New Class: Monogamy as a Conscious Choice
After teaching, presenting, writing, and practicing conscious polyamory for years, one thing that’s always bothered me is that there are no classes – and very little outspoken support – for people who choose to be monogamous in the sex positive & kink communities. In fact – some of the outspoken poly folk who like to talk about how much more “enlightened” they are than monogamous folk give poly a bad name. So…it’s about time I created this class:
Monogamy As A Conscious Choice
Are you committed to monogamy as a personal choice? In a monogamous relationship and part of a sex positive community, yet feel an unspoken judgement or pressure to be non-monogamous? Tried polyamory and found out it’s really not for you – but want to incorporate some of what you’ve learned in a different kind of monogamous relationship? Sarah Sloane, an experienced presenter on polyamorous topics, turns the tables & discusses monogamy from the perspective of choice, rather than default. She will talk about the many benefits to monogamy, negotiating your monogamous relationship, common challenges for monogamous couples & singles (especially within sex positive communities), and ways to strengthen both your relationship and your individual growth.
Interested in attending this class? Want to have me teach it at your event, store, or organization? Just drop me a line at sarah.sloane (at) gmail.com!

Howdy!
I actually have hsd, for a while, a class on being monogamous…from the POV of a mostly monogamous chick
You can catch the description of it here ~ http://www.mollena.com/bdsm-classes/
I’ve written about my experiences as a monogamous submissive female, here … http://www.mollena.com/2009/11/less-is-more/
http://www.mollena.com/2009/11/mos-nogamy/ and there …
….and here, too… http://www.mollena.com/2008/10/mocking-monogamy/ … for starters!
I know of a Bay Area presenter, dominant male, wop presents on monogamy from the POV of a monogamous het male top.
So, while I will agree that there are *few* people talking about monogamy in a BDSM context, we are out here.
