Power Circuits: Polyamory In a Power Dynamic

by Raven Kaldera

Power Circuits is an alliance between two alternative polyamory, or multiple open and honest romantic relationships; and power dynamics, relationships that choose to be consciously and deliberately unequal in power, such as dominant/submissive or master/slave. Both lifestyles are on the cutting-edge frontiers of romantic and sexual relating, and for a long time practitioners of both have found little sympathy in either camp. This is the first book of its kind that navigates the waters of effective polyamory and power exchanges, with many essays from the brave practitioners who swim there.

[Kelly · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m officially not a fan of Raven Kaldera. I thought I’d relate deeply, given that he is trans, a witch, poly, and kinky. This book is very 101 and approaches the subject matter from a hierarchical 24/7 M/s perspective, that is: the Dominant/Master calling the shots in the relationship(s), having veto power, and all kinds of structures that just don't vibe with me at all.
