Okay, so they didn't say they want that thing and NOT you, but worse! They want to fulfill something that is entirely about them and doesn't seem to be centered around your needs or what you were hoping was going to happen. What the frack do you do now? 🤔🤔🤔Join Ashe and Jessamyn as we explain our way out of the paper bag of confusion surrounding what could happen when your life, and your partnership, is not going the way you want (and we are not talking about choosing the wrong dinner spot). Can you locate the things in yourself that you are holding back because you are scared your partner won't like it? Are you secretly wishing those things would just go away? Are you being hard on what they are telling you because you think that loving someone and wanting to own them are mostly the same thing? Is polyamory scary because it is actually what you secretly want but are scared to do it wrong? 🧩🧩🧩

Should our question-asker:   A) try the threesome again, see what she thinks and then decide   B) trust her gut, tell him to kick rocks, encourage him to just go for it with his co-worker Amber, spend some time alone thinking about what she wants, and masturbate     C) Stick it out, stay with him and come up with a compromise that will work for everyone   D) Break up with him and ask Amber out on a date without him   E) Decide nothing and dream of a day when her self-worth is not tied up in her partner's sexual attraction       F) prioritize herself, smoke some weed, chill out, take a bath, think about the things she needs in life to feel well, read a book, journal, communicate with her partner, try some new things, reconnect with herself, do yoga on The Underbelly, and engage with her pleasure in small ways all the time.   Tell us what you think after the show! 🤔🤔🤔   Jessamyn thinks that there is no way to meet someone that you might want to spend the rest of your monogamous life with by age 30, and Ashe tends to agree. Jessamyn also is really good at White People Mad Libs, defines "Diet Desire" as wanting something but not being direct and settling for less than the thing you really wanted, and admits to thinking that threesomes are generally more trouble than they are worth. Substitute Ashe's name for Jessamyn's back there and we would be knee-deep in a game of Two Truths and A Lie. 🍎🍎🍊   Mentioned in this episode:The Underbelly Yoga, now offering a quarantine-friendly free 14-day trial when you sign up on the website, https://browse.theunderbelly.com/checkout/subscribe/purchase🧘🏾‍♂️🖤💨Ted's of Vermont 1-hour Deodorant, this product does not exist, but if you have ever used a natural deodorant, you get where we are coming from. ⛺️⛰🧼

Jessamyn and Ashe are inviting in the ability to stop, and the reality of change. They reflect on their life since fully moving into the trailer, and how their dynamics have shifted. One of the new additions to their life in paradise is an increased time spent at the gym — specifically luxuriating in the showers of Planet Fitness. But also working out with your partner as inspiration vs. competition.  The pair gets back into Sex and the Titty with “Ghost Town” (season four, episode five), where Carrie wonders if she should go to Aidan and Steve’s bar opening. Begging the question: What will serve us in this moment?During the Astrothought of the Week, Jessamyn and Ashe review Chani’s The Week Ahead podcast which reflects on the week of August 1st - and the importance of knowing it is not possible to amass the power of the outside world. “Leo's show us that the whole point of our existence is to just shine.”Follow us on Instagram @DearJessamyn and find and follow the show on Spotify. There's a bunch more info on the episode like behind the scenes content, transcriptions had find us and our team and more.

Jessamyn and ashe are settling into their new life in the camper/RV/trailer, and discuss what it is like to engage with close family friends, close family family, and inviting in being open to all the feelings, without pretending they are not happening. The chaos has gone down so much since they moved, and they are about to set sail on they journey that is going to take them far from home. They are nervous and excited.  After leaving Cancer season with a bang, ashe speculates that they were using this to catch up on all the shenanigans they couldn't in 2020. Chaos is her resting posture after all (or so she says).The pair discuss a recent breakup ashe had, and the tendency for partnership privilege to create weird power problems in polyamorous dating. Mean to or not, sometimes perception is impossible to get out of your head when you want what someone has.With the new moon in Leo, Jessamyn reflects on the ways that she is grateful for the Leos in her life, all of whom encourage everyone to shine Unless they are having a bad day.  Follow us on Instagram @DearJessamyn and find and follow the show on Spotify. There's a bunch more info on the episode like behind the scenes content, transcriptions had find us and our team and more.

