Mel Cassidy, a relationship coach specializing in consensual nonmonogamy, notes that earlier resources on nonmonogamy were scarce, focusing primarily on the transition from monogamy, which didn't address the needs of those newly exploring this lifestyle.
Recent studies indicate a growing acceptance of nonmonogamous relationships, with half of adults under 30 viewing open marriages as acceptable and over 20% of single adults having tried consensual nonmonogamy.
Experts like Shadeen Francis emphasize that partners must navigate numerous emotional and sexual concerns when introducing new partners into their relationships, highlighting the complexity involved in nonmonogamous arrangements.
Marie Thouin stresses that good literature on nonmonogamy can help partners develop empathy and compassion, reminding them that they are not alone in their relationship choices.
