SS 174: Bacchanalia Basics: It's Play Party Time! – Live At CatalystCon West
Life on the Swingset returns to CatalystCon West for a panel discussion about throwing and attending a play party. They’re whispered about, opinions are drawn, expectations are high for both attendees and non. The sex party, the play party, the swinger party, call it what you will, to anyone who’s never been to one they conjure up visions of hedonistic abandon, or deeply creepy masked affairs. With so many people looking to explore their sexuality and needing a safe place to do so, play parties have value far beyond a whole bunch of naked people in a room. They can educate as well as titillate. So that's what we're here to talk about today.

SS 168: We Are All In Charge in the Swinging Lifestyle
We're all evangelists for our lifestyles. We're not trying to convince people to try it out, we're there to offer our own experiences, to story tell, to educate when people ask for more information, and when people are ready to hop in, at least for us swingers, we all seem to make the same mistake. "Also, women run the lifestyle!" We unpack the sentiment, the history, and the reality behind the statement and the contention that the lifestyle is female run in swinging in tonight's podcast.

SS 167: Talking Dirty - Turning Your Filthy Thoughts Into Naughty Words
A couple months ago we tackled the topic of flirting, and how it's rather essential to sexy interaction, rather exponentially expanded for non-monogamy. Tonight on Life on the Swingset: The Podcast we're going to turn that flirty talk into sexy talk and discuss talking dirty: how, when, why, and what's too much. We also take the time to answer an extended listener voicemail about equal rights, gay marriage, and the civil rights movement.
