Welcome back for season 3!! Today we are chatting with the incomparable Vico Ortiz — actor, activist, drag king, and joyful disruptor.

A recent news article discussed the increase in popularity of polyamory as an option on dating sites, while contrasting it with real life TV shows featuring polyamorous relationships, like Sister Wives, where the arrangement collapsed and they defaulted to monogamy. Sarah and Tracy compare notes on the impracticality of multiple sex partners in our middle-aged, busy lives. And also how "open marriage" is often on offer after you find out you were in one, but were the last to know.
Are you stuck running relationship patterns you never consciously chose? In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I'm breaking down how to identify the default “rules” you inherited about love, sex, and partnership, and how to rewrite them so your relationships actually work for YOU.So many of us grew up believing myths like:“If you're really in love, you won't be attracted to anyone else.”“To be a good partner, you have to want everything your partner wants.”“Jealousy means love.”The problem? These defaults often create shame, confusion, and conflict in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.In this episode, you'll learn the 5 steps to rewriting your relationship code so you can experience real freedom:Identify the beliefs you inherited.Question what's actually true for YOU.Create new agreements with intention.Practice new habits until they stick.Celebrate every time you choose yourself.By the end, you'll see how rewriting your defaults allows you to show up with more confidence, clarity, and joy in every connection.What you'll take away from this episode:Why inherited relationship beliefs hold us back in non-monogamy.The surprising truths about love, attraction, and jealousy.Practical tools to create new agreements with your partners.How gratitude and celebration make new patterns stick.Why freedom is a daily practice, not a one-time decision.Send us a textSupport the show

FUCKED IN A GIANT MOUSE COSTUME.Jade Greene is back—and she's on an absolute RAMPAGE.Since her last visit, she's been in two gangbangs, an orgy, two glory holes, a swap, and even filmed a scene dressed as a giant mouse getting wrecked. If that doesn't make your jaw drop, wait until you hear the strip club story she drops mid-episode—it might be the most unhinged one we've had on the show to date. Jade also opens up about wanting to try DVP, her first anal scene, and breaks down the right way to choke someone during sex—safely, with intensity, and a little style.This episode is pure, filthy, sex-fueled chaos—but it's also a deep dive into sexual boundaries, fantasies, and agency from one of the most driven creators in the game. Whether you're here for the gangbang gossip, the mouse costume chaos, or just want to hear Jade talk about what turns her on, this is one you won't forget.

Its a real sleepover this time! Pinky and Ava are cozied up in pajamas, kicking back with laughs, secrets, and a little mischief. In this special pajama party episode, the ladies dive into a round of “Would You Rather?”—but not your average playground version. These spicy, flirty, and thought-provoking questions were generated by ChatGPT, keeping the fun unpredictable and oh-so-naughty. From playful hypotheticals to steamy scenarios, Pinky and Ava don't hold back as they reveal what turns them on, what makes them squirm, and what they'd never choose in a million years. Grab your favorite PJs, pour a glass (or two), and join in on the giggles and gasps—you'll definitely be asking yourself how you'd answer these questions.

In this episode, I invited Britton and Carolee Beckham to share how they moved from six-generation Mormon conditioning to a sovereign, heart-led union. Their story begins with a psilocybin journey that shifted how they saw their church, opening a path through grief into clarity and personal truth. We also sit with the courageous healing that followed repeated infidelity—how they chose to face the pain, tell the truth, and keep listening to love.Together, we unpack what sovereignty really means in partnership, why consent is a living practice, and the difference between hierarchy and healthy power in sacred sexuality spaces. The Beckhams explain their commitment to emotional monogamy while allowing playful social containers, and how deep shadow work, embodiment, and honest agreements helped them rebuild safety, desire, and trust from the inside out.We also explore parenting four kids without shame—normalizing bodies, teaching consent early, and fostering open, curious dialogue at home. Now guiding others through Ritual Shadow Work with astrology and lunar cycles, Britton and Carolee offer a grounded blueprint for choosing love, freedom, and integrity—within yourself and in union.Chapters0:00 - Introduction to Our Guests from Colorado2:30 - Realizing the Desire for a Different Path8:34 - Navigating the Exit from Mormonism13:47 - Historical Context of Polygamy in Mormonism18:17 - Sacred Sexuality and Emotional Intelligence24:35 - Exploring Sexual Sovereignty and Polyamory31:57 - Embarking on a Healing Journey32:36 - Understanding Masculine and Feminine Dynamics33:44 - Balancing Sovereignty and Freedom in Relationships42:26 - Union in Polyamory46:17 - Owning Infidelities and Relationship Growth52:01 - Releasing Judgments for Personal Freedom52:28 - Parenting and Conversations About Sexuality56:02 - A Story of Protection and Awareness in Parenting

