64: K is for Kink, Kitchen Table Polyamory & Kissing + Other K Words
We’re back with our T&A Alphabet Series! These episodes were originally live trainings in our Let’s Talk Polyamory private Facebook group. Over the last few months, we’ve been uploading them onto podcast platforms, but this time we’re bringing you a brand new episode.
Today’s episode is all about the letter K! We bring you: K is for Kink, Kitchen Table Polyamory & Kissing + Other K Words
Here’s what we cover in this episode:
- Kink – what it is, common myths about it, how it differs from a fetish, where BDSM fits in, types of kink, and the importance of communication, consent and safety
- Kitchen Table Polyamory and why it isn’t the ideal or only way to do polyamory
- Kissing – including André’s story of being taught to “kiss like you’re eating a peach,” and how some relationships have rules around kissing and how to tell someone if you don’t like how someone kisses.
- Knights – not the armor-wearing kind, but staying the night or going on a vacation with another partner and how some specify where some people might have rules around where these overnights can happen.
- Kites & Strings – as a dynamic between two people (which we did a whole podcast on)
- Kuddling – when why & cuddling matters plus cuddle parties
- Kidversations – talking to kids about sex, identity, relationships and non-monogamy in a way that’s open but also age-appropriate so that they can be safe and consent.
- Kama Sutra - the art of living and loving well, and not just a sexual gymnastics manual
And a few others! We also slide in some other topics like vetos, consent, communication, poly-saturated, metamours and more!
