Debunking Common Myths About Polyamory


Listen Later

Ever had someone question your polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships—or share misconceptions about what polyamory really is? If you’re new to exploring non-monogamy, you might even find yourself wondering the same things!

In this episode, we bust five of the most common and persistent myths that have shaped public perceptions, created unnecessary fears, and discouraged people from exploring non-monogamous relationships—even when they know monogamy isn’t the right fit:

🚫 Polyamory is only about sex

🚫 Polyamorous people can’t commit or do the work of being in a monogamous relationship
🚫 Polyamory is unnatural
🚫 Polyamory always leads to jealousy
🚫 Polyamory is just a phase until you find the "right person" + if you truly loved someone, you wouldn’t need anyone else

We dive into why these myths simply aren’t true, sharing personal stories, real-life examples, and insights from our years of coaching, therapy practices, and lived experiences in the polyamorous community.

💡 Whether you’re poly-curious, have been practicing non-monogamy for years, or simply want to understand more about consensual non-monogamy, this episode is packed with eye-opening truths and valuable takeaways.
