SS Special - Swingerpiece Theater Presents: Weinergate 2 - The Embiggening
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.

~ low pitched rumble ~ ~grabs handle, pulls, rumble stops ~ *sniff* Ahhhhhhhhhhh..... Nice and clean.

SS 123: So It's Come To This
Everyone on the Swingset has been through an extended period of life where... there's just nothing left to give. Shira B. Katz has a new job but can't make the time to join us every week (but she will be back!), Ginger, Cooper, AND Dylan have all moved recently. But in between everything, life happens. Ginger chats about a surprise visit from The RopeMaster (tm), Cooper talks a little about his divorce and the process of going through one through the lens of non-monogamy, and Dylan... well he just talks, but he's a credit to team. The bottom line is we're back, and we're chatting about where we've been the last few weeks. Enjoy!

SS 122: Feminist Porn with Dylan Ryan
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. [powerpress] Check out the Smitten Kitten Online and use our discount code, SWINGSET for a 10% discount!

SS 120: Soft Swap: Oral Sex II - Fellatio (Blowjobs & Deep Throating)
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.

SS 118: Playtime Troubleshooting: How To Be Successful Fucking When Details Get In The Way
Lets Fuck. Yeah... that doesn't usually work as a pickup line. But assuming it does, there's a whole host of other things that can happen that require a little more communication than that! We deal with pre-playtime communication, getting all the details out in the open (and out of the way) with elevator speeches and negotiating consent and figuring out that playing and STDs are -not- mutually exclusive. We move into actually having sex where things don't always go as planned. Where did the condom go? Where did the erection go? OHGOD A CRAMP! I'm not ok with this situation anymore. Things happen, and we discuss having those conversations without panicking and with a willingness to work through whatever comes up and get back... to the fucking.

Shira B. Katz has rejoined the swingset crew! We celebrate by playing catch up! We talk about whether Cooper has been fisted, talk about where the head space is between swinging and polyamory, about girls dating girls, and really... we just slide organically from one topic to another until we've burrowed so far down into the rabbit hole it feels like ages since we looked down and said "hey... that's a big hole".

SS 116: Gang-bang The Mailbag 8 - Swinging With Herpes & Wanting Different Things from Non-Monogamy
We're back! All four of us! That's right! We figured out how to fit Shira B. Katz into a canvas sack so we could all gang bang that mailbag together! We answer questions about couples who have an imbalance in how they play or practice non-monogamy or experience jealousy, swinging with herpes, and take praise from someone who never fails to make sure there's a towel around... just in case.
