Poly Pocket Podcast

We're reflecting after a busy week and decided that we should focus just on our week in Poly so we have an episode of pure Poly Filler for you!

This one takes you right into our lives: the bonds we share, the adventures we embark on, and the conversations we have. We promise you an episode that dives deeper into our polyamorous journey, giving you an authentic taste of our world.

We share our experience of celebrating two birthdays with two different cakes. Catching up with our friend, Texan Tom and his kids, and spending quality (vanilla) time with The Air Steward and Legs. 

But it's not all fun and games. We also discuss the importance of communication within our polyamorous community, using a recent date as an example, and highlighting how our approach has evolved over time with the aim to ensure the comfort and well-being of our dates. 

But we're not stuck just in our world. We also venture into the ethical use of nudity in films, looking at respectful portrayals versus exploitative ones. 

As we wind down, we give you a sneak peek into our upcoming camping trip. So buckle up and get ready for an episode that's not just about the physical intimacies of a polyamorous lifestyle, but more about the emotional and mental connections we build, and the meaningful conversations and experiences that shape our lives.

In this episode we debate the difference between polyamory and polyf**kery? We dig deep into the distinction between these two terms and underline the importance of long-term connections versus fleeting encounters. We emphasize that it's all about the connection, not just the sex! Also, we discuss the concept of a sliding spectrum of polyamory. 

And, hold onto your hats as we navigate the often tricky waters of honesty and authenticity in the pursuit of polyamory. We ponder on the possible pitfalls of playing the numbers game and stress the need to invest time and effort into relationships. We're also putting non-monogamy in the spotlight, discussing its rising prevalence due to the pandemic and the potential for this lifestyle to become more accepted in mainstream society. We wrap up by reflecting on how the pandemic has impacted our lives and affected the way we view time, consideration for others, and the importance of living life to the fullest. We look forward to you joining us on this enlightening and entertaining journey!

In this special edition of Poly Pocket Podcast we are sharing the WeAreX Live which was broadcast on July 27th 2023. Due to some technical difficulties, the first 8 minutes or so are missing but it quickly starts to make sense.

Have you ever questioned how you'd navigate the complex and intriguing world of polyamory? Picture yourself sitting down with our guests, Kapil, Dan, and Steff, sharing a candid conversation about their personal experiences in polyamorous relationships, the curveballs they've faced, and how they've grown from them. We open the lid on jealousy, an emotion that often shadows polyamory, but when channelled correctly, can become a powerful tool for self-realization and development.

Communication, a cornerstone for any relationship, takes on a unique significance in polyamory. Our guests illuminate its importance in fostering understanding and harmony within a polyamorous dynamic. We navigate the intriguing concept of 'compersion', a term that encapsulates the joy derived from a partner's happiness, paired with the challenges and rewards of a polyamorous lifestyle. We also distinguish between CNM (Consensual Non-Monogamy) and polyamory, underscoring that each couple should define what works for them, rather than fitting into pre-ordained categories. Suffused with personal anecdotes and practical advice, this episode invites you to understand the beautiful symmetry and intricate dynamics of polyamorous relationships. So come, join us on this insightful journey!

Ever wished you could navigate the tricky terrain of revealing polyamory to those who know you (but don't know yet) without inducing a heart attack? Join us, your friendly guides Hunter and Butcher, as we recount personal anecdotes and offer useful insights on how to handle these potentially shocking revelations with honesty and tact. We assure you that your lifestyle choices don't have to change the way people perceive you.

But there's more on the menu! We also venture into rather intimate territory - the burgeoning world of penis enlargement surgery. We discuss the economic impetus behind its popularity, the slew of available surgical techniques, the lurking dangers, and even take a peek into the  online forums dedicated to this topic. This episode won't shy away from the harsh reality of unrealistic expectations set by celebrity culture and pornography, that often fuel the demand for these procedures. 

Finally, get ready to crack a smile as we explore the curious evolution of slang words, with a special focus on the term 'gang bang.' From being a term used in negative connotations to a phrase that now holds a more positive context, its journey is quite fascinating. 

So, tune in, get comfortable and prepare to be entertained and enlightened!

This week we're talking about to how adjust boundaries as you're polyamorous relationships develop and how the need to accept change is central to an anchor partnership.

We've all heard that communication is key, but in a polyamorous setup, it's not just essential, it's survival. We dive headfirst, no pun intended, into the complexities of our poly lifestyle, discussing everything from solo dates and threesome dynamics to adventurous anal escapades. Ever found yourself contemplating a gang bang, or negotiating boundaries in a challenging situation? We've got you covered. We explore our perspectives, experiences, and even our fears, all in an open, honest and often humorous conversation.

As we wrap up, we delve into the importance of trust and protection in our lifestyle, reflecting on the constant need to adjust and grow. We also share the lighter side of our journey, recounting our daredevil child two's escapades and how we manage to keep the laughter alive amid the chaos. So, if you're intrigued by the polyamorous lifestyle or just curious about the unconventional side of relationships, this episode is for you! Embrace the laughter, the lessons, and the love with us on the Poly Pocket Podcast.

**Butcher was not gang-banged in the making of this episode 😆 **

This episode is an exploration of healing and personal growth. We discuss how stoicism can help manage emotions and the importance of achieving a state of equanimity. We also reflect on recognising patterns in relationships and making active choices, reminding you that only you have the power to control your thoughts and emotions. We even touch on the healing power of shared projects, from building a veggie patch to navigating the challenges of parenthood.

Our conversation takes a bold turn as we tackle sexual orientations and queer identity. We attempt (and fail) to build a comprehensive comparison between terms like heterosexual, bi-selective, heteroflexible, bisexual, gay, lesbian, and the broader term 'queer'. 

So, tune in and join us on this unique journey of self-discovery and growth!

Ever wondered how society's binary thinking and 'bisexual ignorance' impacts those of us with fluid sexual orientations? We delve into Butcher's personal experiences of bi-ignorance, societal pressures, and how they have shaped how she operates within middle-class UK. We highlight the importance of safe spaces for discussion, breaking the shackles of binary thinking and fully embracing the spectrum of our experiences. It's not just about bisexuality, we also touch-on the fascinating world of hot-wifing and the subtle differences from cuckolding in our combined media review and what's in Butcher's pocket.

Pop the champagne and celebrate with us as we reminisce, learn, and dream about the future of the Poly pPocket Podcast. We're your hosts, Hunter and Butcher, and we're taking a look back at a year of dynamic discussions on polyamory, relationships, and everything in between. We've navigated the complexities of love languages, sex parties, mental and physical connections, as well as emotions like jealousy and FOMO. Our journey has allowed us to form new connections and friendships, redefine our perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to the normalisation of polyamory.

Looking ahead, we're excited about bringing more voices into the conversation. We hope to host external professionals, expand our topics, and keep breaking down barriers around polyamory. We're eager to share this journey with you, and we're committed to making every episode a learning experience. So, come along with us as we venture into the next 52 episodes, continue to explore, learn, and grow in the world of polyamory. We're just getting started!

Join us as we spill the tea on our experience at the lavish KK Summer Ball and the unforgettable polyamorous date we had with one of our podcast listeners. We share our insights on the importance of getting to know people first, and how this approach can result in deeper, more meaningful connections.

In this episode, we take you through our entire KK Summer Ball journey - from the exciting pre-party chat group to the glamorous white(ish) themed outfits and the sexy venue itself. Plus, we'll share some reflections on our past experiences at parties and meeting new people, and how these have shaped our outlook on forming new relationships.
