"Isn't that cat toes?"


Today, in the second half of their conversation, our heroes from last week continue on their epic Quest For Answers About Coming Out.


...Wait, wrong genre.





They do have a nice conversation including a bunch of strategies for how to handle situations where folks have negative or shocked reactions to information on polyamory, as well as some funny stories about people getting things Very Wrong because the monogamous programming is strong with them. (that's where the cat's toes come in.)


Regardless of whether you come out often, once, or not yet, these two podcast episodes taken together have good information for you.


I am deeply thankful to all my guests for being willing to share personal stories of their pasts for these episodes. Jami and Brian are friends of the blog and podcast who have been polyamorous for several years and share much of their background story in Part I of the Coming Out podcasts; Corwin is a frequent podcast guest and occasional guest writer for the blog who is the owner and operator of Upline, CT's premier rope studio. You can find him at www.uplinestudio.com. He's been non-monogamous for eight years. Seva is his partner and a co-teacher at the studio, who's been polyamorous for seven years. Daniel GreenWolf is my metamour as well as a talented magician and performer. His site and upcoming virtual show information can be found at www.DanielGreenwolf.com. You can find more information about all the guests from the podcast here.

One of the most enjoyable aspects is my feeling of satisfaction after a tough night. At the beginning, the FNAF Online overwhelms you with fear, but then you slowly start understanding its rules and mechanics. Managing to reach the end is my proof of the fact that I have mastered them.

Números Que Más Salen es un recurso interesante para quienes disfrutan consultar estadísticas y tendencias. También me pareció inspiradora esta entrevista sobre los patinadores que representarán a Armenia en los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno 2026. Les deseo mucho éxito y felicidades por este importante logro deportivo.

An incredibly validating and resourceful guide to navigating the complexities of coming out as polyamorous, offering a perfect blend of practical, real-world survival strategies and lighthearted humor to dismantle the retro games rigid barriers of standard monogamous conditioning.

This was such a helpful discussion, especially the practical advice on navigating potentially awkward reactions – it’s a reminder that anticipating those responses can really ease the process. The "monogamous programming" observation really resonated, it’s funny how deeply ingrained those assumptions are for everyone involved. I appreciate how openly everyone shared their experiences; it makes these conversations feel so much more real and relatable.

The initial aspect of ragdoll hit that requires comprehension is that your stickman does not behave in the same manner as a character in Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. There are no combo inputs. There are no unique move sequences that must be memorised. Your character is subject to the laws of physics, including momentum, gravity, and torque. Your responsibility is to direct this pandemonium in the appropriate direction.
