Queen City Poly

Brian O'Neil & Coach Kay review Poly Love, an 2016 documentary by Michelle Flores. Be warned, there are spoilers in this episode, so if you want to see the documentary first, watch it now on Amazon Prime.

Why is leaving a track of broken hearts is especially problematic in polyamorous dynamics? Multiple relationships is not an easy road of settling down into bliss. It takes constant communication and checking in. But for those of us that want an ethical, non-monogamous life filled with love, it's worth it. We dish out our strategies for finding online poly community and what we've found helpful and not helpful. Brian discusses the high need for counselors who are poly-friendly and why he feels confident that moving his career in this direction will provide benefit to the poly community. Then we touch on other communities that may have a slightly higher poly-population that you can also seek out. What about finding partners? In Episode 2, we touch on how we date, when we tell potential partners about our polyamorous lifestyle, our best tips on first dates, and how the different dynamics of how "out" we are how affect how we date.

Coach Kay & Brian O'Neil introduce themselves and kick off the first episode of Queen City Poly. In this episode, Coach Kay & Brian O'Neil  discuss their polyamory origin stories and a bit about who they are and where they come from. They also discuss Spike Lee's new Netflix series She's Gotta Have It and the ways in which polyamory is brought up across the sexes in relationships. In a heterosexual dynamic, who typically brings up non-monogamy? What's the deal with homophobia and sexual jealousy within monogamous relationships and cross-sex friendships? Is opening the door for a member of the same sex a southern taboo or a more general patriarchal taboo and what the hell is up with that? The vibe is intended to be conversational and chill. 

We hope you feel like you are with us in the living room, just talking relationships.
