Relationship Anarchy, Polyamory, Monogamy, and more! Come join our panelists as they discuss how their relationship styles help navigate the way they play.
After hearing from our panelists, there will be an open discussion for those wishing to participate.
Panelists Bios:
@east_ has been involved in BDSM for close to 15 years, and in a Poly relationship with his wife for about half that time. His relationships are a blend of different styles that try be a good fit for each partner.
@Ch1m3r4 has been polyamorous for over twenty years, with experience in Polyfidelity/family, kitchen table, triad and relationship anarchy, both with and without power dynamics added. In all aspects of Chimera's life, honest communication and consent are key. Chimera has worked for SMART in various capacities from casual volunteer to Board Chair over the last decade. Chimera is currently serving as OhioSMART's Volunteer Coordinator.
@-Korvin- (she/they) is a polyamorous submissive who has been in the lifestyle for around 10 years now. She enjoys bottoming for a wide array of sensation play and also enjoys topping for flogging and body drumming. She has been in a long-term power exchange dynamic with her partner of 6 years, has several metamours, and a fairly new non-D/s relationship where she joined a polycule that would need a diagram to explain.
@ServiceElevator currently has a mono-poly relationship with their spouse (any pronouns), where they practice many tenants of non-monogamy in our close social network. Non-monogamy for Service Elevator feels more like a relationship orientation that Service Elevator cannot ignore or turn off, much like sexual orientation. However, Service Elevator has been called demi-romantic because it takes a long time/specific circumstances for them to feel romantic attraction. Service Elevator does not fully claim that label, but this means they: Didn't mind and enthusiastically chose a romantically closed but sexually open relationship with their wife. They've tried many different combinations of non-monogamy and it seems this is the most stable configuration, based on both our time/emotional availability. Despite the stability and openness we have in our daily lives, over the past ten years, they've experienced the stigma from both vanilla and non-monogamous worlds, due to their (wife) asexuality and Service Elevator's compromise toward romantic fidelity.
