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.

When I became single at 33 years old, I approached dating very differently from how I had in the past and found that I met people who were more aligned with who I am at my core. In this episode, I share the top 3 things I've learned… from being clear when asking for what you want to making sure you are focused on what truly matters.

The ladies find something called the Human Sex Map of the World. It's a fantasy map that's a lighthearted look at the range of human sexual expression.This is created by Franklin Veaux - who is described as part mad scientist, part gonzo journalist.Mistress Olivia and Ms Erika talk about the interactive map: you put different colored pins in sexual activities that you have: tried and liked, tried and didn't like, want to try and think about in fantasy only. The ladies have a lot of fun exploring — crossing the Vanilla Sea and the Great Barrier Mountains to the Land of D/s where they find: chastity, orgasm denial, various kinds of submission and even human furniture. The Island of Uniform Fetishes catches Mistress Erika's attention. Ms Olivia gets distracted by kilts and thinking about cocks and balls swinging in the breezes when kilt wearers go commando.The Land of Competition gets the ladies talking about blow job races and wet tee shirt competitions. Should this be turned into a sissy competition with activities and even prizes? Maybe!There are so many fun areas to explore and talk about, this podcast just scratches the surface of this fun interactive map. You need to check it out!

Relationships!!!! They are hard, messy, complicated, and one of the most rewarding things you will ever do with your life. Join host Kris and her guest Westley on a journey through the topics and ideas put forth by the book ‘More Than Two' by Eve Rickert and Franklin Veaux. More Than Two is much more than a book about ethical non-monogamy. It expertly navigates some of the toughest and most nuanced topics surrounding relationships. It is a valuable read and point of discussion for any person hoping to successfully navigate romantic relationships. This episode is about understanding and accepting both yours and other's choices in relationship. It's about consciously choosing what is right for you, and having compassion for others that don't feel the same. It gets into how to cope with jealousy, how to communicate effectively, how to define commitment, how to define honesty, and so much more. Discover nuances to these terms that you never knew existed! Are you debating where you fall on the non-monogamous to monogamous spectrum? Listen in, we've got you. Some of the topics and questions discussed are as follows (in order): The Relationship Escalator: The fallacy of 'moving backwards' in a relationship or having a 'goal' or 'destination' in a relationship. Your relationship is a process. And no one has to follow any prescribed 'shoulds' in a relationship. (Aka you SHOULD buy a house, get married, have kids, etc.) Is polyamory the natural state of human connection? Your relationship is a garden to be tended, cared for, and grown. Not a building to construct and keep from falling down. Can there only be one true soulmate? Relationship math: 1+1=3. One complete person plus another complete person equals a relationship. Are rules in a relationship good or bad? What is true honesty? Westley's best advice for how to cope with jealousy, speaking from the perspective of a person in a polyamorous relationship. What do you want from your romantic life? Does it make a difference if your partner's other partner is the same gender as you? What is relationship anarchy? How do you make time for multiple relationships? Do you communicate directly or passively? Is marriage an outdated form of commitment? What does commitment mean to you? Relationship term reframe: Ask yourself, 'what do you offer a relationship?' As opposed to 'what do I want from a relationship?'

Are you on a relationship escalator? Are you on a steady upward trajectory of “relationship success”? Hitting one milestone after the next because that's what you've been told that a relationship “should” look like? Have you been told that if your relationship deviates from that path, that it isn't a success? That's okay! It's what we've all been told for a long time. But thankfully, there are other paths and relationship trajectories available to us. Join in as Kris talks about getting off of the relationship escalator and choosing what works best for YOU. Learn about how to stop looking for a checklist of attributes in a person, some useful mindset shifts about how to grow within a relationship, and how to be intentional about the relationships you nurture and keep. This episode is helped along by some of the topics and ideas found in the book ‘More Than Two' by Eve Rickert and Franklin Veaux.

