Episode 2 – Our Love Is What We Make of It

What this episode covers

Our guest is the super epic badass, Diana Adams, who is a lawyer for non-traditional families’ rights and longterm activist for sexual freedom between consenting adults. Diana shares about her work in helping people create intentional partnerships and families and gives a sort of State of Sexual-Freedom-Rights Address. Questions/discussions about what to do when you want an open relationship but your partner does not, resources for buying sex toys, ways of figuring out what you are into, and “going with the flow” versus the potential steaminess/profundity of using words to communicate about your desires, and more. Also, tour updates and a feminist anthem from Love Songs for the Rest of Us. — Here are some links and resources from this episode: Ideas, legal and otherwise!

We have this historical baggage about women being in a sexual relationship in exchange for financial support during their mothering years and I think that’s dangerous. I’m interested in supporting people while the law is catching up.” -Diana Adams in an interview with 14karatliving.com “ Date your own species. ” – Reid Mihalko Uncategorizable!
