A while ago, we worked with Analisa Murphy who did a scientific study to better understand the effects of non-monogamy (or any kind of open relationship) on relationships and sexual satisfaction. This is now completed, so it was time for an interview to chat about the learnings.

She also explains her personal journey into swinging, from getting married at an early age to leaving the Mormon religion and the impact this has on her life, her kids and her sexuality.

We talk about:

* The danger of "no sex before marriage" and the damage it can do before discovering polyamory. * There are tricks mormons use to go swinger parties without anybody noticing.* Being gay in the Mormon church, getting kicked out for getting AIDS.
