Ever wonder what swinging and open relationships looked like before “ethical non-monogamy” had a name?
In this episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we sit down with Sam L. Feldman, author of Hookups, Hiccups & Happenstances, to explore the wild, funny, and surprisingly relatable stories of love and liberation from the 1960s and ’70s.
Sam didn’t just write about the sexual revolution — he lived it. From neighborhood key clubs to the first waves of women’s sexual freedom, Sam shares how it all started, what lessons still apply today, and why freedom without communication is just chaos wearing a smile.
🔥 Topics include:
How “key clubs” became the original swinger scene
The impact of birth control, divorce laws, and female empowerment
What communication and consent looked like back then vs. now
Lessons couples today can learn from the first sexual revolution
How to keep your relationship passionate after 60+ years of marriage
