As a lifestyle that is outside the mainstream, ethical non-monogamy tends to attract humans who are outside the mainstream.

They’ll discuss consent navigation, their progression from past to present, slut shaming, relating to women on a…

They’ve jet off to paradise in Mexico at Desire Resort and Spa for a swinging vacation, the third annual Life on the Swingset Takes Desire. With 160 people along for the ride, they’ve spent a week of hedonism, debauchery, and drunkenness that would make the Rolling Stones sit back and take note. On Thursday of their week long trip, they sat down to talk with a live audience of friends and lovers, and do a live podcast. This is the result. Join us in Mexico next…

We at the Swingset are not wealthy. Despite what some may think, we don’t make a fabulous living delivering a free podcast to you folks week after week. Despite that, though, we can afford to go to the occasional party, take the occasional (yearly) trip to Desire, sign up for paying sites. Or at least these ideas aren’t incredibly foreign to us. On this episode we talkĀ about how to “do” non monogamy on a budget, and how to make that time count. Give us a call and leave a voicemail at 573-55-SWING, (573-557-9464), we want your stories, your orgasms, your…
