Lamees and Nick share their transition from non-monogamy to the stability of monogamy. They introduce a framework for 'relationship fortification' that emphasizes honest communication and regular check-ins. Personal anecdotes reveal challenges like emotional manipulation and the importance of self-expression. Through structured conversations, they tackle jealousy and vulnerability, reinforcing the value of validating emotions. The duo explores the complexities of flirting within relationships and the role of gratitude in building deeper connections.

Today, I’m sitting down with my dear friends Luna and Leo for what might be the longest and most insightful conversation I’ve ever recorded.Luna shares her journey of leaving a toxic non-monogamous relationship and finding something healthier and more fulfilling with Leo. We dive into their personal triggers, how their past experiences shaped them, and the self-awareness they’ve gained through opening up.

Ellie and Cole went from both being non-monogamous to just Ellie playing with others. But that doesn’t mean Cole doesn’t benefit! Ellie shares videos and pictures of her encounters and brings the sexual energy into their relationship when she gets home. We dive into how this (some might say hotwifing) arrangement works, the conversations that made it possible, and their journey from playing together to settling into a mono-poly dynamic.Listen to Ellie's podcast 'Kink with Alex + EllieSubstack:https://talkingkinkpodcast.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6tg4geRbYCJWl2SmwweVodApple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-kink-with-alex-ellie/id1727462400To My Stag, My Hubby full audio:https://soundgasm.net/u/ParcaeNona/To-my-Stag-my-HubbyBook a free exploratory call with me⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/polycuriouspodcast/30min?month=2025-01Join our Whatsapp community⁠⁠⁠ herehttps://chat.whatsapp.com/CIo9i8FTioT0ebfU3QmNqVJoin our Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/PolycuriousFollow Polycurious on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this final episode of the Mono-poly mini-series, my assumptions about these relationships get seriously challenged! Shy is solo poly, non-hierarchical, and a relationship anarchist, while Gabrielle, who’s monogamous, has a surprisingly open (some might even say poly) mindset. We dive into what non-hierarchy actually looks like in practice and how even monogamous partners can benefit from polyamory.Book a free exploratory call with me⁠⁠here⁠⁠https://calendly.com/polycuriouspodcast/30min?month=2025-01Join our Mono-Poly Whatsapp community⁠⁠here⁠⁠.https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ka6FnsUEPaJ2gpFBcphhQJJoin our Patreon⁠⁠here⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/PolycuriousFollow Polycurious on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode Seth and I talk about why he’s never lost his confidence as a monogamous man in a non-monogamous relationship. We unpack how we approach "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (spoiler: it’s not what you think!) and share what we’ve learned about making a mono-open dynamic work.

Today I'm giving you a little sample of a Patreon episode. Feeling NRE (New Relationship Energy) in non-monogamy for the first time? If you're connecting with someone outside your primary relationship, you might freak out a bit (I sure did!). Here’s what I wish I knew: Thinking about your new lover more than your partner is normal and it will likely go away: Infatuation often comes with intense emotions and short-term, obsessive attachment. Remember, you likely felt the same for your primary partner once—it will fade.  You might feel guilty: If you haven't discussed this with your partner, guilt can creep in. It’s crucial to talk about what happens if someone catches feelings. Falling in love isn’t something you can control—be ready for it. You might doubt your primary relationship even if it’s going great: This is monogamous conditioning at play. Society teaches us that loving someone else means something’s wrong. It takes time to unlearn that belief. Resources: NRE Newsletter Post  Join my Patreon at ⁠patreon.com/c/Polycurious⁠ Book an exploratory call here: https://calendly.com/polycuriouspodcast/30min
