Understanding the difference between relationship rules and personal boundaries is essential for anyone navigating ethical non-monogamy. While rules attempt to control a partner's external behavior, boundaries define what an individual is willing to…
Consensual non-monogamy legal protection is a vital frontier for the ethical non-monogamy community. While groundbreaking city ordinances protect polyamorous individuals from discrimination, ambiguity remains for swingers and other non-traditional r…
Welcome back to the blog extension of the Beyond Monogamy podcast! If you are part of the lifestyle, ethical non-monogamy, or swinging community, you already know the intoxicating thrill of a weekend takeover at a resort, a private club, or a house …
Okay, real talk: sometimes the best episodes don't need a guest. They just need an inbox full of chaos and two hosts willing to dig through it live. That's this week's ENM mailbag — one voicemail, one message, zero names, and honestly? Two of the re…
The Great Bush Debate: Bald, Bushy, or Somewhere In Between? Welcome back to another Beyond Monogamy Wednesday quickie, where Adam and Pris somehow turn "do you shave down there?" into a full-blown TED Talk about body image, insecurity, and self-lo…
Guys. GUYS. We need to talk about Kink Night. If you've been listening to Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris for a while, you know we talk about Club Eden in San Antonio approximately every four minutes. It's our home club, our happy place, the venue…
Every once in a while, Adam and Pris meet a couple of guests who make them feel like amateurs in their own lifestyle. This week, that couple happened to be brothers — and no, that headline isn't a typo. Meet Gryff and Jason, the real-life siblings …
Fifteen years in the swinger lifestyle. Hundreds of meets, greets, parties, and playdates. Surely by now the butterflies are gone, right? RIGHT? Well. About that. In this quickie episode of Beyond Monogamy, Adam & Pris tackle a question they get a…
Ever wonder what happens when a swinger couple gets bored on a Saturday, grabs a smartphone full of half-typed questions, and hits record with absolutely no plan? Congratulations, you’ve found this week’s episode of Beyond Monogamy, the ethical non-…
Every once in a while, Adam opens an episode with a question so profound, so philosophical, so deeply rooted in the human condition that Socrates himself would put down his toga and lean in. This week's question: "Why are people so shitty?" Pris di…
So there's a "woman." She's gorgeous. Black-and-white photo, artfully sprawled across a big bed, model-esque, perfect cleavage, the works. She's mid-20s, she's charming, and she's been chatting with a very lucky 17-year-old Adam in an Arizona AOL ch…
Somebody said it again this week. Somebody always says it. Adam went to give the disclaimer — the one where he explains that he and Pris are not, in fact, licensed relationship professionals — and what came out of his mouth was “we are not licensed …
Every couple in the swinger lifestyle has an origin story. Some are sexy. Some are sweet. Ours involves a Halloween party, way too much alcohol, a bedroom door closing in Adam's face, and a full year of "wait, are we actually doing this?" conversati…
There are birthdays, and then there are swinger lifestyle birthdays. One involves a grocery-store sheet cake and a card signed by coworkers you barely know. The other involves free sopapillas, THC lemonade, a friend with a literal bag of toys, and a…
The Barber Who Accidentally Booked This Episode Every great episode starts somewhere. This one started in a barber's chair. Adam went in for a cleanup, and mid-fade his barber — a loyal listener, bless his heart — confessed he had absolutely no ide…
Every swinger has a home club the way every churchgoer has a home parish — except ours has a St. Andrew's cross, a porn room, and significantly better fries. On this week's Wednesday QUICKIE, we're finally doing the episode people keep asking for: a…
Before we get into it: yes, Adam's arms are that white on camera. Translucent, really. He described the two of us as "Michael Jackson before and after," which is exactly the kind of loving spousal support this podcast is built on. Also, for the reco…
There are words you weren't allowed to say at the dinner table. Adam learned that at age five, when — armed with nothing but HBO and total confusion — he called his oldest sister a "barnyard slut" over dinner because he thought it had something to d…
Kink 101: Fetish vs. Kink, Power Exchange & Hot Wifing (feat. The Kink Consultant) Let's just get this out of the way first: Adam almost called our guest a "sex couch" instead of a "sex coach." We didn't edit it out because honestly, at this point,…
The Great Hand-Squeeze Heist: Surviving In-the-Moment Jealousy Without Losing Your Cool (Or Your Cocktail) Picture it: you're at a meet-and-greet, drink in hand, having a genuinely great time. Your partner is out there being their fabulous, flirty,…
The Orgasm Gap in the Lifestyle: Why She Comes at Home But Not at the Club Let's set the scene. You and your husband have been in the lifestyle for a year. You've been with over a dozen people — men, women, all of the above. You are, by every measu…
Broke, Stressed & Still Swinging: The Episode We Didn't Plan to Make Let's be honest. Nobody starts a sex-positive podcast thinking, "You know what would make GREAT content? Being completely broke." And yet, here we are. Welcome to the most relatab…
