She was poly but agreed to marry her now-husband P with the idea that they would open up the marriage later. She has a friend of seven years, J, with whom she recently connected and wants to pursue a romantic relationship. She is anxious every time J goes on a date with someone else, fearing he'll dump her for someone who will be monogamous with him. How does she avoid getting hurt by love? You don't. To love is to risk vulnerability. You minimize risk by minimizing joy and intimacy. Take the Buddhist approach: embrace love, accept the pain that comes with it. If you really want to minimize pain, have some difficult conversations. Where is P in all this? Does he support you? Talk through best and worst case scenarios with P and J. 35:25 Feedback Herbalwise recommends the 2014 movie The One I Love as semi-poly-friendly. 36:25 Thank you!

This week, Dan & dawn bring you the fantastic Bendyogagirl! Our conversation flows from BDSM, Power Exchange, Taoism, and more! We also address two more ideas from the ‘100 things to make my slave feel owned’ list (much to the annoyance of a certain fetlife thread). AND we talk COPE, Scarlet Sanctuary, and tentacles for external use only!
This week Karen talks to us about the Scarlet Sanctuary, a sacred sexuality space found in the middle of a BDSM event. We also chat about mixing erotics in general. We share about some upcoming events and say 'absolutely' far too many times.-=-=-=-=-Do you have a podcast, event, book, or product you'd like to promote on Erotic Awakening?
