Hoje é dia de episódio sobre um tema muito pedido! Depois de literalmente anos pensando na melhor forma de abordar a não monogamia no podcast (um tema que sempre esteve presente em todo o conteúdo, mas que nunca recebeu episódio exclusivo), a Ada decidiu começar do zero, como já fizemos com o BDSM, e gravar um episódio com definições, termos e questões iniciais. Assim, a gente tem uma base pra futuros episódios com convidades e para aprofundar diversos desses pontos e reflexões. Ela fala sobre o que é e o que não é não monogamia, diferentes vertentes e formas de enxergar a questão, termos e problematizações, erros comuns de quem tá começando, pontos positivos, sugestão de materiais e fontes e muito mais. Esperamos que vocês gostem e, que apesar de não ter muita novidade para quem já está familiarizado com a não monogamia, seja um episódio útil para quem ainda está entrando em contato e se entendendo nesse mundo.   É claro que não deu pra falar de tudo que a Ada gostaria em menos de 2 horas de conteúdo e que foi necessário fazer escolhas e abordar algumas questões de forma menos aprofundada, mas você está mais que convidade a deixar seu feedback, sugestão ou pergunta para um próximo episódio (dessa vez com convidades!) nos comentários do Spotify, do YouTube ou da vitrine do Insta!

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.

Please join us for episode 49 of Open Deeply with the legendary, Janet Hardy. Janet is most known for the Ethical Slut, but she is a prolific writer of over a dozen groundbreaking books. In this episode, she reads from her soon to be published book, Notes of an Aging Pervert. This novel is SO kind, vulnerable and honest regarding the uncomfortable subjects of aging and facing mortality. We're all going to die, but we remain avoidant of the subject. Janet holds our hand and makes thinking about this topic way easier. Here is one excerpt from the book, ““I've come to think of my lifetime as a relatively brief vacation, and my body as resortwear — perhaps a nice sundress, or a pair of comfy shorts. Like all vacations, this one will feel like it's over much too soon.” She also discusses family, love, relationships, and of course, k1nk including several kinky memories. One of the most captivating parts of the book is when she tells the story of being present for her father's “good death” which is mystical, awe inspiring and beautiful. In addition, the paperback is filled with Janet's original raw and lovable artwork of herself and loved ones. In this interview Janet discusses the vulnerability of including nude drawings of herself and why she decided to include them. The book has a certain comfy and comforting quality to it, despite the scary topics, that makes one want to grab a blanket and some hot cocoa and curl up while reading it. It's a love gift. It's a book that helped me sit in reverence for this iconic human that has blazed a trail for so many, including me, so that in turn, our own path might not be so hard. We hope you join us for this captivating episode as we discuss this amazing book. Janet's bio: Janet W. Hardy is the author or coauthor of more than a dozen groundbreaking books about relationships and sexuality, including The Ethical Slut, which has sold more than 300,000 copies to date. She spent the first three decades of her life believing that she was the only person in the world who got turned on by thinking about spanking. She wrote her first book, The Sexually Dominant Woman, to help create a world in which nobody else would ever be that clueless. Janet has traveled the world as a speaker and teacher on topics ranging from ethical multipartner relationships to erotic spanking and beyond. She has appeared in documentary films, television shows, and more podcasts and radio shows than she can count. She has narrated audio versions of many of her books, and looks forward to doing more. Janet spent a quarter century as editor-in-chief of Greenery Press, the firm she founded in 1992, which went on to publish dozens of books about alternative sexuality and relationships.

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.

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.

