Today we are joined by award-winning author and certified sex & relationships psychotherapist Gigi Engle.

We talk about how shame can manifest around sex and sexuality, why it can be so hard to overcome and some strategies to beat it. We also discuss stigmas, stereotypes and hypersexualistion that are often applied to non-monog folk, plus we delve into the power of masturbation.

First, Rich and Siobhan discuss some recent news stories around non-monogamy and the possible economic benefits of being poly!
