Insightful text on relationship anarchy with a focus on an asexual and/or aromantic perspective
What relationship anarchy hinges on the most, for me, is the equality it seeks to create across the relationship board, so that sexual relationships are not superior to nonsexual relationships and “romantic” relationships are not superior to nonromantic friendships, and that equality means that a nonsexual and/or nonromantic friend has the same amount of access to love, intimacy, physical affection, support, etc.
There are people that do it and thrive. The author seems really happy with it.
For some there might be a lot of self reflection necessary to actually live like that.
And maybe for others this might not be desirable at all.
