Part 2: The Parental Unit

We continue the conversation with my parents! We dive further into the book Sex at Dawn, finish chatting about how my parents felt as they watched Mike and I navigate our new relationship style, and philosophize (my new favorite word) even more!

Specific topics include:

Are we monogamous by nature? Or have we chosen monogamy because of societal programming?
Are we “going against our nature” by being monogamous?
My parent’s thoughts and reactions when I first started dating other people.
Mike’s dating life, or lack there of, and how we don’t “keep score” when it comes to dating and meeting new partners. Mike is going at his own pace.
Could sexual relationships with multiple partners lead to resentment in relationships?
Is it hard to meet other people who are polyamorous on dating apps or out in social situations?
Our thoughts on polyamory becoming more popular in the future and why.
Most people who are dating are practicing non-monogamy.
Would my parents consider polyamory if they were 20 again? Now that they know what they know?
There aren’t many examples of non-monogamy that are widely seen that are portrayed in a positive light. We need more representation in this area.
Will Mike and I always be non-monogamous?
