This week involves understanding polyamory which involves distinguishing it from open relationships, which focus on physical exploration, while polyamory emphasizes forming emotional bonds with multiple partners. Core principles include consent, communication, non-exclusivity, compersion, individual autonomy, customization, and emotional honesty, with relationship structures ranging from hierarchical to non-hierarchical, solo, parallel, and kitchen table polyamory. Exploring the intersection of polyamory and BDSM reveals how they complement each other, with individuals navigating dynamics with multiple partners. While challenges like jealousy and societal stigma exist, embracing ethical principles fosters healthier relationships. Navigating New Relationship Energy (NRE) is crucial, and The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy is recommended reading for further insights. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chattingwiththelightkeepr/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chattingwiththelightkeepr/support

This episode may get your heads scratching if you're tuning in from a society that has very specific relationship dynamics and arrangements in place. My curiosity to how other's live their lives and what they deem as healthy for their relationships has never been higher, as I am in the process of becoming the best partner and friend myself.In this episode, I speak to Akil Apollo Davis, a full-time Performing Artist & Theatre Professor of Mask and Art Aesthetic. He has been a unique and influential presence in New York City's performance, educational and cultural avant-garde for 2 decades. We discuss the ins and outs of this thing called Sex Positivity. And to give you a brief idea, sex positivity is a social and cultural movement that promotes an affirmative and open attitude towards all aspects of sexuality. It encourages individuals to embrace and explore their own sexual desires, preferences, and identities without judgment or shame. Sex positivity emphasizes the importance of consent, communication, and respect in sexual relationships. He has trained with Monks in Thailand, Brahmans in Bali, Witches in New York, and has worked with Psychologists to bridge the gaps between esoteric knowledge and classical paradigms. Akil's Karmic mantra: there must be more light. Episode Highlights Meet the one and only Akil How he went from celibacy to monogamy to discovering consensual non-monogamy Akil's understanding of attachment and fear in relationships The establishment of monogamy Accessing your healthy sexual energy The tiers of being non-monogamous, and the importance of communication on your wants and needs Emotional maturity Real life examples on how non-monogamy works The ins and outs of play parties The downsides of sex positivity/monogamy Compersion - a new word to remember Resources, courtesy of Akil:Sex-Positivity for Curious Minds 1.“The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures” by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy2.“Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life” by Emily Nagoski3.“Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships” by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá4.“Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships” by Tristan Taormino5.“What Makes a Baby” by Cory Silverberg (for all kinds of families)6.“Queer: A Graphic History” by Meg-John Barker and Julia Scheele7.“The New Topping Book” by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy8.“The New Bottoming Book” by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy9.“Girl Sex 101” by Allison Moon and KD Diamond10.“Pussy: A Reclamation” by Regena Thomashauer11.“Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century” by Barbara Carrellas12.“Sex God Method” by Daniel Rose13.“The Art of Sexual Magic: Cultivating Sexual Energy to Transform Your Life” by Margo Anand Psychological and Emotional Work for Curious Minds1.“The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” by Bessel van der Kolk2.“The Sexual Healing Journey: A Guide for Survivors of Sexual Abuse” by Wendy Maltz3.“Healing Sex: A Mind-Body Approach to Healing Sexual Trauma” by Staci Haines4.“Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha” by Tara Brach5.“The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship” by Don Miguel Ruiz6.“Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love” by Dr. Sue Johnson7.“More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory” by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert8.“Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy” by Irvin D.

