Alternative Relationships and Love Styles Coaching Sessions Jaiya offers private coaching sessions that assist partners and individuals in the development and continued growth of relating in an alternative relationship or love style. The following are some things you may work with or experience during a coaching session: * Working with Intentions, Boundaries, and Projections Rates and Time Commitment Initial Session (90 Minutes)- $150 More Information Jaiya has been practicing alternative relationships for 10 years. She began experimenting with open relationships, meaning that she and her partner were open to exploring the possibility of being with other people sexually. Years later she would discover the term “Polyamory”, which means “many loves”. Jaiya has been in a successful polyamorous relationship for almost 6 years now. Her and her partner experienced such deep and intense love for each that they wondered if they could give that gift of love to other people. They discovered that they could and from there they began to share their love with many. This does not mean that they had many sexual partners, in fact, until recently they only shared intercourse with each other. As you learn more about polyamory you will see that it is practiced in many different forms based upon the agreements of each couple. ”Love is denied so much- and love is the rarest thing in the world; it should not be denied. If a man can love five persons, he should love five. If a man can love fifty, he should love fifty. If a man can love five hundred, he should love five hundred. Love is so rare that the more you can spread it the better. But there are great tricks- you are forced into a narrow, very narrow, corner. You can love only your wife, you can love only your husband, you can love only this, you can love only that- the conditions are too much. It is as if there was a law that you can breathe only when you are with your wife, you can breathe only when you are with your husband. Than breathing will become impossible! Then you will die, and you will not even be able to breathe while you are with your wife or with your husband. You have to breathe twenty-four hours a day. BE LOVING.” - OSHO Types of Alternative Relationships Open Relationships- As with most of the types of alternative relationships Open Relationships vary depending upon the people participating in them. Usually there is some type of agreement about being with other people. For some open relationships it is okay to be sexual but to not fall in love, or it is only okay to play sexually when the other partner is present, or with other couples. Swingers- Swingers are sexually open in their relationships. They may have sexual encounters with other couples, or with individuals. They often go to clubs or parties where they interact with other people through sensuality or sexual intercourse. There is often a misconception that swingers are all about the sex, in some cases that may be true, but there are definitely swingers who connect at a heart level with people in their group. Polyamory- Polyamory is mostly about loving others in an open way which allows true freedom in relationship. As with most alternative relationships each one is different due to the agreements that each person makes with another. Polyamory seems to be more about connecting on a deep level and forming long term relationships with people, although that is not always the case. In some instances couples will decide to be primary partners and maybe bring in secondary partners. This often happens with married couples. There is also polyfidelity which is a group of people who are committed to the group and do not take outside lovers. This is similar to polyfamily, which is the same idea, but outside lovers are allowed. Polygamy- Polygamy is often confused with Polyamory, but they are very different. In polygamy the couple is married and usually the man takes on other wives, meaning that there are multiple marriages. When a woman takes on many husbands it is called polyandry. The relationship is still often confined by societal norms as opposed to being defined by the agreements of the partners involved.