Can we just say something right off the bat? This episode is pretty fricken fantastic. Our co-hosts ashe and Jessamyn are inviting in (2:28) the t͓̽r͓̽e͓̽m͓̽b͓̽l͓̽e͓̽s͓̽ of balance on the seesaw of life and the complexity that goes with all of it.Carrie asks about social and romantic caste systems and our Deary Queery inquires on cannabis use on Jessamyn’s public platforms. We mention Underbelly Yoga, We Go High North Carolina and the April 17th  Yoga on High event.Follow us on Instagram @DearJessamyn and find and follow the show on Spotify.

This week, Jessamyn and Ashe start this off by (2:24) inviting patience and sleep, and discuss the importance of rest amongst the chaos of passion projects. In Sex and the Titty, we grabbed a question of Carrie’s from season 2, episode 4 of Sex and the City (8:28); “Has fear of being alone suddenly raised the bar on faking? Are we faking more than orgasms? Is it better to be faking it than to be alone?” By the title of this episode, you can probably tell where this conversation is going. To wrap it all up, the Astro-thought of the week (23:38) is filled with waning Aries energy. As Jessamyn says: “letting the fire burn and letting shit be hot and letting it be hard. And letting things be confusing and dark and everything all at the same time.”:Follow us on Instagram @DearJessamyn and find and follow the show on Spotify.

Every  Queer has a coming-out story worth telling. In this episode, Jessamyn and Ashe tell thiers, and uncover how some pieces of their identities came to be, in the context of two very different southern families. Ashe tells all about moving in with Jessamyn and her metamour and how that process has quickly escalated into someone's butch housewife HGTV show fantasy. AKA- Jessamyn accuses Ashe of having knack for making a house a home.We both give us the deets on Jessamyn’s scooter accident last summer, and weigh in on interracial relationships, racism in healthcare, and why visibility is essential for the safety of polyamorous families like ours. Janie Ledford is to blame for our fabulous episode art. Find her kicking her feet up over at janieledford.com. We hope our theme song got you groovin’! You can thank Fruit Snack for that, they’ve got plenty of other tunes at fruitsnack.bandcamp.com. Are you following us on Instagram?

the Trevor Project does a really great job defining it. This week’s XL episode picks up where we left off on Tuesday exploring how asexuality and polyamory, can work together to make a happy union. That's assuming you're dating someone who is not Asexual and assuming you're only dating one person in your romantic relationship. Polyamory, pretty much just asks for radical honesty and if you can pull that, odds are you'll hurt a couple of people a little less over the years. Can't count on much more. What teen movie features the opening number of today's episode??? Tell us what you think @dearjessamyn on IG.Janie Leopard designs our episode art, she hangs out over at janieledford.com. We love her, like a lot. Fruit Snack is the sweetest little queer band behind our theme song, they’ve got lots of other tunes over yonder on Bandcamp. Sending another little love note over to Anna Rooney & Chaz VanHoose, office mom & social media queen, respectively. Check out the cannabis census at We Go High!#NoOneShouldBeInJailForWeedDrop page.xoxo, Jessamyn & Ashe

In this episode, we expound on Tuesday’s episode, but in case you missed here’s the tl;dr: our question-asker is curious about the polyamorous life but is hesitant when it comes to times when we’re a little needier of a partner’s attention- think job changes, babies, moving- all the big stuff. So the question is born: how does one do “sometimes poly”? It takes a whole lotta communication, respect, & boundary setting- plus the understanding that once you open pandora’s box, it’s gonna be really f*cking hard to close.We also get into identities, open relationships versus polyamory, hierarchical polyamory, andshowing up to everyone equally. There’s a whole lotta yummy yum in this one, don’t miss it!!Did we mention The Underbelly Yoga? What about the 14-day FREE trial?! What are you waiting for???Our theme song is all thanks to Fruit Snack! Imagine if your favorite band made your very own theme song! How did we get so LUCKY?!Speaking of lucky, Janie Leopard!!!!!! Aside from being a digital cowgirl over at Wrangler, she makes our episode art!!! Life’s amazing when you let it be. Special thanks to Anna Rooney, resident office mom & queen of getting shit done. And Chaz VanHoose! You can thank her for the IG playground called @dearjessamyn.As always, #NoOneShouldBeInJailForWeed, shoutout to We Go High. Drop page.xoxo, Jessamyn & Ashe

