Going Beyond Labels: A Deep Dive into Identity and Diverse Relationships with My Guest, L

Picture yourself, an only child growing up in Southern California in the late 80s and 90s, with divorced parents and an evolving understanding of your sexual identity. This is the backdrop to a deeply enlightening conversation with L, an eclectic artist, fitness instructor, intuitive reader, and home decluttering specialist. L opens up about their fascinating journey of non-monogamy, starting from their teenage years, and the unique dynamics of being both bi and pan in their relationships.

We also discuss the less-trodden paths of the LGBTQ+ community's experiences in the early 2000s and draw parallels with the social scrutiny non-monogamous relationships currently confront. L and I unmask the fears and consequences of coming out, challenge the suffocating pressure exerted by heteronormativity, and dissect the tokenization faced by the LGBTQ+ community. 

In the latter part of our discussion, we plunge into the complex world of identity labels and their potential implications. Is it plausible to test different labels like trying on clothes? Can we freeze in the face of infinite label choices? We share our personal experiences and the sense of relief when finding a label that feels right to who we are at any given stage of life. L also shares the idea of a "1 Penis Policy" and how this can be damaging in the consenual non-monogamous structure. 

So, if you're ready for a deep dive into unique relationship dynamics, tune in and stay curious.