Liv Brunet est peut-être la personne célibataire la plus heureuse et sereine que j'ai rencontrée, une source d'inspiration. Liv est une fille, il en a eu la révélation/confirmation le 26 mai 2023 précisément (détails : https://youtu.be/AgVvuRF5lEU?si=BwIvREAYeVSLyi_5). C'est une personne qui m'a aidée à pousser ma réflexion sur certains sujets et à acquérir des réflexes qui m'aident au quotidien, notamment en tant qu'aidante. Dans cet épisode, pour la première fois au micro, j'évoque ma réaction lors de la rupture avec mon compagnon, après 13 ans, il y a 8 ans déjà, un siècle ! Qui était là pour m'aider à traverser cette épreuve et à me relever ? (Merci à elles et eux) Comment Liv a vécu ses propres ruptures, dont la dernière. Où va l'amour quand on est quitté·e ? Comme le chante si bien Nach (Anna Chedid) dans "Ce qu'ils deviennent" : "Où vont les vœux, est-ce qu'ils reviennent?", que faire de tous ces projets qu'on avait à 2 ? Les adapter en projets solo/sola ? Nous évoquons aussi avec Liv comment il envisage l'amour, les rencontres, à 63 ans, est-ce que les applis de rencontres sont le bon endroit ? Pas forcément pour lui. [Il est d'accord pour être genré au masculin, j'ai demandé]. Un épisode dense, chargé en émotions, parfois philosophique, j'espère que ça vous parlera :) Bonne écoute !Précision : la voix de Liv est encore un peu voilée car il avait été malade quelques jours auparavant. Merci de votre compréhension.Prochain épisode le 17 janvier, passion Francophonie, enfin une personne née au Québec ! Je suis joie !

Ainsi je vous déconseille fortement le site PARSHIP, qui pratique l'extorsion : on ne peut pas résilier avant 1 an obligatoire, même si on n'utilise plus le service, qui n'est pas satisfaisant, car très peu de personnes dans votre région. Le service client n'a que mépris pour les clients et le service communication ne veut rien entendre (un comble), aucun arrangement possible. Donc évitez-vous une dépense inutile.

Greetings! Back from a podcast break with an episode of 3 Questions with Astrologer Pix Wilder from Pixrtea Astrology. This recording is from May 2023 from the Northwest Astrological conference. We found a quiet room to talk, which if you have listened to my other interviews from the conference you'll notice the public noise in the background. It was nice departure. I've been watching Pixrtea's work on social media and their Youtube channel. She has built up an amazing community and I respect her astrological takes. We talk about several books in the episode. One being "Come as you Are" by Emily Nagoski. We mixed up the author with Esther Perel which is something Gemini's do because we are reading multiple books at the same time! LOL. Thanks for being on the podcast Pixrtea. See you back in Valisthea...I suggest you follow Pixrtea on her TikTok, IG and other channels! https://pixrtea.com/links You can also visit her website: https://pixrtea.com/Books mentioned in the episode: (affiliate links support the channel)The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need by Joanna Martine Woolfolkhttps://bookshop.org/a/3355/9781589796539 or https://amzn.to/47jGDbtCome As You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoskihttps://bookshop.org/a/3355/9781982165314 or https://amzn.to/45PTDo4The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love by Janet W.

You've likely heard the saying, "Variety is the spice of life!", but when it comes to sexuality, variety is often frowned upon. In this episode, we get into the spiciness that comes from embracing sexual variety, particularly within our polyamorous throuple. . In this episode, we share how challenging outdated societal norms has increased our sexual chemistry, strengthened our relationships, and resulted in higher satisfaction both in ourselves and each other. . Remember to subscribe to our channel to stay updated with our latest content. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards understanding and acceptance. .

