Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris

Ever catch your swinger brain flirting at the grocery store? Adam and Pris dig into "lifestyle brain" — what happens when your ethical non-monogamy instincts sneak into regular vanilla life, and why it's so easy to misread the signals.

This episode covers:

• "Code switching" between swinger mode and vanilla mode
• Why Adam freezes up flirting with vanilla women but not lifestyle women
• How to flirt without being creepy (and the compliments that actually land)
• The hot wife dynamic: fantasy vs. being a real partner
• Is masturbating to someone else cheating? Adam & Pris do NOT agree
• Reading the room when a vanilla person gets curious about ENM

Adam finally gets put in the hot seat. On this quickie episode of Beyond Monogamy, Pris flips the script and grills Adam with rapid-fire, no-dodging questions about dating app reviews, his least sexy skill, jealousy, insecurity, and what really happened when they tried polyamory. It's raw, funny, and surprisingly honest ENM talk.

What's in this episode:

• Adam's brutally honest "dating app review" of himself
• His most useful (and least sexy) skill as a lifestyle husband
• The insecurities every guy feels early in the swinger lifestyle
• Why they tried poly, what they learned, and why they stopped
• How running The Bald Truth content keeps Adam "on the straight and narrow"
• Boundaries, jealousy, and how they navigate different connections in an open relationship

Swinger lifestyle, ethical non-monogamy, and open relationship talk — this is Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris.

Ever feel like the swinger lifestyle has its own high school cafeteria? Adam & Pris are diving into the pecking order nobody likes to admit exists in the ethical non-monogamy community — and who keeps getting left off the invite list.

The lifestyle sells itself as open, sex-positive, and welcoming to everyone. But walk into any swinger club or house party on a Saturday night and there's a hierarchy in plain sight. Adam and Pris get real about the groups that get gate-kept, ostracized, or quietly ignored — and what you can actually do about it.

In this episode:

• The "unattainable couple" myth and why hot doesn't mean happy
• Why single men are the most gate-kept group in non-monogamy
• Ageism in the lifestyle — and why "old" is just a state of mind
• Body image, bigger bodies, and the pressure of "getting work done"
• Race, segregated parties, and building a truly mixed community
• How self-confidence (or the lack of it) creates your own exclusion

Adam and Pris swap seats — and swap personalities. On this quickie episode of Beyond Monogamy, our favorite swinger lifestyle podcast hosts answer your ethical non-monogamy (ENM) questions as each other — same voice, same attitude, same opinions (or their best impression of them). No coaching, no interrupting, and absolutely no getting mad at the impression.

It's a fast, funny, surprisingly honest look at how two people fifteen years into an open marriage actually think — filtered through a hilarious role-reversal game.

What we cover:

• What first-timers need to know before their first lifestyle party
• Is jealousy something to avoid in non-monogamy, or something to work through?
• The biggest misconceptions about swinging and polyamory
• How to bring up a kink with your partner for the first time
• Rules vs. boundaries — and which one actually matters more
• Best advice for a married couple thinking about opening up
• Handling rejection at a party without making it weird
• Check-ins, aftercare, and the lifestyle myth we want retired forever

Plus: what Adam and Pris genuinely admire about how the other navigates the swinger lifestyle.

Ethical non-monogamy, swinger lifestyle, open relationships — this is your weekly dose of real talk, straight from a couple actually living it.

Seattle just made history — and Adam & Pris are unpacking it. This past week, the Seattle City Council voted unanimously to extend anti-discrimination protections to people in polyamorous relationships, adding polyamory, pansexuality, and asexuality to the city's legal definition of sexual orientation. So on this episode of Beyond Monogamy, Adam and Pris dig into what this means for the whole ethical non-monogamy (ENM) umbrella — polyamory, swinging, kink, and everything in between.

In this episode:

• The Seattle City Council's new law protecting polyamorous people from discrimination
• Is swinging covered under "consensual non-monogamy" too? Adam and Pris debate it
• Orientation vs. choice: are you born non-monogamous, or is it a decision?
• Real data — a 2025 survey found 61% of non-monogamous people report facing prejudice or discrimination
• Why so many in the swinger lifestyle and polyamorous communities stay closeted at work
• A candid, no-filter conversation between Adam and Pris about their own relationship dynamic

Whether you're poly, swinging, or somewhere in the beautiful gray area of ethical non-monogamy, this one's for you.

Ever had to "behave" in a room full of vanilla people? In this QUICKIE episode of Beyond Monogamy, Adam & Pris get real about the very specific chaos of being deep in the swinger lifestyle and ethical non-monogamy... and then suddenly finding yourselves surrounded by vanilla friends who have no idea what you get up to.