Even if you don't recognize the advice columnist Dan Savage by name, it's possible that his ideas have influenced how you think about sex and relationships. For decades now, Savage has been arguing that our expectations for long-term partnerships are way too high; that healthy relationships are about acknowledging our vast spectrum of desires, not repressing them; and that monogamy is not the ideal setup for every partnership. Through over 30 years of writing “Savage Love,” one of the most widely read sex advice columns in the country, and more than 17 years of hosting the podcast “Savage Lovecast,” he has been one of America's most subtly influential public intellectuals on the topic of how humans conduct our most intimate — and important — relationships.In the past half-century or so, America's culture around sex, dating and relationships has undergone a profound transformation. Women are no longer confined to roles as wives and mothers, same-sex marriage is legal, hookup culture has changed the way young people enter the dating world, and there has been a growing interest in less traditional approaches to relationships, like polyamory and ethical nonmonogamy. These transformations have ushered in a lot of new freedoms but also a lot of new anxieties and frustrations. So I wanted to bring Savage on the show to talk through how we navigate this complicated, messy moment in our relational and sexual lives.We discuss how America's relationship culture has changed in the past 30 years, why the myth of finding “the one” can be so damaging, what dating apps are (and aren't) good for, how to give more grace to our partners when they do not meet our expectations, why so many feminist writers are re-evaluating the legacy of the sexual revolution, how gay sexual cultures have influenced straight dating life, why we've had a “sexual revolution” but not a concomitant “relationship revolution,” what Savage makes of the statistic that 18 percent of people have had sexual experiences outside their primary relationships without their partners' consent, the advantages and risks of experimenting with nonmonogamy, what better sex education for young people should look like, why marriages between two men seem to end less frequently than heterosexual marriages do and more.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:YouGov poll on Monogamy and Polyamory“Can We Change Our Sexual Desires?

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.

When it comes to the philosophy of non-monogamy, there can be a lot of questions: Is it polyamory or an open relationship? Do we have to tell each other about other partners? Is it a relationship or just sex? Today's episode is all about intimacy and non-monogamy and how people connect and relate to each other in that world, with lots of nuggets that apply to ALL relationships, whether monogamous or not. In today's episode, I'm breaking this all down with Marcia Baczynski (aka Marcia B.)  Do you geek out on consent, communication, intimacy, how we relate to each other and connect, and why we engage in romantic and sexual relationships in the first place? You're not going to want to miss this episode! In episode 403 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (5:48) The difference between non-monogamy and polyamory (10:28) Important and relevant things to communicate with your partner(s), particularly when you're in a non-monogamous relationship (and why the complexity of communication grows exponentially—not linearly—in non-monogamous relationships) (12:50) Ethical non-monogamy vs consensual non-monogamy: what's the difference and do they mean the same thing? (And Marcia's preferred term here) How do you determine if one non-monogamous relationship is ethical or not? (32:17) Our best tips for living the lifestyle that works the best for YOU (and one really important thing to keep in mind when navigating non-monogamy) (44:08) TWO things that are so important to pay attention to when it comes to your relationships and what to hone in on so that you can get your desires met more often Slide into my DMs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethdialto/  Or slide into Marcia's DMs on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/askmarciab/) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/askmarciab) Links: Episode 399: My Sacred Slut Summer Buy Marcia's book, Creating Consent Culture: A Handbook for Educators Learn more about Cuddle Parties Download Marcia's free Field Guide to Consent Learn more about Marcia and her work at her website: https://askingforwhatyouwant.com/  Take her upcoming course, Not Needy (starting October 26, 2022) Come join me for my October workshop!

Rosa wünscht dir ganz viel Spaß bei der Fortsetzung von Folge #11. Über meinen Interviewgast: Katja ist (43) Online-Redakteurin, sie lebt polyamor, ist bi- und demisexuell und sie lebt seit 2015 in einer offenen Beziehung. Katja und ich sprechen darüber... Wie geht dein/euer Umfeld mit Polyamorie um? Wird es toleriert und wie war dein Coming Out? Denkst du das weniger Ehen geschieden oder Beziehungen auseinander gehen würden und weniger Menschen fremgehen würden, wenn mehr Frauen und Männer offen oder poly leben würden? Wenn du mehrere Beziehungen hast, wie funktioniert die Organisation der Zeitfaktor, damit niemand zu kurz kommt? Katja erzählt ganz zum Schluss: "Was rätst du Frauen & Männern die gerne polyamor oder in einer offenen Beziehung leben möchten? Wo finde ich Gleichgesinnte? Kontakt mit Katja: Du möchtest mehr über Polyamorie und/oder offene Beziehung wissen? Dann schreib mir (E-Mail, PN auf Social Media) und ich leite sehr gerne den Kontakt an Katja weiter.

