Today on the show, journalist Ange Lavoipierre will be reading her piece from a recent edition of The Monthly.

In the suburb of Newtown, in Sydney, two support groups almost diametrically opposed are asking essentially the same question: how much sex is too much for one person?

In one group, the Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meeting welcomes those who are ashamed about the size of their sexual and romantic appetites. For the other, an ethical non-monogamy night allows space and discussion for those who can’t get enough.
