Author: Life on the Swingset

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.

“Pegging Enthusiast” isn’t just Cooper’s motto… it’s his mission statement. One of the most specific sex acts, named in a contest by Dan Savage’s Savage Love Readers, pegging is when a woman wearing a strap-on fucks a man in the ass. We’ve talked about it off and on over the years, always couched in the broader topic of anal play, but tonight we’re going to give it its due. There’s only one person who can be called master on this subject. The progenitor of the Pegging Paradise podcast, Ruby Ryder is here to talk about it with us. We mentioned…

We’ve talked of group sex and orgies often, the logistics of sex and play parties, of mfm threesomes, and somehow danced around the actual genesis for our mailbag titles. It so happens that we know Jennifer, a frequent gang bang center of attention, and co planning conspirator, so we discuss the many ins and outs of gang bangs tonight! You can find Jennifer at her blog, Willful Girl!

Today’s episode features me, Dylan, speaking with Daisy, Dawn Ardent, Damien, and Duncan as we chat about our community and how we enjoy those of us in the community…thoroughly, being closeted, and loss. I mentioned we on the Swingset needed a break and it looks like we’ve gotten it. Soon you’ll do away with the tyranny of Dylan Thomas and you’ll once again have the comfortable and familiar tyranny of Cooper S. Beckett to look forward to. We’re recording an episode on Pegging with the…always outstanding Ruby Ryder, and an episode on Gang Bangs with a friend of…

Hi Swingset Fans! Dylan Theodore Thomas here, (yes we’ve decided my middle name is Theodore) Over the last six years, Life on the Swingset has grown into more than the sum of its parts.

This isn’t a regular episode. Dylan grabs the mic and takes over for a monologue on stress, thinking about being closeted, and intersectionality. In between all that Morgan tells us how Swinging is her stress relief. You can read more about Mississippi’s HB1523 on NPR, here. This really sums it up: “the Mississippi legislation protects only three beliefs or convictions: that marriage is between a man and a woman, that sex is “properly reserved to such a marriage,” and that words like “male” and “female” are “objectively determined by anatomy and genetics at birth.” You can come along with…

Often our discussion of swinging travels down the traditional “norms” of the subculture, a couple, a man and woman, having sex with other couples. But we all know that any subculture is full of iteration after iteration of variance. Tonight we’re going to talk about one of the oft overlooked swinging groups, lesbians. And as we’re definitely not qualified to speak on the subject, we’ve brought two amazing women, Tiff & Rachel, hosts of the Sapphic Swingers podcast to have this discussion with us. You can find the Sapphic Swingers on twitter @sapphicswingers and their podcast at http://sapphicswingers.blogspot.com/ Support Life on…

Abuse isn’t discussed the same way we discuss other issues in our communities. Otherwise well meaning people sometimes end up working to silence victims of abuse when they need community support the most. People in groups tend to respond poorly when someone or something threatens the group dynamic and often, victims take the brunt of that response. With forethought, preparation, and a commitment to support people who speak out, communities can work through and survive abuse. You can find Ginny Brown on twitter @lirelyn, on Everyday Feminism, and at The Brunette’s Blog. You can find Pepper Mint on…

Sometimes it feels great to be really and truly degraded. The humiliation expansion pack for BDSM draws curiosity, ire, and extreme excitement from the world. Another stop, on that same train line is cuckolding, an act that many still try to make an insult, but may unambiguously show someone at once totally comfortable with their relationship, or working through past issues. Or, of course, just enjoying the fuck out of each other, and others. Tonight we’re joined by Kali, creator of Kink Academy and Author of ‘Enough To Make You Blush: Exploring Erotic Humiliation’ to discuss cuckolding and humiliation play,…

Katie Mack and Ginger Bentham are ready to #femmespread like you’ve never seen before. Talking honestly and earnestly about their experiences as women, Katie and Ginger get unapologetically bitchy.

I turned around, I got fucking big, I saw Wonder Woman…

Six years ago, Cooper, Dylan and two other panelists blustered through far too long of an intro and a horrible title and made a thoroughly mediocre hour of podcasting. When we started this thing called the Swingset, we thought we’d do it for a little while and that would be it. Maybe we would inform, and maybe we would get laid. Little did we know that it would introduce us to wonderful people like Ginger, and Shira, and Miko, Cooper would meet his amazing partner Ophilia, We’d take amazing sexy vacations to mexico every November. To look back over the expanse…
