We all expect to grow and evolve emotionally, intellectually, professionally, but not sexually. Sexuality is seen as immutable, and we're expected to lock ours sexual selves in a room with one other person and throw away the key. Forever.

There are very few narratives out there which discuss the need for sexual growth and fluidity within a long-term relationship. BHF+M does just that. After a lifetime of struggle, Marco finally comes to accept the fact that he is bisexual, with needs which transcend his monogamous marriage of 15 years.

With two teenaged kids and his entire life on the line, Marco comes clean to his wife. It takes an exceptional woman to accept this kind of revelation from her husband – and then to admit that she too wants more: from life, her partner, her marriage, herself.

Conventional wisdom dictates that consensual non-monogamy is the ultimate marital risk. It’s certainly not a recipe for success. Or is it?