Bonjour a tous, aujourd'hui dans notre rubrique Vivre Nous faisons escale dans les mutations de nos rapports sociaux entre parenthèses pour jeter un regard réaliste et honnête sur la société actuelle c'est-à-dire accepter les autres dans leur diversité avec leurs différences complexes... c'est aussi cela qu'on appelle le respect de l'autre en essayant de le comprendre sans chercher à le changer * comme c'est malheureusement le cas dans la plupart de nos interactions sociales je sais que certaines thématiques peuvent nous pousser à juger ou nous justifier..alors aujourd'hui je vais vous parler du Trouple...Le trouple : quand l'amour se conjugue à 3 Au fur et à mesure des années, les couples à trois ou les trouples se démocratisent. Ces histoires d'amour au pluriel reposent aussi bien sur la confiance que sur l'écoute et l'honnêteté. Comment se forment ces relations de polyamour ? Ménage à trois, triangle amoureux, trouple… le polyamour intrigue et semble avoir convaincu de nombreuses personnes. La célèbre Simone de Beauvoir et son mari Jean-Paul Sartre ont vécu chacun de leur côté des relations avec d'autres femmes et aux hommes. Leur seule exigence ? Ne pas se mentir ou dissimuler quoi que ce soit sur leurs histoires d'amour extra-conjugales.Trouple : à quoi correspond cette forme de polyamour ? Le trouple désigne une histoire d'amour triangulaire entre trois personnes. Chacun vit cette relation comme il le souhaite en vivant ou non avec les deux autres personnes dont il est amoureux. Dans notre société actuelle, les amours plurielles se développent de plus en plus, même si certaines idées reçues ont la vie dure.En plus du trouple, d'autres relations polyamoureuses à trois existent. Comme le vee décrit par l'écrivain Franklin Veaux sur son site More than two. Cette forme d'union désigne un individu qui vit une relation amoureuse avec deux autres personnes sans que ces dernières n'entretiennent aucun attachement amoureux ou sexuel entre elles. L'auteur désigne le partenaire principal de pivot.Quel est la différence entre polygamie et polyamour ? Pour bien comprendre le polyamour, il faut le différencier des pratiques polygames. Ces dernières sont interdites et punies par la loi en France. Une personne est considérée comme polygame lorsqu'elle contracte un ou plusieurs mariages sans avoir annulé le premier. Le mot polygamie regroupe donc deux autres termes : la polyandrie (une femme ayant plusieurs maris) et la polygynie (un homme ayant plusieurs épouses).Un concept totalement différent du polyamour qui correspond au "fait d'avoir simultanément des relations amoureuses étroites avec deux ou plusieurs autres personnes. Le polyamour est considéré comme une alternative à la monogamie, en particulier en ce qui concerne les questions de fidélité sexuelle. La personne s'engage dans des relations amoureuses multiples avec le consentement de tous les partenaires concernés" définit l'Oxford English Dictionary.Trouple : une tendance de plus en plus fréquente ? En 2016, une étude canadienne et américaine a notamment travaillé sur les triangles amoureux chez des jeunes âgés entre 18 et 24 ans. Publiée dans la revue Archives of Sexual Behavior, les chercheurs ont recruté près de 274 participants pour répondre à un questionnaire.Au cours des recherches, les scientifiques ont constaté un écart notable entre les hommes et les femmes. Selon eux, près de 24% des individus masculins interrogés ont déjà vécu une relation avec deux autres partenaires contre seulement 8% des femmes. Environ 82% des hommes ont également envisagé d'entretenir une relation avec deux conjoints. Une nouvelle fois, les participantes de l'étude ont été moins emballées que leurs homologues masculins. 31% d'entre elles ont déjà pensé débuter une histoire d'amour à trois."Par rapport aux femmes, les hommes ont été plus intéressés et susceptibles d'entamer une relation avec deux autres personnes. Ces résultats ont suggéré que les jeunes ne portent pas de jugement sur les polyamours, mais qu'ils ne sont pas forcément motivés à se lancer" ont complété les auteurs de l'étude.Trouple : comment faire fonctionner cette histoire à trois ? Sur le papier, une relation polyamoureuse possède de nombreuses qualités comme l'écoute entre les partenaires, la confiance et l'honnêteté, mais il faut arriver à les mettre en place dans la vie quotidienne pour que l'entente persiste entre tous les partenaires.Des concessions s'avèrent parfois nécessaires au sein du trouple pour que chacun trouve sa place et se fasse entendre. Sur sa plateforme, Franklin Veaux évoque son quotidien amoureux avec plusieurs partenaires. L'écrivain livre différents conseils pour vivre sainement cet amour pluriel. Selon lui, pour qu'une romance de polyamour fonctionne, mieux vaut laisser les choses se faire naturellement sans interférer en laissant chacun des concubins s'exprimer librement.Autre préconisation : ne pas garder des scores. Dans certains trouples, la jalousie peut rapidement reprendre le dessus, si vos deux conjoint(es) passent un peu plus de temps ensemble. Pour essayer d'arranger la situation, Franklin Veaux prône la relativisation : "Par moment, un de vos partenaires traverse une crise ou fait face à des problèmes et il a besoin de plus d'attention. Tant que ce soutien est le même pour tout le monde, il n'est pas question de noter des scores."Quand une dispute éclate entre vos deux partenaires, essayez de ne pas intervenir et surtout de ne pas choisir un côté auprès duquel vous allez vous ranger. "Cela ne veut pas dire que vous ne devez pas donner votre opinion, mais ce n'est pas la même chose que de prendre un parti. Quand vous offrez votre avis, faites attention à ne blesser personne" ajoute Franklin Veaux._______________________C'est tout pour le moment, Merci à tous. likez, Commentez, partagez et invitez vos amisvous pouvez ré écouter pour mieux comprendre les différents points parce c'est très utile au quotidien A la prochaine bye ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon---------------------------------------------------#face #instagram #amour #couple #garden #tiktok #thebeyou #Theendisnear. #foryou #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing #bhfyp