Welcome to The Philosophy of Sex, long-play. This week, we're speaking with Janet Hardy from the sixth episode of season 1 ‘Hardcore tenderness. Reinterpreting what we think about kink and BDSM.' Janet W. Hardy is the author or co-author of thirteen books about alternative sexuality, including the groundbreaking bestseller The Ethical Slut. She is also the Founder of the Greenery Press, a publishing house based in California, specialises in books on BDSM and polyamory, with over 50 titles in print.Janet is an experienced BDSM practitioner and she's been educating people from across the globe on how to engage in BDSM and polyamory for over 20 years. Much of Janet's work has contributed hugely to establishing a gold standard in behaviour within BDSM and polyamorous communities. And while her work focuses on BDSM and kink, I believe her advice is applicable to anyone who wants to have fulfilling sexual relationships. In this episode, Janet and I discuss identifying kinks, ways to explore them and how to communicate these to a partner. We also unpack what society often misunderstands about kink and its hidden powers. Janet is a wealth of knowledge and speaks with the level of frankness essential for great sexual communication. I can't recommend Janet, and her co-author Doisse Easton's work more. Please enjoy our full interview. You can read more about Janet and her work here: http://www.dossieeaston.com/books.htmlhttps://slutandsons.com/Connect with us:@becuming.meBecuming takes the frustration out of finding the perfect sex toy by sending you personalised recommendations.

Era uma vez uma vez o casal perfeito: feitos um para o outro, verdadeiras almas gêmeas. Até que um belo dia eles encontraram outra alma-gêmea. A não-monogamia é um universo pouco falado e debatido na nossa sociedade, e talvez esse seja um dos motivos do porquê os poliamoristas ainda enfrentam muito preconceito. É por isso que o casal poliamoroso Liu e Ton toparam conversar comigo nesse episódio. Vamos entender mais sobre esse estilo de relacionamento? Vem de play!

We will talk about what love is: from drawing an understanding of self love, to questioning the ways we treat romantic and platonic relationships, and looking at models of love that do not conform to heteronormative frameworks like polyamory and open relationships.

We’ll also dig into the different types of swaps, our relationship origin story, and some pitfalls and highlights of our journey so far.

#8 - Part 2 continuation of our last discussion about some myths (and realities) from one of our favorite books in our relationship library - "The Ethical Slut" by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton. Do any these sound familiar to you? Myth #4 - Loving someone makes it ok to control their behavior. Myth #5 - Jealousy is inevitable and impossible to overcome. Myth #6 - Outside marriage reduces intimacy in the primary relationship. Let's talk about (and shatter!) them.

#7 - Let's discuss some myths (and realities) from one of our favorite books in our relationship library - "The Ethical Slut" by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton. Do any these sound familiar to you? Myth #1 - Long term monogamous relationships are the only relationships. Myth #2 - Romantic love is the only real love. Myth #3 - Sexual desire is a destructive force. Let's talk about (and shatter!) them.

In dieser Folge erzählt Melina davon, wie sie gemerkt hat, dass sie nicht-monogam leben möchte. Außerdem spricht sie darüber, wie es ist, Sex nicht nur zu zweit, sondern mit mehreren Menschen und mit Freund*innen zu haben. Buchempfehlungen aus der Folge: - "Schlampen mit Moral: Eine praktische Anleitung für Polyamorie, offene Beziehungen und andere Abenteuer"von Dossie Easton und Janet W. Hardy - "Treue ist auch keine Lösung – Ein Plädoyer für mehr Freiheit in der Liebe" von Lisa Fischbach und Holger Lendt - "Die andere Beziehung: Polyamorie und Philosophische Praxis" von Imre Hofmann und Dominique Zimmermann - "Wie wir lieben" von Friedemann Karig - "In manchen Nächten hab ich einen anderen: Mein sinnliches Leben in einer offenen Beziehung" von Anna Zimt.

