Ok, so far this book is absolute bs but it has reached new levels:

"An intriguing hybrid relational path entails the simultaneous relationships (or even marriage) with both physical person(s) and subtle beings that are nonphysical (e.g., imaginal, virtual, or spiritual)."

Yes, it is discussing being nonmonogamous with nonphysical entities near the end as "we can't leave this out of the conversation". The heck???

"this book focuses on [...] heterosexual relationships between cisgender men and women"

"I do not discuss asexual and aromantic identities or orientations , although some asexual people’s emphasis on plural affective bonds can be seen as a type of polyamory"

A bit research and maybe building in quotes could've had helped this, esp. because he writes about deconstructing monocentrism. More intersectionality!

"To this end, I document and critically examine two pairs of interlocked psychosocial attitudes—monopride/polyphobia and polypride/monophobia"

Monophobia. lol. What's next, heterophobia?

I hope this book will be better than the introducion promises, I'm not deep into it but already not convinced by how the author is phrasing a few things.
