For decades, the romantic storyline followed a rigid, almost mathematical formula: Character A meets Character B, an obstacle arises (usually Character C or a misunderstanding), the obstacle is overcome, and the pair rides off into the sunset of monogamous bliss. The "Happy Ever After" was synonymous with exclusivity.

“I don’t care what you do, just don’t tell me about it.”

The award-winning documentary Learning To Be Naked explores burlesque as a way to challenge stereotypes and celebrate "radical body joy."

Perhaps the most surprising frontier is Young Adult (YA) literature. Traditionally the home of chaste, obsessive, "I will die without you" monogamy (think Twilight or The Fault in Our Stars ), YA is now seeing a wave of books like The Girls Are Never Gone or the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire, where polyamorous triads and open dynamics exist without fanfare.
