Ep. XXXIII: Relationship Anarchy- Is Monogamy a Kink? Ft. Adam Golding


Listen Later

For methodological anarchists, anarchy = skepticism of power. Relationship Anarchy, therefore, is skepticism of power in relationships.

Is it valid to prioritize romantic relationships over platonic relationships? Is 'enforcing' sexual exclusivity an unjustifiable form of control over one's partner? Is the societal norm of monogamy creating a situation where intimacy is suppressed, strong community ties are difficult to form, and people at large are easier to oppress? Would widespread polyamory exacerbate social problems, including the issues of incels?

Is monogamy a natural, healthy way to love that leads to profound intimacy and depth? Is it an inherently oppressive institution? Or is it perhaps just a power kink?

In this revealing episode, The Multiversity Project is joined by special guest Adam Golding. Join us as we draw from philosophy, politics, and personal experience to challenge our notions of what healthy relationships look like.
