Description: Shownotes: http://orgasmicdiscourses.com/ep5-open-relationships In my 5th podcast episode I dive into a highly controversial topic with Raffaello Manacorda of Fragments of Evolution: Open Relationships. Obviously there is a paradigm shift happening in relationships. It’s quite interesting to note that in the US alone, 44% of the population are no longer resonating with the classic model of dating, marrying, getting kids, having sex within the context of a monogamous relationship. Raffaello has been living for over 10 years in quite an open-minded community in Spain, where open relationships are “normal”. He is intrigued by the topic and has been interviewing people who are living in alternative relationship models (including me). His plan is to offer an Open Relationship Workshop in Thailand (and maybe also around the world), for people who are interested in making the seemingly impossible possible. A much needed workshop, I believe. In this episode, we go into detail about: • Raffaello’s personal experiences of coming from a monogamous relationship and starting to live in a polyamory community, where Open Relationships are normal and routine. • What’s the hardest bit in conducting an Open Relationship? • Why this can be so freakin scary. • Why it’s such a beautiful relationship concept but simultaneously scarcely accepted in society? • Some down-to-earth tips: What are the most important things to consider before heading into an Open Relationship? • Where is the fine line between helpful rules (especially in the beginning) and being overly controlling. • What the term, “detached love” means. • What’s the biggest learning lesson in an Open Relationship?