Nesse episódio vamos abordar um pouquinho das possibilidades de vivências não-monogàmicas. Dicas de livros: •Novas Formas de Amar - Regina Navarro Lins; •Ética do Amor Livre - Janet W.

More minimizing. For real this time. Why? I am living the scenario, "if you had to hand wash clothing and linens, would you have as much or would you let go of some stuff?" I am in the "let go" camp for this one. Also, it's interesting that washing machines have prop 65 warnings and even more interesting when you DM or email companies asking about what is it that might cause cancer or other reproductive harm, they tell you to refer to the prop 65 website. It isn't the most useful website. https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/products-places Why can't they just tell us what the chemical is and what kind of exposure to said chemical 'could cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.' A washing machine did not fall into any of those categories. Anyway, as this is likely the last audiodiary entry of 2019, I wanted to list recommended books/audiobooks and podcasts that I enjoyed and/or played/read more than three times. I am currently listening to Tony Robbins' Money: Master The Game. I def have to listen a few times to have it really sink in, but it makes the topics of money and retirement more approachable and less intimidating. Also, Molly Burke's It's Not What It Looks Like. A differently abled young woman living in a ableist world. If you thought you had a good grasp on accessibility it might open your mind to challenges you may not have even thought of. She is funny, bright, and real. I love when authors narrate their books. I bought both the audio and digital copy of The Try Guys' The Hidden Power Of Fucking Up. It was on heavy rotation for a while. Digital copy has cute photos of the guys. The Minimalists' Essential. I am probably not correctly citing these books. (One of the Minimalists, Joshua Fields Millburn, offers writing workshops to help folks find their writing style, but I think about citing now that I am writing recommendations on books and podcasts). The Minimalists, Paula Pant's Afford Anything, NPR's Wait Don't Tell Me, NPR's It's Been A Minute, The Artist Athlete, and Hideaway Circus are podcasts I always enjoy.

MMMS Podcast Ep #9: Erotic Intelligence & The Mystery of Sex - with Christi Anne Bela Find on iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud & YouTube “Movement Medicine Mystery School Podcast” Christi Anne is a Sex Educator, Kundalini Yoga Instructor, Chaplin and so much more. She works her mysterious magic to create safe spaces for her clients and students to open up and talk about their desires, wants and even explore their true “No’s”. Today I invited her in to help us understand how she helps her students develop a consciousness around their sex life - i.e. Erotic Intelligence. With this being another HUGE and DEEP topic, we are breaking this podcast up into two. In Part 1 we will hear Christi Anne discuss: * Steps towards building your EQ - Erotic Intelligence * We we can find healthy role models of women and men who own their sexuality in a healthy way * How to declutter the deed to our sexuality * Demystifying women’s sexual appetites and the fluidity of sexual desire * Comfort of the societal Default vs. doing the inner work with self and partners * The BIGGER picture: Sexual Alchemy with the subtle body energies * Get playful with your Sexual Energy!!! * Tips for working with your Erotic Intelligence - making this God Source Powerful energy within feel safe for you Think of this as you listen: Emotions are energy in motion and they are POWERFUL. Yet in our culture, we aren’t taught to move with these waves of emotions allowing them to be just that - waves of energy in motion. Instead we end up clinching and holding them in the place of origin - where they get stuck, building until they feel overwhelming and dangerous. Perhaps no other energy has been as shamed as that from our sacral, i.e. sexual area of our body. What Christi Anne - and I - are here for is to help you learn how to MOVE this energy so it does feel safe, lovely, and within your control to help you connect to Spirit, God and all of Life. * Resources mentioned in Part 1 & 2 * “Ethical Slut” by Janet W.

