You may have first seen them on Showtime's Polyamory: Married & Dating in 2012, but what the show didn't show views was their work in activism, writing, and big plans to change the world. 10+ years later, and Vanessa has a charcuterie board of work to show and resources to offer the queer and sex work communities. Join the convo to hear them talk about their Death Doula business, their two completed books, and their self defense classes they offer geared towards LGBTQ folk and sex workers. My goal with this interview was to let you get to know Vanessa along side me, so you feel inspired to seek out their many resources they've worked hard to offer a variety of communities.Find more of them and their work on: instagram @vanessacarlislevanessacarlisle.com& on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 5pm on KPFK Radio "Body Politics"https://www.kpfk.org/archives/Support the show
Help! I think I love multiple people at once...This episode dives deep into non-monogamy, and for the first time ever, I reveal my own personal curiosities about polyamory since coming out as a lesbian! If you're curious, don't be afraid. Fear only divides. After all, love multiplies. Jessica Levity is calls herself a polyamorous mama, demisexual slut, and bisexual phenomenon. She is excited about expanding the cultural narrative on healthy relationships and polyamory over at @RemodeledLove on Instagram, where she has a community of humans committed to growing together, exploring non-traditional relationship dynamics, developing healthy communication skills, and surviving parenting while living their best ethically slutty lives. This episode covers topics like: 🔥 🧠What is demisexuality 💃🏻What is polyamory and how is it different than swinging? ☠️Why do we fall for emotionally unavailable humans? 🏠Navigating polyamory as a parent 💭What are our personal polyamory fantasies? I learned so much about myself while recording this episode. Ultimately, I know I crave a deep, longterm relationship with a woman. I don't have sexual desire for men. Bi-romantic? Maybe. But I as of now, I am sexually a lesbian. Am I open to a closed polyamorous relationship? Maybe with the right couple. My ideal lady? The kind of older woman (40-57 ideally) who comes with a husband. You know, the kind of woman who looks "taken care of," botoxed, fit, fabulous, and even more feminine than me. She wears knock me down and fuck me shoes at night and sneakers during the day. I'd want her to be a prolific squirter, emotional cuddler, great kisser, and want to fuck for hours. HOURS. I dream of innocently laying in bed and watching the little mermaid while she scratches my back. I'd hope for us both to feel emotionally full and sexually never satisfied…always wanting more. As far as the man… I don't have to touch him, he can worship me from afar, and if she enjoys being with him, then I can watch her with him. Most importantly, he likes to watch me please his lady better than he ever could. Ideally this fantasy man enjoys spiritual conversations, loves a cuddle puddle, lives to serve us, take care of us…yet encourages us in our dreams and financial independence. He is just there to pay for the ridiculous things like more Chanel bags, open doors, and repair broken beds…because well, the sex is JUST too good that sometimes, we bust the headboard away from the frame. And of course, I'd appreciate a strong emotional bond with both humans. While I can't ever imagine myself being a one-night stand unicorn, I would be open to being a forever third. With that being said, I don't need a triad…I want a wife…but if she comes with a husband, okay, Daddy, you can play too. So that's the dream…But we can't have it all right?! Okay but low-key, if that's you, slide in the dms. What questions has this episode helped you answer for yourself?

"Remind me not to go to any of YOUR soirées." In today's episode Laura and Corwin tear apart the tropes and stereotypes in the second half of season 1 of Showtime's Polyamory: Married and Dating. If you'd like to watch along, anywhere you can stream showtime shows, be it an individual app or adding the channel to Amazon or Hulu accounts, will get you access. We're discussing episodes 4-7 today; you can hear our take on episodes 1-3 in Season 1, Episode 6 of this podcast. We talk about what looks faked and real in this prime example of a scripted/ "unscripted" reality show, and how to avoid the interpersonal errors made by the characters on the program. We also giggle about how cringey it is, abuse the word "soirée" and generally have a good time, becaus getting your best friend on Zoom for a couple hours of trash tv trashing is a quality pandemic activity for THIS host. Corwin has been practicing ethical non-monogamy for the past eight years, getting his start with polyamory and slowly branching out into other styles of non-monogamy. Currently, he describes his relationship style as ethical non-hierarchical non-monogamy. He also owns and operates Upline, CT's premiere rope studio, the details about which can be found at https://uplinestudio.com. His personal rope & photography projects can be found on Instagram @corwinrope Special Guest: Corwin.

