Update: Since this event passed, you can search the archive of the Tweets and conversation here. The chat was on FIRE, and the amount of responses definitely gave us all a finger workout.
Non-monogamy can be a tricky beast, and I want you to tell me what you think about it. Join me at 3 PM EST on Twitter next week when I’ll be guest moderator for #SexTalkTuesday and the topic is (you guessed it): navigating consensual non-monogamy!
NOTE: We are not just talking about polyamory. This is about the broad umbrella of consensual non-monogamy, so if you’re monogamish, have a steady boo but also a cadre of play partners, are curious about having more than one sexy-friend in general, identify as asexual but have multiple romantic sweeties, the list goes on, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
I believe in the deeply transformative and revolutionary power of both sex and technology, so doing things like this? That mix both to create dialogue and spread knowledge? You can always count me in, and I hope I can count you in too. You can stay for as long or as little of the conversation as you want, and you can check out the archived tweets after the event as well.
