Life on the Swingset is a podcast and website about swinging, polyamory, and open relationships from the trenches. Through debates, interviews, and sexy discussions, The Swingset Crew tackles sex, relationships, and their accompanying accoutrements, and what it means to be open sexually in a world that’s often closed.

SS 390: "Things can be messy, but things don't have to be toxic."
With this episode, we emerge from our reduced pandemic release schedule where our focus was on virtual Swingset community events to connect and sustain us through challenging times, and refocus on the podcast.
We invited Eve, Marissa, Celeste, Rose, and Melanie with an intimate conversation about navigating toxic relationships. We're grateful for these five courageous humans for sharing their stories and wisdom so that we can learn from their experiences.

Join Dylan, Ryan, and Ginger as they host Catherine of Expansive Connection. Catherine offers her perspective on relationship therapy and her Power of Witness experience. It can be a challenge for those in polyamorous, open, and multipartnered relationships to find qualified helping professionals who not just tolerate nontraditional relationships, but elevate and celebrate the strengths of those who opt in for creative relationships. The crew talks therapy, truth-telling, and they share personal stories of their own adventures in love and sex.

SS 387: Euretic Consent with Shawn Coleman and Kevin Patterson
Shawn Coleman and Kevin Patterson join Ginger Bentham, Ryan Bentham, and Dylan Thomas, to discuss consent. They talk practicing consent in every day life.
“Consent has to exist in our every day lives and not just be a concept in the legal system.”
The concept of euretic consent, a term Shawn Coleman has offered the world, is a concept “literally made for this time, this experience, this revolution that we're going through… that invites us to reevaluate our boundaries and our relationships to ourselves.”

Customer Reviews
Desire Fabulous
I had so much fun meeting these fine people at Desire. I wish I would have had time to have done Dylan. Maybe next year. Peace.
Mehh
Unless you’re a stoned millennial from the north west who loves to listen to people cackling for no apparent reason other than to hear themselves laugh, while talking over each other, listen to any of the other swingers podcasts.
Excellent guide for the journey
The hosts are engaging and down to earth with the topic. My wife and I are fairly new to the scene and this podcast is a great resource to help us navigate our journey. Looks like I have plenty of content to catch up on.
