Who do we love, and if so, how many? Inspired by Precht's formula of self-awareness, Axel Neustädter explores the secrets of gay partnerships in "Open Love." From casual hookups to platonic love and spiritual brotherhood—beyond the typical monogamous couple, there are many possibilities. However, the "king discipline," the open relationship, continues to present couples with diverse challenges. In three sections ("In Love," "Partnered," "Open?"), Neustädter addresses questions that eventually concern every lover yearning for a relationship with that special something: - How do you open a relationship without drama? - What to do with jealousy? - Is casual sex the new fidelity? - Why are open relationships a safer sex method? - And how gay is the relationship trend of "polyamory"?
