Multiamory welcomes back our good friend Erik Nelson to help us discuss the excitements and challenges of maneuvering first dates within the context of Polyamory.  In this episode we encounter personal first date experiences, first date foibles, the do's and don'ts of successful first dates, cheap and fun first date ideas, and when the appropriate time is to discuss your polyamorous lifestyle on your first date.  We also provide some helpful tips for dealing with the barrage of questions you will inevitably get about polyamory on a first date, and how to tackle the glow of a great first date in a respectful manner around your current partners.

We are super excited to be interviewing Gracie X.  Gracie is a polyamorous author, director, actress, and mom of two kids.  She regularly contributes to The Huffington Post, and her new book Wide Open: My Adventures in Polyamory, Open Marriage, and Loving On My Own Terms just went on sale! We have a billion questions for her about being parent while also being poly.  Some of the things we cover include:

-- How much to communicate to your kids
-- Choosing whether or not to introduce new partners to your kids
-- Different poly family makeups
-- The benefits of communal living
-- Dealing with negative reactions from others, including her own personal experience dealing with a legal custody battle
-- Her one piece of advice for people who are interested both in being poly and in being parents!

You can find out more about Gracie and purchase her book on her website GracieX.com.

It's Multiamory's very first intercontinental episode!  Dedeker joins in from across the world and shares with us the ins and outs of dating and culture in Greece.  We also dig in to the complexities surrounding the word "slut."  How do different people use the word?  Is it still derogatory, or has it been successfully reclaimed as a term of empowerment?

Our discussion was inspired by This Article that was sent to us by our fan Krystee!

Let's talk about sex, baby

Let's talk about you and me

Let's talk all the good things and the bad things that may be...

When you talk about sex with your partners!

How do you talk to your partner about the sex you're having with other people?  How much should you share and how much should be left to be mysterious?  This isn't a conversation that many people are already comfortable with, so we dig in to the reasons for hesitation as well as strategies for being able to communicate about your sex life clearly and confidently.

This episode is a grab bag!  We throw our normal show format to the wind, and bring you a variety of thrilling discussions.  We dig in to dog-walker porn, statistics about marriage, the prevalence (or complete lack) of bisexual women on OkCupid, and try to figure out what the hell "legalized cheating" means.
