  Has a bad breakup ever made you think ‘the only way to get over someone is to get under someone else'? Author and Ethical NonMonogamist Kevin A Patterson is feeling a bit lost and confused, so he grabs his Bang bag and orchestrates his own gender non-specific traveling hand orgy. For one entire day, he schedules tag team handjob deliveries, because making people feel good, feels good. So much driving, so many g-spots and vaginas…and as the clock counts down, the competition is getting fierce. Who will rank #1 in orgasms on the dry erase board?   Song: ‘Trophy' (Charli XCX)   About the Storyteller:   Kevin Patterson is an active member of the Philadelphia polyamory community. He's been practicing Ethical NonMonogamy since 2002 after opening up a relationship that eventually became his marriage.    In April of 2015, Kevin started Poly Role Models, an interview series for people describing their experiences with polyamory. Poly Role Models was part of a drive and a desire to change the way our lives and communities are viewed. To continue that discussion of polyamorous representation, Kevin has extended the blog's work into the writing of the book, Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities. Along with co-writer Alana Phelan, Kevin launched a sci-fi novel series, For Hire, Operator that centers characters of color as well as other marginalized identities.   Want more of Kevin?

I talk with Jamie Cawelti of Sex Positive World in this conversation. We learn about their mission, their methods and get lots of tidbits along the way of how to enjoy healthier happier sex lives for ourselves along the way. As well as touching on Jamie's personal story and more. Sex Positive World is an umbrella organization that encourages and supports worldwide sex positive communities. We are an entirely volunteer-run non-profit committed to changing societal ideas and values around sexuality through education and empowerment. This organization was founded in 2009 as a single chapter in Portland, Oregon, and we have since expanded to more than 5000 members and 10 chapters in cities across the US and Europe. Thier umbrella covers all aspects of human sexuality including gender and orientation (LGBTQIA), relationship styles (monogamy-polyamory), and sexual expressions (kink, tantra, lifestyle). We focus on consent and boundaries, how to have a sexy safer sex talk, body-positivity, healthy touch, sexual health, reproductive freedom, trans rights, anti-racism (yes, this is a sex positive issue!), sex-positive parenting, and more.To learn more about what was mentioned please follow these links: Sexpositiveworld.com Jamie Cawelti - @ExploringJamie on all the socialsMaketimeforthetalk.com Marla Renee Stewart https://www.marlareneestewart.com Andrea Allen Andrea Allan (@andreacomedy69) Books:Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities by Kevin A.

Kevin Patterson, Chris Smith, Lusty Guy, and Minx discuss what we mean by "toxic masculinity" and how we should respond to both the term and the thing itself. 0:00 Introduction and host chat Under 18? Stop listening now and visit http://www.scarleteen.com 1:15 Host chat 1:30 Topic: Toxic masculinity Kevin Patterson, creator of the Poly Role Models blog and author of Love’s Not Color Blind and For Hire: Operator, Chris Smith, a doctoral student at Howard University, author of Open to Love: Polyamory and the Black American and relationship researcher, and Lusty Guy, our cohost and producer. What is toxic masculinity? Setting absolutes on how gender can present and act. What makes it toxic? Anything in too great a quantity can be toxic. How toxic masculinity really relates to sports: if emotions are so key to teamwork, how can masculinity? What do we want “masculine” to be? It’s not inherent. Why is there a negative reaction to the idea of “toxic masculinity,” as in any other instance where too much of something is toxic? First response should be to do a self-assessment. How does this relate to polyamory? We need to beware of harem fantasies driving all the media representation of polyamory and of societal scripts of jealousy meaning love and other men being enemies. Everyone’s a little bit toxic. Find Kevin Patterson on email at PolyRoleModels@gmail.com, online at PolyRoleModels.tumblr.com, on Twitter at @PolyRoleModels, on facebook.com/PolyRoleModels.

