Welcome to episode 70 of the Sexology Podcast, today my guest is Robert Kandell who speaks to me about non-monogamous relationships, the pros and cons of being in a non-monogamous relationship and advice on how to approach this topic with others.
Robert Kandell has 18 years’ experience in helping men find themselves. Through the practice of absolute approval in his teaching, he sees those parts that are hidden in their shadows. These are the fetishes, hurts, or hidden desires. He draws them out with a firm but loving hand so what was once hidden can now become internal power.
An expert in interpersonal communication and relationship, he has helped thousands of students become happier, have better relationships, more sex, and a more balanced, energized life. Working with Robert is not for the faint of heart. He has been described as “part football coach, part loving dad and part slightly crazed drill sergeant.
In this episode, you will hear:
- How Robert became interested in this area
- The pros and cons of being in a non-monogamous relationship
- How most people are not actually monogamous
- Why non-monogamous relationships aren’t the solution for everyone
- The role that jealously plays in this issue
- Learning to have open and honest communication your partner about this
- The issue of fear of abandonment
- Advice on how to approach this topic with others

I really enjoyed the conversation with Robert Kandell! It was honest and refreshing. I loved hearing about his personal experiences and how they transformed his life over time. I feel like we are all learning and (hopefully) growing while engaged in some grand experiment called intimacy. Candid interviews like this one make our individual choices and inclinations feel normal.
I’d love to hear follow-up conversations with him in the future.
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback!