We’ve missed you, dearies!! We’re calling this one “To Love More Fully XL,” and if you’re in the business of loving, this is the shit we’ve all been meaning to work on! So maybe you and your long term boo are looking into polyamory- things might be a little stale and you’re both cool with it, maybe you have always been curious--as long as nobody falls in love, right? WRONG! Rules are made to be broken, baby girl. We’ve been there. Nobody wants to feel the pain of watching your lover fall in love with somebody else. But it’s probably gonna happen at some point in poly, and being okay with that is exactly what it means to love more fully.Loving fully means going deeper in yourself. Just like everything ever discussed in our show, you’ve gotta get to the root if you want to heal. Codependency, self-perception, projection, insecurities & all that heavy sh*t that we tend to avoid, healing those deep symptoms is the money shot. Whether you practice polyamory or are looking to start, this question is likely something you’ll encounter along the way. This question is one of the most relatable and touching thus far, so tune in- you’re in for a treat.Did we mention The Underbelly? Can’t recall. Anyways, if you’re looking for a space to heal and be seen- this is the virtual yoga studio for you. Here’s a 14-day free trial if you’d like to take a peek <3We owe it all to Fruit Snack, they make our theme song. Amongst a million other really great & super lovely little tracks. Check ‘em out!While you’re checkin’ things out- Janie Leopard. Janie F*CKING Leopard. She really does this sh*t. And by this sh*t, we mean our episode art. Eternally grateful.Sending the biggest hugs to the rest of our team. Anna Rooney gets shit done. Chaz VanHoose is responsible for the loveliest little space that is @dearjessamyn.P.S. No one should be in jail for weed. Check out We Go High.xoxo, Jessamyn & Ashe

Are you dreaming of the day quarantine is over, and you can finally head over to your friend's house so you can ruin your friendship with sex? We are too. I mean, what else are we thinking about these days? Ashe and Jessamyn finish their conversation about compersion, having sex with friends, having good communication with friends later and deciding that you don't need to do that anymore, and ultimately, loving yourself. I know you are shocked at that one. In this episode, we mention an entirely fake hookup app that we made up because we think it should exist. And then we realized that hookup apps are somewhat a thing of the past, or at least they should be right now, please. Stay safe out there, y'all. We're in this together means, please stay home if you can and be careful with your precious life. And everyone else's. The Underbelly Yoga app is offering a free 14-day trial. If you are looking for the yoga app that you can do while your man is (staying home but thinking about being) on a date, and has left you wishing you had never gotten the two of you in this poly-curious mess to begin with, and now you are out here doing at-home yoga trying to do some self-care instead of wallowing in jealousy. No? Just our story??? Try The Underbelly Yoga. You'll thank yourself. Every one of our lovely artworkpieces is by @JanieLeopard, a genius with a marker or a stylus! (Say that three times fast). Look at more stuff she does at her website, janieleopard,comIt's a bird! Its a plane! Its a Fruit Snack!? Listen to our theme song, and amazing other internationally recognized hits like Puppies, 911! and Big Gay Love Song.

Ever wanted to get it on with somebody who’s not your partner? We definitely have and so has our question-asker (and if you haven’t, you just might after this quarantine business…) So what happens if you and your partner can’t come to an agreement about getting your d*ck wet??? Are you destined to break up? Not necessarily but it's definitely a bit more serious than compromising on dinner plans….We’ve got a few options for you:Instead ask the question, “Dear Jessamyn, how do I effectively break up with someone whom I love dearly?”Become a CIA-level liar…. To be honest, we wouldn’t recommend it.Compromise - depending on how this goes, you might end up in some kind of ubiquitous cloud of emotional lustJokes aside, these questions usually lead back to your relationship with yourself- understanding your needs and what needs to happen for you. Oh, and in case you find yourself thinking about f*cking someone who’s not your partner, you might ask: does this make me polyamorous? No! But also, maybe? Nothing wrong with a little self-exploration (as long as it’s done ethically, babes).This episode is packed full of good stuff. Check it out when you get a hot sec. Find your hosts: @mynameisjessamyn and @ashedngrphoenixWe’ve been loving The Underbelly. If you're looking for an inclusive yoga practice, look no further! And guess what? A free 14-day trial in light of Covid-19. Tell your friends and head over to their website to get started! You like our episode art? Us too.

If you had your dream metamour situation, what would it be? Sister wives (or sibling spouse, as ashe calls them)? Don't ask, don't tell? Best friends? Brunch at the house? Do you want kids with your triad? Do you want a long-distance boo who has a primary partner? Do you want your metamours to come to your birthday party? Do you want to go to theirs? Listen to What the F**k is a Metamour XL (but don't put asterisks in the title of your podcast or it may not publish until you learn the hard way by realizing that your show didn't publish that way and then figure it out and fix it manually) and find out our answers to this same question.