WE'RE BACK!! Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. On this weeks episode we've got the second part to our interview with the legendary Lisa Chatham. We cover a lot of ground from consent with partners and owning our wanting, speaking boundaries, polyamory and consenting non-monogamy, what it means to be a hell yes, and much more. The conversation of consent is one we could have indefinitely, and we grappled with such ideas, as not being damaged goods as a survivor of sexual assault and what it might mean to have a somatic practice in order to get back into our bodies after long moments of dissociation. We are all worthy of excellent sexual experiences so press play and enjoy!To connect with Lisa Chatham:http://www.lisachathampsychotherapy.comTo connect with Chloe:Email: chloe@downwithmydemons.comResources Mentioned:https://www.5rhythms.com/https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/4/21/proposed-changes-harassment-policies/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1363460720961303https://sadeclasses.org/speaker/julie-fennell-slutphdBooks:The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardyhttps://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Slut-Third-Practical-Relationships/dp/0399579664Please Scream Quietly: A Story of Kink by Julie Fennellhttps://www.hpb.com/please-scream-quietly-a-story-of-kink/P-47814652-NEW.htmlThe Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin with Robyn Dalzenhttps://wheelofconsentbook.com/Respect: Everything a Guy Needs to Know about Sex, Love, and Consent by Inti Chavez Perezhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43669272-respectPussy: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer https://www.amazon.com/Pussy-Reclamation-Regena-Thomashauer/dp/1401950248Support the show

Swingers are couples that have sex with other couples, right? Well, like everything with our sexual desires, it's not so hard and fast ;) Suzie Wong talks about how the Lifestyle (LS) includes wife swapping, unicorns, half unicorns, single men, orgies, and much more. Her stories about how her swinging lifestyle make hosts @KerstinPorter and @GreenberryLucas question most of what they thought they knew about swingers. They also learn an amazing new word, COMPERSION, which means to wholeheartedly participate in the happiness of others. It's the opposite of jealousy and what couples experience in the swinger community.  Suzie also helps our caller, Becky, figure out how she can be a swinger with her husband, but without having to do any girl on girl action.  Books: The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy, Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá  Swinger Communities and Dating Sites: SDC.com, Kasidie, Adult FriendFinder,  Resorts: Desire Every other Wednesday, tune in for another episode on how to find an adult buddy.   Hit up AdultBuddyFinders.com to join the conversation and even become a caller! #swingers #thelifestyle #LS #Orgies #WifeSwap #unicorn  #podcast #sexpositive #sexual #sexed #sexpositivepodcast --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adultbuddyfinders/support

Episode SummaryDossie Easton is a co-author of The Ethical Slut and four other books on sex, BDSM and relationships. As a pioneer in the world of polyamory she renders fascinating and mirthful accounts of her hard-earned wisdom on navigating the dynamics of non-traditional relationships, particularly with the ethics of “sluthood.” Dossie is also a psychotherapist in private practice and an accomplished poet. Episode #28 of the How Humans Work Podcast w/Jef Szi jumps right in, as Dossie spontaneously recounts a key psychedelic experience from 1969. Her visions in this pivotal “trip” made clear that the path forward in life would be at least a five-year commitment to exploring her sexuality in a non-monogamous way. As an Ethical Slut for more than 50 years since, Dossie has a wealth of experience and wisdom to share. We had a wide-ranging conversation across nearly two hours, delving into an array of lessons and issues which are connected to non-monogamy and polyamory. Specifically we talk about: the role of feminism in sexual liberation - the “discovery” of the clitoris in 1973 - ethical tales in “one night stands” - the community benefits that come with a village of lovers - the importance of language in talking about sex - the the self discovery found in sex and relationships - how to work with sexual jealousy - the ethical responsibilities that come with difference in sexual experience - aspects of navigating polyamory - dealing with transgressors effectively - why sexual freedom requires an absence of sexism - active and receptive roles in sexual relationships unbound by gender and much more.This show is definitely one of most interesting and joyful conversations to date on the podcast. Dossie's deep sincerity and amazing capacity to talk about matters of sex with courage and knowledge was an afternoon to be remembered. I hope you find it as thought provoking and meaningful as I did. Enjoy the show and let me know what you think.

