In Part 2 we continue our deep dive into the complex world of sex, relationships, and the taboos that shape them.

Today’s episode is all about the letter K! We bring you: K is for Kink, Kitchen Table Polyamory & Kissing + Other K Words

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

Do labels in non-monogamy give you clarity—or do they feel like a box you don’t want to fit into?

Labels in non-monogamy—love them or hate them, they’re everywhere. For some people, labels bring clarity and a sense of belonging. For others, they feel restrictive or unnecessary. The truth? Whether labels are important is a personal choice.

In this short but powerful episode from our Let’s Talk Polyamory Facebook group archives (saved ...

Sometimes the best place for a relationship check-in isn’t over coffee or at the kitchen table—it’s in the car, somewhere between snack stops and scenic views. 🚗✨

June is 🏳️‍🌈Pride Month in many parts of the world, including here in Toronto, where we've proudly participated in both official and unofficial Pride events over the years—including walking in the parade.

In 1997, psychologists Arthur Aron and Elaine Aron published the results of a study in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin exploring how emotional intimacy between strangers could be accelerated through structured vulnerability. Their method? A series of 36 questions, divided into three sets that become increasingly personal—and it worked.

The list became more widely known in 2015 when writer Mandy Len Catron shared her e...

Jealousy… no one wants to feel it, and many of us hope if we ignore it, it’ll just go away. But like going to the dentist, it’s something that’s good for you—and like a cavity, jealousy has to be addressed.

Ep 16) Is It Time To Deescalate My Relationship - and yet there were still some skeptics!

And now, over 365 days ...

You’ve opened up your relationship or decided to explore non-monogamy, and at first, you’re excited — until BOOM — you're hit with a wave of feelings: jealousy, insecurity, anger, hurt...

You pump the brakes and set up rules to try to protect yourself and your partners from all this discomfort.
