In this interview with global, best-selling polyamory co-author (The Ethical Slut) Janet Hardy, we discuss the nature of polyamory along with Hardy’s current, “elder” life with her former BDSM partner … and after a life-changing and shocking “Kundalini” experience–which she describes more fully in her most recent book: Notes of Aging Pervert.
Polyamory is on the rise among younger generations and even older folks. In this wide-ranging interview, we discuss the following:
- Polyamory as a life philosophy beyond monogamy, sex and non-monogamy
- Debunking myths around polyamory
- Is polyamory just a re-hash of the swinging days of the late 1960s and ’70s and bound to fail?
- Jealousy: inevitable or “handleable”?
- “Non-disposable” relationship culture: what to do when one person does not meet all your needs?
- Repression, patriarchy and sexual violence
- Moms for Liberty, the GOP and “hidden” sexuality
- Who is actually committing sex crimes?
- Honesty in society and relationships
- Being a “Whole Person”
- Transcending the “ego state”
- Is the nuclear family a completely failed experiment?
- Hardy’s experience at UCSC
- Death and dying