Leo hat einen Freund in Lübeck, die beiden haben eine Fernbeziehung. Da verknallt sie sich parallel in wen anders. Leos erster Gedanke ist: "Man verliebt sich nur in andere, wenn man unglücklich ist." Dann stößt sie auf einen Artikel, in dem es um Polyamorie geht. Also darum, dass eine Person mehrere Menschen liebt und mehrere Beziehungen gleichzeitig führt. Leo weiß sofort: Das bin ich. Das will ich auch. Ihr Freund kommt da nicht mit, die beiden trennen sich. Dann kommt Leo mit Thomas* zusammen und die beiden sind sich einig: Sie wollen ihre Beziehung offen halten. Doch als Thomas zum ersten Mal ein Date mit einer anderen Person hat, ist Leo eifersüchtig und ziemlich überrascht von diesem Gefühl. Trotzdem lebt Leo bis heute poly – und ist mittlerweile mit Thomas verheiratet. Zwischenzeitlich hatte Leo mal sechs verschiedene Partner*innen, aktuell sind es vier. Sie studiert Jura und beschäftigt sich in ihrer Promotion mit den Rechtsfolgen von Trennungen in Poly-Beziehungen. **********Den Artikel zum Stück findet ihr hier.**********Mitwirkende: Autor*in: Judith Geffert Moderatorin: Shalin Rogall **********Die Quellen zur Folge:Wikipediaeintrag über Polyamorie, den Leo ihrer Mutter zum gelesen hatPolyamorie - Zu viele Schmetterlinge im Bauch - Leserartikel von Zeit Online, den auch Leo gelesen hat (14.04.2015)**********Weiterführende Informationen:"Schlampen mit Moral.

What is nonmonogamy? Trauma-informed relationship coach Miriam Diana will tell you what you need to know! In this episode: Miriam Diana references the nonmonogamy bible: "The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love." The authors of "The Ethical Slut" are sex educator and writer Janet W. Hardy and marriage and family therapist Dossie Easton. The very first edition of "The Ethical Slut" came out in 1994 when Dossie Easton was 50 years old; the first mass-produced edition was published in 1997 when she was 54. Miriam Diana shares her personal experiences with open relationships and monogamishamy. Shout out to Dan Savage for the term "monogamish"! At minute 28:00, Miriam Diana leads a relaxation exercise to connect your heart to your sexy parts, as well as a visualization meditation to help you feel into what type of relationship structure works best for you. Do you feel best when you're in a monogamous relationship container? Or do you feel most happy and peaceful with multiple partners and/or lovers? This practice will help you imagine what each experience would be like. Ask a question for the podcast at tinyurl.com/sensitiveslutquestions.

In today's world, we're often encouraged to think that sex is no longer a subject burdened with shame or repressed feelings. Rather, it is pleasurable, exciting and even empowering – as long as all parties are consenting. But do women really have the same sexual freedom as men, or are they still living in a man's world, conforming to male heterosexual desires and tastes? How do young women who've grown up in a sexually celebratory and supposedly shame-free society navigate sex? To discuss it, our host, the cultural historian and broadcaster Shahidha Bari, is joined by the authors of two books taking differing approaches to the debate: Christine Emba, columnist for The Washington Post and author of Rethinking Sex: A Provocation, and Dossie Easton, therapist and co-author of The Ethical Slut.

Feeling defeated by last week's overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court? As an antidote to the bad news, we share this origin story from Author, Psychotherapist, Kinkster, Sex Radical and Ethical Slut, Dossie Easton. This story was told at Dossie's Story Toast in 2019, where we celebrated both her 75th birthday and the 50th Anniversary of *this*, Dossie's life-changing trip to a new sexually empowered version of feminism. Gather your strength and be inspired by Dossie's true tale as we prepare to challenge what's next. #WorkToDo #TooIntelligent #TooOutspoken #TooStrong #TheRiddleOfTheUniverse   Song: ‘Unstoppable' (Sia) About the Storyteller:   Dossie Easton, a long time player on the San Francisco S/M scene, is co-author with Janet Hardy of The Ethical Slut, The Bottoming and Topping Books, and Radical Ecstasy:  SM Journeys to Transcendence.     Dossie is a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and more in her private practice in San Francisco, with a particular interest in how S/M journeys into Shadow can bring old wounds into the healing light of consciousness and and give them a shot of life force in the form of good hot sex.    An active sex radical since 1961, Dossie was a member of the first Board of Directors of the Society of Janus in San Francisco in 1974, and active with SFSI from 1973 to 1985.

