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 relatable episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris we've ever recorded — and probably the one we needed to make more than any other.

The Naughty N'awlins Cancellation Heard 'Round the Lifestyle

If you've been following the show for more than five minutes, you know we have been HYPING Naughty N'awlins like it was our second honeymoon, our Super Bowl, and our spiritual awakening all rolled into one clothing-optional festival. And then... we didn't go. Because adulting is a cruel and merciless sport.

The event people were gracious. The math was not. When you add up driving costs, meals, lodging, and the fact that Adam is currently between jobs (the polite way of saying the severance ran out and the couch has started forming a permanent Adam-shaped indent), the numbers simply did not math. So we made the adult responsible decision. We stayed home. We paid bills. We cried into our respective snack foods.

We also didn't make it to the Port Aransas beach takeover. Or the Fourth of July plans. Basically, summer 2026 for Adam and Pris looked like a lot of couch, some trash TV, and a deeply personal relationship with the air conditioner.

OnlyFans: A Love Story (That Never Quite Got Off the Runway)

Here's something content creators don't talk about enough: having an OnlyFans while also having a full-time job, a podcast, a family, a cat, and a single functioning vehicle is... a lot. Pris has an OnlyFans. It makes money. It is not, however, making the kind of money that replaces a salary, because — and this is the kicker — that requires treating it like a full-time job. Which she already has. Two of them, actually.

There's also the small issue that Pris, a strong and gloriously unbothered Latina woman, is not particularly interested in performing the kind of eager-to-please energy that the platform tends to reward. Men slide into her DMs expecting a bubbly "Oh hi, I missed you sooo much!" and instead get... Pris. Who cannot fake it, will not fake it, and frankly shouldn't have to.

She did try. When the job situation got dire, she attempted the flirty hustle — the "wanna subscribe?" soft sell, the digital coquette. She describes this period as, and we quote directly: "It sucked. It sucked. It sucked." So that chapter closed.

They did collaborate with someone (shoutout to Ray and a very memorable threesome that is still selling, thank you very much), and THAT is the model that works for them — actual swinger fun that happens to also be filmed. Not performance. Real life. Which, honestly, is the most on-brand thing they've ever said.

Financial Stress & the Libido: A Tragedy in Several Acts

Here's a fun fact about Adam, a man who has built an entire personal brand on his reportedly heroic frequency of self-pleasure: stress made him stop. Days passed. No sex. No solo activities. Nothing. For context, this is the equivalent of a fish forgetting how to swim. It does not happen. And yet.

Financial anxiety is genuinely one of the most effective libido killers known to humankind, and Adam and Pris got real about that in a way that most lifestyle podcasts never do. They talked about going to the club and sitting in the parking lot wondering if it was even worth the gas. They talked about feeling unsexy while being surrounded by sexy people. They talked about gaining some weight, not hitting the gym, eating their feelings, and still somehow managing to show up for each other.

Pris, operating on a hormone patch and running on spite and Buddy THC seltzers, remained arguably more interested than Adam during this stretch. "Fucking put your dick in me," she allegedly said, at some point, to a man whose stress-brain was simply not cooperating. They got through it. They usually do.

The Buddies Drinks Interlude (Unsponsored, Just Sincere)

Speaking of Buddies THC seltzers — Pris found her people. Ten milligrams of THC in a flavored seltzer, available at Specs in Texas, and apparently the key to unlocking Pris's fully relaxed, fully present, fully enthusiastic club night self. She drank four of them. She described the experience as "ooh." She plans to drink six next time. Adam, who has never had one, cannot personally vouch, but he witnessed the results and is apparently a believer.

They are not sponsored by Buddies. They just wanted you to know.

Pris Has a Plan (Three of Them, Actually)

In the middle of all this financial chaos, Pris quietly dropped the fact that she is building an entire empire. She's pursuing her Series 65 to become a financial advisor — specifically because Latinos are historically underserved when it comes to financial literacy, and she is personally offended by this and intends to fix it. She's also planning something for women in the lifestyle that she's not ready to announce yet (which means the comment section will now be exclusively people asking what it is). AND she wants to get into lifestyle event planning — sourcing vendors, coordinating hotel takeovers, finding those "yoga beds" (the chaise lounges — you know the ones) and St. Andrew's crosses for parties.

While on the subject of St. Andrew's crosses: did you know St. Andrew was an apostle who requested to be crucified on an X-shaped cross instead of the traditional T, because he didn't feel worthy of the same method as Jesus? You do now. Adam knows things. This is the podcast where you learn about BDSM furniture and biblical history in the same breath.

The Bottom Line

This episode isn't sexy in the conventional sense. Nobody got naked. Nobody went to a party. But it IS real, and real is exactly why people keep coming back to this show. Adam and Pris aren't selling a fantasy. They're showing you what it actually looks like to be a lifestyle couple who also has bills, kids, stress, body image days, and the occasional hormone patch-fueled 11pm negotiation.

Things are looking up. Jobs are in play. The show keeps growing. And next year? Naughty N'awlins better watch out.
