2025 Tantra Talks Throwback! If you followed spiritual communities online in 2025, you likely noticed this topic: Polyamory, Aubrey Marcus,  and “Radical Nonmonogamy”, etc., etc.

But are all these radical liberating concepts simply code words for “Poly f*ckery” i.e. f*ck around without consequence?

In this throwback episode of Tantra Talks from May 2025, we address one of the most common myths in Western Tantra:

Do you have to be polyamorous to practice Tantra?
Short answer: No.

But we go way deeper than that. 

You'll discover how the unexpected choice of intentional monogamy could lead to more profound spiritual growth than you ever imagined, and learn about simple, powerful practices to transform any relationship context.

1. Here’s what we unpack:

• Why Tantra is not inherently polyamorous or monogamous

• The real danger of “poly-f*ckery” masquerading as spiritual awakening

• How non-monogamy can become another form of trauma reenactment

• How choosing “intentional monogamy” can serve as a powerful exploration in spiritual practice. 

• How to make relationship choices from presence—not pressure or performance

• Our personal experiences navigating polyamory, swinging, and monogamy within a Tantric context.

The monogamy vs non-monogamy debate isn’t just a spicy trend—it’s a deeper call to examine your intention, nervous system, and patterns when it comes to how you love and connect.
