#58 Jaymin - From a Vow of Celibacy to Threesomes While Married

[Verse]
I felt his soul drift inside me
Whispers soft as the night
He's calling me to meet him
Where the stars lose their light

[Chorus]
Meet me in the shadows he said
Find me where dreams ignite
Touch the spaces in between
Where day surrenders to night

[Verse 2]
I follow his voice
It's haunting
Through the haze of my mind
In the dark
I'm not frightened
His touch
So tender
Kind

[Chorus]
Meet me in the shadows he said
Find me where dreams ignite
Touch the spaces in between
Where day surrenders to night

[Bridge]
Lost in moments
Suspended
Time fades
Hearts combine
In that realm
We are endless
Souls entwined
Divine

[Chorus]
Meet me in the shadows he said
Find me where dreams ignite
Touch the spaces in between
Where day surrenders to night

Off On A Tangent - S9, E5

Polyamory from a woman’s perspective with two male partners.

Poly Princess-Unmastered

The word Polyamory comes from ancient Greek and Latin, quite literally translating to “many love”. It is desiring or being in multiple intimate relationships at the same time with the full knowledge and consent of all parties involved. 

We're here today to explore what that means in a Nigerian context, so, now that we’re all caught up, let's introduce you to our poly folk…

Jafar: A 25-year-old polyamorous man living in Ibadan, Osun state, who has been in multiple poly relationships, but is currently monogamous with his partner. We spoke about how his neurodivergence shaped his love life (he’s autistic), and why he doesn’t understand “jealousy”. Oh, there was also some stuff about how he was introduced to BDSM at 17, but you’ll have to get into it yourself to find out the details. 


I've never understood jealousy...

We're here today to explore wat that means in a Nigerian context, so, now that we’re all caught up, let's introduce you to our poly folk…

Timi: A 22-year-old Lagos babe working as an executive assistant and currently in two poly relationships with two women. She gushed about how being loved by women as a woman genuinely changed her life, her “straight era”, the importance of being a strict babe, what cheating looks like to her, and the one time a couple approached her. She also coined the phrase “Real lover scarcity”, and we must give 10s where they are due. 


I love without measure...

In this anniversary episode of That Black Couple, Jenn and Darren celebrate 19 years of marriage and 22 years of being together. They dive into the dynamics of their non-traditional relationship, discussing their unique identities as a monogamous person and a polyamorous person. The couple shares insights on communication, the importance of understanding one's own needs, and how to navigate love and relationships outside of societal norms. Join them as they reflect on their journey and provide valuable tips for anyone interested in exploring polyamory.

S8E4 - Celebrating 19 Years of Marriage

This song is about being polyamorous and proud along with the struggles of what I along with many other poly types have faced in their lives. To express that there is nothing wrong with having a more open and expanding version of love where others are more confined because love is not a box nor lives in a box. The only choice you have is how YOU choose to love, but you will never choose how I or others choose to love. 

[Verse]
Hearts that shimmer like the stars in the night
Love that's boundless
Endless in its flight
They see us through their narrow
Clouded lens
But love's a circle
It never ends

[Chorus]
Infinite love
It expands and it grows
A garden of feelings
Where everyone knows
No chains
No limits
Just hearts that connect
A tapestry of care
A bond to protect

[Verse 2]
They ask their questions
They can't comprehend
How love can flourish without an end
They think we're broken
They think we're confused
But our hearts are open
Never to be abused

[Chorus]
Infinite love
It expands and it grows
A garden of feelings
Where everyone knows
No chains
No limits
Just hearts that connect
A tapestry of care
A bond to protect

[Bridge]
One love doesn't erase another's flame
Each soul we cherish
No need to blame
Jealousy's a shadow
Trust is the light
Together we shine
Hearts burning bright

[Verse 3]
So judge if you must
But we stand proud
Voices united
Singing out loud
Poly is not broken
It's beautifully whole
It's love without borders
It's love of the soul

Infinite Love Expands

In this episode of That Black Couple, Jenn and Daren discuss the complexities of parenting while being polyamorous, addressing common misconceptions and societal concerns. They explore the benefits of polyamorous households for children, emphasizing open communication, community support, and the importance of diverse experiences. The conversation highlights the need for honesty and authenticity in parenting, ultimately showcasing how polyamory can contribute to raising well-adjusted, happy children.

