Normalizing Non-Monogamy - Interviews in Polyamory and Swinging

Rachel and Taytum are two college students in their early twenties who are exploring their sexualities and different relationship styles together. Fairly early in their relationship Taytum confessed she is interested in exploring what it's like to be with other people. However, she has no interest in breaking up with Rachel. After lots of hard discussions Rachel found our podcast and learned all of the different ways people make these types of relationships work. They are still figuring it out but they were anxious to come on the show and share their progress with us. This is an amazing and heartwarming conversation between two people are still in the middle of finding their way.   Show Notes   Win a $50 STDCheck.com Gift Card   Join Our Patreon Community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   Personal Capital   Scott's Cheap Flights   10% discount at myonecondoms.com with offer code "Emma"   Atlanta Poly Weekend - June 7-9   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/
