Talk Your Poly Off

What makes a relationship "successful"? How do you measure the success of any of your relationships? Most of us never sit down to consider these things and then when a relationship ends we feel like it "failed", but did it really? I mean do you have great memories? Did you learn a lot from each other? Did you walk away with a great friend? Was the sex fantastic while it lasted? These are all ways to reflect on a relationship and see its success without needing to use the traditional view of time as how to measure success. Monsuta and Bella chat about all this and more.

Have you ever felt like you didn't seem to be polyamorous enough? Do you feel like you have to "prove your poly" in order to be accepted? Do you come across as monogamous or have you been out of the poly scene for a while and are feeling like you have a hard time stepping back in? Maybe your family and friends just talk about your lifestyle as a phase. Whatever may be making you feel like your "poly cred" is lacking, come talk your poly off with us and perhaps we can help with that struggle of needing to prove your poly in your life.

Sex and polyamory... they aren't always connected yet often times when someone finds out you're polyam their first thought is "oh so you have tons of orgies?!" and while that might be something you're into it isn't the default just because you're polyamorous.

A healthy sex life, for people choosing to have sex as part of their dynamic, is a great way to connect on a intimate level with your partner.  On this weeks episode we talk about all the important things leading up to sex including consent, boundaries, sexual health and sti prevention. All of that leading up to some discussion on fantasies and foreplay and a few giggles from Bella.

* Please remember we are not medical professionals so please see your physician for medical advice. We hope we can help you open that discussion with partners and take the next steps but by no means are we giving you medical advice.*

There are so many "C" words we love and talk about...communication, community, cooperation, etc. but what we wanted to focus on the most in this episode are competition, comparison, compersion, and compassion. What do each of these mean and how do they affect our relationships? Bella and Monsuta cover some tips and tricks and what's worked and not worked for them and their relationships. Listen in for some Bella giggles, some heartfelt Monsutisms, and some overall education.

Valentine's Day, a day of love. Isn't every day a day full of love when you're polyamorous? Some of us don't like being told by a holiday when we should love someone. Others take the day as an extra special reminder to appreciate those we love. However you look at it we all have to manage our relationships a bit differently when it comes to this time of year.

Do you plan in advance to avoid Feb 14th or do you discuss your expectations at all making sure nobody is let down? We talk about all of this and then some in this weeks episode so tune in!

We've had such a roller coaster ride in our first year of bringing Talk Your Poly off to our listeners and we are so glad to have taken the time to do this show! In this episode, we do a year-in-review to reflect on where we've been and take the time to discuss how we've grown because of this poly-podcast journey. We don't just point out favorite episodes, we also show how we've grown as polyamory practitioners thanks to our discussions here so you can see how we are practicing what we're preaching.

Thank you all for spending this year with us and we look forward to many more with you and with new friends joining our discussion circle in 2020 and beyond!

Monsuta shares some saucy details of his birthday party, including some sexy nude oil wrestling. He shares his experience with an intimate gift created by loved ones. Bella explains how she came up with the ideas for this event and how she brought it all together.
All of these scandalous and sordid stories lead directly into the topic of discussion this week on how to plan surprise parties for partners in polyamorous relationships, along with some of the obstacles poly folks encounter while making special time for lovers.

(No polyamorists were harmed in the making of this birthday party) :)
