What is toxic masculinity? Is that something that just straight cismen experience or does it impact anyone who presents more masc?

Spoiler, toxic masculinity impacts all masculine presenting people. When society has 'supposed to's' and 'should's' for masculinity, all masculine humans suffer the consequences. 

So the question really is, how does toxic masculinity impact masculine folks and their relationships?

Continuing on from the theme of the last two episodes, we are now talking about date nights! You've made the move, you did the ask out, and now you are creating the connected relationship that you want with the person.

One of the tools we share with our clients to support them in their relationships is creating a designated date night in their relationship. The frequency of date night may vary depending on each dynamic, but the importance of this concept is what we dive into today!

On last week's episode we talked about how do you 'make a move' when you like someone. So we thought it only fitting to then talk about how do you ask someone out!

Especially in the queer and poly space, this can get really nuanced. But mainly, we wanted to make this episode so that even if we feel awkward or unsure, that we can still get the words out with integrity and intentionality. 

What's a story you have in either asking someone out or getting asked out that went really well? Why did it go well? What about it did you love?

What are some things that you've learned about relationships? Perhaps they don't even occur to you like "this is what I learned." For most of us, our beliefs about relationships are so engrained that honestly we don't recognize them until we start our non monogamous journey and those beliefs are challenged. 

Some of them might sound like: 
"If they really loved me they would just know..."
"If you're really committed to someone then you would (or wouldn't)..."
"Being in a relationship means you have to..."
"If you really loved someone then you would (or wouldn't)..."

What are some beliefs that you have about relationships that make non monogamy or polyamory hard?

Also of note, we talk mainly about polyamory in this episode, however, it can be just as true with queer relationships, as well.

Happy Prideeee! In the honor of Pride month (and also just being queer always), we are diving into the juiciness of gay panic.

Ever experienced the beauty of gay panic? Learn about what this means for us and also hear about different moments inside and outside of our relationship where our brains malfunctioned in the gayest ways.

Oh hello! So happy you've stumbled upon the Queer and Poly Podcast! Pour yourself some tea and get snuggled in with your honeys because this episode is a juicy one. 

In the polyamorous community we often talk about agreements v rules. In this episode, Liana and I (Elizabeth) break down what are agreements, what are rules, and what are some examples in our own relationship to help guide and navigate the conversation. 

We hope that you takeaway a better understanding of how to apply agreements to your relationships in ways that work EVEN BETTER than they have been. 

As always, feel free to drop us a line with questions!

Wow. We did not expect this episode to go the way that it did! We started with a cute idea: What is the criteria for dating us? Which turned into conversations about expectations, agreements and getting to know each other on a deeper level. 

We hope that in listening to this episode, you can hear what criteria you may have for dating in polyamorous and/or queer relationships. We also hope you gain some knowledge and tools around having conversations with partners about expectations and agreements, that can save you some strife down the line.

One of the most common questions we get as polyamorous coaches is, how do you meet people?

I don't know if there is a definitive answer to that question. Like, oh yeah, all the poly people are on 12th and Broadway usually between 1pm - 6pm on Fridays.

We've both met partners in different ways and this is the way we met.

One of the things that being in polyamorous and queer relationships provide is the questioning of norms, even norms that are really small and simple and that we don't necessarily think about until we want to break them. 

Going places separately came up in our relationship during the holidays. Mostly, we assume that couples are going to go to holiday things together, however, we didn't! Elizabeth was super nervous to bring up to Liana... well ok, just listen to the episode...
