Do you have Valentine’s Day plans for tomorrow with your sweetheart? Or maybe with two, three or four sweethearts? The Bay Area has the largest polyamorist community in the country, and it’s growing. Polyamory encompasses a variety of consensual, non-monogomous relationships, from a couple who occasionally sees other people to a group of seven all living together in a group relationship. We talk with a panel of polyamorists about the how and why of their relationships.

Guests:

Polly Superstar Whittaker, author of the memoir "Polly: Sex Culture Revolutionary" and founder of the San Francisco sex positive communities Mission Control and Kinky Salon

William Winters, non-monogamous community organizer

Pepper Mint, member of a polyamorous relationship for 12 years

Marcia Baczynski, open relationship coach and author of an e-book on becoming non-monogamous, "Four Mistakes Couples Make When Opening UP and How to Avoid Them"
