Whether you’re new to non-monogamy, taking your first steps, or already navigating your own polyamorous constellation, the journey can feel overwhelming. In The Non-Monogamy Playbook, Ruby Rare blends practical how-tos, personal experiences, and wider social and political context to help reframe relationships and build confidence in exploring new ways of connecting.

Ruby takes a deep and nuanced approach to non-monogamy, moving beyond superficial advice to address key questions, including:

• Why is non-monogamy on the rise now?
• What does it mean to decentre monogamy and ‘the couple’ in your life?
• Why do we prioritise romantic connections over platonic ones?
• How do capitalism and other social structures shape our romantic and sexual lives?
• What do non-monogamous breakups look like?
• How can we navigate jealousy and communicate more honestly?
• How can we centre joy and pleasure in non-monogamous relationships?

This talk offers insights and practical guidance for anyone curious about or practicing non-monogamy, encouraging deeper understanding and more fulfilling connections.
