As a young girl in Catholic school, Maria thought she'd become a nun. Instead she married young, started a family and a successful career. After the trauma of 911 and her husband falling ill, they both agreed Maria needed extracurricular relationships. Now in her 60's, Maria has a lover twenty years her junior, plus a married boyfriend she’s been seeing for over two decades. Hear her story of open monogamy, her views on sex, love and dating - and how confidence is the best aphrodisiac.

In this special 9- Part series on Open Monogamy,  Dr. Tammy talks with individuals, couples, and a throuple, as they share their relationship stories, where they fall on the Monogamy Continuum, and how they define commitment.  Listen first hand, as average folks open up about their marriages, multiple partners, the difference between cheating and ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, happiness, and designing the sex and love lives that work for them. --Episodes will release every other week through October 3, 2024.