“The BDSM Test” is infamous in the kink community and beyond. Since 2014, thousands have proudly posted results like a badge of honor on FetLife profiles. We use it as a roadmap, educational tool, and kink negotiation starter. It's even gone vanilla as the focus of social media challenges and pop magazine writeups. But is this kink subculture phenomenon all it's cracked up to be? While some find it helpful & validating, many say it's othering, stigmatizing, and normalizes red-flag behavior disguised as “kink.” Midori & kinky therapist Joe Zarate-Sanderlin join us on ep 192 to deconstruct the BDSM test question by question + explore its wider impact. Why don't we scrutinize it the same way vet other educational sources? Who wrote this kink test, why, and what are they using the massive amount of data they're collecting about our deviant desires for? Turns out, it's a bit of a mystery…   Midori Bio “Your Fairy God-Auntie of Kink. Exploding Expectations. Challenging Conventions.” Trailblazing educator, sexologist, artist, and irritant to banality, Midori founded Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women's Dominance Intensive. She penned the first English instruction book on Shibari, “Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage” in 2001, paving the way for the popularity of rope. Dan Savage calls her the “Super Nova of Kink,” while others affectionately call her Auntie Midori for her cool, tell-it-like-it-is, funny, reality-based teaching. She is also the author of “Wild Side Sex,” “Master Han's Daughter,” and “Silk Threads.” Education, Coaching, Private Learning & Art: https://planetmidori.com. Special membership perks! Learn, laugh, and enjoy her special online classes, events, and art at www.patreon.com/PlanetMidori  where she is working on her next shibari book!   Joe Zarate-Sanderlin Bio "Joe Zarate-Sanderlin, an Assigned Male at Birth non-binary person (pronouns: they/them/theirs), came of age in the New York City kink scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s and they have connections in the Boston and San Francisco kink communities. They are a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in San Francisco where they specialize in working with gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. They teach several courses at Golden Gate University and were recognized as an Outstanding Adjunct Professor for 2022. They provide training and consultation regarding Talking to Clients about Sex, Gender in Psychotherapy, Open Relationships, BDSM Relationships, and other topics. In addition to private practice, their clinical experience includes being supervised by Dossie Easton for two and half years plus volunteering at a Catholic school for three years, a continuation high school for one year, and at a low-fee clinic for four years.  They worked for the Burning Man Emergency Services Department for ten years, both in the Nevada desert and in the streets of San Francisco. In their spare time, they ski, coach and referee soccer, brew kombucha, dance to 80s music, and parent elementary-aged old twins."   Episode 192 Links Midori Twitter https://twitter.com/PlanetMidori Midori Instagram https://www.instagram.com/planetmidori/ Midori Newsletter https://www.fhp-inc.com/newsletter Midori class/event calendar http://www.FHP-Inc.com/classes Midori's Patreon https://www.patreon.com/PlanetMidori/ Joe Zarate-Sanderlin Twitter https://twitter.com/jzsmft Joe Zarate-Sanderlin Website http://www.jzsmft.com/ Joe Zarate-Sanderlin Email: joe@jzsmft.com Joe Zarate-Sanderlin  GGU Presents: Empathic Communication https://tinyurl.com/GGU-Empathy Joe Zarate-Sanderlin Gender Inclusive Language https://tinyurl.com/GGU-Gender Joe Zarate-Sanderlin Rebel Therapist: Express Yourself https://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/93 The BDSM Test http://BDSMTest.org @FocusedOnInfinity “Welcome to America” https://www.tiktok.com/@focusedoninfinity/video/7113012283181190442?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=6901962179530294789 @MargaretCho “Don't Be Scared” https://www.tiktok.com/@themargaretcho/video/7112909096608730410?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=6901962179530294789 TASHRA -THE ALTERNATIVE SEXUALITIES HEALTH RESEARCH ALLIANCE https://www.tashra.org/ CARAS - The Community-Academic Consortium for Research on Alternative Sexualities https://www.carasresearch.org/ Sexual Health Alliance Kink Informed Certification Program for Therapists & Care Professionals https://sexualhealthalliance.com/kink-informed-certification-program Romancing the Shadow: Challenging Limiting Beliefs Through Kink- Midori https://zippermagazine.com/challenginglimiting-beliefs-through-kink/ Additional Links ZipperMagazine.com https://zippermagazine.com/ Zipper Magazine Instagram https://www.instagram.com/zippermagdotcom/ Zipper Magazine Twitter https://twitter.com/ZipperMagDotcom Zipper Magazine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Zipper-Magazine-113123824749292 Zipper Magazine Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxFDRtDhukxyQ_9t-Xfo2-w Open Deeply Podcast http://opendeeplypodcast.com Sunny Megatron TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@sunnymegatron Ken's charity DnD game Mondays 4pm-7pm PT https://www.twitch.tv/thunderpantsacademy American Sex Podcast Discord Community http://bit.ly/discordasp American Sex Podcast Patreon http://patreon.com/americansex Kink Academy Online BDSM Learning Library http://bit.ly/kinkacademy Sunny's Free Kink Negotiation & Scene Planning Mini-Workbook https://sunnymegatron.gumroad.com/l/negotiationwb   Episode 192 Sponsor & Affiliate Discount Codes/Links *by using our links & codes you can help support our work while saving a few bucks too—win/win! 15% off AND free shipping when you go to http://LikeAKitten.com/sunny OR enter code SUNNY at checkout Get up to 2 free months of podcasting service with Libsyn using this link https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=SUNNY or use code SUNNY Hot & Healthy Erotic Humiliation recorded class https://gum.co/humiliationclass Prostate Play for Beginners (recorded class) from Sugar Baltimore https://www.sugartheshop.com/prostate-milking-for-beginners.html Sunny & Ken's classes on Kink Academy http://bit.ly/kinkacademyelectric & http://bit.ly/kinkacademyhumiliation 10% off American Sex Podcast & Sunny Megatron merch with code SUNNY (t-shirts, mugs, phone cases & more) http://bit.ly/sunnyshirts 15% off your order at Lovehoney when you use this link http://bit.ly/lovehoney15 This link can be a little wonky and does not keep tracking cookies.

