Metamour Than You Bargained For

While most of the world views polyamory as "a bunch of degenerats engaging in sexual greed", they are blind to the huge number of asexual people who find fulfilling relationships within the framework of polyamory. Asexuality is a spectrum, and it is different to each person who experiences it. Let's talk about some of the drama, and some of the joy.Rose's AO3, which gets several mentions today, can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/rosasynstylae/Note: we originally uploaded this with some production nonsense at the beginning of the track. Or did we? You heard nothing! (Our apologies for the inconvenience.)

Dating is never easy, but dating when most of the pool of potential partners views you as an "elder" comes with unique challenges. What do you do, when you've already dated everyone that is age appropriate? Spoiler alert - the answer is not "start dating the twenty-year olds", gentlemen...

Welcome to our Bonus Content! These episodes are a little off the standard in that they focus on the spaces within the Venn Diagram between Nonmonogamy and another activity or culture. Today, we are talking about D&D! Party dynamics and polycule dynamics have a lot more in common than you would think, and you'd be surprised how much a Session 0 can help your Table-Top Polycule.

Dating while neurodivergent is tricky. Polyamory while neurodivergent is even harder. Fortunately we've got Lyn and...well, Lyn, to break down stories of success and failure in the space, as well as answer that age old question, "Should I trust the conventionally attractive neurotypical person who seems to be hitting on me?"Apologies for the late upload, folks. As Sloane makes her way through the immigration process, time management is getting tricky.

Being polyamorous often requires a bunch of therapy and effort. So you would think it would all be smooth sailing for this therapist and her five person polycule, right? As it turns out, even the roughest waters are navigable when you're partnered with a competent and communicative crew.

Lots of things shift through our lives. Boundaries, desires, and gender identities. The best thing we can do for ourselves in any situation is to stay true to the person we aspire to be. Being polyamorous makes it easy to find ourselves entangled with strong personalities. How do you stand up for yourself, when you're still learning who you are?Join our Patrons, and get in on the drama!https://www.patreon.com/MetamourPod For more information, check out our Beacons page. https://beacons.ai/metamourpod Metamour Than You Bargained for is a polyamorous podcast where we take stories from the internet and pour the tea on all of the drama.

Interrupting your regularly scheduled polyamorous relationship content - this is Lyn Lawless coming at you raw and unedited. As y'all saw we did not get an episode uploaded yesterday and I'm very sorry about that. We encountered some technical difficulties and by that I mean Sloane's computer was put out of comission by rain and cat hair - but she's trying to get her computer repaired while in a foreign country so I'm sure y'all can understand how troublesome that is. Thank you so much for bearing with us. I promise the episode is done, we just have to find a way to get it uploaded from a dead computer. Please remember to like, share and subscribe so that we can keep this momentum going after we get this sorted out. Also, let me give y'all a secret little update about our patreon and when we will have episodes coming out weekly...

Today we are living La Vida Loca with Evita Sawyers, author sensation and ENM inspiration. Real ENM isn't always pretty, but it's worth it in the end.
