Why is Non-Monogamy still Taboo?
from Viva La Vulva LA Hosted by Cara Quant
Why is Non-Monogamy Still Taboo? In this segment from our throwback episode with Dr. Joli Hamilton, we dig into why non-monogamy still carries so much stigma — even as more people quietly explore it. Dr. Hamilton, a relationship coach and research psychologist, unpacks the cultural scripts that keep monogamy positioned as the "default" and everything else as a deviation, and why that framing doesn't hold up under scrutiny. We talk through the double standards, the assumptions about jealousy and commitment, and what actually changes when couples give themselves permission to question the rules they inherited. A short but pointed listen for anyone curious about where the taboo comes from — and why it's worth challenging.
