This Works for Me

As a young girl in Catholic school, Maria thought she'd become a nun. Instead she married young, started a family and a successful career. After the trauma of 911 and her husband falling ill, they both agreed Maria needed extracurricular relationships. Now in her 60's, Maria has a lover twenty years her junior, plus a married boyfriend she’s been seeing for over two decades. Hear her story of open monogamy, her views on sex, love and dating - and how confidence is the best aphrodisiac. In this special 9- Part series on Open Monogamy,  Dr. Tammy talks with individuals, couples, and a throuple, as they share their relationship stories, where they fall on the Monogamy Continuum, and how they define commitment.  Listen first hand, as average folks open up about their marriages, multiple partners, the difference between cheating and ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, happiness, and designing the sex and love lives that work for them. --Episodes will release every other week through October 3, 2024.WHERE DO YOU FALL ON THE MONOGAMY CONTINUUM?  Listen to the Series and Take the Quiz!Curious About Opening Your Relationship?  Visit the Open Monogamy Toolkit, andRead Dr. Tammy's Book OPEN MONOGAMY!MORE TROUBLE WITH SEX RESOURCES & INFORMATION:BECOME A CERTIFIED  SEX THERAPISTVisit ISTI - Integrative Sex Therapy Institute.  Find out how to receive your AASECT Sex Therapist Certification, or elevate your practice in relational psychotherapy by earning the new Certified Sex and Couples Therapist designation (CSCT).​ AASECT and CSCT renewal and re-certification classes are also offered.IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE WITH Getting the Sex You Want: Shed Your Inhibitions and Reach New Heights of Passion Together.LEARN MORE about marriage and how to redefine your commitment to each other in Dr. Tammy's TEDX talk - The New MonogamyInstagram @thetroublewithsex and doctor_tammynelson
