About this listen

Good news! You can leave the constraints of monogamy behind, and step into the delightful possibilities of polyamory and open relationships. By understanding and practicing nonmonogamy, you can live to the limits of your romantic and erotic desires, while building networks of relationships that nourish and challenge you.

But it's a lot harder than it looks, and living openly will test you. Are you able to navigate discussions of jealousy with responsibility and care? Can you reject self-sabotaging patterns of selfishness and deceit? Will you employ your strength and confidence to meet the emotional needs of multiple connections.

If you’re looking to rise to the occasion, then this is the book for you! Within, you'll learn the skills and tools you'll need to navigate conscientious nonmonogamy and find your way to your fantasies.

Critic Reviews

"In my 30 years of nonmonogamous relationships, I’ve made just about every mistake there is to make. I wish I’d had a book like Playing Fair to get me going in the right direction all those years ago.”—Franklin Veaux, co-author, More Than Two and The Game Changer

"Pepper’s direct yet compassionate guidance provides apt compensation for the short shrift our society often gives men in terms of self-awareness, empathy, and relationship communication. This book should be required reading for all straight or bi men seeking healthy relationships of any kind!”—Cunning Minx, creator, the Polyamory Weekly podcast

"Nonmonogamy has needed this book and didn’t even know it. Pepper Mint offers gentle and frank advice for men who date women on how to ethically navigate nonmonogamy while being aware of power structures and gendered social norms. By addressing and guiding the reader through complex emotional labor, Playing Fair models how to be a supportive partner to women while being supportive to the reader."—Kitty Stryker, editor, Ask: Building Consent Culture
