Welcome to the third instalment of ourT&A Alphabet Serieswhere we tackle big topics one letter at a time (and throw in some laughs along the way). Originally broadcast as live trainings in ourLet’s Talk Polyamory private Facebook Community and on YouTube, this episode is all about theletter C!
We kick things off with the most obvious C-word:Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM). We break down what it is and explore11 different CNM relationship styles—from monogamish to swinging, open relationships, polyamory, and relationship anarchy. Not sure which style fits you best? We’ve got a handy worksheet for that -https://worksheet.letstalkpolyamory.com/cnmstyle
Of course, no discussion of C-words would be complete withoutcommunication, communication, and… you guessed it, more communication! We dive into why talking about all the things (yes,all the things) is the key to making non-monogamy work.
And then there’scookies—because what’s an episode without a little sweetness? 🍪 What do cookies have to do with polyamory? You’ll have to listen to find out.
Sprinkled throughout, we’ve got bonus C-words from ourLet’s Talk Polyamory community, including:✨ The “underrated sexiness” of Canadians 🍁✨ The power ofcock-fidence 😉✨ And, of course, deliciouslysexy French pastries that start with C!
🔥COMING IN 2025: Many of the terms and insights from this series will be featured in our upcoming book,The Little Book of Poly Love! A playful, visual, and accessible guide to navigating non-monogamy, relationships, and identity. Want to be the first to know when it’s out?