Evidence of kink can be found throughout history. It isn't new - but portrayals of it can lead to a cultural misunderstanding. With the help of experts and those in the kink community, Ruby explores the different ways kink can look and be practised, as well as the ways that shame and judgement is dealt with and combatted through community.

People can be with one or more lovers and sex can be one of many forms of intimacy. Your life is yours to craft based on your needs and how that communicates with other people's. There is a huge array of possibilities, and focusing on where you shine and grow best is powerful. ~ This show takes the question, am I into monogamy (literally, one wife) or polyamory (many loves) and asks, who are you? who are they? how do you let yourself live fully and be a means for other people to live fully? It suggests a new language based on love, communication, diversity, commitment, pleasure and more that you are a part of inventing or in some cases re-finding, uniting mind-body-spirit-feeling needs and abilities. ~ Beyond looking within and out with the people in your life, some books and shows a lot of people have read and listened to are Opening Up(Tristan Taormino), More Than Two (Franklin Veaux & Eve Rickert), The Ethical Slut (Janet Hardy & Dossie Easton), Polyamory Weekly, Loving Without Boundaries, Amory, and there are many more. ~Comments on this show and suggestions for future episodes?

In a new segment we dig in to some Sex Lit to really learn something. Starting today we will be going through The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy. Every week will focus on a chapter of the book. I hope you join us in reading. If you need help accessing a copy of the book - dm us on instagram @fckmepod! Originally published in 1997, this piece is written by two women as they examine what it means to be a slut and how they move in and out of a society that judges them. The Ethical Slut seeks to reclaim the derogatory term forced on femmes and wields it consciously and willfully. Hope you sluts join us!