Abuse happens in all kinds of relationships, and non-monogamous people are no different. Claire from @polypages and I discuss: - The Duluth Model of the power and control wheel as applied to abusive polyamorous dynamics - Whether the book More Than Two by Eve Rickert and Franklin Veaux should still be recommended as a polyamory introductory text - Why toxic positivity culture is harmful and does a disservice to the polyamorous community - Why non-monogamous people are more susceptible to abusive dynamics due to the lack of societal support available and toxic behaviours being brushed under the carpet as "jealousy issues to work through" - How Claire arrived at solo polyamory as the best fit for her life and much more.

A con panel without the con, on the topic of erotic tentacles with Franklin Veaux and Eunice Hung, co-authors of the Passionate Pantheon novel series, and myself, author of the Monster Whisperer series..  

Have you ever wondered if it's possible to be married but still hookup, or even have relationships, with other people? Join your captain, Kaya, as she takes you through the vastly open sea of ethical non-monogamy.

La historia de Liliana nos lleva hasta Cuba, el país donde nació, creció y se hizo bailarina. Con apenas 10 años ya quería escapar y huir del infierno en el que se había convertido su propio hogar. La música y el baile le ayudaron a sobrellevar las sombras de una infancia dolorosa. Un día apareció un español en su vida y se convirtió en el puente que le ayudó a llegar hasta Barcelona, donde nació la nueva Lili que es hoy. Vive en "trieja", o sea, en una "pareja de tres". Se define como poliamorosa y es feliz con su actual estado: una relación consensuada, estable y ética con otras dos personas. Si queréis saber más sobre el poliamor os recomiendo el libro que leí antes de hablar con Liliana y que me ayudó a entender mejor este tema. Dicen que es "la biblia" del poliamor. "Opening up" de Tristan Taormino. También os recomiendo "Pensamiento monógamo, terror poliamoroso" de Brigitte Vasallo y "Más que dos: una guía para el poliamor ético", de Franklin Veaux y Eve Rickert.

After Sunny's, Siri's, and Kate's bios all had themes of emotional over giving, we decided to devote episode seven solely to unpacking what over giving is, why we do it, and how to heal. A long overdue spotlight is shone on how our patriarchal culture fiercely gas lights over givers, who are predominately women, and why. The over giver/over taker relationship dynamic in the U.S. is rampant in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships. The reasons for it are not just psychological, but most definitely cultural as well. And it's as American as guns and porn. Note: The term over-giver is used instead of co-dependent, because many people do not identify with everything that is associated with co-dependency. Overgiving can be defined as emotionally over-extending yourself and sacrificing your own boundaries to please the over-taker in your life. So please join us for another episode of Open Deeply as we dive into hearts and minds of over givers and culture that shapes them.

