Kay Prime’s Reviews > Power Circuits: Polyamory in a Power Dynamic > Status Update

Expecting this to be about how to cohesively integrate the practice and ideologies of a very egalitarian relationship structure like polyamory with a consciously disparate power dynamic. So far, this book has been from the perspective of a poly M-type introducing a mono s-type to poly, including which questions to ask yourself and each other- certainly useful info to have, but not what I was seeking.

"Teaching about M/s models with high standards helps would-be slaves to see that they are allowed to have standards from the beginning, before they make any arrangements, and that indeed they should have them. It's how they can keep themselves safe."

A wonderful reminder: "There is no one right level of intensity to a power dynamic. [...] The relationship is good when it's good for everyone involved, not when it matches anyone else's standards."

Thus far, the book has been providing a very brief background and context- very necessary prep when discussing such topics.

Many of the definitions and ideologies, I have some familiarity since I've been part of my local bdsm and poly communities in the past. Still, I found it informative, especially the overviews of the swinging community as well as the leather community since I am less knowledgeable there.
