In this Sex with Emily episode, Dr. Emily sits down with cultural anthropologist Dr. Wednesday Martin, who’s revealing something publicly for the first time—her three-year journey in an open marriage after two decades of traditional monogamy.
The surprising research about which gender actually struggles more with long-term monogamy (hint: it’s not who you think).
Why the biggest misconception about open relationships has nothing to do with sex—and everything to do with Google calendars and exhausting conversations.
What happened when she put “six feet and over, must be cliterate” in her dating profile—and why being brutally specific actually works.
The attachment style that predicts whether you’ll thrive or spiral in non-monogamy, according to the data.
A husband whose wife just laid down five rules and told him to get a girlfriend—is it a trap or the green light he’s been waiting for?
