What Happened When We Opened Our Relationship

from Beauty in the Break · host Cesar Cardona & Foster Wilson

They’re open! Cesar and Foster ask “what does ethical non-monogamy (ENM) actually look like in a committed relationship?” They open up about their journey into exploring an open relationship structure, challenging traditional ideas about monogamy, possession, and what it means to truly choose your partner every day. From Cesar's past of promiscuity to Foster's demisexual identity, they discuss why they don't believe in owning each other, how exploring outside their relationship actually strengthened their bond, and why keeping sexuality in the shadows can really backfire. This episode tackles body counts without shame, the freedom of non-possession in relationships, and why both partners deserve the space to be fully themselves without judgment.In this episode they explore: Foster and Cesar’s shocking body count revealThe philosophy shift: "I don't own you" and what it means for loveWhy keeping sexuality in shadows versus light changes everythingThe unexpected way non-monogamy strengthened their bond instead of breaking itWhy ethical non-monogamy requires letting go of possession entirelyIf this episode spoke to you, you will love So…Sexuality Isn’t Simple where we share our pansexuality and demisexual identities.
