Normalizing Non-Monogamy - Interviews in Polyamory and Swinging4 Sep 2024

Ep 356 - Andrea

Andrea grew up in a fairly conservative suburb and first came out in the queer and leather communities around 2000-2001 after joining the circus. For them, non-monogamy came as part of the queer and kinky package. Over the next decade-ish Andrea explored many different phases and configurations of kink and non-monogamy before a series of serious health issues turned their life upside down. These same health issues also robbed Andrea of their ability and capacity to relate in the same ways and to experience the same kinds of pleasure and enjoyment out of sex and kink as they had been able to for so long.

Today, Andrea takes us on their beautiful and powerful journey of finding the queer community, embracing their queerness and non-monogamy, and currently finding themself single and embracing the joys of solitude while still identifying with the ideologies of non-monogamy and being open to it in the future. This interview is incredibly deep and vulnerable and we hope you find it as inspiring as we did.

Besides hanging out on our podcast, Andrea is also an author. Rather than trying to recreate their bio, we have borrowed the following from their author page at Thornapple Press.

Andrea Zanin, MA, is a white, nonbinary, middle-aged queer writer who lives in Tkaronto (Toronto, Ontario), on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Andrea’s writing focuses on nonmonogamy and BDSM/Leather. Andrea has written for theGlobe and Mail, The Tyee, Bitch, Ms., Xtra, IN Magazine, Outlooks Magazine and the Montreal Mirror. Their scholarly work, fiction and essays appear in a variety of collections. Andrea blogs at sexgeek.wordpress.com, where they created the 10 Rules for Happy Nonmonogamy and coined the term “polynormativity.” Their first book, Post-nonmonogamy and Beyond, is available from Thornapple Press and they co-authored the second edition of More Than Two.

Ep 1 - The Vision + Our Journey

Ep 1 - The Vision + Our Journey

The very first episode of Normalizing Non-Monogamy! We updated this episode in November 2019. Don't worry, we still chat about our vision for the podcast, some notes about everything to come, and a bit of our 10+ year journey navigating the world of swinging and non-monogamy. However, it is also now in an interview format like the rest of our episodes! A.J. Bond, the host of Discomfortable, a podcast about shame, interviewed us about our experience with non-monogamy and we thought it was too good not to share on our channel too. This episode aired on his show in October 2019...   Show Notes   Check out A.J.'s Podcast Discomfortable   Discomfortable Episode 66: Getting Discomfortable with Non-Monogamy   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   Join Our Patreon Community!   Kasidie Online Dating   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/
