In this fun, fast-paced, and informative episode, John and Jackie from Openlove101 dive into the ever-evolving language of the swinger and consensually non-monogamous lifestyle. Prompted by questions from Courtney, the conversation turns into an entertaining glossary of terms — from beginner basics like swinger and soft swap to more nuanced or kinky concepts such as cuckold, bull, and double penetration.
With their signature humor and openness, John and Jackie demystify this often-confusing vocabulary while sharing personal insights and real-world context. Along the way, they explain how language in the lifestyle isn't rigid — it evolves as people, relationships, and communities grow. This episode is equal parts education and laughter, making it a perfect starting point for curious newcomers and a refresher for seasoned explorers.
Whether you've heard whispers about upside-down pineapples, wondered what "play" actually means, or just want to understand the shorthand used in clubs and online profiles, this episode offers clarity without judgment — and plenty of laughs along the way.
