Polyamory, Masculinity, and Bears—Oh My! With Joseph Rawlins
What does a "normal" polycule look like? How does masculinity show up in polyamory? Does your attachment style affect how you practice polyamory? Today's guest, Joseph Rawlins, is a longtime friend and now a kink and poly friendly therapist in Jacksonville, FL. Joe and I met years ago within the Jax polyamory community, and I'm so excited to let y'all hear his story and gain so much good wisdom from what he's learned—both as a human and a clinician! We chatted all things scheduling in polyamorous relationships, navigating jealousy, compersion, and what masculinity means to someone who has spent years deconstructing and redefining his own :) You can follow Joseph here: https://www.instagram.com/therapy.joe (https://www.instagram.com/therapy.joe/) https://www.therapyjoe.com (https://joerawlins.com/) For updates and more Lex Be Real content: Lex Be Real on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LexBeRealPod (https://www.youtube.com/@LexBeRealPod) Follow Lexi on TikTok: @lexiinks (https://www.tiktok.com/@lexi.inks) Follow Lexi on Instagram: @lexiinks (https://www.instagram.com/lexiinks/) SUBSCRIBE TO LEXI'S SUBSTACK, SOUTHERN JEZEBEL: https://southernjezebel.substack.com (https://southernjezebel.substack.com) Lexi's website: https://www.lexiinks.com (https://www.lexiinks.com) 20% off at Foria (use code LEXI): https://www.foriawellness.com/LEXI (https://www.foriawellness.com/LEXI) 10% off at Unbound (use code LEXI): https://www.unboundbabes.com/lexi-inks (https://www.unboundbabes.com/lexi-inks) ~I'll make out with you if you rate, review, and subscribe~

From compersion to polysaturation to polycule dynamics and more, I share key takeaways that could help monogamous folks just as much as those practicing ethical non-monogamy.

Lex Be Real, Y'all!
Welcome to the first official episode of Lex Be Real! This show is my passion project come to life: part sex and dating podcast, part outlet for me to hear myself talk uninterrupted.... Jk. The focus of LBR is what I'm calling the "3 Rs": Real, relatable relationships. I'm not an influencer or NYC socialite, but just a dumb bitch journalist living in her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida (DUUUVAAAL!) and trying to navigate the wild world of modern dating just like many of you. In future episodes, I'll be joined by incredible sex therapists, relationship experts, mental health professionals, and even some influencers to discuss the conversations happening about sex, dating, and relationships — and give a platform to the voices that aren't really being represented or heard.
