SensuElle Podcast

In Part 2 of an interview with LGBTQ content creator Sky (she/her) of @Femmmeow, Sky and Ari talk about how polyamory works when you aren't centering sex, the similarities for them between platonic and romantic relationships as a Monogamist (Ari) and a Solo Polyamorous Relationship Anarchist (Sky), and how to thrive sensually — in the absence of sex — through self-intimacy.

Burning Questions answered in this episode:

• Solo Polyamory vs. being Poly and single
• What is "riding the relationship escalator"?
• Why queerness doesn't have to center sex or allosexuality
