The Openlove101 Show John & Jackie Melfi

As owners of lifestyle clubs, we hear all the common complaints from members about single guys, so we figured we make a video and share some things NOT to do as a single male at swingers clubs.
​
AVOID these at all costs if you want to connect and play well with others!

Curious about an open lifestyle with your partner?…Let’s explore it together :)

In this episode, John and Jackie tackle various aspects of navigating the swinging lifestyle based on questions from their audience.
 
"How do I deal with the emotional challenges in witnessing my partner's satisfaction with someone else outside group scenarios?"
 
Listen in for practical advice on handling attraction dilemmas, emphasizing communication and individual comfort levels in play situations.
 

We went to an incredible open relationship workshop in Austin, Texas called "True Sex and Wild Love" and here is recap in case you missed it! (And yes we talk about the pink thing.)

The event was hosted by Aubrey Marcus, CEO of Onnit, a company that makes and markets nutritional supplements, fitness equipment, and more in the spirit of optimizing human performance, and his fiance Whitney Miller, who is a relationship coach. (And they both happen to be in an open relationship.)

The guest speaker at their event was Dr. Wednesday Martin, author of the award-winning book "Untrue: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity Is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free".

It was incredible to hear Dr. Martin talk about the benefits of open relationships from her scientific perspective and the research about the critical time period when monogamous couples seek variety (is it the man or woman?!).
 
And finally of course, we talk about this mysterious pink thing.

Well, it takes two to tango.
​
But, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
​
And, that's enough old proverbs (for now) :)
​
Being in a swinging or poly relationship DOES take consent and understanding from all parties involved, but how do you do that? Well, we've got the video for you because that's the question we address today!
​
