Listen to this great conversation I had with Janice Formichella about Peeling Back the Myths of Polyamory on her "Sex and the Solo Girl" podcast! 👉 Listen here:
janiceformichella.com/sex-an…
Some highlights:
1/ Why polyamory matters right now: it’s more than a dating style — it’s a lens on how culture, technology, and values about intimacy are shifting. Here’s a quick deep dive into its social dimensions and what it reveals about who we are and how we love.
8/ Takeaway: Whether someone practices polyamory or not, the movement prompts useful questions: How do we talk about needs? How do we build trust? What structures make relationships sustainable and just?
I have a new piece out in Scientific American based on my polyamory research. Here's a link to read it without a subscription.

I find it fascinating how angry people get about the idea of Dissociative Identity Disorder. It makes it challenging to have any sort of constructive conversation on the topic. I think the out-of-proportion anger says something profound about our culture.
