  • Binge worthy for anyone who loves captivating storytelling

    I’m listening to episodes back to back because I am amazed at all the interesting shapes relationships and personal desire can take. I don’t think this is just for poly curious people- anybody can learn and be intertwined by the concepts being explored. There is so much good food for thought. Fer does an incredible job at guiding the conversations into the nooks and crannies. I love the honesty and vulnerability shared in this podcast.

  • Insightful and compassionate

    My long-term partner and I have been listening to Polycurious for a couple months now and it has been so incredibly helpful for our relationship. Fernanda is a very inquisitive and nonjudgmental interviewer, asks lovely questions and shares relatable stories from her own experiences. And she has interviewed such a wide array of people from different backgrounds. I have particularly loved hearing from so many gentle hearted men, it has been an inspiration for me in the process!

  • Great Interviewer

    An author friend of mine was on Polycurious so I listed to the interview and was blown away by Fernanda’s knowledge of the book and the depth of her questions. Unlike so many other interviewers who are obviously winging it during the interview, just trying to make content, Fernanda is asking the questions that inform and educate her audience. I cant recommend her show enough.

  • If you’re thinking about a non-conventional relationship

    Engaging and informative conversations covering the entire range from those monogamous but curious to those fully polyamorous and parenting. Really great introduction to ideas and experiences in doing relationships a bit differently than the norm.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

77. Kink, Power Dynamics & Knowing When to Walk Away with Vee from Girls Gone Deep
Q: So I'm curious, what was the first scene like? If you don't mind me asking a little bit more details, you said you shared with him what you were into, and then he created a scene. Can you give us like an example?
The first scene followed a negotiation, then the partner framed the session with commands and inspection, leading to a full-blown bedroom scene with a leash, blindfold, and a progression from oral to penetrative acts, all while maintaining focus on consent, boundaries, and aftercare.
72. I Questioned Monogamy and Heteronormativity and Couldn’t Go Back
Q: What about the break-up with your partner, did you realize okay, this is actually an identity?
It became clear to me that this thing was beautiful, and I'm sorry that you can't understand that.
70. Jealousy is Information with Kayla + Carl (Part 2)
Q: What will you tell to a Polycurious person?
Don't be afraid to tell the truth. Don't be afraid to have hard conversations, and don't be intimidated by experiences that are in the unknown.
70. Jealousy is Information with Kayla + Carl (Part 2)
Q: How do you decide how much you want to hear?
I think it was helpful because Kayla's done a really good job of explaining and sharing exactly what's going on and kind of testing the waters.
69. Non-monogamy Saved Our Marriage with Kayla + Carl (Part 1)
Q: Tell me how what happened with this Jim partner that you had?
It's been great. We are still very good friends, but he has developed strong feelings for me, creating a deficit in his life.
