After releasing Kinky Question of the week in early 2021, I started thinking about potential complimentary Q&A podcast we could do here at Dating Kinky. And it didn’t take me too much time to realize: there are so many directions we could take a series that tackled topics related to ethical nonmonogamy.
So, the Nonmonogamy Question of the Week (NQOTW) will include conversations and collect questions from the listeners related to aspects of this lifestyle, including:
- What adjustments do I have to make if all of my previous relationships were monogamous?
- How do I deal with feelings of jealous, whether they arise in me or are coming from a partner?
- How do I evaluate and decide what type of ethically nonmonogamous relationship is right for me?
In my personal life, I describe myself as a pimptress/cuckoldress who is polyamorous yet monoromantic. Stay tuned for future episodes where I describe in further details what all of that is and why I think it works for me.
And I’m happy to share that I will have company on the show. My friend Amarie (former host of our Life in Submission series, you may recall), who has also been in an ethical nonmonogamous dynamic for several years, will be joining me for these conversations.

"I was lucky enough grew up in the lifestyle and around people of every color and bent, and I was taught that acceptance is the highest form of love.
I identify as a hedonistic dominant cuckoldress-pimptress who is polyamorous and monoromantic.
I joke that my primary fetishes are communication and behavior modification, but I love everything power exchange and the mental game of kink, along with butt play. *grins*"
