Katz makes her triumphant return with a considerable discussion about impermanence and how the changes in her and both Cooper’s relationships statuses have affected their views on non-monogamy and their own sexuality, and how… that is ok.

In this very special (non)episode of Life on the Swingset, Ginger Bentham and Cooper Beckett do a dramatic reading of the recent Anthony Weiner twitter scandel “reported on” by The Dirty We would again like to insist that this is all alleged, and if Anthony Weiner was on the up and up with all involved, we at Swingset have no problem with this at all. In fact, it’d be nice to see a mayor who acknowledges certain proclivities. Check out the Smitten Kitten Online and use our discount code, SWINGSET for a 10% discount!

We listened to your voicemail (left at 573-55-SWING) and read your e-mail (sent to contact@lifeontheswingset.com) and decided to throw it all in the bag and gang bang it!

The bottom line is…

Feminist porn means a lot of things to a lot of people, but what it doesn’t do is exclude people based on gender, body type, partner preference or play style. It’s, paraphrasing Tristan Taormino, organic, fair trade porn. It’s organic because it emerges from performers doing precisely what they choose to do, and fair trade because they participate in ethical business practices. We discuss feminist porn with Dylan Ryan and talk about the movement at large. Check out the Smitten Kitten Online and use our discount code, SWINGSET for a 10% discount! Check out the NJoy Fun Wand!

Oral sex, it occupies a very prominent place in most people’s sex lives, and for those of us who practice soft swapping, oral sex is often the main course. We focus specifically on fellatio today, and … well Cooper’s metaphors are terrible but it’s ok… we’ll keep him busy with a big fat dildo. We discuss technique, accessories (lubrication, condoms, toys, etc…), communication and negotiation, and … get distracted. A lot.