Warning: discussion of some adult situations as portrayed on an explicit television show. If frank discussion of human sexuality or its misuse by a television network for cheap entertainment offends you, do not listen to this episode. Corwin and Laura take apart all the ways the 2012 Season 1 Episodes 1-3 of Polyamory: Married and Dating portray polyamory negatively, or as a stereotyped joke, while noting that this was pretty much the heyday and high point of scripted/not scripted "reality tv" and that if you missed this then, you might still find equal parts enjoyment and anger in watching it, as Laura did. It looks like it's available through showtime's streaming service, though Laura has that channel as an add-on to her Amazon prime account. If you want to watch before you listen, or after you listen to the "recap," (or after the episode, because, really, while we make a great case for it being bad community representation, we also make a great case for it being quite entertaining, albeit cringier than I like) it's "half-hour" made for cable episodes so it takes an hour to watch all three. It's absolutely not necessary, but if you want the option, that's where to find the show; season 1, episodes 1-3. In addition to being an expert on pre 2015 reality tv, Corwin has been practicing ethical non-monogamy for the past eight years, getting his start with polyamory and slowly branching out into other styles of non-monogamy. Currently, he describes his relationship style as ethical non-hierarchical non-monogamy. He also owns and operates Upline, CT's premiere rope studio, the details about which can be found at https://uplinestudio.com. His personal rope & photography projects can be found on Instagram @corwinrope.

We think there are SO many red flags House of Cards is a Netflix series which we obvi don't watch anymore because Kevin Spacey is a predator Steven Universe is on Cartoon Network and is 100% a Sham pick! He talks about Gem fusion stuff Masters of Sex was on Showtime and was a scripted series detailing the work of Masters & Johnson's studies of human sexuality Big Love was the first big show Jhen remembers about non-monogamy on mainstream tv and she is TOTALLY breaking up with Sham because he has never seen it Swingtown was on CBS back in the day and was set in the 19070's but neither of us has ever seen it - Google picked this one Sense8 was on Netflix and while Jhen don't really consider it a polyam show, she loved it!

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour , Sam welcomes Mystic, Muse, Mentor, and Author, *KamalaDevi McClure*. KamalaDevi McClure, (Pronouns: they/them aka KD) is a pansexual, genderqueer art activist. KD has *authored seven books* ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/kBx5bpbQ2t_anqeH/a8982c480e6f67a29c4e17f3ec238d6e ). They've starred on Showtime's reality TV series, Polyamory: Married & Dating , and been featured on Dr. Drew, Tyra Banks, and the award-winning documentary, Sex Magic. After almost 20 years of teaching tantra, sacred sexuality, and temple arts around the world, KD currently lives by the ocean with their husband and son in San Diego where they are on a virtual book tour for 2 new books: *Sex Shamans* ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/kBx5bpbQ2t_anqeH/096c0e82879930dbff1be3d12a41b0ad ) and *52 Fridays* ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/kBx5bpbQ2t_anqeH/206894f8140a485c6a4a3eb9983f3748 ). Tune in for this enlightening conversation at *TalkRadio.nyc* ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/kBx5bpbQ2t_anqeH/0efbc91c8cbda036e65dda04e8c78812 ) or watch the *Facebook Livestream by clicking here* ( https://fb.watch/3BjEatwkVg/ ) *.* *Show Notes* *Segment 1* Sam recites the quote of the day. KamalaDevi McClure is Introduced. Their pronouns are they, them and they are known for their writing and appearance in the Showtime Reality series Polyamory: Married & Dating. Very touched by the quote because it touches on the idea that there is no good or bad. *Segment 2* KD describes their early exploration of their sexual identity and coming out. KD began to study tantra and sacred sexuality. They teach people to open up to their full expression and let go of all the false notions of who they think they are. The continual loss of who you are, ego death, can be a painful process. Not only are you opening yourself up to a new world full of unknowns, you must cut ties with the know. KD compares this to when they severed ties with their lesbian community after meeting their husband and accepting their nonbinary identity. *Segment 3* People have many common misconceptions about tantra, just look at the jokes people make about Sting's sex life. Tantra includes but not exclusively about sexuality. In its most basic form it is an embodied path towards spiritual enlightenment, it is both ascending and descending. Alternative relationships. Monogamy is a couple's choice but it is not what all people favor. KD and their husband have lovers within the relationship. KD believes that what is ultimately most important is that person follows their heart and forms relationships that serve them well. *Segment 4* KD teaches the Temple Arts. You've likely heard the term, “My body is a temple.” This practice is about bringing heaven to earth. KD encourages people to look at their relationships and sex life then ask themselves, “What do I want? Why?” Your relationships are a reflection of your relationship to the self so the answers to those questions often say more about you rather than your partner. They also talk about the impact that the pandemic has had on people's relationships. KD believes that it has made them deeper and richer. For those who are in lockdown alone they are still with their beloved, themselves, and that is the deepest work. A strong relationship with the self will only benefit your relationship with others.
