Life on the Swingset - The Swinging & Polyamory Podcast

Hi everybody, it's the Life on the Swingset annual Toytacular event! We're in year three of recommending the best and most interesting toys we've played with, and laughing about the worst and worst designed toys we've suffered with. We bring Claire from the Smitten Kitten Online into the conversation and riff on... oh, something like 40 or more toys. Hop on and bring a pad of paper!

Parenting when you're a swinger or a polyamorist isn't easy is most definitely not a topic that's well documented. Luckily Airial Clark has been picking up the slack! She joins us for a conversation on how to be a parent and straddle the line between too soon and not soon enough. We discuss the advantages and hurdles children may encounter when coming up against an aggressively monogamist society, and all in all, how to stay sex positive. Check out the Smitten Kitten Online's Intimate Organics Aromatherapy Massage Oils. They're Dylan Thomas endorsed! (Don't forget the discount code, "swingset" for a 10% discount!) Shira wants to point out the DTFH discussion with Dr. Christopher Ryan! We also had Christopher Ryan on back on episode 27. Wow...

Cooper, Ginger, and Dylan brought Marilyn, The Professor, Tonia, and 30+ couples with them to Desire in Cancun, Mexico! 18 months of foreplay result in good feelings, a little crying, lots of sexy time, and a terribly unstructured but incredibly fun to record podcasting session where we discuss introductions, making moves, saying no, and just being part of the flow. This... is Life on the Swingset, recorded on-location, in paradise. Check out the Smitten Kitten Online store! (Don't forget the discount code, "swingset" for a 10% discount!)

When the Swingers are away the Katz will play! Shira B. Katz has taken over the Swingset, and has enlisted her husband of mythical proportions Gavin Katz. The hosts of Pedestrian Polyamory (cheap plug) aren't necessarily talking about Polyamory this week, but their ventures into a Swinger party. Comparisons are made between the two cultures, Shira wants to ride the Swing Train, and Gavin wants to hit her with one.

We're up for a second round of double penetration! That'd be double, double penetration.... Hmm... Anyway, We're back with questions about what to do about party invitations when you have a couple that breaks up, bringing up the cultivation of poly relationships with swinger friends, long distance relationships, partners leaving the lifestyle and potentially their relationships, being and dealing with self-consciousness about cock performance and size, the "genderless", the difference between healthy and unhealthy swinger relationships, and... Equality in freedom to explore. We covered quite a bit of ground on this episode. Take a listen, strap on those thigh dildos, and gang-bang along with us!

Today on Life on the Swingset, the Podcast, we take your questions and give you sweet, delicious, custard filled answers. We talk about metamores not getting along, reading your partners' e-mails, the struggle to decide whether to let a swing partner cum inside your partner, swinging with a cancer conquering sexy body, our horrible, horrible fetlife profiles, our opi... well ok we covered a lot today and we'll cover a lot next week as we run hot right up to the edge of our trip to Desire.

Kendra Holliday joins us in a discussion on how to be open and sex positive while still staying friendly and approachable. Our discussion heats up when Dylan suggests that he misses Rick Santorum competing for the Republican presidential nomination because it was such a great opportunity to discuss sex positivity in comparison to the extreme positions Santorum took on... well everything from sex's role to women's health, and cools back down once we all figured out that we're all best served by having calm reasoned discussions with people we disagree with...

Two years ago a woman by the name of TBK visited us here on the Swingset to talk about her life, and her website, The Beautiful Kind. We heard back from her after she came out as Kendra Holliday and listened as she described the liberation of being out and the frustration of being under attack from all sides for her decision. Today she rejoins us and lets us know how she's progressed on her journey from a simple webmistress to a founder of Sex Positive St. Louis, as an activist, as a mother, and as a woman. Join the Swingset crew at Desire Resort & Spa from November 3-10, 2012!

A listener's story about the unreasonable request from a swing friend for the husband in a couple to impregnate her, leads us into a discussion about what is acceptable and not to ask of your partners in swinging & polyamory, and also what to do when the dreaded drama rears its ugly head. Join the Swingset crew at Desire Resort & Spa from November 3-10, 2012!

Our good friends SFCuties asked us, "Is there a swinger version of PolySaturated, and what would it be called?" We take on this challenge tonight, going through what it feels like to be polysaturated and smitten with what we call, "swing overload". Shira B. Katz regales us with tales of her time at Burning Man including good times at the indoor airconditioned sex dome, which then disintegrated into discussion about body odors in the context of orgies.
