Interesting article, and I enjoyed reading it, although I’m not sure how much new material you cover. A lot of this looks familiar, but I’m not sure whether it’s from your other articles or from random reading. Could be just from random reading, actually. I’ve read a lot in this area because relationships and sexuality are so generally mystifying to me. And real-world ‘just go out and do it’ experience is what seems to help the most, but ‘the virtue of scholarship’ helps too, so your articles are useful to me.
And a very valuable kind of post that is, because I’m sure there are plenty of people who haven’t read the material that’s in the scientific literature, and even for the people who have, it’s great to have a well-written summary. In a format that’s easier to forward to friends to read, too.

New to Less Wrong? Almost all of it.
New to the scientific community? Almost none of it.
Those are the kinds of posts I generally try to write.
