Facing Judgment, Choosing Freedom: Why We Don’t Hide Our Lifestyle Anymore

Facing Judgment, Choosing Freedom: Why We Don’t Hide Our Lifestyle Anymore
Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris
Swingers Podcast | Ethical Non-Monogamy | Sex-Positive Relationships

We didn’t plan on talking about this. Honestly, we had another topic lined up for this episode of our swingers podcast. But when a single vomiting emoji showed up on a celebratory post about our new website launch, we knew it was time to address something deeper: the judgment faced by people in the lifestyle.

In this episode of Beyond Monogamy, we talk openly about what it means to be part of the swinging lifestyle, the stigma that still follows consensual non-monogamous couples, and why we’ve chosen to stop hiding who we are. If you're navigating open relationships, feeling torn between living freely or staying discreet, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear.

Key Points We Cover in This Episode:

• Our personal experience with online judgment after announcing our swinger lifestyle podcast website

• Why so many ethical non-monogamous couples stay closeted

• The effect of religion and societal norms on our relationships

• How swinging helped strengthen our emotional intimacy and communication

• The internal and external judgment bisexual men and women face—even within the lifestyle

• Why we advocate for sex-positive, shame-free, open-minded relationships

• The beauty, confidence, and connection we’ve gained from living authentically

We also discuss how social media and swinger TikTok trends have helped younger generations embrace non-traditional relationship models like swinging, polyamory, and ethical non-monogamy.

Why We’re Loud About the Lifestyle

For us, the non-monogamous lifestyle isn’t about shock value or rebellion. It’s about love, trust, growth, and the freedom to define our relationships on our own terms. We believe in being upfront and honest—not because we want attention, but because we’re building a community where people feel less alone and more empowered to be themselves.

We’ve found strength in the swinger community. We’ve met others who share our values of consent, communication, and connection. And we want to help others feel that same freedom.

If You’re Curious or Struggling…

Whether you’re just starting to explore the lifestyle, navigating cuckold or hotwife dynamics, or wondering how to talk to your partner about swinging, we’ve been there. And we’ve created this sex-positive podcast as a safe, candid space for those conversations.

And here's the kicker: just because you listen doesn’t mean you're a swinger. This podcast is for anyone who’s curious about ethical non-monogamy, wants to improve their communication, or simply loves hearing honest discussions about love, sex, and relationships.
