Open Marriages – The Mark Forrest Show

On May 21, 2013

Here’s a cut of all the audio pertaining to the open-relationship discussion from the Mark Forrest Show on May 14th ’13.

I live-tweeted a stream of vitriol towards the totally-off-topic discussion of infidelity and affairs, the screamingly blatant sexism, and the shameless fact-avoidance of many contributors but, for once, I shall spare you. After all, [...]

On Ink, My Skin, And You..

On May 17, 2013

An open letter to the men of London, specifically male cashiers and baristas..

Dear, … Oh I’m terribly sorry – I don’t appear to know you?

I don’t know your name or how to address you, this is awkward!

Where to begin? I couldn’t be more clueless as to your mood or state of [...]

BBC Radio – Non-Monogamy Drinkalong!

On May 14, 2013

I’ve agreed to speak about non-monogamy on tonight’s ‘Mark Forrest Evening Show’ live across 39 Local BBC radio stations.

AMA: Ask Me Anything.

On May 12, 2013

People often stop me to ask me questions – be it social enterprise, polyamory, tattoos or something else. Generally, if asked appropriately, I’m happy to explain. (Read my answers here!)

Confusing Monogamy With Morality.

On May 12, 2013

Non-monogamy defines itself by exclusion. To understand it, we need to understand monogamy.

Most of us will believe we have a strong idea of what monogamy entails – but do we really? A recent study by Warren & Harvey (2011) concluded that fewer than 30% of self-defining “monogamous” couples had ever discussed what monogamy means [...]

R̶u̶n̶ ̶A̶ ̶M̶a̶r̶a̶t̶h̶o̶n̶ ✓

On April 24, 2013

I’ve talked about the ‘why’, and Lori blogged beautifully about the ‘for whom’, so all that remains to be said is how it went!

I ran a largely comfortable marathon! At a touch over 6 hours it wasn’t a ‘good’ time by any serious runner’s standard but despite losing almost 8 weeks [...]

Public BDSM Play and the Fourth Wall.

On March 11, 2013

Anyone who engages in safe BDSM play knows all too well the importance of good communication, negotiation and careful observation.

Any ‘scene’ that is embarked upon needs to have a huge range of security measures in operation. For experienced couples/groups playing in public, however, it can occasionally look like these security measures aren’t in [...]

Last Sunday, 3rd March, Lori Smith and I held a ‘Polyamory 101′ session at the writers’ convention, Eroticon

From our point of view it was a chance to myth-bust or even introduce a brand new concept to the fantastic writers and curators of erotica who were in attendance.
