Polyamory: When two just won't do

This episode explores the world of polyamory—relationships involving romantic commitment among more than two people—and dives into what makes them work, how they differ from open relationships or swinging, and the science behind why humans seek them out. Josh and Chuck break down the different structures polyamorous relationships can take, discuss the communication skills and jealousy management required to make them successful, and explore the very real social and legal challenges polyamorous people face, including the risk of losing custody of their children. They also touch on the surprising academic interest in these relationships and trace some interesting historical roots, all while being clear that they're approaching the topic with respect rather than judgment.
