Unicorns & Unicorn Hunting: Can It Be Ethical?
Listen now
Description
🦄Unicorns… mythical creatures or real?  In this episode we talk about UNICORNS in the context of consensual non-monogamy and if if  UNICORN HUNTING can be done in a way that defies this stereotype so that it’s ethical, consensual and feels good for all parties involved! The term unicorn-hunting typically describes the practice of an established couple searching for a third person to engage in either threesomes or triads. You may have seen such couples stating they are “looking for a third”. Often this is a heterosexual couple looking to add a bisexual woman to their relationship who is equally attracted to both of them and interested in whatever arrangement that couple has in mind. Where this can end up being a less than favourable arrangement, in particular for the unicorn, and why searching for a third gets a bad rap is because of the unequal power dynamic that can exist in some cases. Having said this, there are those that LOVE being a unicorn when the conditions are right.  We talk about this and the results of a survey we did of our Let’s Talk Polyamory community members on this controversial topic.

Sex... we love it, we want it, and, for many, it is part of our "why" behind being consensually non-monogamous in the first place.   Having said that, if we've been intimate, or in a relationship, with someone for a longer period of time, things can sometimes feel a little stale.  At the same...