  Janet W. Hardy, author of the Ethical Slut and Radical Ecstasy; S/M Journeys to Transcendence, joins Sacred Courtesan & Tantric BDSM Priestess Francesca Gentille with sex educator Monika and Comedian Paul Brumbaugh for further exploration of funlightenment, meditating on the sensations of erotic exchange. How do you make hooking up at a kinky play party safe & healing? Even if that does not sound like your scene, how would knowing how to make edge play safe improve your sex life? Francesca & Janet take us on a deep dive into the mind states that can be achieved through conscious BDSM play. We discuss how the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza (quantum field healing), and Dr. Peter Levine (trauma & somatic experiences). In retrospect, this mind state beyond time/space and a sense of self reminds Monika of a TED Talk about neurologist Dr Jill Bolte Taylor who had a stroke and as parts of her brain shut down, she describes an experience of a right-brain *only* mind state beyond time/space and "self" or ego.  This Sexploration with Monika episode is warming us up for SexplorationDinner.com "Confession: A 5-Course Sensual Feast - Beauty, Bondage & Transcendence" in a gorgeous stone cathedral in SF's North Beach November 23rd. Let's Make sex sacred again, because sex is proof that God loves us and wants us to have fun!

Two years ago, there is no way I would have guessed I was going to host a podcast on these subjects...so how did I get here? My husband and I have been married 15 years, have twin 4 year olds, and finally feel like we are living life beyond default. I started dating Kyle about a year and a half ago. Everything was open and consensual, although none of us knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into. Since then, we've started to let go of the old paradigms of life that no longer serve us, and are now living a life definitely on the edge of social norms. Listen to the episode to learn more about the journey into the world of polyamory, and just love in general. Our friend describes the podcast as a "Love University" and we like that idea:) Books Referenced in the podcast: - More Than Two by Franklin Veaux - The Ethical Slut by Janet W.

Have you ever heard of polyamory? It's a term that's gaining prominence in today's lexicon, but what is it? My guest Marcel Wilson and I discuss some of the nuances of this relationship structure, because for some it's anything but structured, other's it's highly regimented.

Janet W. Hardy is the author of the famous book, “The Ethical Slut,” which talks about the question of honesty in sexual relationships. The issue of honesty for Janet in sexual relationships hangs on whether partners are dealing with each other on a consensual basis – is a lover of yours or you having side affairs without their knowledge. Without their knowledge Janet contends this is a non-consensual, dishonest, and ultimately unethical way to treat your partner. The Citizen and Mistress Lydia listen to Janet on this and other topics – like business, writing, publishing, and politics. Don’t miss this great show as The Citizen has to contend with the lies and tales he might have told.   “I Am Citizen Abels” (http://www.iamcitizenabels.com) is an internet radio show starring David Abels, and a copyrighted production of Four Strong Media LLC.

It's rare for an artist to remake a work from their early career. With Spike Lee's remake of She's Gotta Have It, we're looking at the differences between the film (1986) and the web-series (2017) with a big helping hand from our guest Samantha from Rocket Punch Radio. With art, music, sexuality, and civil unrest on the table, we also found time (in this long episode) to talk about the Spin Doctors, Celtics fans, and eminent domain.

She lives in Northern California, and loves art, shoes, tattoos, her Boston Terrier puppy, chocolate, and reading and writing smutty books, of course, not necessarily in that order.Visit her online:Website: www.EdenBradley.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/EdenBradleyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorEdenBradley.EveBerlinDirty Minds Social Club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1110214502406798/Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/edenandeve/Amazon Author Page: http://www.amazon.com/Eden-Bradley/e/B001IQUL8G/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1Eden’s NEWSLETTER SIGNUP: http://tinyurl.com/ncklmhzFor more articles and podcasts like this, as well as romance book reviews, visit http://InfatuatedPodcast.com!

