71: N is for the Nine N Words You Need to Know

We’re back with another episode in our T&A Alphabet Series! Many earlier episodes were originally delivered as live trainings inside our Let’s Talk Polyamory private Facebook community. This one is a freshly re-recorded instalment — updated, expanded, and shaped by listener requests.

In this episode we are diving into the letter N with The Nine N Words You Need to Know!

We explore key “N” words that often come up in non-monogamous relationships. We talk about non-negotiables, the meaning and impact of names and titles, necrophilia, and neediness in relationships—when it can be a call for support and when it might negatively impact the connection.

We also cover nesting partners, the importance of the word no and recognizing both verbal and body-language cues, and what it looks like to normalize non-monogamy in everyday life.

Plus, we touch on numbers (a.k.a. body count of sexual partners) and nudism, and why these conversations matter.

This is a fun, thoughtful, and wide-ranging episode we know you’ll enjoy!
