I had SO MUCH FUN recording this episode with Dr. NerdLove!!!

Lily Allen wrote a whole album about her “open” marriage, and listen, when we catch you, David Harbour. 🤬

Okay, we’re not actually coming for him, because does the job perfectly. But we do have thoughts about:
🎵 under pressure
🎵 People pleasing and pressure to consent
🎵 All the Nice Guy PR Harbour was hiding behind

On Episode 3 of Do As We Say, Not As They Did Podcast, we go song by song through Allen’s breakup masterpiece (if you haven’t listened to it yet, what are you doing?!) and unpack what happens when this “open” relationship just becomes an excuse for selfishness.

It's Jojo! 🐶 She truly is the best and most im-paws-ibly cute roommate I could ever have! 💜

Say it with me: consent is the BARE MINIMUM! You wouldn't celebrate a chef for washing their hands after going to the bathroom, so why are we celebrating folks for doing the one thing that guarantees you and your play partner are ready to start playing? 👀

I talk about consent and all the other basics of building healthy, ethical open relationships in my book, Building Open Relationships.

If you want to open up your relationship style or could use some extra support in your poly journey, Building Open Relationships is here to be your no BS, hands-on guide!

It's full of my personal experiences, both as Dr. Liz, a play-positive psychologist, and a young poly person who made quite a few mistakes in their journey. 😉

The more we want things to stay the same, the more it’s going to hurt when they don’t. If you’re looking to open up your relationship, it’s better to think about it as a break-up and restructuring than simply inviting more people in.

Cis, straight, and monogamous culture has given us so many assumptions and expectations about relationships that you probably don’t even realize all of them.

When you deviate from that culture, you’ll start to be confronted by a lot of biases. You’re going to have to change, your partner will change. And that’s okay! 💜

When you accept change, it’s a whole lot easier and less painful to move forward.

Do you ever wish your partner could just read your mind in and out of the bedroom? If you feel awkward about asking for what you want or asking for things in a way that keeps the mood super hot, mind-reading would be so much easier.

But, it would also take away your erotic voice (and I know you've got one)! 💋

Communication in the bedroom doesn't have to be scary or daunting; it should be an exciting part of your play time that makes sure you and your partner have the satisfying experience you deserve!

And that's what I'm here to help you with! When you join Your Erotic Voice, I'll help you:
✨ Ask for what you want before, during, and after play time
✨ Identify your turn-ons
✨ Practice saying your yes and no with love

You can get instant access to the entirely self-paced, online course using the link below! 🥵

I always say, there are as many ways to do polyamory as there are people doing it. And still, the chances of finding a unicorn are probably the same chances as finding a magical horse with a horn... pretty much 0. 😉

A unicorn is someone (usually a woman), who is okay being the third for a (most likely) straight couple. The unicorn will join the existing relationship, is attracted equally to the couple, and is also okay with having less say and autonomy in the relationship.

Call me radical, but I think everyone in a relationship should get an equal say in that relationship! And attraction isn’t something you can force or make 50/50.

And being in a closed triad? That’s Olympic-level polyamory.

So why do people keep hunting for unicorns? In my latest video, I talk about how the elusive unicorn is the closest thing to maintaining hetero and mono-normativity in a poly relationship, why it usually doesn’t work, and why you’ll probably never actually find a unicorn. 🦄

Have you ever heard of a unicorn before? And no, I'm not talking about the horse with a horn, though I am talking about something just as mythical and unlike...

This is your friendly reminder that you should always be working toward using people's correct pronouns! It's a simple way to show people that you acknowledge them. I know for myself that finding the language that best described how I felt was its own journey, and it is still very invalidating when I get misgendered to this day.

If you aren't sure of someone's pronouns, ASK THEM! 🙌