These days, I don’t think that you can have a conversation about conscious relationship without talking about polyamory. For me, it usually comes up in a couple different contexts - first, it can simply be when I’m talking with someone who is already actively exploring polyamory and wondering how to do it better, or is single and pondering whether polyamory might be right for them. And then there are couples who are currently monogamous who are thinking about the possibility of opening up their relationship to other partners - for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes that can work, and other times...not so much. There’s also the experience of jealousy - that almost always comes up in conversations about polyamory - although it’s relevant for everyone no matter what your relationship status. How do you know if polyamory is right for you? How do you know if your currently monogamous relationship could benefit from opening things up, or if it’s a bad idea? And how do you handle jealousy in your life - no matter what your circumstances? On today’s episode, we’re talking with Janet W. Hardy, co-author with Dossie Easton of the Book “The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Adventures”. Janet is one of the world’s leading experts on the topic of how to have a healthy experience with polyamory, and she’s on the show to tackle the questions we just raised - and more. It’s going to be quite a wide-ranging conversation that, I hope, will offer something useful for you no matter how you’re thinking about polyamory, or the effects of jealousy, in your own life. Polyamory is self-defined. Polyamory is everything and anything from a long-term multi-year relationship with more than one person to a circle of sexual friends, to a committed couple who brings another into their bedroom from time to time. The terminology is not nearly as important as if it is working or not. What makes for a successful poly relationship? What makes poly work, is really similar to what makes any relationship work. This includes being respectful of each other’s boundaries but willing to try things that are a little challenging, sharing responsibility and taking care of life’s commitments, and making sure that that everyone’s needs are being met. Polyamory does however, often require more time and the ability to manage complex schedules! Not to mention, incredibly honed self-awareness and communication skills. Many people go in and out of monogamy as life circumstances change. Getting your PhD and raising 2 children? Might not be the time to start exploring multiple partners! Worthwhile discussions: Whether or not you consider yourself monogamous or poly, there are some very important conversations that help set expectations and create mutual understanding. Get curious and vulnerable in your questions- what is within the agreement and what is not? Porn. Masturbation. Flirting. Sexting. All of these things must be discussed together with your partner(s) and clear agreements must be made.   Remember that knowing your boundaries is YOUR responsibility- not anyone else’s. This is where self-awareness is critical! We cannot negotiate for agreements if we do not know what our needs are! Is becoming poly ever the answer to relationship problems? Rarely. Becoming poly is a choice, not a prescription or a solution. Only in the case that there is a healthy, happy and sustained couple in which one person wants a different kind of sex (more kink, rougher, gender switch, etc)- then maybe. Unless a couple has very developed communication skills and a willingness to try things that may feel challenging, than this is not the time. Jealousy has nothing to do with the other- it has to do with ME. People in poly situations have learned this over and over. They have chosen to make a commitment (and to recommit) to learning how to survive jealousy. There are skills and perspectives that help deal with the hurt without it growing out of proportion or becoming a limiting factor in connection. We have a cultural tendency and belief that jealousy is the most terrible of emotions- and further, that it entitles us to act out in horrible ways. But what if we can learn to see jealousy as a gift? It is like a neon blinking arrow that brightly highlights the things that we do not like about ourselves. And when we can see this we can take care of it! Because, in essence, jealousy is simply a sense of feeling bad that is projected onto another. When you have survived a jealousy storm - you learn that it gets easier! When we have surges of intense emotion we have the tendency to create stories. Challenge yourself to get curious. What if this is just energy that I am experiencing? What if this isn’t what I think it is? Over time you will develop a set of skills and muscles that will help you take care of yourself as you navigate through jealousy. When we let go of the idea that it is anybody’s job but our own to get through jealousy then we gain a clearer idea of what we can do to soothe ourselves. Requests to restore safety and connection: Self-care during jealousy storms do not necessarily have to be a solo experience. Advocate for your needs by asking your partner to show care and safety through actions- calling, cuddling, special dates, gifts, etc. These requests, when they come from a self-aware partner and not too overly dependent place, are critical in restoring safety for the person who is feeling angry/sad/scared. Furthermore, take a close look at the jealousy. Often times there is underlying grief for the loss of imagined partnership and future. Me, and the things I don’t like about myself. Sometimes jealousy manifests in racing looping thoughts. At this point, get out a sketchpad or a journal and write or express all of your thoughts on the issue. When we bring underlying fears, worries, and concerns to consciousness we are more able to see them for what they are- we see that most of our pain is not what others are doing to us, but rather