I often play along with this without much thinking. Which I think they are, as well.
Basic rules of politeness are pretty easy to put on auto-pilot with enough practice.
edit: with that said, my mom was obsessed with me appearing normal so i kind of had to figure things out. |

| Pretty much anything can be therapy --- if it develops and hones skills, all the better. :) I just started getting back into exercising again after ages. I forgot how great it feels to focus on the body and give the mind a rest. I lose weight, have more energy, look better, and work on various physi... |

| Timers have revolutionized my life. I use them for just about everything - to remind me when the next stage in cooking is ready, to remind me the laundry is done, and also I restrict myself with my cleaning --- only a certain amount of time every day so that i don't get burned out. Lighter cleaning ... |

it mainly becomes a crime if someone's parents finds out and presses charges.
not advocating clandestine affairs with sixteen-year-olds, but girls' parents tend to freak out if their kid is having sex at all. being able to press charges is just a bonus. especially if they don't like you. |

polyamory is one of those things that seems -- more often than not -- to be something lots of people think they are able to handle, but can't.
that's not to say it never works, but jealousy has some strong roots in our biology that way. |