This week, we talked to the freaking AUTHOR of the The Ethical Slut: Dossie Easton! If you haven't heard of it before, The Ethical Slut is a comprehensive book on ethical non-monogamy that's a must-read for anyone considering the lifestyle. Dossie is not only a writer, sex educator, and psychotherapist, she's also a wealth of useful knowledge and intriguing stories. Our conversation covers topics such as life-changing acid trips, vows to never be monogamous again, the benefits of sex-positivity, raising children in communes, and normalizing the word "slut." To learn more about Dossie Easton, check out her website, or go take a look at her new project that involves workshops and an upcoming book: Navigating Consent.

Happy 10th Episode!Join the discussion between Amberadical and her anonymous guest on open relationships of all kinds.  We are taking a step away from the educational perspective, and instead having fun with some casual sex talk!  We can't speak for everyone and all dynamics, we can only speak for ourselves, and that we do!  I asked you all a question or two, and I listened!  Tune in to hear the results of the listener poll and audience question, and hear two friends gossip about past relationships, current affairs, celeb representation, coming out to family, and what we love about ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, polyamory, polysexuality, group sex, threesomes, willow smith, sister wives, twilight, and alllll the jealousy and feelings.  P.S. we talk about dick and pussy, sorry grandma.www.amberadical.comBook: Ethical Slut,  by Dossie Easton and Janet HardyEnter Sex Without Fear's Giveaway on Instagram @sexwithoutfearSupport the show

In this episode, Dossie describes her latest endeavor where she and her colleague have been leading six-week group workshops for survivors of sexual abuse, as well as six-week groups for sexual violence offenders. Among many topics, she discusses the need for broader open communication about sex, consent, and the nuances of working with sexual violence transgressors. Dossie also discusses her work with individuals in open, polyamorous, and BDSM relationships, and the concepts of attachment, consent, communication, and healing aspects of BDSM. ​ Dossie Easton, LMFT is the author of The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures, as well as four other books on various aspects of BDSM, sex, and relationships, all co-authored by Janet W. Hardy. Dossie is also a licensed marriage and family therapist in the San Francisco Bay Area, specializing in working with trauma survivors. She works iwth alternative sexualities and open relationships, and serves the polyamorous, gender-diverse, and LGBTQ communities. She is also a speaker on the topic of cultural competency with couples and individuals in the BDSM community. Recently, she has been running separate six-week groups for survivors, and transgressors of sexual abuse called Navigating Consent: Helping Build a More Consensual Future.

This week we talked to Emerson, the person behind The Kink Educator Instagram account that serves up bite-sized informative tidbits all about how to engage in safe and healthy kink. We discuss the four main pillars of kink: negotiation, consent, communication, and aftercare. Emerson believes that these concepts can be used not only in kinky sex, but also in vanilla sex and even non-sexual situations. Of course, it wouldn't be an episode on kink if we didn't discuss the problematic Mr. Christian Grey...but we also share our views on other pop culture instances of kink, including the movie Secretary and the new Netflix show Bonding. To finish up the episode, Emerson gave us a list of her favorite resources for getting involved in kink, including The New Bottoming Book and The New Topping Book by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton, the Ask a Sub meme account on Instagram that also has a Patreon for long-form content, Watts the Safeword on Youtube, and Evie Lupine on Youtube.

When you think of "black love," do you think of a black hetero couple? If you do, this is the episode for you, because J.Mix and Ashley Jemini will be talking about the exact opposite :) On this episode, they give insight on what love means in the context of being polyamorous and queer black women. They address their views on compulsory monogamy, marriage, and divorce.

