“Hey Cooper… tell us how you really feel!” “Well alright then.” We’ve discussed organized religion and how it’s affected our own relationship with sexuality, how it influences our community as a whole and… at times, indelicately pointed out where we take issue with its monopoly on morality and its right to judge what’s acceptable and what’s not.

Not all of you have been listening weekly for three years (probably… maybe) so by extension, not all of you know how we got here and what we lived through before we discovered these lifestyles we lead. So I’m Dylan, and I’m telling you my story, now. It’s long, I spend the first ten minutes talking about pubescent erections but it all leads somewhere, and if you’re interested… I’ll take you on my little journey through the dark ages of my own sexuality and into my non-monogamy.

She joins us for a conversation on how to be Ā a parent and straddle the line between too soon and not soon enough. We discuss the advantages and hurdles children may encounter when coming up against an aggressively monogamist society, and all in all, how to stay sex positive.
