The Practicalities of Polyamory with "Monogamy? In this Economy?" Author Laura Boyle

For the 174th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Laura Boyle, author of Monogamy? In this Economy?: Finances, Childrearing, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory (https://bookshop.org/a/85623/9781805011187) .

In this interview, Laura Boyle shares her personal journey into polyamory, which began at age 19, and how she later became a relationship coach and educator on the topic. The conversation delves into the practical aspects of polyamorous relationships, including managing finances, child-rearing, and cohabitation—the subject of Boyle's latest book. Boyle highlights key findings from her research, such as the prevalence of three-adult households in polyamory and the challenges of navigating custody battles with non-polyamorous ex-partners. The discussion also explores the growing interest in non-monogamy, the stigma surrounding polyamory, and Boyle's philosophy as a relationship anarchist.