"How can I possibly be okay with my boyfriend wanting a threesome when I'm not interested and I wish he wasn't too?" Should our question-asker:   A) try the threesome again, see what she thinks and then decide    B) trust her gut, tell him to kick rocks, encourage him to just go for it with his co-worker Amber, spend some time alone thinking about what she wants, and masturbate     C) Stick it out, stay with him and come up with a compromise that will work for everyone     D) Break up with him and ask Amber out on a date without him    E) Decide nothing and dream of a day when her self-worth is not tied up in her partner's sexual attraction        F) prioritize herself, smoke some weed, chill out, take a bath, think about the things she needs in life to feel well, read a book, journal, communicate with her partner, try some new things, reconnect with herself, do yoga on The Underbelly, and engage with her pleasure in small ways all the time.    Tell us what you think after the show! 🤔🤔🤔    Jessamyn thinks that there is no way to meet someone that you might want to spend the rest of your monogamous life with by age 30, and Ashe tends to agree. Jessamyn also is really good at White People Mad Libs, defines "Diet Desire" as wanting something but not being direct and settling for less than the thing you really wanted, and admits to thinking that threesomes are generally more trouble than they are worth. Substitute Ashe's name for Jessamyn's back there and we would be knee-deep in a game of Two Truths and A Lie. 🍎🍎🍊We each talk about threesomes we have had, define emotional violence for ourselves and get down into how to spot some oh-so-common manipulative ways of getting into a threesome. 🥉We say the word blouse twice in this episode, and don't typically say blouse in real life. Let us know how you feel about the word blouse if you like. 👚👚👚    Mentioned in this episode:The Underbelly Yoga, now offering a quarantine-friendly free 14-day trial when you sign up on the website, https://browse.theunderbelly.com/checkout/subscribe/purchase 🧘🏾‍♂️🖤💨Ted's of Vermont 1-hour Deodorant, this product does not exist, but if you have ever used a natural deodorant, you get where we are coming from. ⛺️⛰🧼    As usual and lucky us, Janie Leopard composed this very lovely episode art, as well as our logo and a bunch of other things that our jaws are stubbornly stuck to the floor over.

Polyamory; for all the sex and fun and swinging from chandeliers with Sia, healthy poly relationships require so much communication, it can be dizzying. (*Also, don't try the chandelier thing at home*) Constantly challenging the status quo just by being yourself, is not all cheap thrills. It can feel isolating fast, even for seasoned pros. Even crazier, is when those conversations steer toward your partner starting to dating someone else for the first time. All of a sudden, your elastic heart may not feel so bulletproof. The personal work you have been avoiding in yourself can leave you feeling jealous and like you are NOT the greatest alive. Maybe polyamory will never shine bright like a diamond to you, there is always room to hear your partner tell their truth. That truth might make you feel validated, but it might also make big girls cry. Either way, accessing the truth about these feelings in yourself, and starting to share them, is one of the only ways we know of to make your connection as strong as titanium. Join Jessamyn and Ashe as we irreverently hold space for some of these topics and more on this episode of Dear Jessamyn,  Polyamory is Not For Everybody XLOur theme music is by some wild ones called Fruit Snack. They have a website called fruitsnack.bandcamp.com and on instagram they are @fruitsnackncAll of our episode art is by this Janie Leopard character, she hangs out at janieleopard.com and @janieleopard on instagram.

May her memory be a blessing. <3

Picking up the thread from episode 1, we still want to know, can you choose betwee polyamory or monogamy? Is Sexual Identity A Choice? What if your partner used to be polyamorous but now they are with you and y'all are monogamous? Did your partner change who they are? Did they change for you? Is that even a thing? Are they definitely, secretly cheating on you, as Jessamyn believes about most people? 🤔🤔🤔Join Ashe and Jessamyn as we go even more in-depth than we did the other day about if we think we choose our sexual identities, or there is some other plot afoot. We both get vulnerable about past relationships that have asked us some of these very same questions, and we share what we answered then, and how we would address them now. We even share a little bit about our own polyamorous relationship structure and constellation.  🌕🌞✨🌌 Oh, lord. Find out some of Ashe and Jessamyn's highly-opinionated responses to these questions and others, in this VERY FIRST XL episode of Dear Jessamyn! 🎉🎉🎉In this episode, we mentioned The Underbelly Yoga App and theunderbelly.com.
