  • Summary

  • Welcome to Love Free Or Die, the podcast for Libertarians in love!

    In this episode, Liz and Jay discuss the pros and cons of the polyamorous lifestyle, to include the following:

    Cons:

    • Stigma, discrimination, risks to employment and parenthood
    • The difficult work of deprogramming learned behavior and mindset related to ownership
    • The equally difficult work of inventing your own relationship structures from scratch
    • Legal issues surrounding things like marriage, power of attorney, cant have all partners visit in hospital (say)
    • More variables in basically every decision made, generally more complicated navigating the needs / boundaries of 3+ people instead of just two

    Pros:

    • Unparalleled personal autonomy for all parties involved
    • Freedom to hand-tailor relationships to meet specific needs, preferences, and circumstances
    • A much wider variety of unique partners
    • No need to put too "weight" on any one person, or having too much "weight" placed by anyone else, to be the sole provider of needs and relational happiness
    • Opportunity to breathe new life into stagnating relationships
