Which fork should you use on a first polyamorous date? Do you have to let your partner be the little spoon all the time? We pondered these and other burning questions in the Finale episode of Season Three.

Srsly though, here's the etiquette and advice we gathered for this episode, if you don't want to listen to 80 mins of our charming banter:

  1. Let your partners consent into information about your interactions with other partners (esp sexy stuff)
  2. Be careful of collecting too many partners/spreading yourself too thin. 
  3. Try not to over-curate yourself. Be authentically who you are and let partners meet you there.
  4. Everyone is tender. Treat them as human, not just means to the experiences you want. 
  5. Take responsibility for ending relationships when they aren't working anymore. Be kind but direct.
  6. Be honest up front about your capacity. Talk about the parameters of the relationship early and often.
  7. Make sure your partners know how 'out' as poly you are (so you don't embarass them when you run into acquaintances in public together).
  8. Seek deeper connections, rather than more; the relationships that you're yearning for might be the ones that you're already in.
