Hey guys! I thought I’d share a link from a listener who was inspired by Episode 8 of Pedestrian Polyamory, our interview with Franklin Veaux, to write in with his thoughts on polyamory and rationality: Shira, .. I came to choose to be nonmogamous (in my case somewhere between a swinger and poly) by way of rationity. I found the rational and poly online communities at about the same time after developing similar views on my own. On one of the biggest rationality sites, lesswrong.com, some of the contributors have even put forth polyamory as a rational ideal. They even [...]

Shira and Gavin talk about breaking up.. don’t worry, not with each other. Not yet, anyways. Whether you’ve gone against Shira’s advice and broken some hearts, or if you have a broken heart and want to get over it, give this show a listen because Shira talks about what different types of poly break-ups look like and how to cope with them whether you’re a breaker upper, break uppee or an innocent bystander. Before getting into that incredibly uplifting topic, Shira and Gavin talk about how spending the holidays with the in-laws went after having recently come out of the closet and slutty, slutty poly folks.

Hey Listeners! The HPV episode is still inspiring some pretty great listener mail. Here is another note from a thoughtful listener:   Morning Shira, – Gavin mentioned that it’s the obligation of someone who has an STI to share that information and while I wholeheartedly agree with that, I think that it’s more important to take control of the situation. What I mean by that is don’t rely on someone else to bring up the topic as there people who feel uncomfortable talking about the subject, especially if they have an STI. What I do is always bring it up; [...]

Hoo, boy! The Katz have gone and stirred up some trouble. In episode 6 of Pedestrian Polyamory Gavin and I talked about HPV, HSV1 & HSV2; discussing dirty details and facts as well as our personal struggle in figuring out how to date people affected by these STI’s. We got quite the explosive (and awesome!) response, some of which we shared on episode 7. In an effort to not talk about HPV and HSV on the show nonstop for months (believe me, we could!), we’re going to start picking up the conversation here. We’ll start off with a really awesome [...]
