Ep 393 - Megan + Brett: Round 2

We absolutely love Jeff's approach to life. You'll hear throughout the conversation how he is always up for new adventures and looking at the world in a new way. His positivity and willingness to learn new things is inspirational and extends far beyond his exploration of non-monogamy. We're really excited to get his story out into the world and hope you enjoy it.   Jeff is also a filmmaker and the director of a new animated documentary called Romantic Chorus that is premiering online the weekend of January 29 - 31, 2021. The film explores monogamy (and non-monogamy), sex, fear, and technology through the stories of 21 different people's lives. It is incredible and we hope you check it out and support this amazing work.

Tessa and Amir have been together for over 30 years and opened their relationship just about a decade ago. The discussion with them is all about enjoying the journey in life. Their first exposure to non-monogamy was when a friend told them they should check out a swinger's club because the dancing was great and the rest is history! Over the years their dynamic and approach has evolved but they haven't stopped enjoying the adventure together.   If you love what these two have to say, you're definitely going to want to check out their new podcast https://theopennesters.com!   Check out the full show notes here.

Krista and Brendan are a couple of 30 somethings who met at band camp in high school and have pretty much been together ever since. Early on in their relationship they began having conversations about non-monogamy and even had an occasional serendipitous threesome along the way. A few years back they dove in a little deeper and started having the conversation again which led them to exploring a variety of dynamics including swinging and friends with benefits before arriving at "kitchen table poly." Find out what exactly that means to them, how to build an incredible polycule, and much more in this amazing conversation.   If you love what these two have to say as much as we did you're definitely going to want to check out their blog over at https://www.polyinplace.com/ ! It's amazing work and a beautiful website as well!   Check out the full show notes here.   Please leave us a voicemail with your blooper or best part of 2020!!

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!   Check out the full show notes here.   Please leave us a voicemail with your blooper or best part of 2020!!

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.