our insecurities manifesting. Remember humor, and remember self-compassion. We all make compromises to be in relationship. The surest way you can tell that you don’t have an agreement is when one partner does not agree to it anymore! If one partner is consistently violating an agreement, then it needs to be reevaluated. If an agreement cannot be reached than the partner who feels that their agreement was violated has to learn to either 1) live with the reality that the agreement is going to get breached, or 2) decide that they cannot live with it and move towards a respectful end to the relationship. Embracing conflict: Arguments do not necessarily have to be places of disconnection. And they do not have to be inflamed. In fact, arguments are incredibly powerful conversations that help clarify various perspectives. Learning to argue without inflammation is a skill and an art worth practicing with your partner(s). Get creative! Schedule your ‘fights’. Set aside 20 minutes that are dedicated to a specific conflict. Doing so can allow for the reactive emotions to settle before diving in, and allows for safer and more patient fighting that increases the spaciousness necessary to evolve how you think as a couple. Do not, however, forget to use a timer! Give person A 3 minutes to make their point, then give 1 minute for silent reflection, and then 3 minutes for person B. Have an agreed upon ending- we all know that the desire to have the last word in arguments makes them more raw, dangerous, and divisive. TIP: Together create a place in the house for open dialogue! Or a specific piece of clothing that you don for times you want to communicate to your partner “Hey babe! I’d love to talk now- can you join me for this conversation?” A specific couch, a a candle you light, or an old t-shirt. SAFE word: As is common in the BDSM community- it is incredibly helpful to have a shared key word that either partner can use when they sense there needs to be a time out, or a redirection. Together you need to have a way to communicate that you are too triggered, upset, or reactive, and that you want to come back together when you are both feeling a little safer and saner.  Make it fun- find something that has shared humor! Monogamy does not mean that you do not get horny for other people! Monogamous or not, we all will be attracted to other people and have desires throughout our lives. That said, it can be challenging at times to know when to accept desires as passing inevitabilities, and when to try opening your relationship. It is key that the interest in opening a relationship comes only from a solid and stable place- the relationship should be working on almost all levels. Tolerable discomfort: One way you can tell if a poly relationship is working is that the one partner who is wanting poly a little less feels slightly out of their comfort zone and the other one who is more interested in poly is feeling a little bit confined. If everyone is just a little tolerably uncomfortable then it is working! Remember, this all requires incredible levels of curiosity and compassion, and communication! Fierce intimacy is possible when everyone is communicating well! Bring your questions into conversation with your partner in a way that is thoughtful. It is critical to always have a lot of love and care for your partner when discussing sexual and romantic needs, but never as critical as it is the first few times you bring it up. Do not surprise your partner, or come heavy handed. Be gentle, yet clear, and start by simply saying “Hey babe, I want to share that I am thinking about this…” . Perhaps you can start by sharing erotica, looking at personal ads, or spinning fantasies together. You might try free associating some thoughts about what your life would or could look like with new agreements. Some couples then try sharing their bed with a third- this might be all you end up doing, or just a stepping stone to further explorations. Easy things to get you to hard places: This is a great exercise to do together to help explore your edges: Get a pack of index cards and have both of you separately write down everything you could imagine your partner doing with another person. Be very specific. Order these cards into a hierarchy of things that seem tolerable to things that seem impossibly difficult. You will learn a lot about your partner- but also about yourself! The things that you thought were going to be very difficult may very well become possible, and vice-versa! Most people surprise themselves. If poly is new to you and you are having a difficult time warming into the concept- think about what is in it for you. This might be anything from having a happier partner, to more time for yourself, or more time to explore stuff that YOU are excited about. Remember poly is a spectrum that can be defined in many ways- there are a lot of possibilities. That said, if you are a definite NO, clearly articulate this to your partner is a non-shaming way. Do versus Don’t Agreements:  For those of you just beginning to explore polyamory, you will be highly focused on your agreements about what is and is not allowed.  These often come in the form of ‘Don’ts’, but over time invite in a shift towards what you do do. For example, “I don’t want you to have intercourse with her” might become “after you have intercourse with her, I really need you back in bed for some reassurance and a sense of your physical presence”. Things you agree to DO are much easier to administer and bring in a sense of motivation, energy and vibrancy to the relationship. Learn ways you can reconnect- baths, massages, dinners, gifts, hot springs, etc. and incorporate these into your agreements! Lastly: Find a poly community!!! The lack of role models can be really difficult. Plus, once immersed in a poly community you will learn from others how to navigate boundaries, jealousy, negotiations, compromises, and even gain valuable insight into what is possible in the bedroom and out!