SHE DOMMED HER OWN GANGBANG.Kyaa Chimera isn't just a dom — she's an architect of control, even in total chaos. The professional dominatrix, adult performer, and OnlyFans powerhouse joins Dustin to talk about what it means to hold a dominant frame through anything — including a 10-guy gangbang, intense facials, and the most boundary-stretching scenes in adult film.We dive into the mindset it takes to stay powerful while giving yourself over to wild situations, and how Kyaa keeps her autonomy, identity, and edge through every scene. Oh — and yes, she's put fully grown adults in diapers and used a real police taser on her partner. She also tells one of the quietest but most jaw-dropping stories ever told on the show — it doesn't scream, but it stays with you. Trust me.She's intelligent, intentional, and in full control — even when the room's on fire.

Episode 427 of Friends Talking Nerdy takes listeners into the world of love, relationships, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with polyamory. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into stories pulled from the Polyamory Relationship Advice subreddit, bringing their own lived experiences to the table with warmth, humor, and honesty.The episode kicks off with the duo acknowledging just how tricky navigating multiple relationships can be—not because polyamory itself is inherently complicated, but because humans are. Emotions, expectations, communication styles… it's all a tangle, and Reddit provides a perfect cross-section of the challenges people face when trying to make non-monogamous love work.As they read through posts from people struggling with jealousy, time management, mismatched expectations, or even just figuring out how to come out as poly to friends and family, Aubrey and Tim approach each story with empathy and grounded advice. They don't claim to be experts or therapists, but they speak candidly about what's worked in their own lives—whether it's hard-learned lessons about setting boundaries, the importance of radical honesty, or how to avoid slipping into toxic dynamics disguised as “freedom.”The conversation moves easily between serious and lighthearted. Aubrey offers thoughtful breakdowns of emotional nuance, while Tim injects humor and grounded practicality to keep things from getting too heavy. Together, they model what supportive poly communication can look like: acknowledging fears without shame, validating desires without judgment, and reminding listeners that it's okay to stumble along the way.The episode feels like a mix of a late-night heart-to-heart with friends and a pragmatic guidebook for anyone curious about—or already living—polyamory. By the end, it's clear that Aubrey and Tim's goal isn't to hand down “one true way” of doing relationships, but to remind listeners that love is expansive, flexible, and deeply personal.Episode 427 is a blend of education, storytelling, and vulnerability that gives polyamorous folks and allies alike a lot to chew on, and it adds another thoughtful entry to the Friends Talking Nerdy library of conversations that don't shy away from the messy, human stuff.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Have you ever thought, “If my partner can't meet all my needs, maybe another partner will”? In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I break down why that belief is one of the biggest traps in polyamory and open relationships.We hear it all the time in the ENM community: “No one person can meet all your needs.” That's true, but when we take it as a free pass to collect partners to fill every emotional gap, it backfires. Instead of feeling fulfilled, we multiply our insecurities, create pressure on new relationships, and leave our existing partners feeling like they're not enough.
Episode Title: Kitchen Table Polyamory: Two Couples, One Household, Infinite Love Episode Intro:What happens when two married couples not only love openly but also live together under one roof? In this special episode of Please Me!, I sit down at the kitchen counter with Tig & Nadine and Jerry & Eunice to explore the intimate, complex, and surprisingly fun world of kitchen table polyamory. Episode Shownotes:In this in-person conversation, we dive deep into ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and swingers' lifestyles—all under one roof. Our guests share their lived experiences, the joys and challenges of shared living, and how they maintain communication, boundaries, and personal sovereignty. Topics covered in this episode include: Defining your relationship style: polyamory, swinging, and open relationships Navigating jealousy and insecurity with radical honesty Day-to-day life for two couples sharing one home Authenticity in relationships and being your full self The power of communication and trust in alternative relationship structures How friendships and community support enhance their lifestyle Whether you're curious about polyamory, exploring alternative relationship models, or just love hearing stories about love, intimacy, and connection, this episode offers a candid look at life outside traditional monogamy.

