What is polyamory? What's a sign that someone might be suited for polyamory? What are some common mistakes people make when exploring polyamory for the first time? Find out in this week's episode of The Learn to Love Podcast, where your host Zach Beach interviews the polyamorous writer and educator Franklin Veaux on Beyond Monogamy Learn more about your guest below: Franklin has been ideologically polyamorous his entire life, functionally polyamorous since 1984, and writing about polyamory since 1998. Monogamy has never made much sense to him. (When he heard a fairy tale about a princess forced to choose between two handsome princes, he thought “everyone knows princesses live in castles. And castles are big enough for both princes. So why does she have to choose?”) He started practicing non-monogamy from the moment he started becoming aware that boys and girls are different. Along the way, he's made just about every mistake it’s possible to make in polyamorous relationships. Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgment. Today, he is married, has several partners, and lives in Portland, Oregon. He is a professional writer who writes fiction and nonfiction on everything from ethics to transhumanism to computer security. He is the author of The Game Changer: A Memoir of Disruptive Love, the coauthor of the nonfiction book More Than Two and the steampunk alternate history novel Black Iron, and has a new novel coming out in 2021 coauthored with Eunice Hung.
