Swinger Education Matters: Inside Forbidden Fruit’s Workshops
Swinging Isn’t Just About Sex — It’s About Learning
There’s a lie a lot of people believe when they first step into the lifestyle.
“We’ll figure it out as we go.”
Sounds harmless. Sounds adventurous. Sounds sexy.
It’s also why so many couples end up awkward, overwhelmed, or quietly wondering why everyone else seems so confident.
In this episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we recorded live at Forbidden Fruit and sat down with Jonny — the guy who’s been teaching adults how to communicate, connect, and actually enjoy themselves for over a decade.
“Confidence doesn’t come from pretending you know what you’re doing. It comes from learning.”
Why Education Changes Everything
Jonny runs workshops that cover everything from oral skills to BDSM basics — but what surprised us most wasn’t the subject matter.
It was how many people walk in nervous… and walk out relaxed, laughing, and more confident than when they arrived.
Workshops aren’t about judgment. They’re about removing guesswork.
Instead of hoping you’re “doing it right,” you get clarity. You get communication. You get permission to ask questions you didn’t even know how to phrase.
The Stuff Nobody Warns You About
One of the most eye-opening parts of our conversation was hearing about the things people don’t expect:
- How much safety and consent matter legally
- Why certain activities carry real-world consequences
- Why education actually protects you and your partner
These aren’t scare tactics — they’re reality checks. And honestly? We wish someone had told us this stuff earlier.
“People don’t leave workshops because it’s awkward. They leave because they realize they weren’t ready to learn.”
Our Swingers 101 Workshop
We’re incredibly excited to be hosting our own Swingers 101 Workshop at Forbidden Fruit.
This is for:
- Curious couples
- Newer swingers
- People tired of vague advice and Reddit horror stories
We’ll be covering expectations, boundaries, communication, and what nobody puts in their profile bio.

Co-host
Adam is the bald, bearded, caffeine-fueled voice behind Beyond Monogamy — a guy who never expected to become a spokesperson for ethical non-monogamy… but here we are. After more than a decade navigating the lifestyle with his wife and co-host Pris, he’s learned a ton about communication, boundaries, jealousy (yep, he has it too), and what it really takes to build a relationship that feels like home and adventure at the same time.
Whether he’s diving into deep relationship conversations, calling out the myths the lifestyle loves to cling to, or just hyping up couples to choose their joy unapologetically, Adam brings honesty, humor, and tattoo-level commitment to every episode. If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just us?”, he’s the guy handing you a coffee and saying, “Nah — welcome to the club.”
Beyond Monogamy is his way of making sure nobody has to explore this world alone. Because love gets bigger when community gets louder.
