let's all get it on

Sharing your boo with someone else may not be everyone's idea of a jolly time. But Sexploratorium instructor Kira Manser believes openly exploring individual sexual needs may initiate an emboldened partnership that exudes honesty and communication. In her multimodular discussion, "Loving Openly" Manser presents ways in which couples can navigate and establish healthy boundaries in various relationship models, such as polyfidelity (multipartner marriage), polyamory (multiple loves) and even monogamy (just you and your guy/gal). Manser says guests can also participate in activities that allow them to pose questions and survey their own needs to see what type of situation would best suit them. "When people have more exposure to this type of thinking," Manser says, "they can more freely explore the options."
