The Relationship Anarchy Smorgasbord
The Relationship Anarchy smorgasbord is like a buffet of relational styles, commitments, and expectations. It has no definable rules other than what is agreed on by consenting parties. Relationships within this structure are fluid, and therefore have no solid differentiation between sexual, romantic, or platonic relationships.
