With the advent of the internet, those who participate in alternative forms of relationship and sexual expression have come together as a community and created a new subculture whose numbers are growing. The therapeutic and medical needs of this community are different than the traditional patient and it is important for all medical providers to be familiar with the standard of care that may be different in these populations. This text offers the fundamentals about this subculture and important considerations when treating them.
