If you can’t tolerate discomfort, I’d genuinely reconsider any relationship. Including monogamy.

When we have a socially accepted, one-size-fits-all relationship structure, it makes it very easy to be lazy. Not because monogamy is lazy, conscious monogamy is just as active and intentional as anything else. But when the structure comes pre-approved, it’s tempting to assume you’ve arrived somewhere and stop doing the work.

You stop defining things. You stop asking questions. You assume commitment means the same thing to both of you. You assume cheating means the same thing. You assume exclusivity means the same thing. And you never once check whether those assumptions are shared, until the moment they aren’t.

Consensual non-monogamy strips all of that away. You can’t coast on assumption. You have to talk. Which is exactly why I think of it as relationship exposure therapy, it forces the conversations that every relationship needs and most never have.

Tag someone who needs to hear that the conversations are the relationship.

From my appearance on

Monogamy used to mean one partner, for life.

Now, culturally, it just as often means one partner at a time. A completely different definition, even though we use the same word for both.

Sit with that.

Even the most “traditional” relationship structure has already quietly evolved. So the idea that any relationship structure is supposed to be fixed and unchanging? That was never actually true, not even for monogamy.

Serial monogamy is basically non-monogamy in slow motion, spread across one relationship at a time instead of happening simultaneously. We just don’t call it that.

Send this to someone who thinks their relationship style is “the right one.”

High infidelity rates don’t mean everyone secretly wants to be polyamorous.

They mean we’re genuinely bad at having uncomfortable conversations before they become unavoidable ones.

Managing a secret side of your life is actually more work than the terrifying, honest sentence: “I don’t know what this means for us, but we need to talk.” It just doesn’t feel that way in the moment, because avoidance feels easier short-term.

This is the same thing I say about relationship structure in general: it was never the structure that gives you security. Consistency does. And consistency means actually having the hard conversation, not routing around it.

📲 Save this for the next time avoiding a conversation feels like the easier option. It’s not.

You don’t get stronger by skipping the gym. You don’t get better at jealousy by avoiding it either — and avoidance is basically the only training most of us ever get.

Because we’re taught to suppress jealousy instead of feel it, we never actually build skill with it, which makes it disempowering by design.

But it’s practiceable, like anything else: get familiar with the sensations in your body, build language for it, let it become less overwhelming through repetition, not through avoidance.

In a genuinely safe container — where you can say “my partner is my rock” and actually feel it — you can go even further: fantasizing about what might trigger jealousy, on purpose, in an er0tic context.

That’s jealousy practiced by choice instead of endured by accident. It’s the exact work I do with clients, and the work I do in my own relation-trip.

Comment JELLY and I’ll send you my free Jealousy Quiz — the first rep in a practice that opens more up the more you do it.

Enthusiastic doesn’t mean prepared. And not enthusiastic doesn’t mean unwilling.

Here’s a dynamic I see constantly: someone brings the idea of opening up to the table, genuinely excited, and then the reality of what that actually looks like hits differently than the fantasy did.

Suddenly agreements that felt exciting in theory need real renegotiation. That’s not a failure. That’s exactly why informed consent matters more than enthusiastic consent, you can be fully willing and still not have known what you were actually signing up for.

Nobody has to be a full-on “hell yes” for something to still be a real, valid yes. Enthusiasm just doesn’t look the same on everyone.

Send this to a partner you’re actually negotiating something with right now.

Compersion is not the opposite of jealousy. That’s the single most common misconception about it.

Compersion is the felt joy or pleasure you experience when your partner experiences joy or pleasure with someone else.

Jealousy is a completely separate experience, and you can feel both of them at the exact same time, about the exact same moment.

Compersion always feels emotionally good. Jealousy never feels emotionally good.

Neither are inherently a turn on physically, but both can be.

Two separate axes: emotional experience (positive to uncomfortable) and physical ar0usal (turned on or not).

📲 Save this for the next time you’re not sure whether what you’re feeling is compersion, jealousy, or both at once.

