What if monogamy isn’t the only path to a fulfilling relationship? Join us for an enlightening and candid conversation on Super Sex, where we examine the evolving landscape of monogamy and its alternatives. We navigate the intricacies of commitment to one partner at a time, the default cultural expectations surrounding monogamous relationships, and the importance of discussing and embracing various relationship structures openly. The episode also sheds light on alternative styles like polygamy, polyamory, monogamish, swinging, open relationships, and relationship anarchy, highlighting their increasing acceptance in today’s society.
Take a step back in time as we compare historical dating norms to the complexities introduced by modern dating apps. This episode delves into the biological and cultural underpinnings of monogamy, survival mechanisms that influenced human pair bonding, and the rarity of monogamy in the animal kingdom—all of which resonate in current divorce rates and infidelity trends. The conversation also touches on how societal structures and legal systems have historically promoted monogamy, influenced by factors such as Christianity and inheritance law, and the need for more inclusive recognition of diverse family structures.
Finally, we unravel the many myths surrounding consensual non-monogamy (CNM). From the concept of compersion to the necessity of clear communication and trust, we challenge misconceptions like CNM being purely sexual or leading to higher rates of STIs. We also explore the different journeys of straight and gay individuals in navigating relationships, with a focus on the more fluid paths often seen in the LGBTQ+ community. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion that promises to broaden your understanding of what modern relationships can be.
