Whether you are thinking about shifting your own relationship or are just curious about what others are up to…this is for you! It may surprise you to learn that many couples these days are moving outside of the monogamous traditional relationships that have been held by the masses for centuries. When asked in secret, 34 % of those in partnered relationships individually report that something other than traditional monogamy would be ideal for them. Those outside of traditional monogamy have always existed through the ages. More and more of us now are coming out of the fringes and sharing that all types of relationships have value and can work. Learn about the different types of relationships to include polyamory, swinging, open relationships, relationship anarchy and more!
