Editor's Notes
Threeesomes:
the sexual
ideal of many,
the sexual
reality of only a
few. Girl, girl,
guy or guy,
guy, girl, what
ever the
male/female ratio, the ménage a trois embodies the freedom and urge of human sexuality. But these brief erotic encounters share little more than bodily fluids and orgasms.

On page 10, *Jayplay writer Paige Worthy* shows us that conservative and Kansan don't always go hand-in-hand. She introduces us to another type of situation in which more than two folks are fulfilling their fleshy desires. We meet Rob, Cat and Shan, all members of a polyfidelitous triad. Unlike the menage a trois, polyarmy is not about just sex. Members can be in committed loving liaisons similar to the dyadic relationships that Western culture has become so accustomed to. The main difference is that with an extra person comes extra personality, extra emotions and, well, extra sex.
and, Well-Excited.
Whether it is two, three or four people in a relationship, romance is required to make it work. Ashley Doyle's article "Every little bit helps" on page six reminds us that even in small doses, thoughtful gestures make it work.
Thoughtful and romantic perfectly describe the best gift I have ever received. Years ago, I was away from my family on a holiday and feeling very homeiesick. Noticing that I was feeling a little down, the guy I was dating told me to pack a bag. We were going on a trip. He drove me to the airport and we flew back to Kansas City to surprise my family.
family Trust me, a little bit goes a long way.