Picture the second date. Low light, a good table, and nothing in your glass but sparkling water. Who shows up?

I recently went live on Substack with Jem | Somatica Trained S*x & Relationship Coach from Open House Channel 4 and Celebs Go Dating and Helen Masters of the newly launched Sober AF Dating ©️ to talk about sober s*x and dating: who we are across the table without a drink, and who we are in bed.

Comment OPEN1026 and I’ll send you the replay link.



Two glasses in, everything feels easier. The flirting, the touching, the yes.

Would it still be a yes at 10am with a coffee in your hand?

Enthusiasm and a warm blur can feel identical from the inside. Jem Jones and Helen Masters join me live to talk about where one ends and the other begins, for you and for the person across from you.

Comment OPEN1026 for the replay link.



The bartender asks. You say “soda water,” and you watch your date’s eyebrow lift a few millimeters.

Do you explain? Make a joke? Say nothing at all?

Helen Masters is the woman behind Sober AF Dating ©️, and she has heard every version of that moment. She joined me live.

Comment OPEN1026 and I’ll send you the replay link.



The lights are low, the music is good, and everyone around you is two drinks looser. You’re not.

Jem | Somatica Trained S*x & Relationship Coach is a Somatica-trained s*xologist who hosts Fallen Angels, a room where people come to explore, and she holds it with a clear head. We talked about what the body has to relearn without alcohol, and what it remembers.

Comment OPEN1026 and I’ll send you the replay link.



You met over a bottle of Burgundy. Now one of you has stopped drinking, and the evenings feel different in ways neither of you has named yet.

Or you’re sober-curious, quietly wondering what your relationship would feel like without the evening bottle.

This one is for you. No labels required.

Some couples come to me wanting to open their relationship. And what they actually need is to be seen.

Not by other partners. By each other.

I’ve sat with couples who thought they wanted to restructure everything — add people, change agreements, rewrite the whole container. And what happened in the room, before any of that, was one person finally saying the thing they’d been carrying alone. The desire, the fantasy, the part of themselves they were afraid would be too much, too strange, too threatening to say out loud.

And their partner heard it. Really heard it.

And it settled. Not because the desire disappeared. Because the shame around it did. Because they realised that being known — actually known, including the parts you’re nervous about — is what they were hungry for all along.

We carry so much shame around s/x and love and desire. We’re given rules about how to do it right and no tools to actually follow them.

Sometimes the most profound thing that can happen in a relationship isn’t restructuring it. It’s two people finally deciding that the other one can see all of them.

I’ve watched that happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things I get to witness in this work.

What’s something about yourself you’ve never felt safe enough to say out loud in a relationship?

Opening up a relationship is more about opening up the communication than anything else.

Before any conversation about seeing other people, introducing other partners, or restructuring any agreement — there’s a prior conversation.

Can I tell you something I’m feeling that I don’t know how to say yet?

Can we talk about this without it meaning everything is over?

Is this a safe enough container for the uncomfortable thing?

If the answer is no — if the relationship can’t hold that conversation — it doesn’t matter what structure you choose. Monogamy, non-monogamy, anything in between. Without the ability to say the real thing and have it received, none of it holds.

Most of what people call relationship problems are communication problems dressed up as structure problems. They’re not in the wrong relationship. They’re in a relationship where they’ve never established that honesty is safe.

The assumption that you know what the other person thinks, wants, or expects — without asking — is how distance builds slowly and quietly until one day it becomes structural failure.

What’s one assumption in your relationship you’ve never actually tested with an honest question or conversation?



10/22/2026

Equal isn’t the same as fair. In relationships, that distinction changes everything.

Equality means everyone gets the exact same thing, regardless of need. Equity means everyone gets what they specifically need, which by definition looks different for each person.

Relational balance was never about making sure you and your partner get identical treatment. It’s about making sure you both get what you actually need, even when that looks completely different side by side.

Send this to the partner who keeps score instead of asking what actually helps.