Understanding Polyamory An interview with Dana McNeil, LMFT, about polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. Curt and Katie talk with Dana about the basics that every therapist should understand about polyamory. We cover some of the vocabulary, the values and perspectives within the polyamory community, as well as the biases many therapists hold and what therapists often get wrong when working with polyamorous clients.   It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist.

What is polyamory? What's a sign that someone might be suited for polyamory? What are some common mistakes people make when exploring polyamory for the first time? Find out in this week's episode of The Learn to Love Podcast, where your host Zach Beach interviews the polyamorous writer and educator Franklin Veaux on Beyond Monogamy Learn more about your guest below: Franklin has been ideologically polyamorous his entire life, functionally polyamorous since 1984, and writing about polyamory since 1998. Monogamy has never made much sense to him. (When he heard a fairy tale about a princess forced to choose between two handsome princes, he thought “everyone knows princesses live in castles. And castles are big enough for both princes. So why does she have to choose?”) He started practicing non-monogamy from the moment he started becoming aware that boys and girls are different. Along the way, he's made just about every mistake it's possible to make in polyamorous relationships. Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgment. Today, he is married, has several partners, and lives in Portland, Oregon. He is a professional writer who writes fiction and nonfiction on everything from ethics to transhumanism to computer security. He is the author of The Game Changer: A Memoir of Disruptive Love, the coauthor of the nonfiction book More Than Two and the steampunk alternate history novel Black Iron, and has a new novel coming out in 2021 coauthored with Eunice Hung.

In chapter 18, Dossie and Janet are talking about a stereotypical if problematic entry point to non-monogamy. A person in a dyad (couple) has got involved with an outside lover, and this is the impetus for discussions about opening up your partnership to accommodate. Although neither of our hosts have come to polyamory this way, Claire and Sebastian take us through the quintessential moments of anger, discussion, guilt, and risk-taking that you might be experiencing as you begin to open up.

Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Episode 321 has Skyler giving his commentary on the following entries to r/shitstatistssay: ross-cross writes, "libertarianism is a childish far left utopia it doesn't include much from right besides guns"; Franklin Veaux writes, "Libertarianism can be summed up as 'I want to profit from group cooperative effort that benefits everyone, but don't you dare tell me that I should have to contribute to the cooperative effort from which I am making money!'"; steveandthesea writes, "There is literally no ethical way to become a billionaire"; EatTheBugsBigot writes, "Corporate censorship is worse than government censorship"; and Jshbone12 writes (and the_Blind_Samurai elaborates on), "Government is good."

How’s your mental wellness doing today? Have you been getting enough self care lately? I’ve been somewhat sick and am probably going to cough through this episode. Our conversation this episode will focus on mental wellness in relationships and how trauma can disrupt intimacy. Our guest, Chelsey Blair, is an already-published Social Work undergrad who identifies as an activist and who is currently doing some cutting edge work in pioneering accountability processes for alternative sex communities and their leaders and educators. She is currently an expert volunteer on the Franklin Veaux survivor support team. As a content warning this episode and on tangents separate from any allegations against Veaux, we may talk about intimate partner violence and murder. For now, let’s talk about better mental health. How have you come to see your relationship to mental wellness? How do you see society’s relationship to mental wellness? What strategies do you use to cope with trauma in your relationship with yourself? How do you talk about trauma with or coach partners in being better support humans to change how trauma impacts your relationships? Do you have any advice for folks who might be experiencing the effects of recent or distant trauma impacting their relationship with themselves or others? Do you have any advice for folks supporting their partners through coping with trauma? Resources https://victorsalmon.com/impact-statements

Samantha Manewitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and educator, and AASECT certified social worker currently based in Massachusetts. Rachel and Samantha discuss harm reduction and the processes of restorative and transformative justice. Optimistically, survivors forming the pods believe that change is possible for their perpetrators. She elaborates on the transformative justice 'pods' that were created by survivors of the Franklin Veaux scandal as well as how they operate. Diving into the systems that are responsible for enforcing justice, the conversation comes to include Scientology's justice systems and use of gaslighting. Hear more about Franklin Veaux from Eve Rickert's two part episode: https://soundcloud.com/indoctrinationshow/eve-pt-2 (Part 2) Learn more about Samantha's site, "Safety Beyond Safewords" here: https://www.beyondsafewords.com/ Stay tuned, Before You Go: "Do as I Say, Not as I Do" as a catchphrase among narcissists. Rachel calls out institutional betrayal of survivors and the effect of neglecting to create consequences for abuse.