They break down the wandering-hand incidents, the flirting instincts they had to swallow, the "swingers in the wild" story that started a real friendship, and why judgment from vanilla folks is usually a mirror, not a mic drop. Plus: objectification in the ENM community, who's really "calling the shots" in a swinger relationship, and why porn's objectification argument doesn't hold up the way people think.

• Behaving (or not) in vanilla settings as an experienced swinger couple
• The wandering-hand story that got Adam benched to "hands in lap"
• Spotting real-life swingers in a vanilla bar
• Objectification of women in the non-monogamy community — and the 50/50 problem
• Who calls the shots more: men or women in open relationships?

It's a mailbag episode! Adam & Pris skip the guest and dig straight into the inbox for two listener questions that could not be more different — one heavy, one fun, and both real talk about ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and the swinger lifestyle.

• A 20+ year married couple, 3-5 years into the lifestyle, hits a wall: he's thriving in non-monogamy, she's over it. Adam & Pris break down jealousy, trust, communication, and how to figure out what's actually fair for both partners.
• A newbie couple at their third lifestyle pool party watches his wife get swarmed while he freezes up. The question: what are the signals men miss, and how should a guy actually approach a woman (or couple) at a swinger party without being "that guy"?
• Real talk on setting boundaries, reading the room, non-monogamy jealousy, and open relationship communication tools you can use tonight.

Do you like it bald, or with a little fuzz? On this Wednesday quickie, Adam and Pris dive into one of the most-avoided topics in the swinger lifestyle and ethical non-monogamy world: pubic hair. From sugar waxing versus hard waxing, to Adam's confession about an old insecurity sparked by a "hairy or bare" poll in a lifestyle group, this episode is a funny, honest look at grooming, body image, and self-acceptance in ENM.

• Sugar wax vs. hard wax, and why Pris is ready to quit cold turkey
• The trimmer that's actually worth the Amazon order
• Adam's "hairy or bare" story and why body-hair shaming needs to grow up
• Manscaping for hairy guys: the "penis-shaped underwear" problem
• FUPA talk: body insecurities, self-love, and loving your partner's curves

This one's a feel-good pubic ode of love: preferences are fine, but body-shaming isn't. Love your body, love yourself, and be comfortable with who you are.

Kink Night at Club Eden just broke our brains — in the best way. On this Wednesday quickie, Adam & Pris recap their first-ever Kink Night at their home swinger club, where a dominatrix friend and her sub gave them a front-row education in flogging, electric wands, sounding rods, and the real meaning of consent and power exchange in the BDSM world.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about where kink and the ethical non-monogamy / swinger lifestyle overlap — and where they don't.

In this episode:

• Why Kink Night at Club Eden in San Antonio is nothing like the Saturday swinger crowd
• Meeting "Mistress Vampirella" and her sub, dressed head-to-toe in gear Adam & Pris had never seen up close
• Adam's Indiana-Jones-style flogging lesson (and why he couldn't bring himself to do it)
• The electric wand, nipple clamps, cock cages, and an intro to sounding rods (yes, really)
• Why humiliation play is about consent and power exchange, not cruelty
• Headspace, aftercare, and the biggest myths about the kink community
• Adam considering a future as a dom (maybe even a "dom porn star")
• A shout-out to their upcoming Shibari adventure: ShibART-i in Houston on November 14th

Ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, and kink all live in the same neighborhood of judgment-free exploration — this episode is proof.

Two brothers. Two very different kinks. One podcast that almost didn't happen. This week Adam & Pris sit down with Gryff and Jason, the real-life siblings behind the Kinky Bros Podcast — one gay, one straight, both deep in the kink world for years without ever telling each other, until a shared Netflix binge of "How to Build a Sex Room" blew the whole thing open.

In this episode, we get into:

• How two brothers accidentally discovered they were both kinky — and how it changed their relationship
• Rubber and latex fetish life: stealth wear, breathability (or lack of it), and Texas summers
• Jason's jockstrap-and-thong origin story (thanks to a mystery pack he almost didn't order)
• Raising sex-positive kids in a non-monogamous, blended household
• Houston's surprisingly thriving queer kink community, vac cubes, and CBT 101
• Compersion, jealousy, and hot wife dynamics — and why swingers aren't always as open-minded as they think
• Pegging, prostate pleasure, and why the swinging world still side-eyes it

This is a raw, funny, genuinely educational conversation about ethical non-monogamy, kink, and the family bonds that can come from finally being honest about what turns you on.
