All sexual activity comes with risks, pregnancy, STIs, or STDs, so most people use barriers (condoms) for protection. The only way to truly avoid risk is to abstain from sex.

What are some reasons people become fluid bonded? How do you initiate that conversation with your primary partner? Join us the episode to find out.

ENM is supposed to be a safe place, with no judgement but I’m sure as most of us have learned, that’s not always the case. This week we’re talking the many ways that we judge one another in polyamory. How can we avoid doing this in the future. Join us as we discuss ways to be more open and honest with ourselves so we can be less judgmental in our relationships

As we’ve discussed previously, the “umbrella” of ENM is quite large. Throughout our journey, we’ve noticed that some forms of ENM overlap. On our journey to polyamory, we found swinging first. Years later we learned that many people had a similar experience. Almost as if the two forms of ENM overlap. Join us this week with special guest, our friend, host of the podcast Coffee with Mrs. Crawford, Ebonie Crawford, to discuss the overlap between the swinging lifestyle and polyamory.

We’ve never shied away from sharing things we’ve done wrong along our journey. Hell, that’s one of the reasons we created the show.

We’re going to share some specific mistakes we’ve made, the reasons we felt we made them, and how we feel we could’ve avoided them. You won’t want to miss it!

Have you ever experienced building a connection with someone, thinking things are going well, then responses to text messages and phone calls become slower, then you start getting excuses for them not having time for you. Then boom, they just vanish. Well, that act is known as ghosting. Over the years, it’s become much more common. So much so that, one of the major music channels created a tv series about it titled, Ghosted: Love Gone Missing. Why do you think ghosting has become so common? Why do you think people ghost? How does someone deal with being ghosted? Check out this episode where we discuss all this and more!

Join us as we dig deeper into our relationship and share a little more about ourselves. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed playing!

We’re going to talk about what it means to us, as well as some of the negative connotations that come with it.
