Online Video Resource: silvurhuntress on YouTube.com

[caption id="attachment_273" align="alignright" width="250" caption="silvurhuntress/Geeky Valkyrie on YouTube"]silvurhuntress/Geeky Valkyrie on YouTube[/caption] A couple of years ago, a YouTube video was posted on the polyamory community on livejournal. The poster showed off their work and sought feedback.  I found it fascinating and awesome that someone was using online video as a means of spreading information about polyamory, and bookmarked the link. Recently, I went back to check out the video, and found that there were several others, with promises of additional videos to come. I enjoyed what I viewed, and wanted to share this resource with you.  
  • Video 1: Polyamory - This is an awesome video that outlines one example on how to form polyamorous relationships. It includes tips on communication, trust, and managing headspace (internal thoughts/feelings).  
  • Video 2: Polyamory and Jealousy - silvurhuntress examines different types of jealousy and how she and her husband address the issue.  She also provides some good advice on how to communicate your feelings without having it sound accusing or being /drama fuel.  The second half of the video consists of an update on her life, plus her studies into ways to increase a woman's sex drive. (Yes, even with multiple partners, us poly women sometimes have libido issues)  
  • Video 3: Polyamory (update) - This was her 2007 year-end update.  
  • Video 4: Polyamory: Your Questions Answered - I <3 the lip piercing, by the way ;)  This video is in response to a viewer's questions on if it's harder for men to find women that are open to polyamory versus the other way around.  
  • Video 5: I'll be sick for ren fair! Rar! & Poly Questions Answered - After the initial gushing over the Texas Renaissance Festival, silvurhuntress answers a viewer's question on whether her husband and boyfriend are romantically involved.  She clarifies the difference between a triad and the letter-shaped romantic configurations (yes, she attempts to diagram these using her fingers)
I enjoy silvurhuntress's videos for a couple of reasons. First, she is very candid and informal in addressing her audience, which gives her work a more approachable feel.  The videos are edited to include the bloopers (and add funny captions around them).  Second, she repeatedly states that her advice is one method of living poly (rather than the 'one true way'), and she also indicates that polyamory is not for everyone. :)

Sharing is sexy!
