It’s Open (Relationship) Season w/ Dr. Wednesday Martin

<p>Let’s talk about non-monogamy! In the nearly two decades since I’ve been doing the show, I’ve <em>never</em> gotten so much interest in this topic as I am right now. Which is why I’m joined today by cultural anthropologist Dr. Wednesday Martin, who in addition to researching non-monogamy for her books and articles, has first-hand experience opening up her own marriage. </p><br><p>On today’s episode, Wednesday reveals what modern sex research shows about female sexuality and long-term, monogamous relationships: a woman’s desire typically wanes between year 1 to 4. In addition, Wednesday and I discuss the difference between non-monogamy, swinging and polyamory, how to go about finding a partner outside of your primary relationship, how to set rules, and the surprising ways opening up improved her own partnership. </p><br><p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p><ul><li>More Wednesday Martin: <a href="http://wednesdaymartin.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wednesdaymartinphd/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/wednesdaymartin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzi_xRw8m-fPOddo5OXD3iA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youtube</a></li><li><a href="http://wednesdaymartin.com/books/untrue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Untrue </em>by Wednesday Martin</a></li><li><a href="https://sexwithemily.com/7-myths-of-non-monogamy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">7 Myths of Non-Monogamy</a></li><li><a href="https://feeld.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Feeld</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1128665.Opening_Up" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Opening Up </em>by Tristan Taormino</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56614552-open-monogamy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Open Monogamy: A Guide to Co-Creating Your Ideal Relationship Agreement</em> by Tammy Nelson</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54944.The_Ethical_Slut" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/60267874-open-deeply" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Open Deeply: A Guide to Building Conscious, Compassionate Open Relationships</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48651547-crazy-on-the-inside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Crazy on the Inside: A Memoir of Nobody Special</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/52569124-polysecure" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Non Monogamy</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60762262-the-anxious-person-s-guide-to-non-monogamy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy: Your Guide to Open Relationships, Polyamory and Letting Go</em></a></li><li><a href="http://v/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory</em></a></li></ul><p> </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