On this 10th episode, I talk with Kevin Patterson- educator, speaker and author- about polyamory.  For those new to this, polyamory is the state or practice of maintaining multiple romantic and/or sexual relationships at the same time, with the awareness and consent of all folx involved. Kevin is the creator of an online forum called Poly Role Models and has authored a newly released book called Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities. Kevin shares his own journey toward polyamory, why this is not just "white people shit," and what parenting in a polyamorous family can look like.

The support and response has been so positive as we're having conversations that shine a light on diverse experiences and strategies as they relate to sexual health within families and this episode is no exception. I talk with Kevin Patterson, educator, speaker, and author about polyamory. And for those new to this, polyamory is the state or practice of maintaining multiple romantic and/or sexual relationships at the same time with the awareness and consent of all folks involved. Kevin is the creator of an online forum called, Poly Role Models and has recently authored a book called, Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities. Kevin shares with us his own journey toward polyamory, why representation is so important in this community and what parenting in a polyamorous family can look like. Let's have a listen."  M.C.: “Hi Kevin, how are you?” Kevin Patterson: “Hey! I’m doing good. How are you doing?” M.C.: “I’m doing well. We are excited to have you on the SPF podcast! So just want to get started with telling us a little about the journey toward polyamory and toward the work that you’re doing now.” K.P.: "My journey with polyamory started with my then-girlfriend now wife, we just sort of stumbled into like some group activity let's say and it turned into, a lot of like really meaningful conversations about what we wanted to do with the exclusivity in our relationship or whether we wanted exclusivity at all. And we decided not to! Basically, we found ourselves open and decided to stay open and that looked a bunch of different ways over the course of several years before we ...

Kevin Patterson talks about his new book Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities. We delve into how to figure out what you don’t know, being more inclusive in your community, balancing masculinity and non-monogamy, how the political climate has changed social interaction, light-skinned privilege, forced ambassadorship, those damn pink pussy hats & more. Ken & Sunny answer a listener question about g-spot play. Kevin’s bonus story (with a surprise, twist ending!) is at https://www.patreon.com/posts/17188911 Guest Bio Kevin Patterson is an active member of the Philadelphia polyamory community. He's been practicing ethical nonmonogamy since August of 2002 after opening up a relationship that eventually became his marriage. In April of 2015, Kevin was inspired to start Poly Role Models, an interview series for people describing their experiences with polyamory. Poly Role Models is part of a drive and a desire to change the way our lives and communities are viewed. It is currently the most diverse and inclusive platform for polyamory available. To continue the discussion of polyamorous representation, Kevin has extended the blog's work into nationwide speaking engagements about how race and polyamory intersect. This has led to the writing of the book, Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities.

      Have you ever wondered what it's like to have an open relationship? What the heck does that even mean and are people really doing this? According to our guest, many people are trying this and learning from each other in the process.  Kevin Patterson runs a facebook page all about open relationships. On his page, he asks fellow poly people to share their positive and their negative stories. Aparently, we are humans who are capable of making mistakes-regardless of whether we are in a monogamous or a poly relationship.  Rather than throwing the baby out with the bath water, why not learn from your mistakes or learn from the mistakes of others? Our guest this week is an amazing and interesting person that joined us via the telephone. Hopefully the sound holds up. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it. Enjoy!   About Our Guest: Kevin Patterson of Poly Role Models Kevin is the curator of the interview series blog Poly Role Models. It’s part of an effort to fix the lack of diversity with which ethical non-monogamy is typically represented. The blog has spun into speaking engagements across the country about the intersection of race and polyamory. Kevin hopes his efforts change the landscape in regards to the creation of inclusive environments. Kevin's book "Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities" releases on March 30th. He is currently trying to crowdsource funds for a book tour. http://polyrolemodels.tumblr.com https://www.facebook.com/polyrolemodels/ @PolyRoleModels About Us: Angela Skurtu is a licensed marriage and family therapist and an AASECT certified sex therapist.