First up, some updates from the survivor pod around Franklin Veaux and hearing from more of the women. Definitely check out polyamory-metoo.com and Aida Manduley's twitter thread for some good stuff. You can also check out the Reddit thread with the comments I read here. Centering the stories and experiences of the women Franklin harmed is the most important thing, so if you do check out the updates from Franklin's folks, just remember that so far none of their updates have been from folks who understand trauma-informed work or alternative justice processes. They're actually quite harmful. Patreon supporters, this week I'm watching the new Vex Ashley and Four Chambered Heart erotic film and narrating what I see. It's fun and silly and by request. If you don't yet support the show, every $1 means so much. If you support at $3 per month and above, you get access to weekly exclusive content (and there's a huge backlog at this point!). Suppor at $5 per month and above and help me field listener questions. Details and bonuses are at patreon.com/sgrpodcast. If you want to check out the article on incels and plastic surgery, I mentioned. You can check that out on The Cut. Now on to your questions! Alyssa wrote in because her fiancé won't talk during sex, but Alyssa thinks talking during sex would be super hot. How can she encourage him to talk more? Talking during sex can be super hot and super fun, and it can also make pleasure really difficult for some folks. Let's explore that dance of needs together. Fabulously Fem emailed me asking to hear more about cross dressing on the show and if I think dolls are ethical. I promise to have a crossdressing expert join us soon, but in the meantime you might want to check out Kink Academy's awesome videos on crossdressing for those who are interested.

About Host Dawn Serra: What if everything you’ve been taught about relationships, about your body, about sex is wrong? My name is Dawn Serra and I dare to ask scary questions that might lead us all towards a deeper, more connected experience of our lives. In addition to being the host of the weekly podcast, Sex Gets Real, the creator of the online conference Explore More, I also work one-on-one with clients who are feeling stuck, confused, or disappointed with the ways they experience desire, love, and confidence. It’s not all work, though. In my spare time, you can find me adventuring with my husband, cuddling my cats as I read a YA novel, or obsessing over MasterChef Australia.

Eve Rickert identified as polyamorous for 14 years, meaning she had multiple romantic partners simultaneously, with everyone's consent. When she became involved with Franklin Veaux, a well-known polyamorous writer whose sprawling website had become a touchstone for many polyamorous people; the two worked together for many years, helping him publish several books based on his past polyamorous relationships. Over time, she began to suffer from the very brand of "ethical" polyamory they were promoting-- and started to see signs that Veaux, and his history, were not what she'd been led to believe. She and five other women came forward within a transformative justice framework, committed to telling their stories while also offering Franklin an opportunity to listen and learn from the ways he'd affected the women in his life. Since then, about six more women have come forward. Stay tuned, Before You Go: Rachel explains the show's new direction, and how the IndoctriNation podcast aims to explore manipulation tactics through a variety of social realms.

In a Sex Gets Real first, this episode is Part One of a THREE part series featuring Eve Rickert, Samantha Manewitz, and Aida Manduley. This episode is my conversation with Eve Rickert. In it, Eve shares her experience of being in a relationship with Franklin Veaux for five and a half years. She talks about what it was like in the beginning and what happened over the course of time. A part of she shares reveals what it's like to be on the receiving end of gaslighting and emotional abuse: the questioning of self, the isolation, thinking that you're actually crazy. Eve shares about how difficult it was to begin untangling herself from the confusion of it all and what happened when she started speaking with other women Franklin had been in relationship with. We explore and question who gets to tell the stories, who gets to have the redemption arc, and how we (collectively) are so terrible at asking about the people who were a part of that person's redemption, how we ignore or invisibilize their voices and experiences. We also talk about how being someone who caused harm doesn't make you a bad person or a disposable person, and being a survivor of harm doesn't mean you didn't also cause harm. We desperately need more nuanced and messy understandings of relationship dynamics and behaviors, to move away from the good vs evil, pure vs villain narratives that force us into black-and-white categories. This also contributes to victim blaming and the "good survivor" story that so many survivors feel boxed in by. Eve also speaks about being witnessed at Southwest Poly Love Fest and how important that was for her, but how it also made her question why she got to be witnessed in that way and some of the other people impacted by abuse don't get that gift. In the end, this conversation is really about examining problematic behaviors and the harm they can cause, engaging in accountability processes that are outside of our criminal "justice" system, and what we need to start asking ourselves about how we're doing relationship.

