What's the Fuss with Polyamory?
Listen now
Description
Polyamory began to capture popular discourse in the 90s, seemingly as an echo of the free love movements of the 1960's, another time when cultural norms were being questioned. Today, polyamory seems to be taking up attention as marriage and monogamy are increasingly being found to not satisfy. Some say we are naturally poly- looking to enjoy sexual relations with as many partners as possible, others say nature or God requires us to commit to one person; Each side utilising the " it's natural" line of argument. In reality, human sexual and emotional connections have changed shape over different cultural epochs proving that man is in fact, a creature capable of " going against nature". In today's episode, I share what I've found about the poly amorous approach to life and what it can teach us about how we think of love.
