Episode Summary – QUICKIE: Having The Talk
Starting the journey into ethical non-monogamy isn’t about parties or dating apps—it begins with a single conversation: how do you even bring this up with your partner? In this Lifestyle 101 Wednesday QUICKIE, Adam & Pris get raw, funny, and brutally honest about what that first talk looked like for them (spoiler: it wasn’t perfect) and what they’ve learned along the way.
They share:
•
Timing matters – don’t drop the “lifestyle bomb” in the middle of a fight or after a few too many drinks.
•
The preamble is everything – set the stage gently, ask if your partner is in a good headspace, and be ready for big feelings.
•
Insecurities are normal – both men and women may wonder, “Am I not enough?” and that’s okay.
•
Reassurance isn’t optional – words of affirmation, consistent support, and clear communication keep your foundation solid.
•
Rules and boundaries – from safe words to texting check-ins, clear agreements protect both your relationship and your fun.
•
Consent is sexy – not just with play partners, but between you and your spouse, every step of the way.
Adam & Pris keep it 100% real about jealousy, insecurities, ultimatums, and the mistakes they made as newbies—and they drop practical advice for how couples can avoid the crash-and-burn moments while setting themselves up for success.
At the end of the day, “having the talk” isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a conversation that will keep evolving with your relationship, and the key is staying honest, open, and connected.
