In my files somewhere I have notes for a novel
titled The Mystery of Our Attractions.
The novel would deal with a polyamorous bi-(pan?)-sexual man trying to
figure out why he is attracted to so many people. Where does this attraction come from? How should he handle these feelings? What does he want or expect to happen as he
comes to terms with these attractions and voices them?
As he acts (or doesn’t act) on these attractions,
is he behaving “sex positive” or “sex negative?” Is he giving the proper respect to the people
that he is attracted to? Is he being
fair to them—and to himself?
How can he acknowledge how he feels towards all
these people? How can he fairly open his
being to all of them, in a way that is enriching and fulfilling for all of
them. What is the key? What is the trick?
How can he ethically open to them all?
If he can’t do that, what can he do?
Thought-Shaloms for a new year!
