Our Story
Why ENMP Exists
ENMP started with a simple question:
What do people practicing ethical non-monogamy actually need?
There is no shortage of advice, opinions, books, podcasts, and online conversations about ethical non-monogamy. But we wanted to understand what people are actually experiencing. What is working? What isn't? Where are people struggling? And what do they wish they had known earlier?
Rather than starting with answers, ENMP started by listening.
Research Before Recommendations
Every interview adds another perspective and helps us identify recurring experiences, challenges, successes, and unmet needs across the ENM community.
We don't begin with a product, program, or predetermined solution. We begin with questions, look for patterns in what people tell us, and let the research guide what comes next.
Research comes before recommendations.
Brad Warm
Founder, Ethical Non-Monogamy Project
I founded ENMP because I was curious about the gap between the growing conversation around ethical non-monogamy and how little we really understand about people's day-to-day experiences.
My background isn't in academia or relationship counseling. It's in marketing, strategy, and research. I've spent much of my career asking questions, looking for patterns, challenging assumptions, and using what I learn to make better decisions.
ENMP applies that same mindset to ethical non-monogamy. I don't believe I already have the answers. That's the point of the research.
My goal is to build something independent, transparent, and useful, grounded in the experiences of the people actually living it.
