    If you've ever seen photos of adults-only lifestyle cruises or hotel takeovers and thought, "That looks incredible… but also a little intimidating," this episode is for you. Adam & Pris sit down with Claudia and Pepe Aguirre of LLV Club (Luxury Lifestyle Vacations) to pull back the curtain on what luxury lifestyle travel actually looks like — from cruises and hotel takeovers to immersive, adults-only experiences around the world.

    Swinger 101: Rules, Boundaries, Jealousy & How to Start Safely

    Welcome to Swinger 101 — the episode we wish every curious couple listened to before jumping into the lifestyle. In this Wednesday Quickie, Adam & Pris break down the real basics of swinging in a way only Beyond Monogamy can: honest, funny, raw, and actually helpful. If you're brand new, lifestyle-curious, or still Googling questions at 2am, this episode is for you. We cover what swinging really is (and what it absolutely is not), how it differs from open relationships and polyamory, and why swinging is primarily a sexually-focused branch of ethical non-monogamy. From there, we get into the stuff newbies are usually too scared to ask out loud: Do you have to be married to swing? Do swingers date or is it more casual? How do you even bring this up to your partner? What if one person wants it more than the other? What boundaries should you talk about first? Rules vs boundaries — what's the difference? How do you deal with jealousy when it shows up? Can you say no… even mid-experience? We also walk through what actually happens at swinger clubs (spoiler: it's not an Eyes Wide Shut orgy), how privacy is protected, what first nights usually look like, and why watching is always okay. Adam opens up about anxiety, nerves, and learning how to finally find his "no," while Pris talks honestly about jealousy, communication, and why being upfront saves everyone time and emotional energy. We also cover: Soft swap vs full swap Approaching other couples without being awkward Apps, websites, and finding community safely Verification, fake profiles, and red flags STI conversations, testing, and condom expectations Discretion, careers, family, and real-world consequences This episode is about doing the lifestyle intentionally, ethically, and without wrecking your relationship. If you're new — welcome. If you're seasoned — you might still learn something. And if you've been thinking about swinging but don't know where to start… this is it. Got questions?

    Non-Monogamy on Your Own Terms: Growth, Jealousy & Freedom with Evita "Lavitaloca" Sawyers

    What happens when non-monogamy stops being about labels and starts being about lived experience? In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we're joined by speaker, author, and relationship coach Evita "Lavitaloca" Sawyers for a conversation that goes far beyond surface-level polyamory talk. This episode is all about learning how to live non-monogamy on your own terms — not the internet's, not your partner's, and definitely not some outdated rulebook you never agreed to in the first place. Evita shares her personal journey from swinging to polyamory, the emotional chaos that came with it, and how jealousy became one of her greatest teachers instead of a relationship-ending villain. We talk about why jealousy isn't a failure, why compersion isn't mandatory, and why "doing it right" looks different for everyone. If you've ever felt like you were bad at non-monogamy, overwhelmed by emotional reactions, or confused by labels that don't quite fit — this episode will feel like a deep exhale. In this episode, we cover: Why non-monogamy doesn't need a label to be valid The emotional shift from swinging to polyamory Why jealousy isn't the enemy — and how to work with it The myth that compersion is required to be "good" at polyamory How freedom, curiosity, and gratitude change relationship dynamics Letting go of entitlement in relationships Why growth in non-monogamy is messy, nonlinear, and completely normal Evita also breaks down her now-famous analogy of switching relationship operating systems — and why moving from monogamy to non-monogamy isn't a flip of a switch, but a full system reboot. If you're new to ethical non-monogamy, questioning polyamory, or redefining what open relationships mean to you, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Follow & Learn More About Our Guest: Evita "Lavitaloca" Sawyers is the author of A Polyamory Devotional and the voice behind the popular "Daily Polyamory Reminders."

    Instant Gratification in Sex: Why Finishing Fast Isn't a Failure

    Is lasting longer in bed really the goal—or have we been getting it wrong this whole time? In this Wednesday Quickie episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we dive headfirst into a topic that gets whispered about but rarely discussed honestly: instant gratification in sex. After a real-life conversation at the club sparked a bigger realization, Adam and Pris unpack why so many people—especially women—actually prefer when sex doesn't drag on forever. From cultural myths about "five-minute men" to the surprising confidence boost that comes from making someone finish fast, this episode flips traditional sexual expectations on their head. We talk about: Why quick finishes can feel validating, sexy, and powerful The pressure men feel to "last forever" and why that expectation is outdated How the lifestyle changes arousal, stimulation, and sexual response Why communication matters more than performance What instant gratification really means emotionally—not just sexually The conversation then takes a turn into another lifestyle reality most people avoid: how to say no after a sexual experience that just didn't click. Adam and Pris break down why you don't owe anyone an explanation, how avoiding honesty causes more harm than being direct, and why "trying it once" doesn't mean you owe someone a sequel. If you've ever felt pressure to perform, worried about hurting someone's feelings, or wondered whether you're doing sex "right," this episode is your permission slip to relax—and get honest. Listener discretion advised. This show is raw, real, and unapologetically adult. 🎧 New Quickie episodes drop every Wednesday.

