What I mean by "work" is that all persons in the "R" are generally pleased, feel cared for, feel that they have adequate time, sex etc... with the other(s). This is where these R's fail - someone always ends up "odd person out". Most people don't cope with that well.
I can see what you mean here. Mrs. Eddie once reported that it's easy for her to resist temptation when she reflects that it's a challenge keeping up with me... trying to keep up with two men would be utterly exhausting for her.

That's the best description of the "slut" stereotype I've seen yet. It's puzzling and fascinating and kind of disturbing that a lot of women seem to get hard and cold and mean just from having a lot of sex with a lot of people, although I recognize that the cause-and-effect relationship could work the other way. I guess Maureen Johnson isn't too common in real life...
a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
