Summary: In a conversation with LEVEL Man, actor and model Kofi Siriboe shared that he practices Ethical Non-Monogamy. He said monogamy can sometimes feel like "role playing" and spoke about how fame and past relationships shifted his perspective. Watching couples around him, especially his parents, helped him see both the beauty and the "blind spots" in monogamy. What matters most, he said, is finding what works for you and choosing it fully.

Why This Matters: What makes Siriboe’s honesty stand out is that he is not dismissing monogamy. He is just telling the truth about his experience. For anyone exploring ENM, his words offer quiet permission to ask questions we are often taught not to ask. There is no reward for staying in a relationship shape that does not fit. There is only the calm that comes from choosing what does..

When someone in the public eye speaks with this kind of clarity, it helps people understand that non-monogamy is not about breaking rules. It is about living in alignment with who you really are.

"I’ve just had different shifts and different seasons where it feels like, sometimes, monogamy feels like role-playing. And it sometimes feels restrictive. So there’s an element of it that feels performative, and I understand the tradition of it. … But then there’s a part of me that just had questions.” - Kofi Siriboe
