episode 2: is polyamory a cop-out to “real, loving relationships”?
meg and i talk about the misconceptions of polyamory, the philosophy and practice of being in love or romantically involved with more than one person. does it stem from a fear of commitment or intimacy? do people use it as an excuse to be selfishly promiscuous? do all polyamorous couples have multiple sexual partners and do they all know each other? what about STD’s? is it the same thing as an open relationship or polygamy? how do i know if it’s for me? how can i talk to my current or prospective partner about it? is monogamy the end all, be all for all couples?
