In print and online media the subject is usually treated fairly these days. But broadcast media is a different situation, especially TV. Our needs and their needs are the oppposite. Ironically, our successful open, honest and functional relationships are boring compared to the drama of those that don’t work. Translation: Ratings disaster.

Our interests are served by being portrayed as honest, ethical, committed, and not that much different than anyone else. Their interests are served by sensationalizing, dramatizing, and even demonizing what we do in order to achieve the desired effect. And I suspect that there are still some producers who worry about the flak they will get, especially from sponsors, if they portray open and honest extramarital relationships as healthy and legitimate. (House is on Fox, after all.) But things can turn around. Jenny Block, who was talked over and not given a fair chance when a guest on Fox’s Mornings with Mike and Juliet (more about that at http://vb.ly/29ru) now has a regular sex blog on fox.com. You can see that at (http://vb.ly/29rv). Go figure. NOT someone who wrote a book about hot monogamy, not a sexologist, but instead a bisexual woman who wrote a book about her open marriage.

Aside: I’m not sure how that qualifies one to give sex advice and hope that her credibility isn’t founded in the perception that she’s a slut. And to be fair to my friend, she *is* a wonderful writer.

So I guess we take the good with the bad and indeed look forward to the day when our functioning relationships are more consistently and fairly portrayed by broadcast media.
