In this bit10 moments
  • The word 'polycule' is a synthesis of polyamory and molecule, coined to describe what Tim calls a sex cult.
  • Tim argues families aren't supposed to have sex with each other, and networks aren't either—20 people in a relationship is just a cult.
  • He questions why the New York Times runs weekly articles about people's group sex arrangements and boundary-setting discussions.
  • One polycule member claims abundance of love to give to all participants, which Tim dismisses as completely untrue.
  • With seven wars ongoing and potential nuclear conflict, Tim can't fathom why the Times publishes detailed reporting on whose body parts go where in orgies.
  • The Times provides investigative journalism on the rules and boundary-setting protocols of the polycule arrangement.
  • Tim argues these people aren't interesting and that group sex arrangements have existed forever under different names without needing new terminology.
  • These are the most boring people ever, needing the polycule concept to feel interesting and wild in their own minds.
  • One woman's nesting partner owns the home because he inherited money from his great aunt, while she'll put her ass in anyone's face.
  • The Times publishes articles about polycules weekly, explaining how people handle jealousy, which Tim notes is a real and serious problem in these arrangements.
