I’m proud to have produced the first instructional DVD on polyamory, with relationship rockstar, Reid Mihalko. You may be wondering why on the cover photo, we decided to hop in bed with Ninjas and use the title “Earning your BLACK BELT in relationships.” Here’s the true story of why we refer to ourselves as ethical ninjas as well as some fun details.
Dressed from head to toe in solid black, with only a slit for their eyes, Ninjas move purposefully but silently through the night. They are mostly hidden, but are known to come out on Haloween, at comic book conventions, in video arcades and in certain James Bond movies. As such, there are gross misunderstandings and stereotypes about Ninjas.
In Japanese history, Ninjas were devoted warriors highly trained in the unorthodox arts of self defense, illusion, espianage and of course assassination. So, what do Ninjas have to do with Polyamory?
Lets see, we’re often feared and misunderstood. Some of us are secretive and go undercover. We’re misrepresented by the media. Both Ninjas and non-monogamists need a lot of unorthodox training but beyond that…not much.
Come to think of it, the philosophy of Polyamory is the antithesis of ninjitzu. Love not war. Instead of the art of illusion and deception we practice openness and honesty. Instead of covering up from head to toe, we’re often busy trying to take it off. But we figured if Ann Rice got famous by drawing a paralell between Vampires and Homosexuals, we could come up with a cool mascott too.
Just for fun, here are some of our favorite ninja myths:
- Ninja can breathe underwater anytime they want.
- Ninja can crush billiard balls into dust with 2 fingers, any two fingers.
- Ninja can change complete wardrobes in less than 1 second.
- Ninja always land on their feet. If they don’t have feet they will land on their nubs.
- Ninja never wear headbands with the word “ninja” printed on them.
- Ninja always move to America when making a new start as a non-assassin.
- Ninja don’t sweat. Not even during ninja sex. Ever.
- Whenever a ninja masturbates people get hurt.
Reid and I had so much fun creating our ninja themed DVD, that we decided to make a joke reel as a bonus feature. Though this short clip is mostly silly, there is deep, rich and informative content on the rest of the video and it can be purchased online at: http://www.kamaladevi.com/products. Enjoy.
Ninja Jokes by Non-Monogamous Masters Kamala Devi and Reid Mihalko.

Above all, the most important thing that we share with Ninjas is that we are renegades…we’re not living our lives by mainstream rules. As such there may be a lot of unlearning to do. The intention of this handbook is an unorthodox indoctrination to a new world view on love, sex and freedom. We hope to empower you with all the skills, tools and resources you need to step into your full sexual expression.
Let us know what you think, and if you are too silent to leaving a comment, at least send us a picture of you dressed like a ninja.
