Psychologist, TED speaker and “Passion” radio host Dr. Laurie Betito stops by the Goldwater home to discuss monogamy and related issues like polyamory, marriage and divorce. Is monogamy sustainable? Is love? Are we stuck in a “mononormative” culture? Can non-monogamy save your relationship or just spectacularly destroy it?

You can also watch Dr. Laurie’s TED talks here:

 

Passion vs. sex: ensuring the viability of your relationship (TEDxJacksonHole)

Dr. Laurie is also taking on a new role as an online sexual educator at the Pornhub Sexual Wellness Center, where patrons of the adult website can find important health information and resources.