In this Episode we talk to guest Janet W. Hardy65| Getting Started with Ethical Polyamory - Janet W. Hardy.Link: https://www.datingskillsreview.com/ep-65-getting-started-with-ethical-polyamory-janet-hardy/

In this week's podcast, we talk about our visit to a Viennese sex product store (and how it weirdly looks like an Apple store). Why did we do it and what did we learn about each other? Well, you'll have to listen in. We're in Vienna right now as part of our International Love Affair tour, celebrating the release of our fourth book, Married with Luggage: What We Learned About Love by Traveling the World.  Vienna is magical, and we could easily imagine ourselves living in this gorgeous city. But back to the topic at hand. To expand on the topic of sex and intimacy in a long-term relationship, we're talking today with Janet W. Hardy, coauthor of the landmark book, The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships and Other Adventures. Even if you're not interested in adding more people to your relationship, you will learn a lot about communication, boundaries, and the expansion of love for your own monogamous relationship. We certainly did!

Billy sits down with his first guest Nikki, a one-time Tinder hook-up, on the inaugural episode of The Manwhore Podcast: A Sex-Positive Quest for Love. The two talk about the new app that might help your oral sex skills (LickThis App). They also chat about the pitfalls of Tinder dating, polyamory, and even play a round of "Cast That Porn". Does every lady's special time really "smell like pennies"?  If you fool around with someone, are you obligated to have sex with that person? I mean, the guy has to have sex with them if offered, right? This gender hypocrisy and more arise on the first exciting episode of The Manwhore Podcast! This episode is sponsored by chocolate.

A bumper episode to compensate for the long gap between episodes! This show is explicit (if you hadn’t already worked that out by the title). In the first part I talk about polyamory and play an edited clip of myself on local radio discussing infidelity, where I mention poly and defend it to the best of my ability, given that I’d only been officially poly for about a week at that point and had just ‘come out’ on facebook that morning. I read out some extracts from The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy, and discuss some of the points raised in terms of my own experience and beliefs. Other books recommended are Opening Up by Tristan Taormino and Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cecilda Jetha. And I promised a link to the Wikipedia page for polyamory as a first port of call. In the second part I talk about stand up comedy, play an unedited clip of myself performing and give a critique afterwards of where I think I did well or didn’t do so well. This performance is also available in edited format as two youtube videos on the Casting Pods channel. The first one is called Lesbian Pussies and the second is Gay Porn. I’m probably quite hard on myself about where I went wrong, but would welcome any feedback from anyone who agrees or disagrees with my critique or with their own experiences of stand up. In the third part I talk about knitting, and this bit isn’t explicit – apart from the mention of knitted boobs if you have an aversion to mentions of female body parts.
