Hey sex fans,

Sheeee’s BACK!  That’s right, kids; the master (or mistress, if you please) of all things polyamory — the delightful and oh so wise, Cunning Minx, is here again to finish the conversation we began at this time last week.

Gauging from the comments I’ve received about last week’s podcast, you’ve been chomping on the bit, as have I, for her speedy return with more of her exceptional Sex EDGE-U-cation.

But wait, did you somehow miss Part 1 of this insightful lesson on polyamory?  Well, not to worry, buckaroos!  Last week’s podcast, like all my podcasts, is archived right here on my site.  All ya gotta do is use the search function in the sidebar to your right; type in Podcast #163 and Voilà!  But don’t forget to include the #sign when you search.

Minx and I discuss:

  • How poly differs from plural marriage and polygamy.
  • Blurred lines between poly and swinging.
  • Swinging a heterosexual phenomenon.
  • Social monogamy, pair bonding, and extra-pair coupling.
  • Evolving attitudes toward poly in the popular culture.
  • The connection between being poly and other sexual expressions.
  • Advice for coming out as poly.
  • Finding poly-friendly healing and helping professionals.
  • Poly resources:  What, like, two girlfriends? and Polyamory In The News.

Sex EDGE-U-cation with Cunning Minx – Podcast #163 – 10/28/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Today I have the pleasure of welcoming an international celebrity; a woman I’ve admired, albeit from afar, for ages.  She is a highly sought-after speaker on the subject of polyamory.  That’s probably because, not only is she exceptionally well informed on the topic, she also has a wicked sense of humor.  She is the founder polyweekly.com and host of its wildly popular podcast series.  One, I might add, that has been running continuously for nearly 5 years.  That, my friends, is staying power!

My guest is none other than the charming and vivacious, Cunning Minx.  If you know anything about polyamory, you will at least recognize her name.  However, it’s much more likely that you are a huge fan of this amazing woman, just like me.

I happily turn the tables on Minx in today’s program.  Instead of assuming her traditional role as podcast host, she is my guest.  And she adds her unique voice in the ever-growing chorus of prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles that we call the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series.

Minx and I discuss:

  • The Pacific Northwest as a hotbed of perversion.
  • The Polyweekly podcasts; going strong since 2005.
  • Tales from the front of responsible non-monogamy from a pansexual, kink-friendly point of view.
  • Her private life and relationship with her ex, Graydancer.
  • Her site as a clearinghouse for all things poly.
  • How she got the name, Cunning Minx.
  • Dating within the poly community.
  • Some younger gay men’s perception of polyamory.
  • A working definition of polyamory.
