Hacking Love: Deepening Commitment Through Open Relationships

Ep 33: The "No Rules" Illusion — When Freedom Feels Safer Than Control


Listen Later

🎙️ Hey guys! In episode 33, we continue to peel back the layers of the onion as we revisit our feelings around separate play—especially rules vs. no rules. Our conversation dives into how our understanding of ethical non-monogamy keeps evolving—not just as a lifestyle, but as a powerful relationship lab where radical honesty deepens intimacy.

We ask: Is wanting to witness each other’s separate play 👀about being aroused? Or does it just feel more safe? 🛟 Does giving someone total freedom make the giver feel more loved—or more replaceable? From the hotwife dynamic to jealousy-as-turn-on, to the tough questionWhat if my partner starts wanting more from a play partner?” 😳

As a bonus, Anna shares her revealing post-processing thoughts in an addendum at the end of the episode.

We also, talk about what different types of orgasms can mean with full-time partners vs. play partners 😳, and explore whether “no rules” is a radical form of love? Or just clever emotional armor?

In this episode we also share a preview of our Nicaragua retreat for ENM newbies! See the FB group for deatails.

If you’re in the swirl of learning what's next, this one’s for you. 💥
