Sex and Relationship Coaches Kamala Devi and Reid Mihalko teach powerful tools for polyamory in this Brand new instructional DVD.
Free Lover with Dawn Porter
In episode one, Dawn immerses herself in the world of polyamory – or free love. Not quite ready to settle down with one man, Dawn is curious to find out what it is like to live in a relationship but share partners freely. Her journey begins in San Diego, California where a husband and wife run a kind of free love school to open people up to the idea of polyamory.
"They're going to open me up and cleanse my chakras and introduce me to the idea of multiple lovers," explains Dawn. "I've got no idea what to expect but I think there's going to be quite a lot of groping".
Trying to discover if there's more to the free love world than just sex, Dawn experiments with role playing and physical group exercises, before finishing off with a frank, fact-finding session in the school hot tub Next it's off to Germany were Dawn visits Zegg, a 1960's style commune isolated in former East Germany, where members live a polyamorous, utopian lifestyle. Idyllic on the surface, Dawn digs deeper to discover the cost of free love – fear of abandonment, jealousy, competition – and meets some of its victims. And, before she leaves, Dawn has a chance to experience one of the most extreme and controversial practices of this unusual community.
"It's intoxicating to feel that the normal rules and limits of society don't apply to you," muses Dawn. "I can imagine a life where I didn't have to choose one man but I also witnessed the downside. I think free love sounds great on paper but the price is too high for me".
Kamala and Michael cuddle together like any other happily married couple.
The family is so comfortable that some of Kamala's lovers even baby-sit the couple's 15-month-old son.
They may look like any other married couple, but they are far from it! Kamala lets her husband Michael sleep with as many women as he likes.
"This is my man and I love him. I love him so much, I want to share him," she tells INSIDE EDITION.
In turn, Kamala sleeps with as many men as she wants to. She says, "Because I have multiple lovers, I have more love and energy to share with Michael."
Kamala openly has other men over to the couple's home in San Diego, California. During INSIDE EDITION's interview with the couple, Kamala even kisses her newest lover Steven, before snuggling up to her husband.
Kamala's husband is so comfortable with his wife's lovers, he even lets them baby-sit the couple's 15-month-old son.
"I think it's incredibly confusing for children to call random strangers, random sex partners, aunties and uncles," relationship expert Dr. Shannon Fox tells INSIDE EDITION. Dr. Fox says these marriages are bad for everyone involved. "I have never seen an open marriage work." Often times, she continued, the married couple separates to be with one of the partners they've been "open" with.
According to the happily married couple their six-year marriage is stronger than ever. The number of Americans in so-called "open" relationships is estimated to be small, approximately 4%.
Michael says, "Even if I have an attraction to another woman, be it at a party or on the street, I tell her."
"Men like variety," Kamala says.
With partners coming and going, many might wonder if jealousy ever rears its ugly head. Kamala says, "He loves me, you know, his love for another doesn't take away from his love for me."
Kamala Devi has also been featured on a number of independent Blogs, podcasts and webcast interviews. Click Here to listen to her recent interview about Sex magic on Prosperty Radio with Ryan Harris.

The Bisexual Forum of San Diego hosted a conference on sexuality May 27 centered around whether, as society has grown more accepting of alternative sexualities, young Queer people today are less obsessed with coming out and being "visible" as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender than their predecessors.
Devi spoke of her coming out— “I was with women exclusively for seven years” — but then she met and fell in love with a man “who was more ‘woman’ than anyone I’d ever met.” Once she got involved in this relationship, she explained, “I had to come out to the Lesbian community as Bisexual.” She said she works as a “relationship coach” and found that the more honest she is with herself, the better she’s able to work with clients who come to her for help with their relationship issues — and the more comfortable other people she meets socially are around her.
One of the dicier issues Devi raised from her own life is “polyamory” — a relationship with multiple partners simultaneously that flies in the face of the one-at-a-time social norm for heterosexuals — and increasingly, with marriage equality becoming the number one political issue of the Queer community, Gays and Lesbians as well. “I’ve got a lover who’s a woman inside a man, my husband has a girlfriend and we’re sharing a boyfriend,” Devi explained. “Polyamory Pride is a lot different because I’ve accepted myself and I don’t have that need to make it a big deal. I really think that the feelings people have about coming out are about their own personal acceptance, and the reactions they get are reflective of where they are.”
One audience member asked Devi what helped her make the transition towards accepting herself as a polyamorist. “It sounds like you’re doing this exploration and observing your own transformation,” she replied. “Everybody deals with this differently, and what’s going to make it easier is when you have a conversation. Maybe have a conversation about what it’s like to be fluid” — “fluid” being a favorite term among Bisexuals to describe an orientation that can encompass more than one gender or more than one person at a time.
