Healthy relationships come [in] all shapes and sizes:

Person 1: “We don’t have romantic or physical relationships with anyone but each other.” Person 2: “We’re really happy being each other’s one and only.”

Person 3: “We don’t have sex or sexual touching.” Person 4: “But we sure do enjoy cuddling!”

Person 4: “I’m asexual….” Person 5: “But I’m not!” Person 4: “So she fills her sexual needs with other people.” Person 5: “But I always come home to her.”

Person 6: “We love each other and we are both committed to our relationship. We also have romantic and sexual relationships with other people.. That does’t make our love any less valid.”

Person 7: “We’re in a triad. People think that it’s really complicated, but it works for us.” Person 8: “Though we do have to take turns for who gets to sleep in the middle….” Person 9: “Tonight it’s me! I’m going to get all the cuddles.”

Person 10: “Our kink may seem weird to some, and while we’re not romantically involved, our play together is important for both of us. Who’s a good boy?” Person 11: “Ruff!”

Person 11: “I don’t have romantic or sexual relationships with other people. I’m happy flying solo!”
