115. The Great Polyamory Debate!

Sarah and Nancy go head to head on the latest trend -- or is it the same-old media blather? We discuss the sacredness of sex, "comet partners," Camille Paglia, and how is a persimmon like a penis?

Nancy and Sarah get down (!) to the serious business of ethical non-monogamy, thanks to the cover story in this week’s New York magazine. Is polyamory really a trend? Does opening your marriage ever work? Sarah finds this subject (professionally) fascinating; Nancy thinks it all ends in tears and grubbiness somewhere in Park Slope. Also discussed:

  • 2024: The Year of More Punching

  • Axl Rose was once an Indiana kid named William Bruce Rose

  • Nancy’s squeaky little voice vs. Nancy’s va-va-voom photos

  • Nancy’s reasonable objections to sex writing

  • Sarah’s reasonable arguments FOR sex writing

  • Stats, stats, we need stats

  • New lingo alert! “comet partner,” “metamour,” “one-penis policy”

  • Obviously Burning Man is involved

  • We design our perfect ethical polycules

  • Amazon employees are mad about moving to Austin?

  • Love for Israel during hard times

Plus, the many haircuts of Camille Paglia, our new Fight Club, and how a persimmon is like a penis.
