Being Open to Open Monogamy with Tammy Nelson

Tammy Nelson, PhD, is a licensed psychotherapist, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified Sex Therapist, and a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist. She is a TEDx speaker and the host of The Trouble with Sex podcast. Her six books include Getting the Sex You Want, The New Monogamy, and her latest work, Open Monogamy.
In this podcast, Dr. Nelson joins host Tami Simon for an informative and inspiring conversation about the emerging new definition of monogamy as people look beyond traditional marriage to find long-term happiness and fulfillment. Tami and Dr. Nelson also discuss the monogamy continuum-and how to talk about it with your partner; Dr. Nelson’s view that all consensual agreements between consenting adults should be normalized; “second adolescence” and opening relationships for the wrong reasons; engaging in “what if” conversations; why there’s never a coincidence in the partners that you choose; the pandemic’s impact on our sex lives and intimate relationships; monogamy and non-monogamy throughout the developmental phases of relationships; fear, trust, safety, and risk-taking; eroticism and self-awareness; the new terminology of open monogamy; and much more.

Monogamy is a lost art in society bc most lack relationship competency. Sadly, we see such a decline in efficacy of self.

[@kenofken9458]

I'm all for consensual non-monogamy and have lived it for many years. Not sure how I feel about the need to come up with new terms like "open monogamy." Isn't that a bit like omnivorous veganism?

[@bellaflora.]

I couldn’t even actually listen to this. As a traumatized person (C-ptsd) the whole idea just feels like horrific abandonment.

Honestly same…

I trust that Haniel will assist me in connecting with my emotions and my spiritual gifts. And I know that she will guide me in developing my psychic gifts as well.

You can rent a home or buy one. Pros and cons to both.

[@martaska1436]

This is not for me. I would be able to do it but pros would not outweigh cons. I agree with one part 100%, that this is indeed going to be more and more popular in the future.
