Normalizing Non-Monogamy - Interviews in Polyamory and Swinging

Sonia and Gabriel have been together for over 19 years and have been practicing polyamory for about 10 years. They have a refreshingly honest conversation with us about where they are, how they've grown along the way, and the learning experiences that have brought them here. We also talk about what being queer and kinky (or not) means to both of them. We love this interview and hope you do as well.   Gabriel is also the director, producer, and editor of a new adult animated educational series, called Welcome to Kinkyville, about kink and how to do it safely. The kickstarter campaign started on August 10... Check it out, spread the word, and help us in supporting this type of amazing work!   Check out the full show notes here.

Sarah and Keith are in their early thirties and have essentially been together since they were 15, if we don't count that short break during college. They started exploring non-monogamy about six months ago after sort of stumbling across it while posting sexy photos of Sarah in various Reddit communities. They're looking to explore it all and see where the journey takes them. We love the energy and approach they bring to this adventure. Enjoy!   Check out the full show notes here.

Jamie’s story is beyond powerful. They are incredibly vulnerable with us about the adversity they have overcome and continue to work through around transitioning, being autistic, surviving a stroke, poverty, and being in a relationship they don’t really have words to describe. While powerful and moving, Jamie also brings levity and humor to their story which is amazing. This isn’t one to skip… We hope you enjoy it.    Check out the full show notes here.