    Polyamory, Jealousy, and Boundaries: Making Non-Monogamy Make Sense with Polyphilia

    Polyamory doesn't have to be confusing, chaotic, or emotionally overwhelming. In this episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we sit down with award-winning sex and relationships educator Leanne Yau—the brilliant mind behind Poly Philia Blog—to unpack jealousy, boundaries, emotional security, and why non-monogamy isn't a "phase" or a lack of commitment. Leanne shares how she discovered non-monogamy at a young age, how being cheated on shaped her views of honesty and trust, and why jealousy isn't the villain people make it out to be. We also dive into boundaries, attachment styles, generational shifts in relationships, and how social media has changed the way people learn about polyamory. This conversation is funny, deeply validating, and packed with practical insight for anyone curious about open relationships, polyamory, or navigating jealousy without shame. In this episode, we cover: How Leanne discovered non-monogamy and polyamory Why jealousy is normal—and how to work with it instead of suppressing it The difference between healthy boundaries and fear-based rules Why non-monogamy isn't a "phase" or commitment-avoidance How younger generations are reshaping relationship norms Balancing privacy and authenticity as a content creator Resources & Links: Follow Polyphilia on Instagram, TikTok, X & YouTube (@polyphiliablog) and also at  https://direct.me/polyphiliablog Leanne's Patreon and peer support offerings More episodes and events at beyond-monogamy.com 🎙 Stream Beyond Monogamy every Thursday at 2 PM & 7 PM CST on FullSwapRadio.com.

    Compersion Isn't Automatic: Jealousy, Growth & Real Non-Monogamy

    Compersion Isn't Automatic — And That's Completely Normal Compersion gets talked about a lot in ethical non-monogamy — sometimes like it's a requirement, sometimes like it's a badge of honor. But what happens when it just… doesn't come naturally? In this Wednesday Quickie episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we get real about jealousy, emotional processing, missed conversations, and the pressure people feel to "do non-monogamy right." This is a raw, honest conversation pulled straight from real life — no scripts, no coaching language, and no pretending it's always easy. Pris opens up about why compersion doesn't come naturally to her, how cultural upbringing and jealousy wiring play a role, and why being okay is sometimes the best she can offer in the moment. Adam shares what it feels like to want to share excitement and connection with your partner — and what happens when that moment doesn't land the way you expected. What We Talk About In This Episode What compersion actually means (and why it's not the opposite of jealousy) Why compersion is not natural for everyone Jealousy, possessiveness, and territorial instincts in non-monogamy The pressure to perform happiness for your partner How ADHD, stress, and mental overload affect emotional presence Why not talking can be more damaging than feeling jealous Different processing styles between partners Learning to communicate without shutting down Why compromise matters more than emotional perfection Real-Life Moments, Not Theory This episode is sparked by a real play-date experience that went well — but didn't get talked about right away. Adam and Pris unpack why timing, mental space, and communication matter just as much as intentions. If you've ever felt like you were failing at non-monogamy because jealousy showed up instead of compersion, this conversation will feel very familiar. The Takeaway You do not need to feel compersion to be successful in ethical non-monogamy. You do need honesty, self-awareness, communication, and respect for each other's boundaries. This episode is a reminder that non-monogamy isn't about checking emotional boxes — it's about navigating real human feelings together.

    Bi Men in Swinging: Breaking Stigma with United Bi Swinging (Ashley & Rob)

    Episode Summary: In this powerful and overdue conversation, Adam & Pris are joined by Ashley and Rob from the United Bi Swinging Podcast to talk openly about bisexual men in the swinging lifestyle, the stigma that still exists even in sex-positive spaces, and why honest communication matters more than labels. Ashley shares how Rob came out early in their relationship and why that honesty laid the foundation for trust instead of fear. Rob opens up about navigating bisexuality as a man in the lifestyle, why bi men often stay invisible, and how judgment — not desire — keeps people silent.

It's honest, supportive, and exactly the kind of conversation the lifestyle needs more of. In this episode, we discuss: How Ashley & Rob entered the swinging lifestyle Why bi men still face stigma in sex-positive communities The myth that "bi men are rare" Why visibility doesn't always mean being out publicly Consent, boundaries, and debunking harmful assumptions Supporting a bisexual partner without fear or control Why community matters when you feel isolated Guest: Ashley & Rob – United Bi Swinging Podcast Connect with Beyond Monogamy: Website & Events: www.beyond-monogamy.com Streaming on FullSwapRadio.com every Thursday at 2 PM & 7 PM Central Follow us: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beyondmonogamy4u Instagram: @beyond_monogamy_4u X: @beyomono YouTube: @BeyondMonogamywithAdamPris Reddit: r/beyond_monogamy Please rate, review, and share the show.

    Busy Isn't Ghosting: Entitlement, Boundaries & Lifestyle Etiquette

    In this Wednesday QUICKIE episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we're calling out one of the biggest turn-offs in the lifestyle: entitlement disguised as "being ghosted." Just because someone doesn't reply immediately doesn't mean they disappeared — it usually means they're busy living a real life. This episode was sparked by a real interaction on Reddit where a lack of instant replies turned into accusations, guilt-tripping, and a crash course in what not to do when talking to people in the lifestyle. We break down: The difference between being busy and actual ghosting Why patience is sexy and entitlement is not How lifestyle etiquette gets thrown out the window in DMs Why visibility does not equal availability Respecting boundaries without killing the vibe How pushiness quietly ruins attraction If you've ever thought "Why haven't they responded yet?" — this episode is for you. Take a breath, slow your roll, and remember that confidence, respect, and patience are what actually make connections last.
