Description

Well, hey! It's been a while since we've holla'd at ya. How you holdin up?


We've been on a little hiatus - or not so little, to be honest - focusing on life stuff, family milestones, and sometimes just barely keepin it together. Let the church say amen


 


In this episode which has been in the can since prior to our hiatus, our bi blank men take on the vast and rangy topic of polyamory & monogamy.


 


Along the way we get into the origin, meaning and nuance of the term polyamory in culture, as well as other terms like nonmonogamy and open relationships;


we grapple with and debate our own conceptions of monogamy, as two folks that have
long decided it's not for either of us;


we explore class dynamics within the polyamorous community writ large, stimulated by relatively recent conversation around polyamory in mainstream media and social media;


we even discuss the tricky phenomenon of polyamory (or nonmonogamy) as a fix for failed monogamous partnership;


 


And much more!  We hope you enjoy it, and we
wanna hear your thoughts.
