It's official: Melbourne is in the world's most polyamory-friendly country
Melbourne might be onto something when it comes to relationships, with Australia topping new global research on openness to non-monogamy.

Petition to Let The Bachelor/ette Pick as Many Damn Partners as They Want

Fans are apparently upset that the next "Bachelorette" has a history of soft swinging.

Which is weird, given that the entire premise of "The Bachelor/ette" is basically temporary consensual non-monogamy (with cameras).

For Some Reason Fans Of 'The Bachelorette' Are Upset That A Recovering Soft Swinger Was Chosen For New Season
I've somehow managed to avoid watching a single episode of The Bachelorette over its run of 21 seasons. That impressive streak, credit to me, could be coming to an end with Season 22.
