Welcome to Metamour than You Bargained For, a podcast looking at stories of non-monogamy around the internet. We’re going to be discussing everything from whether or not unicorn hunters are actually the worst to why we think the DS9 crew was all a big gay polycule. I’m Lyn Lawless, and I’ll be joined by a rotating cast of co-hosts ranging from those 70 year olds that have been swinging since the 70s to Gen Z’ers who just wanna know the trick to having a threesome that doesn’t suck.
Episodes will be released every other Wednesday, so please - take a seat, pour a cup of tea, and let’s get into some drama.
Rose discusses asexual experiences within polyamorous relationships, highlighting both the challenges and the fulfilling aspects of these connections in this interview.

10 - Bonus Episode 1: D&D
Welcome to our Bonus Content! These episodes are a little off the standard in that they focus on the spaces within the Venn Diagram between Nonmonogamy and another activity or culture. Today, we are talking about D&D! Party dynamics and polycule dynamics have a lot more in common than you would think, and you'd be surprised how much a Session 0 can help your Table-Top Polycule.

09 - Take Two Ls on This One
Dating while neurodivergent is tricky. Polyamory while neurodivergent is somehow even harder. Fortunately we've got Lyn and...well, Lyn, to break down stories of success and failure in the space, as well as answer that age old question, "Should I trust the conventionally attractive neurotypical person who seems to be hitting on me?"
Apologies for the late upload, folks. As Sloane makes her way through the immigration process, time management is getting tricky. We'll be back to our usual 9am uploads soon!

08 - Tiana's Guide to Practical Homeownership for Quintouples
Being polyamorous often requires a bunch of therapy and effort. So you would think it would all be smooth sailing for this therapist and her five person polycule, right? As it turns out, even the roughest waters are navigable when you're partnered with a competent and communicative crew.

07 - I Deem Worthy (of a Polycule)
Lots of things shift through our lives. Boundaries, desires, and gender identities. The best thing we can do for ourselves in any situation is to stay true to the person we aspire to be. Being polyamorous makes it easy to find ourselves entangled with strong personalities. How do you stand up for yourself, when you're still learning who you are?

06 - Ergonomic BDSM
Join Lyn and their co-host CuddlesandSharps as they discuss the art of playing with any body; because treating "fat" like a dirty word is for cowards who have never dreamt of ending their days between a pair of thick thighs.

Technically an Apology
Interrupting your regularly scheduled polyamorous relationship content - this is Lyn Lawless coming at you raw and unedited. As y'all saw we did not get an episode uploaded yesterday and I'm very sorry about that. We encountered some technical difficulties and by that I mean Sloane's computer was put out of comission by rain and cat hair - but she's trying to get her computer repaired while in a foreign country so I'm sure y'all can understand how troublesome that is. Thank you so much for bearing with us. I promise the episode is done, we just have to find a way to get it uploaded from a dead computer. Please remember to like, share and subscribe so that we can keep this momentum going after we get this sorted out. Also, let me give y'all a secret little update about our patreon and when we will have episodes coming out weekly...

05 - Livin' La Vida Loca with Lavitaloca Sawyers
Today we are living La Vida Loca with Evita Sawyers, author sensation and ENM inspiration. Real ENM isn't always pretty, but it's worth it in the end. Growth mindsets are make-or-break for relationships, as long time partners face the difficulties of changing with each other or being left in the dust.

04 - That Left Turn at Albuquerque
What would a show about metamours be without two metamours? This week, I am herding cats and trying to keep two co-hosts on topic. It's a delightful mess, as we speak to Holly and Nita about self-deprecation, stalkers, and their shared Pretty Boy.

03 - Tee Time
From Military to Marriage to Nonmonogamy, Tee has lived a few different lives. Tales of opened up marriages and changing expectations are ripe for all of the drama, growth, and change. It's time to pour the tea, with Tee.
Sorry for the late upload folks, the version that initially went up this morning had a few particularly noticeable audio glitches that we decided were worth a couple extra hours to squash. -Sloane

02 - Pokemon Bandages
This week, we are chatting with Wil who is a Trauma Informed Social Worker! We work to extend our empathy to metamours experiencing struggles with their mental health, where we can, and calling out nonsense everywhere else. Don't forget to drop a 5 star review, and subscribe.

01 - Don't be a Psyduck
They say first is the worst, so my editor and producer Sloane is our sacrificial lamb. Join us as we judge strangers on the internet and entertain you along the way. We will be chatting about navigating chronic illnesses, boundaries, communication, and more within the realm of nonmonogamy. Frigid bitches and hot takes are inbound!
