Cheers Sexy People!
I am absolutely thrilled and honored to announce our this special feature podcast episode. This special feature is the recording of the first panel of “Poly Talks and Wry Relationships: The Ethical Slut” featuring Janet Hardy. This is recorded in Brooklyn, New York on September 10, 2016. In this podcast, I am participating on a panel with Wry from A Wry Perspective; NY-based relationship coach, Effy Blue; and Janet Hardy, co-author of “The Ethical Slut”. I wrote a full writeup about this event here on the blog. It brings me great joy to be able to share this incredible session with you all here at Loving Without Boundaries. It was an absolute privilege to be able to finally meet Janet in person, someone who has touched my life so deeply with what she and her co-author shared in her mind-blowing book. To be able to discuss complex ideas regarding polyamory and ethical non-monogamy on stage in front of a live audience was an hour of my life that I will never ever forget. I am filled with gratitude and joy at the opportunity. Wry, you are an incredible badass for putting this event together. I freaking love the shit outta you! And it feels great to have someone as amazing as you in my life and on my team! Yay!
To learn more, here is Janet Hardy’s full bio from her website:
Janet W. Hardy is the author or coauthor of twelve groundbreaking books about relationships and sexuality, including The Ethical Slut (nearly 200,000 copies sold to date, including the second edition published in 2009 by Random House), Spanking for Lovers, and her recent memoir Girlfag: A Life Told In Sex and Musicals.
Janet has traveled the world as a speaker and teacher on topics ranging from ethical multipartner relationships to erotic spanking and beyond. She has appeared in documentary films (Slut, Beyond Vanilla, Vice and Consent, BDSM: It’s Not What You Think), television shows (The Drum, SexTV, The Dr. Susan Block Show), and more radio shows than she can count.
Janet’s writing has appeared in publications as various as The Sondheim Review, Clamor andEIDOS. Her book Girlfag: A Life Told In Sex and Musicals was a finalist for both the Lambda Literary Award and the Bisexual Book Award, and her essay “Ex” was a finalist in the Event and New Letters creative nonfiction contests. “The Portal,” a very personal essay about vaginas and their relationship to gender (which is not necessarily what one might think), appeared in Best Sex Writing 2010 (Cleis Press, 2009), and “The Old Folks At Home,” an essay about aging in an ambiguously gendered relationship, appeared in Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation (Seal Press, 2010).
Janet serves as Editorial Director for Greenery Press, the firm she founded in 1992, as well as for Down There Press. She also runs The Active Voice, which offers editorial, event and promotional consulting.
She often fantasizes about being handcuffed to Stephen Sondheim’s piano.
Thank you Wry, for putting this event together, for generously asking me to be on the panel, and for sharing your thoughts, wisdom and insights with us via the presentation and this podcast interview! And of course, special thanks to Janet Hardy for helping me feel welcome as well as respected sharing the stage with you. I was completely honored.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Part Two that will be out next week!
