Episode 6: The Good, The Bad, and The Fugly

From cute friend dates to chaotic sex parties, we’re ending Season 1 with our wildest, weirdest, and most heartfelt dating stories. In this final episode of the season, we swap stories from the frontlines of dating while ethically non-monogamous — the good, the bad, and the downright fugly. We reflect on what counts as a date in ENM, how online dating compares to meeting people in community, and the beautiful chaos of navigating sex parties, group dynamics, and slow-burn connections. There’s vulnerability, laughter, and a lot of honest talk about what it’s really like to date, connect, and grow while living non-monogamously. What We Talk About:
  • Dating while polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous
  • Why some of the best dates are platonic
  • Online dating red flags and bios that make us swipe away
  • First-time sex party nerves (and snacks)
  • The pressure (or not) at ENM social events
  • How community-based connections feel safer and more authentic
  • One piece of advice we’d give to anyone starting out in ENM
Mentioned in This Episode:
  • ko-fi.com/enmdnm – Support the pod and help fund free therapy and support groups
  • The E&M DNM Discord – connect, learn, and share in a supportive space (access via Ko-Fi)

And stay tuned — we’ll be back with Season 2 soon. Thanks for joining us in this honest conversation about ethical non-monogamy, queer identity, dating, friendship, and community.
