·38 min·2 clips

Teddy says finding compatible partners requires going where people with shared interests already gather.

1. Backdoor BOINK's episode "Our TEDdy Talk - Polyamory w/ Teddy" examines Teddy's polyamorous relationship style. 2. Kayla, a certified relationship and intimacy coach, and MJ interview Teddy about his relationship structure and sexual-wellness practices. 3. The episode asks how a couple can sustain ethical non-monogamy through boundaries, communication, safety, jealousy, and differing levels of emotional involvement. 4. Teddy says he leans polyamorous while his wife generally prefers physical attraction without requiring emotional connection. 5. Teddy says non-monogamy began near the start of his relationship, first involving additional women and later attempts at swinging. 6. He explains that COVID ended the parties, meetups, and groups the couple had previously attended. 7. Kayla defines a unicorn as a bisexual single woman interested in playing with a couple, while Teddy identifies dragon as a newer term for a male equivalent. 8. Teddy says returning to strict monogamy would be a difficult U-turn because he enjoys courting, dating, and new relationship energy. 9. The couple's rule is to stop outside play when either partner feels a relationship hurdle, even if that means cancelling a date. 10. Teddy says he cannot divide his time evenly because he has a family and substantial existing commitments. 11. Teddy describes jealousy as an "irking" connected to fear of missing out while his wife is with someone else. 12. He says brief check-in texts during his wife's dates help reduce that jealousy without requiring constant contact. 13. Teddy says the couple shares details about outside experiences but does not see additional relationships as automatically helping or harming their primary relationship. 14. The couple uses location and expected-return information so either partner can respond directly during an emergency. 15. Teddy reports physical testing during routine medical appointments and says condom use depends on the partner, testing practices, birth control, and perceived safety. 16. He says dating two women is difficult because it requires time, dedication, communication, and attention to competing feelings. 17. Teddy describes FetLife and rope classes as current ways to seek partners, while criticizing filtered photographs and limited online interaction. 18. The interview also covers Teddy's primal and consensual-non-consent interests, rope and impact play, and his identification as a heavy switch. 19. Adults curious about polyamory, jealousy, boundaries, or kink communities may appreciate this conversation. 20. Listeners seeking non-sexual topics or formal relationship research may skip it.
