INSIGHT

Sexual Personality Types

Sexual personality types categorize people's natural leanings towards certain relationship styles.
These types include monosexual, polysexual, and adapters, each with varying comfort levels with exclusivity.

INSIGHT

Monogamy Spectrum

The monogamy spectrum (0-6) assesses comfort with exclusivity, aligning with sexual personality types.
Monosexuals (0-1) prefer exclusivity, polysexuals (5-6) need openness, and adapters (2-4) fall in between.

ADVICE

Honest Communication

Initiate honest conversations about desires and discomfort to avoid explosions or pain later.
Expressing vulnerability strengthens relationships and prevents potential cheating or resentment.
