7:00 Interview: Avoiding meetup drama with Allena Gabosch
A PW Playmate (woo hoo!) writes in to ask:
I’ve been pretty involved in my local poly community for a couple of years. It’s about doubled in size since we started doing more outreach, and with that has come much more drama and conflict within the community. We’re not quite sure how to handle it without alienating people.
Allena Gabosch, Director of the Center for Sex Positive Culture, gives advice:
- Be open to everyone
- Leaders, remember to come from service and put your ego aside
- Give naysayers responsibilities for improving the group
- Acknowledge and address naysayer issues publicly
If you’re in or near Seattle, come to SEAF, June 16-24, 2012!

It is always my divine pleasure to present on just about any topic at MomentumCon, one of my favorite sex-positive events. It’s always chock-full of luminaries and sexy thought leaders with forward-looking ideas and insights. Great stuff!
My talk this year was a little more down and dirty. Based on the research you guys helped me conduct, I created a deck of guidelines based on the biggest complaints users made regarding sex-positive community sites such as FetLife. Without further ado, here it is: How Not to Be a Douche on FetLife.

Anne brings up and defines the “Joey Potter effect.” The Joey Potter = a person trying to live monogamously while romantically attracted to more than one person. The JPE involves frequent breakups with one love interest to date another, relationship sabotage and overanalysis of one’s own motivations.
