Polyamory, Open Relationships & Throuples, Oh My! Exploring Non-Traditional Relationship Structures

In this episode, Tashira and Margo dive into non-traditional relationship structures, including discussions of polyamory, open relationships, throuples, triads, and more. Expect lots of Tashira's signature venn diagrams, and more along the way.

Episode Description

Ever wonder if monogamy is all it's cracked up to be?

This episode dives deep into the world of non-traditional relationships, exploring options like polyamory, open relationships, and throuples.

We'll challenge the idea that monogamy is the only natural way to love. We'll explore the concept of ethical non-monogamy, where honesty and open communication are key.

Hosts share their own perspectives: One host has encountered non-monogamy in the LGBTQ+ community, but it's not their personal path. We'll chat about the challenges and complexities of navigating feelings in these relationships.

Beyond the Love Story: We'll also take a historical look at marriage and its cultural context.  Is non-monogamy a reaction to the limitations of traditional marriage?

It's Not All Sunshine and Rainbows: We won't sugarcoat it – non-traditional relationships come with their own set of challenges.

The Takeaway:  This episode is an invitation to explore different relationship models and challenge the status quo.  Join us as we celebrate diversity and open-mindedness in a world that often prioritizes monogamy.
