How to ask for an open relationship

If you think you might want an open relationship—or to change how you structure your open relationship—you’re probably trying to figure out exactly when and how to talk to your partner about that. I get it. That was me 16 years ago. And I was terrified. But if I hadn’t gathered the courage to have that first conversation, none of the past 16 years would be possible. In this episode, I’m going to teach you how.You’ll learn the 4 Ws and an H of asking to opening up: Why, When, Where, How, and What.Yes, it’s a different order than the usual “5 Ws and an H” — you’ll see why in the episode ;)If you’re considering opening up or navigating an open (or open-ish) relationship and you want to talk about sex and outside connections more comfortably, expand your sex life, reduce tension and confusion, and create shared agreements that actually work in real life, then I want to invite you to enroll in Relationshift—we start June 15. This 9-week program is designed to fast track your desires—getting you talking easier, fighting less, fucking more, and overall having a fuller, more alive, more honest relationship and erotic life.
