Pleasure is a basic human right!
This podcast is really compelling. The hosts are non-monogamous and queer, and this archive is just a rich treasure trove of thoughtful conversations around sex and love. I hope you find it as helpful as I did!

This is SO common. Whether you see your partners having more romance or sexual compatibility with each other, or they’re choosing to have a baby without you, or you’re processing breakup rejection from within the polycule, it’s complicated to want what we can’t have within non-monogamy. Here is how I stabilize myself in these moments, and pursue fulfillment elsewhere.

Today I'm offering a few more resources on abuse, as several of you have written to me this week about manipulative / coercive / controlling behaviors of one or more of your partners.
The above photo is called the Power and Control Wheel (tap and zoom to read closer), via The Hotline. Abuse takes many forms. If any of the above ring true, you can call 1-800-799...

Hi cuties! Today, I recommend this triad's podcast on how they approach non-monogamy. These 1 hour shows discuss their personal experiences and value systems. While our world views are a bit different at times, I still consider them a solid and healthy resource if you're seeking even more ethical poly content.
I hope it serves!

The following contains spoilers for Louis Theroux's one hour special, "Altered States: Love Without Limits" (BBC + BBC Two, 2018).
I gotta make this review a two-parter. There's just so much to unpack.

How do we set healthy boundaries? When should we set ultimatums? Most importantly, how do we identify unhealthy (manipulative or controlling) versions of either? Let's jump into it.

The following contains spoilers for Netflix's series Insatiable, season one.
_____
So, Insatiable is a deeply weird show. It's a Mean-Girls-esque high school dramedy about a beauty pageant, but also with exorcisms, vampires and a murder mystery...? Still, they manage to tackle non-monogamy in there, so let's look a...

Hey lovebirds. Thank you for joining me as I opened (and continue to open) up about my love life, in an effort to be of service. When I started Chill Polyamory a few short months ago, I had no idea I'd connect with such strong and open-hearted folks like you.
To ring in the new year, I want to offer you another great poly resource, Poly ...

This complex chart was first published by Franklin Veaux in 2010 as a way to illustrate common non-monogamy relationship structures.
This chart is a lot to take in. Here are some quick, layman's terms examples of each differentiation, though it won't be comprehensive:
