Cooperative Living, Open Relationships & Group Marriage
Cooperative Living, Open Relationships & Group Marriage
| In his book The Harad Experiment, Robert Rimmer combines fictional writing with real life to take us to a college that offers roommates of the opposite sex, classes in how to have tantric sex, and multiple loving relationships along with naked coed swimming in the gym pool.
His Proposition 31 takes us from two couples on the brink of divorce upon finding out the wife of one is pregnant by the husband of the other to a happy quadrad celebrating the holidays together along with the children of both couples all excited about the coming of the new baby brother or sister. The not-pregnant wife then spearheads a campaign to legalize group marriage with the help of her spice (the plural of spouses). We will also discuss what kinds of issues come up in a group marriage. Everything from who sleeps with whom tonight to who takes out the garbage are possibilities. What issues in a group marriage are different from those in less committed group houses which nevertheless involve sexual interaction? |

| Clement Clarke Moore wrote the famous poem “Night Before Christmas” in 1822 when living in his house in Elmhurst, Queens, New York City. Here’s a photo of the house before it was demolished in 1932. Our
High Priestess, Ealswythe (Linda) grew up in Elmhurst and frequently played at the Clement C. Moore Park as a child. It was only about 3 blocks from where she lived. Every year, her elementary school class would go to the park and sing Christmas carols and recite the poem “Night Before Christmas.” She will read the poem for us at the Yule holiday party and lead the Yuletide (Winter Solstice) ritual.