This episode opens with a quick update to our Episode 21, following updates released by the survivor pod calling out Franklin Veaux (relevant links below). We then move into discussing how defining what we consider knowledge in the context of relationships helps create a shared dialogue and avoid common pitfalls of relationships. We hope you enjoy.

EPISODE 100: Interview with Franklin Veaux. As a child, Franklin heard a fairy tale about a princess forced to choose between two handsome princes, and thought, “Everyone knows princesses live in castles. And castles are big enough for both princes. So why does she have to choose?” Franklin has been writing about polyamory since 1997. He started his website as a resource for his former self: the Franklin who didn’t know that there were other people like him, had never heard the word polyamory, and who had no idea how to navigate polyamorous relationships. The site has grown over the years, and since 1999 has been one of the Internet’s top destinations for information about polyamory. He speaks and writes about polyamory, BDSM, nontraditional sexuality, and more. In 2011, he moved the site from its old home at xeromag.com to its current home at morethantwo.com. In 2014 he co-authored a book on polyamory by the same name: More Than Two: A practical guide to polyamory. He currently has several long-term partners and lives in Portland, Oregon with one of his partners, while his wife lives in Orlando, Florida.

Franklin has been ideologically kinky and polyamorous his entire life, functionally kinky and polyamorous since 1984, and writing about BDSM and polyamory since 1996. He started practicing non-monogamy from the moment he started becoming aware that boys and girls are different. Along the way, he's made just about every mistake it’s possible to make in polyamorous relationships. Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgment. http://www.kinkycast.com/archive/2018-archive/217---franklin-veaux-more.html]

There is a sort of order from chaos that happens when like minded people discover others like themselves. Individuals become clusters, clusters become groups, and with groups come unavoidable growing pains, issues, conflict, and struggle. Still, there's a certain magic that comes from having a group of diverse and motivated people with a common role come together to build something, because when you get it right, you end up with a community. Community role models are essential and tonight, Kevin Patterson joinsCooper, Dylan, Dirty Lola, and Mike Joseph to discuss poly role models and the joys and struggles involved with building sex positive community.   You can support us while you buy great sex toys and products from our favorite online retailer SheVibe at lifeontheswingset.com/shevibe.

How do I politely reject a person I want to be with?It's not that I'm playing hard to get. It's just that I'm working on myself and I don't have much to offer as a person. I know it would be selfish to ask them to wait for me, but at the same time that's what I want. What should I do?Franklin Veaux, author of the relationship book More Than Two.Written Jan 26It's not that I'm playing hard to get. It's just that I'm working on myself and I don't have much to offer as a person. I know it would be selfish to ask them to wait for me, but at the same time that's what I want. What should I do?You should understand that you don't work on yourself in a vacuum, and the idea that you don't have anything to offer is just good old-fashioned low self-esteem theater.I would recommend that you start working on yourself by working on your self-esteem. You do that by doing things that frighten you. Like asking them out.

Have you ever wondered what open relationships are like? Interested in how polyamory works, or what makes it different from swinging? Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert are here to talk about non-monogamy! Franklin has been non-monogamous for his entire life, starting when he took two girls to his high school senior prom. Eve has been polyamorous since 2004. Together, theyre the authors of the polyamory how-to book More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory, where they talk about how to make compassionate, committed non-monogamous relationships work (and even offer advice for all kinds of relationships!) Today they will share their advice for couples looking to open up their relationships, and we will discuss how to deal with relational jealousy and why it is important to treat people as people, rather than things. We will also discuss the different types of polyamorous relationships and the 'poly' subculture! If you are monogamous, curious, experimenting or poly, this show will have something that everyone can learn about relationships.

To kick off Season 3, we are joined by Franklin Veaux, author of More Than Two and The Game Changer who joined us here on Poly In The Cities to help us unpack the complexities of the Mono/Poly relationship dynamic.  We also discussed the Relationship Bill of Rights as well as other very important details of […]
