When people become nonmonogamous, they don’t always stay nonmonogamous for life. Sometimes people decide to take a temporary break from it. Other times, people stop practicing it altogether because it’s just not what they want or need anymore. Maybe they only want to pursue one relationship right now, or perhaps they just want to be single. So what does a post nonmonogamous life look like? That’s what we’re going to be talking about in this episode.

My guest today is Andrea Zanin, author of the new book Post-Nonmonogamy and Beyond. They are also co-author of the new edition of the book More than Two. Andrea blogs at sexgeek.wordpress.com, where they created the 10 Rules for Happy Nonmonogamy and coined the term “polynormativity.”

Some of the topics we cover in this episode include:

What does post nonmonogamy look like?
What are the main reasons people become post-nonmonogamous?
Is post-nonmonogamy a temporary or permanent state?
In what ways can post-nonmonogamy be rewarding? In what ways it is challenging?

You can check out Andrea’s website to read more of their work.
