The April Issue Has Arrived. Taboo? Absolutely. Necessary? Even more.

Published 20 days ago • 1 min read

The APRIL 2026 issue of Psyche, Sex, & Society has officially arrived, and this one goes straight for the places culture tells us to avoid.

We are pulling apart the relationship scripts so many of us inherited without ever consenting to them. We are asking the questions that cut to the bone of relational agency. We are naming the truths that get flattened into caricature. This issue is inviting you back to the center of your own desire, your own authorship, your own relational design.

Inside this issue, you will find:

• Did You Choose Monogamy or Was It Chosen for You?

• Relationship Design as Sovereignty

• Is Being Poly About Sex?

• A Guided Exploration for Anyone Considering “Opening Up”

If you have ever felt the tension between what you were taught to want and what your lived truth is calling for, this issue is your invitation to stop performing and start choosing with awareness, with integrity, and with your whole self.

Let it challenge you. Let it expand you. Let it meet you exactly where you are.

👉 Visit our website and dive in today.
