Hi! We’re Emma and Fin! We’re a married couple in our thirties who have been exploring non-monogamy for over 15 years. Every week we interview people from across the spectrums of gender, sexuality, and relationship styles to hear their amazing stories. Many of our guests identify as swingers or polyamorous. However, quite a few have redefined non-monogamy in their own way by creating a unique dynamic that works for them. We hope that by giving a voice to the diverse community exploring non-monogamy that we can show people they are not alone and inspire them to embrace their true selves so that, together, we can open minds and live authentically without shame. We hope you enjoy the show and who knows, maybe someday you’ll even be up for sharing your own story. We’d love to hear it!

Kristen and Austin started exploring swinging early on in their relationship after they got pregnant and she lost interest in sex. Her solution was to outsource the task. Since then, they have leaned on non-monogamy to help them navigate their mismatched libidos, which have persisted even after the pregnancy. Over the years their dynamic has moved fluidly across the spectrum of non-monogamy and at times completely back to monogamy. They are currently in a triad with a woman named Lindsey in which all three of them have independent relationships with one another. It's a beautiful story and we hope you enjoy it!

Fear doesn't stop death. It only stops life. Amazing insight straight from the Cheating on Fear website, as is the following bio (not because we're lazy but because we're efficient!). Dante is an anthropologist by training and has traveled the world diving, climbing, and conducting research. Beatrice is a kinesiologist by training and is an avid Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner and educator. Together they have traveled extensively devouring life, culture, food, and libations. Join them on their journey of discovering new places and ideas that enhance their individual lives as well as their life together, and share how they can help you live a life without fear.
The discussion we have with these two is absolutely amazing and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it. We cover a wide array of experiences and topics including travel, adventure, infidelity, divorce, non-monogamy, maybe a little swinging, a touch of polyamory... You get the picture. Now get in here and have a listen!

Jade self-describes as a cyborg who combines provocative thought with moving furniture. Clearly, you're in for an interview that blends a sharp sense of humor with a powerful story. Beyond cyborg, Jade is a comedian, performer, and artist. We're excited and honored to share with you this conversation that gives us a glimpse of exploring love, dating, relationships, sex, and life from a perspective few of us have. Jade is also featured in the upcoming animated documentary "Romantic Chorus" which will be released in the end of January.

Chloe and Drew were such amazing guests that we decided to have them back a second time! It's not critical that you listen to their first episode (Ep 89) before listening to this one but it will provide some context. Their first episode resulted in a handful of listener emails concerned for Drew's wellbeing in the relationship. In this episode they address those concerns and talk about the incredible amount of growth they have both experienced in the last year. We also have a few laughs and maybe a tear or two... Enjoy!

Imani started exploring non-monogamy in 2013 when she was in a relationship that was fading out. Her and her partner decided to give it a try as a last ditch effort to save the relationship but it ended up not working out quite like that. Since then she has continued to explore and learn what works best for her. Her thoughtfulness and insight in this discussion is incredible and wide-ranging.
She is also the owner and creator of an online adult pleasure shop called Decadent d'Vices. It is incredible and we encourage you to check it out and use the offer code EMMA to save 20% at checkout!

Mistakes are inevitable and when they happen, communication is critical. Mariana and Rob are a young couple from Brazil who share their amazing story with us and prove that if you can communicate there is nothing you can't accomplish together. One of the other things we love about these two is that they prefer not to define their non-monogamous dynamic. As Rob says, the just do things and they try to understand them together.
Also! Mariana is the author of "A Color Named Love", the first children's book with polyamorous parents represented.

Emily and Matt both thought they were broken and not meant to be loved like everyone else. Then they met and together decided to openly explore their sexualities and non-monogamy and everything changed for them. It has been an amazing journey but definitely not one without some bumps along the way. In fact, they describe their first experience as a "trial by fire" and it is full of learning opportunities for everyone. They are amazing people who have grown so much together and we can't thank them enough for their vulnerability and willingness to share their story.

Rachael shares with us a powerful and beautiful story of self-discovery. She married at a young age and realized years later that she had never had the time to find who she was. At age 32 she had zero sex drive but figured that was just normal because she was "getting old..." Then she went to see the movie Wolverine and saw Hugh Jackman with his shirt off and it hit her that she needed to make some changes. Since then, she has separated from her high school sweetheart, learned a ton about herself, gotten involved in various polyamory and kink organizations, and even started her own publication on Medium called Polyamory Today. This interview covers so much ground and is super inspiring. Enjoy!
