I had a lot of fun doing that so I thought I would share it with you. The article is called <a href=\"http:\/\/sexuality.org\/authors\/francis\/mixedemotions.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Mixed Emotions<\/strong><\/a>; it&#8217;s from an old series called <a href=\"http:\/\/sexuality.org\/authors\/francis\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Organic Love<\/strong><\/a>. The topic is three-way sex. So too is the topic of my new entry in <em>Book of Blue<\/em>, called <a href=\"http:\/\/bookofblue.com\/book-of-blue.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Monogamy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The series at Sexuality.org contains articles from about 1998 through 2002. When I post old articles about sexuality, I like to give a little caveat that I might say some things differently now; I know more, and I have evolved my language and thinking. But I am always happy to see that I am still true to the same basic ethos and that, in a sense, I was ahead of myself. The older stuff is also not in the style of personal narrative; I was not brave enough, or didn&#8217;t think I would be well received. I much prefer my new approach, only because it&#8217;s more fun and immediate. But my older stuff has a practicality to it; a bit of the how-to feeling, which is what I was going for.<\/p>\n<p>I still remember getting an email the first time the editor of Sexuality.org picked up one of my articles &#8212; called <a href=\"http:\/\/sexuality.org\/authors\/francis\/mywtllaf.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Coming to the Revolution<\/strong><\/a>, which I originally wrote for Rob Brezsny&#8217;s website (hi Rob!).