Hello friends, welcome back to a new episode of The Curious One! I have a very interesting episode for you.. I'm diving head first into relationships, and more specifically, polyamory. If you have not heard of polyamory before, it can be defined as the philosophy or state of encouraging simultaneous loving relationships with the full knowledge and consent of all parties. Although, each form of polyamory will be defined differently depending on the individuals involved. In this episode I sat down with Lindsay Dixon to chat about her personal journey with polyamory. Lindsay has been with her partner for over 11 years and they have been exploring polyamory for 6 years now. Lindsay and her partner have a son, and her metamour (the partner of one's partner, with whom one does not share a direct sexual or loving relationship), has been in her life for over six months now.In our conversation we journeyed through:what does polyamory mean to you?Lindsay's personal journey with polyamorythe biggest challenges she faced when she first transitioned into polyamorysociety's expectations around relationships / love and the effect that it has on usunpacking polyamory vocabulary how do you handle jealousy & can jealousy be viewed as a positive thing feminism & masculinity children and polyamory - the conversation she had with her son and sharing about their family dynamic Lindsay's advice to those who have children and are wanting to explore polyamorywhat happens if your partner is with someone that you do not like?what advice would you give to someone who wants to try polyamory or is just starting out on their polyamory journey?what piece of relationship advice would you give to individuals regardless of their relationship dynamic?what do you hope people take away from us having this conversation around polyamory?MENTIONED:The Curious One Episode 025: A Conversation About Masculinity // Andy Nguyen & Nuke Kombian (KingsOfHearts)Brene Brown (author)Creating An Affair Proof Marriage byThe Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman Find out your Love Languages HereHis Needs, Her Needs by Willard F.

As a person that works with bodies on a daily basis, this topic that frequents my mind, we're going to talk about CONSENT AND BOUNDARIES with my friend Sydney Jones. Sydney is a long time practitioner of yoga, a lifelong dancer, a healer and a Pro Dominatrix. Goddess Sydney is a natural born dominant, who has been a lifestyle BDSM Fetishist for the better part of 20 years, and a professional Domme for 7 of those years. In this episode we'll be discussing how her background as a holistic health professional, reiki practitioner and movement student shaped her pathway as a lifestyle and Professional Dominatrix. She believes that BDSM is in its nature highly spiritual and that her experiences in both yoga and BDSM can inform each other in the most natural and serendipitous ways. "I am a statuesque Cherokee and Sicilian Goddess, with exquisite features that deserve worship and admiration. With a sensual heart and a sadistic mind, I embody dominance, power, and grace as is only natural. A true cunning woman, I will overwhelm you, bringing you to your knees with as little as a glance. I've always been aware of My dominant and powerful energy, and learning the skills of Female Domination made Me a true master of tease and denial. Intrinsically a Temptress, I will captivate your every breath and reveal how deeply you crave to submit to My desires. The journey I take you on will change your perception and way of being, as you oscillate between the pain and pleasure I give to you. I live for Power Exchange, and enjoy watching your desperation as I endlessly taunt, humiliate, and deny you, exposing your carnal desires. Psychologically dominating, I will make a game of accessing the deepest recesses of your mind and place Myself inside, making it impossible for you to forget Me."

Somehow J.Mix got six months into this podcast without discussing this week's subject matter in detail. This week, J.Mix is joined by Dylan Trần to give a crash course into the beautiful monster that is Nonmonogamy. This episode is specifically catered to our TSAM friends who are curious about the lifestyle and want an organized layout into what it takes to successfully transition to multiple partnerships AND overcome the biggest monster that keeps most folks from dipping their toes into the nonmonogamy pool: JEALOUSY.J.Mix + Dylan also address all of the common nonmonogamy terms that get incorrectly defined such as polyamory + polygamy, and open relationship + monogamish.-Lastly, the two spread love on their personal experiences being nonmonogamous with their respective sexual partners in true, open, transparent, nonmonogamous dialogue that they hope inspires and alleviates the misconceptions and negative feats inhibited about the lifestyle by society. --Nonmonogamy Recommendations/Resources: 1) "The Ethical Slut" by Dossie Easton and Janet W.
