Hi! My name is Radiant Rebecca. I'm a polyamorous woman (aka an ethical slut), a courtesan, and a tango dancer. I love to make people blush. Especially if it makes them think! This podcast is about love. And my love life. And my … um, sex life. In each episode, you will hear me in rich, intimate, brainy conversations with my partners, lovers, and curious friends. We will share with you, often in real-time, how we navigate relationship transitions and jealousy, fighting nicely, practice partnership, communicate consciously about sex, money, and more. Expect big chunks of useful information and science geekery, a lot of inspiration, and a dash of magic on top… and of course, lots of talk about pleasure and its manifestations! I believe that TRUE pleasure improves us, and I aim to follow true pleasure wherever it leads. I'm not always right. But I'm always enjoying myself! Care to join me?

episode 107: Lessons from an Orgy: How Others Navigate Complicated Sex, Relationships and Polyamory
RATED X: Sexual content
This is a set of five short, impromtu interviews with a variety of polyamorous and sex positive people that will make you rethink your assumptions about sexuality. Rebecca interviews five new friends at an orgy about some of their most intimate choices and how they have approached satisfaction, partnership and important communication topics.
She dives into different relationship styles, getting your needs met, and having a thrilling, fulfilling, exciting life.
There is a little bit of everything in this episode - from STI safety and talking with a young married woman about what she thinks about her wedding ring, to explicit sexual fantasies and preparing for the physical and emotional risks involved in fulfilling those fantasies.
This is a very unique episode with plenty of insight into the ups and downs of a long-term poly relationship as we each navigate new relationships and commitment to each other.
Think about this:
-Have you taken ownership of your Yes and No? (e.g. saying ‘yes’ when you want to say ‘yes and ‘no’ when you want to say ‘no?)
-“Sex” is so much more than a cock in a pussy, aka penetrative sex, and there are so many ways to be creative AND safe during sex. What other amazing options are there?
-Are you talking about what you truly want with your partner/s? Or are you following a script of what is expected of you?
-Having multiple sexual partners means considering which precautions you need to take to feel comfortable with regards to STIs.
-Never underestimate the time spent communicating with your partners and building up trust. The risk of emotional damage is larger if you rush sexual experiences, especially in large groups, and especially when you’re new.
-If you slow down the progression of your relationship, you have time to experience every sensation to its fullest and there seems to be more all the time.
-Between any two moments, there is another moment that can be experienced in relationships and realizing that opens more possibilities.
-Polyamory gives you the chance to share experiences that normally you would be isolated as you get to share about partners.
-Make a list of the top three priorities in your life right now. When do you need to reevaluate the items on that list?
