They also discuss the different types of non-monogamy, including polyamory, swinging, and relationship anarchy. In this conversation, Adelina Adler and Whitni discuss various aspects of ethical non-monogamy and polyamory. They explore topics such as relationship anarchy, jealousy vs. envy, the importance of informed consent, and the need to challenge societal norms and expectations. They emphasize the importance of communication, autonomy, and respect in non-monogamous relationships. Adelina also shares insights on recovering from heartbreak, managing time and scheduling, and the need for self-care and self-reflection. They encourage listeners to educate themselves, question societal constructs, and create their own relationship scripts.

For the sake of mutual safety, this episode is preceded by a content advisory regarding sexual trauma and minor-attracted persons. Please take care of yourself as you need, even if that means skipping this conversation. Your body belongs to YOU. I open with this power-stance of a statement because I didn't get that message as a child, adolescent, or young adult. In fact, I've only just begun to really grow into that knowledge as I heal from sexual trauma. Here's another a-ha! from this episode: healing takes time.  I'm grateful to folks like Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey for repeatedly reminding me of these essentials. She has been a champion of sizzling sex without shame for 35+ years, and her work destigmatizes fetishes, BDSM, and non-monogamy. Lori Beth's healing journey also provides encouragement for survivors of sexual trauma alongside a healthy dose of reality.

And if I once had an issue with porn does this mean I can never watch it again? The brilliant Gigi Engle answers all this and more.

Joining me to discuss today's juicy topic is DK Green, a Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Speaker, and Author. He primarily works with GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity), CNM, kink, tantra, consensual non-monogamy, and sex workers both in his therapy room and as an educator.  Our conversation revolves around  the nuances of taboo depending on cultural and religious conditioning, and what is considered taboo in western civilizations. We talk about consensual non-consent sex, breath play, and the fantasies around incest, bestiality, scat golden showers, feet fetish. We also explore the intimate relationship between taboo and fantasy, role play, and the pleasure and turn-ons performing a sex act considered taboo.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - The broad spectrum of what people consider taboo in sex - The psychological minefield we enter when we allow ourselves to play with taboo - The three big no's in sex and why for some people it is a turn-on to play with them - The crucial role of negotiation and communication when playing with taboo in consensual sexual relations - How playing with taboo can be part of a healing process - The aftercare for the receiving, and the active component in fantasies like rape play or domination  Leaving aside the three big no's of sex, the definition of taboo will be very different for a traditional married couple and for someone who is into kink. Still, the curiosity of playing with boundaries suggests a desire for exploration, and when we allow ourselves to explore, to move towards the new and unfamiliar, the closer we get to the juiciness of sex.  Resources: - DK Green's Website http://www.dkgreen.com - Learn more about DK Green's offers   https://linktr.ee/DKLeather - Connect with DK Green dkgreen1967@gmail.com  - Check out my FREE Training, Reclaiming Your Intuitive, Confident, and Sensual Self https://www.sexualalchemy.com/free-training - Book: Rebecca Lowrie - The Sexual Alchemy Journal for Men: 6 Weeks to Discovering and Embracing Your Full Sexual Self: https://www.sexualalchemy.com/shop/p/sexualalchemyjournalformen  - The Sexual Mastery Activation Cards for Men https://www.sexualalchemy.com/shop - Sign up for bi-weekly(ish) Love Letters straight to your inbox https://self-alchemy.activehosted.com/f/11 - Free resources: https://www.sexualalchemy.com/free-resources/ - My book "101 Meditations for Life, Business and Bedroom Success" https://www.amazon.com/Meditations-Life-Business-Bedroom-Success/dp/0993207626/ - My website https://www.sexualalchemy.com/ - Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/s_xualalchemy/ - Find me on Twitter https://twitter.com/rebeccalowrie/  - Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rebecca.lowrie1 - Find me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccalowrie/
