On Thursday's show, Anderson meet Jaiya Ma, who is in a polyamorous relationship with her two lovers, Ian and Jon. Polyamory is defined as "the state or practice of having more than one open romantic relationship at a time."
Jaiya has been in a relationship with Jon for about ten years. While dating Jon, approximately four and a half years ago, she met Ian, and they had a son together.
Today, Jaiya lives with Ian and Jon, and they all raise a son together. Anderson asks Jon, "Was it strange to suddenly have Ian show up?" Take a look at his answer...

Kudos to them for being brave enough to appear on the show!
I am polyamorous, and in two committed, loving relationships. Not everyone who is poly, or in poly relationships (it's not always an identity), can afford to come out of the closet. It makes it that much more important for those who can to do so. Biases and assumptions don't go away on their own.
Polyamory doesn't threaten monogamy. It's about respecting the right to choose. Validating other options only makes individual choices stronger, not weaker. No one's interested in converting you/your partner!
If you have chosen monogamy, then I wish you well in life & love!
Not all polyamorous relationships are open. Some are closed among those involved.
If you google this woman she is a sexology expert. She does not deserve the title "Ma" which should be reserved for a few who are celebate and spiritually enlightened. You can't be a sex addict and be enlightened. If she thinks she is, she is really missing out on the true intimate beauty of God and the universe.
Wow, does she sleep with both of them every night, shoot she must be worn out by now. Or do they take turns one week Ian and the other Jon.. Lots of funny business going on at that address.
