Happy Polydays

Ro Moed (@unapolygetically) is a solo polyamory content creator, personal coach, and aspiring writer. We discuss:

- Ro's polyamory origin story, and how she came to reclaim her independence through solo polyamory after a toxic relationship

- What solo polyamory is and how it is still a relatively new term with different definitions within the polyamorous community

- Digital boundaries online, parasocial relationships, and how we navigate demands on our time and space and negative comments from followers

- Our respective businesses providing 1-1 support to the polyamorous community (her as a coach, and me as a peer supporter) and what issues clients come to us with the most often

and much more.

Jhen (@monogamishpod) grew up in Jamaica and moved to America when she was 20, whereas I (@polyphiliablog) grew up in Hong Kong and moved to the UK when I was 16. We talk about the intersection of polyamory and race, including:

- our experiences as polyamorous women of colour in both our home countries and the ones we currently live in

- the difference between growing up in a majority-white country versus growing up among people of your own race, and how that impacts your psyche

- how our respective cultures allowed and even normalised cheating (but only by men), but treated it as the elephant in the room to “keep up appearances”

- whether or not it is ethical to have a “no white people in the polycule” boundary

- how gender is racialised and race is gendered in Black and Asian communities

- How certain groups of POC engage in proximity to whiteness

and much more.

CW: very explicit discussions of sex and kink!

Annie (@annie_undone) is a kinky switch in a polyamorous BDSM dynamic. We discuss:

- How to handle breaches of trust within a polyamorous kink dynamic

- How kink and group dynamics can intersect in fun ways

- How high romance can be kinky!

- How polyamory and kink both teach great lessons on consent, communication, and intentionality, and are both excellent mediums for personal growth

- How polyamory and kink can conflict when negotiating titles, hierarchy, bedroom vs 24/7 dynamics, and mono/poly relationships as a device to dominate a submissive

- How people-pleasing tendencies can be dangerous in a submissive state

- When one’s responsibility over another feels like too much power, and where our personal limits are as Dommes in power exchange dynamics

and much more.
