P is for Polyamory

P is for Polyamory

 

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the A to Z of Sex.  I’m Dr Lori Beth and I am your host.  We are working our way through the erotic alphabet one letter at a time.  Just a reminder this podcast deals with adult content, so if you don’t have total privacy, you might want to put on your headphones. Today the letter is P and P is for Polyamory

 

Joining me for this conversation is Anita Cassidy, author, speaker and activist.

We talked about polyamory, conscious relationships, friendships as relationship choices, deciding not to get on the relationship escalator, looking at the difficult issues and increasing the positivity in your relationships.   We talked a lot about unconscious expectations and the negative impact these often have on relationships and how becoming conscious and setting expectations with awareness and room for change makes relationships more stable and more exciting.  We spoke about how often polyamorous people get trapped in monogamous thinking because of conditions.    I talked about how monogamous relationships can benefit from setting expectations with awareness and regular relationship examination.

 

Today we talked about polyamory, conscious relationships, doing the hard work and the benefits you reap.