Most people think the toughest part of polyamory is jealousy. But according to Richie, it's actually… logistics. Yep, the calendar.After a life-changing cancer journey with his partner, Richie realized that the hardest part of opening their relationship wasn't emotions, it was managing schedules, consent, and privacy across multiple partners. With his background in software product management, he decided to do something about it, and created PYE, a scheduling and consent management app designed specifically for the polyamorous community.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, Richie and I dig into:Why scheduling is considered an “unsolvable math problem” (and why we need more self-compassion when we feel polyunsaturated).How misunderstandings about dates, boundaries, and consent are quietly breaking relationships.The creative ways poly folks use calendars as safety tools.Why color coding, structure, and intentional planning actually free us up for more intimacy and fun.Richie's vision for cutting down burnout and building more trusting, joyful relationships with better tools.If you've ever juggled multiple Google Calendars, forgotten to communicate a boundary, or lost a relationship to logistics overwhelm — this one's for you.

A 27-year-old listener in a three-year poly relationship wants simple guardrails—tell me when you're out with someone else, if you're spending the night, and shut it down if they try to edge me out. He resists, agrees begrudgingly, then doesn't follow through. She's financially stuck, sharing a cramped place he pays for, and wonders when it's time to plan her exit.
What if midlife wasn't the decline everyone warns you about, but a second spring?In this episode of Nope!

The former stripper, current OnlyFans Creator, and metal musician joins Dustin to talk about her signature blend of early 2000s Playboy/Penthouse glamour and unfiltered, modern-day sex appeal. Her content is raw, lush, and unapologetically horny — more Pamela Anderson, less algorithm bait.We get into how platforms like Instagram and OnlyFans built empires on the backs (and asses) of sex workers — only to turn their backs on them once the checks cleared. Stormi's not afraid to say it out loud. She also drops a few of the wildest strip club stories the show's ever heard, opens up about life in a metal band, and reflects on what it really means to create content that connects emotionally and erotically.She's bold, brilliant, and burning the typical blueprint.

Zach takes the mic by himself to reflect on pets, parenting, politics, passion, and the practice of relationships. Using his playful “P's and Q's” framework, he explores everything from why he doesn't have the “pet gene” to how parenting young adults is harder and more rewarding than raising little kids. Zach also shares candid thoughts on politics, relational responsibility, and the role of men in advocating for the marginalized. He digs into the meaning of sex, asking the often-overlooked question, “What's it for?”, and discusses polyamory with new nuance. Along the way, he highlights the importance of practice in relationships, celebrating small wins, and even weaving play into partnership. This episode blends personal storytelling, professional insight, and a call for listener connection, inviting the audience to support the podcast, ask questions, and keep showing up relationally at home and beyond. Key Takeaways Pets & Posts: Zach reflects on not being a “pet person” and his writing project, Stuff I Write. Parenting Young Adults: Letting kids launch is harder than raising them, but seeing them grow into people is profoundly rewarding. Politics & Patriarchy: The current system isn't relational. Zach urges listeners to focus on how they show up at home and in community, especially men. Purpose of Sex: Asking “what's it for?” reframes sex as fun, passion, or connection rather than obligation or pressure. Polyamory & Possibility: While not for him, Zach explores polyamory as an expression of expansive love and intentionality. Practice & Play: Relationships get stronger through practice, celebrating small successes, and through playful traditions like Iron Chef dinners. Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it really mean to build a relationship outside the rules you were taught? Is it still polyamory if only one person has other lovers? And most importantly, what happens when that dynamic actually works for you? In this honest and eye-opening conversation, multi-disciplinary entertainer, author, and founder of Movement Genius, Alyson Stoner, shares their experience in their polyamorous journey. We dive into the importance of knowing your own capacity for connection, and Alyson's go-to communication tool: Frequency, Duration, and Intensity. It's a simple yet powerful way to check in about how often you connect, for how long, and with what level of emotional depth. Even if you're monogamous, this framework can change the way you relate, helping you set boundaries, stay aligned, and make sure your relationships feel balanced and intentional. Whether you're curious about polyamory or simply want tools for building healthier, more intentional partnerships, this episode will leave you thinking about love in a whole new way.
