This week we are talking about relationship anarachy, what it means and what it is. This is based on the blog post Relationship Anarchy: A different approach by Screw Taboo
Shout outs
I spoke to a couple of other podcasters this week, they are great and worth talking to.
The Pageist
The Pageist has a podcast on BDSM and Sex-positive book reviews. This week she reviewed our website and podcast (always a little nerve wrecking). We are actually going to be on her show very soon. Make sure you check her out, even if you are not that interested in erotica. She covers a lot of non-fiction and a fair amount about herself, and is usually very funny.
Check out The Pageist podcast
Kinky Discussions
Kinky Discussions is much more focused on BDSM and the personal experiences of the hosts DC Bear and Tiger Stripes. They have a lot of fun talking about the topic very openly and honestly. Nothing is out of bounds but it is fun and approachable.
We had a great chat about education in the BDSM community and where it can be improved.
Check out their show or catch them on twitter.
Relationship Anarchy
A bit of a strange concept, but one that is worth understanding. Read the article (more then once) and dig into how you feel about it.
What is it
Basically it is all about approaching your relationships from the perspective that you can decide how you want them to be. There doesn’t have to be a primary relationship is you don’t want one to be, just as your other relationships (sexual or not) can also be very important to you.
You love isn’t deminished by loving more than one person.
The basic concept comes from a manifest put out by Andy Nordgren in 2006.
It says:
Love is abundant, and every relationship is unique Love and respect instead of entitlement Find your core set of relationship values Heterosexism is rampant and out there, but don’t let fear lead you Build for the lovely unexpected Fake it til’ you make it Trust is better Change through communication Customize your commitments
Post show rant
If you don’t know much about Star Wars Rebels then stop now as this is something of a spoiler. But is it right to bring actors back from the dead to star in films?
