A Siren Erotic Romance

Reviews:
5 Angels: “The Polyamorous Princess is an intriguing book, and one that kept me interested. Although it is primarily an erotic novel, the reader will also discover a good grounding in science fiction allowing the action to take place in a believable spaceship in the middle of an epic war. The romance scenes whether f/m, m/m or m/m/f have all been delicately and tastefully done although because of the nature of the book some readers may find the scenes uncomfortable. I thought this book was excellent and I would recommend to anyone who is looking for an erotic book with a difference or for anyone who is looking for an erotic science fiction novel. I will definitely be looking out for more of Ms. Aaron’s work.” –Heidi, Fallen Angel Reviews

4.5 Blue Ribbons: “The Polyamorous Princess takes a different look at the menage relationship. I especially enjoyed the realistic portrayal of the men in the story trying to come to grips with Allie’s feelings for the other as well as the preening and posturing that goes along with trying to make the other man go away. Once they accept that they could be a family, the rest was gravy. Each character was remarkably diverse and I liked how Ms. Aaron portrayed their differences. For a completely unique take on a menage, or rather, polyamorous relationship, The Polyamorous Princess won-t disappoint.” -Natasha Smith, Romance Junkies

4.5 Kisses: “The Polyamorous Princess is a fascinating tale set in a bold world. Polyamorous relations are nothing new to the world created by Melodee Aaron. Allison’s father is married to four women who are all in love with each other. There are no sexual taboos in Allison-s world. Allison is a loving woman caught between two men. She loves them both and is torn apart at having to choose one. Damon and Harry are both yummy in their determination to win Allison. Damon is heroic when he leaves on his mission. I will admit to crying a bit when he was reported as dead. Melodee Aaron did an outstanding job bringing her characters to life. The story focuses on the relationship between the three characters, but the war with the Arupian Empire is very much a presence in The Polyamorous Princess. The book’s plot has a wonderful flow and the story is a pleasure to read.” –Tara Renee, Two Lips Reviews

Polyamorous – The Second Question Of Monogamy

The last time I wrote about monogamy it prompted a lot of great comments, which led to even more questions. The first question is: is long term (20 or more years) monogamy a natural state for humans? The second question becomes this: if it’s not our natural state, what are our options in a society that generally favors monogamy?

I am in a long term monogamous relationship (22 years) so I’m probably not the best person to be pontificating on the benefits of polyamory. As my relationship has become challenging again over the past few months, it has offered me the opportunity to explore other options. Our first option was to go back into couples therapy, which we began two weeks ago. Other options include shaking things up sexually. Over the past few years, we’ve discussed inviting a third person into our bed. We have friends who are in an open relationship, and I have some polyamorous friends, which coupled with some research I’ve done, has led me to some conclusions about polyamory. 

First let me say that although long term monogamy is not our natural state, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making it your personal choice. In fact, I believe that tremendous growth and healing can come from a long term monogamous relationship if both partners are committed to that growth. You don’t have to be in exactly the same place in your journeys, but it is important to be heading in the same direction. When one person wants to get off the ride, the problems begin. 

Second, I do not believe that becoming non-monogamous will by itself solve serious relationship problems. For example, if the problem is a lack of emotional connection, it’s probably a very bad idea to bring another person into the sexual relationship. Doing so would give the person seeking deeper emotional connection a different person to relate to, which would likely cause an even deeper divide with their partner. 

A third point when considering alternatives to monogamy is the issue of trust. If you don’t trust your partner, don’t even consider non-monogamy. Jealousy and insecurity are two big warning signs that there’s not enough trust for non-monogamy in your relationship. I suspect that 85-90% of couples fall into this category. It takes a lot of emotional maturity to allow your partner to be with another person sexually and still maintain a loving emotional commitment.

Creating a healthy, loving non-monogamous relationship is tricky business. Essential components include trust, mutual love and respect, and open communication. Maintaining open communication means discussing the entire range of feelings you experience, even if you’d rather not confess to them. Both you and your partner must be willing to live and speak from an open heart.  I would recommend creating a clear contract in advance, including a clause that invites re-negotiation on a regular basis. 

In my contemplation about all of this, I’ve concluded that non-monogamy would work best in two cases. In the first, a couple deeply loves each other and cherishes the companionship of the relationship but have different sexual needs. In the second, both partners consciously choose to change the paradigm of monogamy for themselves and within their relationship. If you fit into one of these categories, you may find a rich and varied world at your feet. Just remember to practice safe sex!

Gaza Flotilla – The History Of Bermuda

 Bermuda was first discovered in 1503 by a Spanish explorer named Juna de Bemudez. At first both Spanish and Portuguese ships used the islands as stop over for fresh meat and water.

Soon legends of spirits and devils inhabiting the island sprang up. Most likely these legends sprang from the callings of native birds.

Stormy sea conditions kept anyone from establishing permanent settlements on the “Isle of Devils” for many years.  

The first attempt to settle the island came in 1515 when Bermudz and Gonzalo Fenandez  de Oviedo went to Bermuda with the concept of stocking the island with breeding hogs as a future food source for passing ships. That misson failed when inclement weather prevented them from landing.

During the next century the island was visited frequently but never settled, also during this time the first two English settlements in Virginia also failed and the King of England was determined to establish a colony in the new world.

In 1609 a flotilla of ships left England for the Americas to relieve the colony at Jamestown which had been settled two years earlier.

The flotilla was broken up by a storm and the flagship,Sea Venture was wrecked off Bermuda, leaving the survivors stranded on Bermuda. Most of the survivors continued on to America, the remaining settlers  claimed  the island for England and St. George’s was made the first capital. Being settled in 1612, it is now the oldest continually inhabited English town in the New World. The first British coins struck in America were made here.

Because of it’s limited land area and near perfect climate, Bermuda has always had a problem with over  population. Luckily many Bermudians immigrated to the United States as England over came Spain as the dominant European power in the new world. As seafaring was the only industry on the island at least a third of the islands total population was a sea at any particular time. 

Due to limited resources  and land some of the worlds first conservation measures were enacted in Bermuda.

Although many attempts were made to farm the land , they met with little success and the tiny island finally turned to the sea as it’s main source of income.

And along with salt mining, the sailors turned to other ventures , such as whaling and profiteering.  The land was also replanted with the native juniper, which was  used in ship building.

After the American Revolution the Royal Navy began improving the harbors in the west chain. During the War of 1812, the British attacks on Washington and Baltimore were planned and began in Bermuda.

Bermuda was used regularly by Confederate forces during the Civil War to evade Union forces,and to bring desperately needed goods to the south from England. 

As modern communications and transportation systems developed in the 20th century, Bermuda became a popular destination for wealthy American, British and Canadian tourists.

The Royal Naval Dockyard and the attendant military garrison continued to be an important component of Bermuda’s economy until the mid-20th century.

Beginning during World War 2, the United States began building military installations  on the island.

In the late 1930s airlines began scheduled airline service to the island., in today’s world international business has out reached tourism as Bermuda’s principle industry.
