To open a relationship or not, THAT IS the question! 👀👭 Today on Bedside I'm joined by sex educator and therapist Rachel Wright to chat all things non-monogamy! We unpack what it *actually* means to be non-monogamous (hint: it's an orientation) and we highlight the importance of crafting clear relationship agreements. Whether you're already in an open relationship, are curious to know more, or are happily monogamous there's something for everyone in this convo. Oh, and if you're like me and wondering what it's like to navigate jealousy and go on new dates with respect for an existing partner,  we talk about that too!
