Monogamy doesn’t remove a single thing that could trigger jealousy. It just makes it easier to get lazy about ever defining anything.

Here’s a question worth asking your partner today, exclusive or not:

What actually counts as ‘cheating’, to each of you, specifically? What actually counts as ‘sex’?

Most couples assume they’re working from the same definitions because they said “we’re exclusive” once, years ago, and never revisited it since.

It’s a potentially uncomfortable conversation, and you can’t actually know if something’s unsafe versus just unfamiliar until you get curious enough to investigate. Jumping straight to a verdict skips the part where you’d learn anything at all.

Send this to someone you want to create clear definitions with.

Er0tic jealousy is a real thing. I said what I said.

I’m writing my first book on exactly this — ‘For the Love of Jealousy’ — because we are so far behind on this emotion.

There’s no such thing as a “jealous person.” There’s a person capable of emotions, and jealousy is one of them.

The myth that you can only do non-monogamy if you don’t get jealous? Everyone up on that stage with me still feels it. Even me.

The goal was never eliminating jealousy, it’s getting fluent enough in it that it starts telling you something useful.

Someone in the crowd said what everyone’s thinking: “open relationships sound like so much work.”

They’re not wrong. Any relationship that’s built to last takes ongoing sustained effort to thrive.

But here’s what nobody tells you: the work was never really about the structure. I’ve coached monogamous couples who felt completely insecure, and non-monogamous ones who felt rock solid, because security was never coming from the shape of the relationship. It comes from what happens inside it.

Before you decide monogamy or non-monogamy is “safer,” ask the better question: what am I actually building here, and am I running TO or FROM something?

Sacred is what you decide it is.

The conversation I most want us to be having isn’t just about protection or prevention, as important as those things are. It’s about this: the right to define what’s sacred to you. In your body, in your relationships, in the container you build with another person.

That container can include anything you both decide belongs in it. Regular STI testing and honest conversations about sexual health — the kind ProDx Health | Home Collection STD, Hormone & Wellness Kits makes genuinely accessible and discreet — can be just as much a part of your sacred ritual as any other agreement you make together. Choosing that, consciously, is an act of care. For yourself and for the people you’re intimate with.

Monogamy, if it’s the right structure for you — chosen consciously, communicated clearly, built around your actual hierarchy of needs — is extraordinary. Not because it’s the default. Because it’s yours.

That’s my whole position. Not monogamy versus non-monogamy. Not one structure being better than another. The conversation I’m interested in is about dismantling the prescription and starting to recognise what’s actually authentic for you — even if it sits outside the rules you were handed.

Choose it. Don’t get prescribed it. That distinction — between a chosen life and an inherited one — is where genuine intimacy becomes possible. In your relationship with a partner. And in your relationship with yourself.

If we have better relationships that last longer, we’ll have a better world that lasts longer.

That’s my thesis. Everything else I do and say flows from it.

What I keep watching is an epidemic of self-avoidance. Not self-expression — self-avoidance.

People so invested in the label, the identity, the categories they belong to or oppose, that they’ve lost the thread of who they actually are underneath all of it.

And when you don’t know who you are, you can’t know what you want. And when you don’t know what you want, you can’t build anything that lasts.

Identity matters. And at some point, the deeper work requires moving beyond a label to something that transcends it. The thing that makes a relationship genuinely extraordinary isn’t compatible labels. It’s that quality of connection — call it spiritual, call it resonance — that exists underneath the material, underneath the presentation, underneath the way you’ve learned to introduce yourself to the world.

How I present is how I introduce myself to you. But it’s not all of me. And the people who get all of me are the ones I connect with past the introduction.

Relationship without freedom isn’t partnership. It’s ownership.

We don’t say it that plainly very often. But the possessiveness that shows up in loving relationships — my man, my woman, I don’t share — is worth looking at honestly. Because what it’s describing isn’t commitment. It isn’t trust. It’s a claim on another person.

You don’t build trust by limiting someone’s options. You build it by creating a relationship worth choosing freely — and then watching them choose it. Over and over. That’s the thing that actually holds.

The language of ownership in relationships is so normalised we don’t always notice it. But when you trace it back, it usually leads to the same place: fear. Fear of losing something. Fear of not being enough. Fear of what freedom might reveal.

None of that fear gets resolved by holding tighter. It gets resolved by doing the internal work of understanding what you actually need — and building a relationship structure that supports it and your ideal partnership rather than concealing the gap.

A comedian like Nikki Glaser being publicly, confidently open about being a cuckquean might be one of the most beautiful examples of relationship self-knowledge I’ve seen in a while.

This is er0tic jealousy in action — when the thing that used to feel threatening becomes something that actually turns you on, or deepens connection instead of undermining it.

And it’s a spectrum, not one specific act: it can be pure fantasy and roleplay, wanting to know who your partner’s attracted to, watching them flirt, or something further. None of those versions are “more real” than the others.

What actually makes it beautiful isn’t the act — it’s the clarity and honesty behind it.

Know your own turn-ons, name them out loud, and build agreements around them instead of assuming or guessing.

“They’re not called growing pleasures.”

I say this constantly, because it’s true — we’ve built an entire society around avoiding discomfort, then wonder why we’re not growing.

Jealousy is the perfect example. Most people treat it like something to suppress, apologize for, or avoid triggering entirely. But discomfort isn’t a warning sign to run from — in this case, it’s data.

The relationships that actually deepen aren’t the ones where nobody ever feels uncomfortable. They’re the ones where discomfort gets read instead of avoided.

There’s a name for the first half of this: bi erasure. The assumption that who you’re currently dating overwrites who you actually are.

Nobody’s built quite as much language for the second half, but polyamorous people who happen to be with one partner right now get read the exact same way.

“Oh, so you’re basically monogamous now?” No.
The capacity didn’t change. The current configuration did.

A label works better as a starting point than a verdict. It tells you something true about capacity, not just what’s currently visible from across the room. Two people can look identical from the outside and be living completely different realities.

New Relationship Energy (NRE) is intoxicating. If you’re the partner watching it happen without you, it can also feel like the floor dropping out.

Here’s the reframe I come back to: if you’re in a couple, you’re already in a th*****me — you, your partner, and the relationship itself.

That third party (your relationship) needs just as much time and attention as either of you individually.

Reconnection Rituals are literally how you feed it: a touchpoint before, a touchpoint after. Doesn’t matter what it is — a shared bath, a long walk, s3x, whatever’s actually connective for you two — you’re bookending the newness with something that stays it’s just yours.

📲 Save this for the next time something — or someone — new is entering your relationship. This ritual makes all the difference.
