Dawn Porter
Dawn enjoys a hot tub with a man

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 free love school to open people up to the idea of polyamory. 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 1960s 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.
