Back in April, Helen Croydon’s New Statesman article entitled “Screw The Fairytale” sparked quite some heated debate from vociferous defenders of the ideal exclusive lifelong partnership. I too have faced occasionally challenging and often fascinating questions as I have toured my comedy show posing the question: Is Monogamy Dead? Yet I’ve come to realize that …
FEBRUARY 26, 2014 ~ It’s out: “The Ethical Slut, an Alternative Love Story,” the webseries. Remember filmmaker Ben Fritz’s Kickstarter campaign last year for his Ethical Slut webseries? Now you can watch all of Season 1. . Filmed in Madison, Wisconsin, it’s “inspired by” the classic poly and open-relationship guidebook by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy (and has their …
I discovered I was polyamorous in 1990 when I fell in love with Ed,a man I met on the internet. He was married. So was I. We fell in love with each other but not out of love with our spouses and felt awful, at first, then came to understand through internet groups and research …

Just for fun, I decided to conduct a poll to see what are the top 10 poly problems. Since humor is often the best way to rise above our polyamory problems and see ourselves in a new light, I hope you don’t take this post too seriously. I asked my fans on Facebook and Twitter …

ARE WE REALLY MONO-POLY? by Janet Kira Lessin Doctors Hal and Sidra Stone teach us that we have many “voices” within ourselves. We each have our own set of voices, be they the Inner Critic, the Inner Child, the Inner Pope, the Inner Aphrodite or any of a myriad possible combinations. At different times these …
forward from Poly Pipeline.com Merry-go-rounds, monkey bars, slides, seesaws, bridges and swings. Everyone had their preferred play structure at the park; do you remember yours? Mine was the swing; I loved flying through the air, feeling weightless and free. The swings of the playground bring back great childhood memories. But more than a rope and …
forward from Poly Pipeline.com I recently watched the latest episode of Wife Swap* (which, admittedly, I wouldn’t usually watch if you strapped me into a dildo machine and gave me Godiva chocolate).
