American Poly A History
Sinopsis
Recent studies have found that as many as one in
five Americans have experimented with some form
of sexual non-monogamy, and approximately one in
fifteen knows someone who was or is polyamorous.
The mainstream media has increasingly covered
polyamorous lifestyles and the committed
relationships of throuples, and dating apps have
added polyamory as a status option.This book is
the first history to trace the evolution of
polyamorous thought and practice within the
broader context of American culture. Drawing on
personal journals and letters, underground
newsletters, and publications from the Kinsey
Institute Archives, among other sources, it
reconstructs polyamory's intellectual
foundations, highlighting its unique blend of
conservative political thought and
countercultural spiritualism. Christopher M.
Gleason locates its early foundations in the
Roaring Twenties among bohemians. In the 1950s
and 1960s it surprisingly emerged among
libertarian science fiction writers. Throughout
the 1990s, polyamorists utilized the internet to
spread their ideas, often undermining any
remaining religious or spiritual significance
their ideas held.Offering an original
perspective on sexuality, marriage, and the
family, American Poly reveals the history of
polyamory in the United States from fringe
practice to a new stage of the sexual revolution.
