    Today Justice Cālo Reign and Dr. LéNetta Banks facilitated a panel discussion around open, polyamorous, and/or sex-positive relationships. The panel consisted of a diverse group of people who subscribe to non-traditional relationships: Tanya Brakeman, a self-described straight, monogamish, kinky, predominantly lifestyle Domina to power hungry submissive by occasion. Creator of Revel: The Audacity of Ecstasy, a course that helps people revive their original values sets and their unique power dynamic. Jacob Rodvelt-Gamlieli, Gay Lover, Entertainer, Dance Instructor, Performing Artist, Comedian, Travel Enthusiast, Fitness Addict, and Event Organizer who flows between open and monogamous relationships. Cathy Octave McGowen and Brian Gilmore: Brian self-identifies as a straight poly/swinger, and Cathy identifies as a Bi poly/swinger. They are both new to open relationships and in relationship with one another. How does someone break away from the very strong societal pull to traditional relationships? How do these relationships work, and what, if any, is the benefit to them. We had a great conversation surrounding it all!
