A podcast about swinging, polyamory, open relationships, and "the lifestyle" from the trenches. A diverse group tackles many issues involved with non-monogamy and what it means to be a swinger or polyamorous from the point of view of educating and illuminating what, for many, is a confusing journey to start on.

We brought Miko Technogeisha on for a discussion on our own personal kinks, and… ended up derailed when Dylan inevitably decided to use Ginger’s bedroom habits for his own personal scene. Upon attempting to get back on track Cooper sets up a second scene involving some fictional magical characters at a fictional wizardry school and…  Ginger steps out for a few! After the break we go into what it can feel like for a “less kinky” person to encounter a “very kinky” person and all around just chat about how much fun it can be, to be kinky. Check out…

My name is Cooper Beckett, and I am a loudmouth. I’m extremely opinionated, and I use my little podcast as a soap box for my opinions. I’m also a snarky bastard, who enjoys giving shit to all. Just ask Dylan. This weekend, I got two emails, both taking me to task for my grumpery. I have snarked about “breeders” because I have no interest in having children. I have never seen this term as an insult, and have no issue whatsoever with children, or those who bear them. I like kids, I like people with kids. As a definite minority…

Cooper and Dylan throw some great swinger parties, but not always by design. Much like their journey into non-monogamy, a combination of moxie, trial and error, and luck has combined to create some wonderful stories. Reid Mihalko on the other hand has spent time and effort learning how carefully crafting group dynamics create the best chance of worthwhile parties for everyone, and not necessarily just with swingers.

“Hey Cooper… tell us how you really feel!” “Well alright then.” We’ve discussed organized religion and how it’s affected our own relationship with sexuality, how it influences our community as a whole and… at times, indelicately pointed out where we take issue with its monopoly on morality and its right to judge what’s acceptable and what’s not. We finally said fuck it, threw up our arms, and invited Darrel Ray, author of the books The God Virus: How Religion Affects Our Lives and Culture, and Sex and God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality to join us for a discussion on how…