S8E5 - Parenting While Black and Polyamorous

‘Blisters like a bullet – mixing intrigue, yearning, surprises and spice to create a story unlike any you’ve consumed before. And trust me – it’s delicious’ Jodi Picoult, No.1 NYT bestselling author

“Truly a breath of fresh air romantasy unlike anything I’ve ever read' Hannah Nicole Maehrer, #1 NYT bestselling author 

 Who should you trust?

Warrior King Maddox Kyronan’s fire magic has earned him a ruthless reputation. But now his kingdom is slowly burning, a blaze he cannot control, and his one chance to save it is a marriage alliance with the neighbouring royal family of Astranza and their power to manipulate the weather.

Who should you love?

As war looms on the horizon, Princess Jory’s home needs this alliance. But her family is hiding a dangerous secret: their magic is fading. When she meets her intended he sets her heart aflame, but what will he do when he realises she’s deceiving him?

Who should you kill?

Once a young nobleman causing mischief with Jory in Astranza’s palace, Asher is now part of the Hunter’s Guild. When a lucrative job arises, he can't refuse – until he sees the targets. Someone wants King Maddox and Princess Jory dead. Now Asher must decide what he’s willing to do to protect the woman he loves and the king she’s about to marry.

Family Business S1E4 "Festival" (Berlin Dj Mix Progressive House & Melodic Techno) [languages music]

Love ‘n Color is an upbeat relationship and lifestyle podcast. It’s goal is to educate and entertain, as well as amplify the voices of marginalized communities and folx in non-traditional relationships.

I create both images and music (original, AI-assisted, covers and collaborations). Often need to be in meditation to heal from pain and nerve damage; I apologize if I don't respond to more collab requests until I am in a better place. Namaste, Airie 🙏

Autodidact and musician since childhood; producing electronic music since 2012, originally joined SoundCloud circa 2017. I've lived Straightedge (Vegan & Sober) for many years, which rewarded me with a spiritual (Kundalini) awakening since 2018.

Earned my B.A. degree in Music from Western University (clarinet, 2005) and Fanshawe College Office Administration certificate (2016). I've always loved being a student 💜

During the pandemic, like many folks I was in crisis and lost almost all of my tracks. Very grateful to one of my biggest supporters on SoundCloud, the talented Magi©ian™ (Making music make a difference) for having bought my solo works from 2018-2020 that were on Bandcamp, and for him sending them to me ✨

I want to live in a world that's run by Volunteer/Resource-Based/Gift/Sharing economic and Yogic principles, but these principles not yet consistently practiced in tandem with capitalism, has been detrimental to the physical, mental, financial and spiritual health of myself and many others.

I feel the "cerebral" but unnatural discordant 440Hz standard frequency of music is a cause of anxiety, nervous system damage, chakra imbalances and overthinking. Really, I think 440Hz isn't very cerebral because it's a cause of congestion in the upper chakras and thus hinders spiritual awakening (ascension) and cultural progress. So my works are an example to advocate for musicians to return to 432Hz, because it's an energetically healing sound frequency. Over time, listeners of 432Hz and other solfeggio natural frequencies will feel a balancing effect within their energy bodies. I started noticing effects within a few years of listening sober and vegan. It may be difficult now to notice with the electrosmog and other environmental toxins that aren't able to be cleaned much.

I am a singer, songwriter who also is very involved with my production. I don’t fit into just one genre and I love doing cross over elements in my music. I have lots of projects in the works. Most of this is preview content, or completely raw versions of songs.

#languages, because music of any kind is also a form of universal language. 
Music in its endless diversity achieves to reach anyone in any language! 
Free of any worldly restrictions we define our sound with a focus on the diversity of music. 

#languages music has its home in Berlin and we strive to show the city's many facets 
from the perspective of  Berlin childs.
 
#languages music stands for house music of varied styles, 
from deep and melodic sounds to progressive and driving grooves. 
We love unconventional electronic music produced by artists with sincerity and passion, 
creating art!
