Do you choose the smoothest course? Steady as the beating drum? Do you marry...Kocoum? Is all your dreaming at an end? Orrrrr (record scratch) -- do you stop to ponder a nonmonogamous existence? Andrew, Angeline, and Charlie are joined by Paris, their charming British buddy who is beginning his journey into the world of Polyamory. They discuss the beauty of abundance and possibility, and what it means to ethically love more than one person. Sources: "The Ethical Slut" by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy.

Andrew and Angeline discuss the laws of magic, whether dirty talk in the bedroom has outside ramifications, and building up to being verbal with a partner. Hear snippets of James Joyce's sultry love letters to his wife, Nora, and an oscar-worthy performance of a segment we like to call "Sexting Gone Wrong."

Andrew and Angeline speak to their first guest, Ashley, about casual sex and friends with benefits relationships. Is casual sex really psychologically damaging? Will studies ever interview a demographic that is NOT straight, cis-gendered college students? Is it possible to have a healthy friend with benefits?

Angeline and Andrew boldly go where no man should have gone before: into the deep, dark recesses of John Gray's "Mars and Venus in the Bedroom." Join our brave space explorers as they navigate the outdated gender stereotypes perpetuated by that one awful adage that has its own book: Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus.

A quick introduction to your ridiculous hosts and what we're all about.
