Are Non-Monogamous People Narcissists?

In this episode of the Evolving Love podcast, we dive into one of the most common accusations aimed at non-monogamous people: are we actually narcissists? We unpack the way the word “narcissist” gets thrown around online and in relationship culture, and explore whether non-monogamy is genuinely selfish or whether it can actually require deeper empathy, accountability and communication. Along the way, we reflect on our own experiences with validation, jealousy, manipulation, admiration, social media culture and the messy reality of being human.We talk about the difference between healthy admiration and narcissistic validation, why modern social media increasingly rewards performative vulnerability, and whether non-monogamy exposes narcissism more clearly… or simply gets blamed for dynamics that exist everywhere.Evolving Love Links:Website | Instagram | Substack | Youtube | RetreatDive DeeperEvolving Love RetreatFriday 18th Sept - Sunday 20th Sept 2026 Yass Valley, New South Wales, AustraliaIn 2026, the Evolving Love Retreat opens to all.Whether you're in a couple, throuple, or exploring solo, this retreat is for you.

Beginning a consensually non-monogamous relationship can trigger reactions you never saw coming. For example, the first time your partner connects with someone else, your body might react like there's danger. So why is that? Today, we're going to explore how to craft secure non-monogamous relationships and work skillfully with intense emotions that might arise along the way. My guest is Dr. Nicole Thompson, a sex and relationship psychotherapist and host of the popular podcast, Modern Anarchy. She is the author of The Psychedelic Jealousy Guide: Crafting Secure Non-Monogamous Relationships. She is also the founder of The Pleasure Practice, where she supports individuals in crafting pleasurable sex lives and expansive non-monogamous relationships. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: In what ways is exploring non-monogamy akin to the experience of taking a psychedelic? How can somatic regulation help when we’re experiencing jealousy and other intense emotions? What factors contribute to feelings of jealousy in non-monogamous relationships? What does it look like to transform our relationship with jealousy? To learn more, check out the Modern Anarchy website. Got a sex question?

Autistic and Non-monogamous? The Research No One's Talking About...Yet

Janet Walsh-Adams is a neurodivergent PhD candidate at Deakin University, researching a pattern that many autistic people have noticed for years: autistic adults may be more likely to pursue consensual non-monogamy (CNM). We talk about what CNM is (and what it isn't) and how stigma — not the relationship style itself — often creates the biggest risks.Janet shares personal context alongside early findings from her work, including how autism, ADHD, gender diversity, and LGBTQIA+ identity can overlap with relationship structures like CNM, polyamory, kink/BDSM, and relationship anarchy. We also dig into what clinicians still need to learn (and unlearn) about autistic intimacy, and what Janet hopes her research will change — especially when it comes to safety and autonomy.Topics explored include:What consensual non-monogamy actually means (polyamory, monogamish, swinging, and more)Why autistic people are so often miscast as uninterested in intimacy and where myths like these come fromAutism + ADHD overlap, AuDHD, sensation seeking, and moreGender diversity and LGBTQIA+ culture as key factors in relationship stylesWhich group reports higher infidelity — autistics or neurotypicals?Why breakups in non-monogamous relationships aren't "proof they don't work"Watch this episode on YouTube.Follow Janet on LinkedIn.If you'd like to know more about topics discussed in this episode, check out:"Sexuality, Gender, and Autism" by K.

Send us a textAre you navigating the emotional landscape of non-monogamy? In this episode, I chat with Lola Phoenix, author of "The Anxious Person's Guide to Non-Monogamy", "The Non-monogamy Journal", and host of the "Non-Monogamy Help" podcast. We chat about the complexities of open relationships and how to build a toolkit for managing the intense emotions that often arise.Key Insights:The importance of having a personal "anchor" in non-monogamous relationshipsCreating a self-care emergency protocol for challenging emotional momentsWhy traditional advice like "just go on a date night" might not always workHow to approach STI discussions and boundaries in open relationshipsThe value of community support in navigating non-monogamous lifestylesWe explore the concept of an "anchor" - a personal reason for choosing non-monogamy that goes beyond just keeping your current relationship intact. Lola explains why this is crucial for weathering the inevitable emotional storms that come with opening up a relationship.A Peek Into the Episode:"I think that anxiety is actually a pretty normal reaction for most people to their relationship opening. And I don't think that you necessarily have to be an anxious person to be super anxious when that's happening." ~Lola PhoenixLola challenges the notion that you can simply "research your way out of feelings" and offers practical advice for creating a self-care plan. We discuss the importance of writing down your strategies for managing difficult emotions, as your brain might not be in a learning state when you're feeling activated.We also touch on the sometimes heartbreaking situations Lola encounters in their advice column, where non-monogamy isn't the real issue, but rather a symptom of deeper relationship problems.Whether you're new to non-monogamy or a seasoned explorer, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on building healthier, more authentic relationships. Join us as we unpack the emotional complexities of open relationships and discover tools for creating more fulfilling connections.Check out Lola's books and resources at Poly Healing Retreat in Crete – March 31st to April 3rd, 2025Looking for a transformative getaway to deepen your connections and heal relationship challenges?

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) My wife and I communicate well about sex, but lately I've become extremely turned on by the thought of watching her have sex with a stranger. I think it's called ‘hotwifing.' It's just a fantasy, and I'm not sure how I'd feel if we acted on it. Usually, anytime we have a ‘kink' we tell each other, but I worry she'll think I'm a pervert with this one! Should I tell her or keep it bottled up? I know it's quite common, but it's also weird. I guess my question is: is it normal, and should I tell her or keep it to myself? I doubt she'd be game to do it anyway, and I don't want to freak her out after 15 years together.2) I'm a 60-year-old man who has been happily married for over 30 years. Sadly, my wife is increasingly less interested in sex. Not only has her libido plummeted, but penetrative sex is painful and non-penetrative sex just doesn't do it for her. She doesn't want to give up totally on sex with me, but says it is best if we just do it occasionally. Very occasionally. I struggle with this. I need more than just masturbation, and she understands that. After a lot of talking, she's suggested we practice non-monogamy. (But just me, since she doesn't want to have sex with anyone else). We have agreed on some rules: I can't have sex with someone we know (I wouldn't anyway), I can't pay for it, and I must practice safe sex. But that's as far as we've got. Please can you help us, as I don't know what to do next. And just to clarify: we still love each other, we still want to spend the rest of our lives together, we get on really well, and I am not interested in a romantic relationship—just a ‘play partner.'3) I loved the question asking you both what are three things you wouldn't do in bed. Can I be cheeky and ask what three things you WOULD like to both do, but have never done!To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

This week, Jeff is joined by one half of the Double Teamed podcast, Niki, to convince everyone listening that you should all be non-monogamous. Okay, not really, but they do bust a whole bunch of negative non-monogamy myths. They also share what they love about non-monogamy, weigh in on some of the more common challenges, and offer some tools and guidance for folks who think they might be interested in trying non-monogamy on for themselves.Listen to Jeff's podcast Problem Solved here: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/Keep up with Double Teamed Podcast:Website: doubleteamedpodcast.comInstagram: @doubleteamedpodcastTwitter: @doubleteamedpodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DoubleteamedpodcastOrder your copy of Big Dating Energy Available now!
