Ophilia and I sat down to talk about the Tantus Black Widow Connoisseur Harness. We recorded our conversation and are presenting it here both in audio form as well as a transcription. Cooper: Today we’re reviewing the Black Widow Connoisseur Harness from Tantus. This is also sometimes called the Spiderman Harness. Ophilia: I did feel like fucking superhero. Cooper: It looks like Spiderman. This is made out of leather and it’s really, really soft leather. Ophilia: Premium leather and it actually feels premium. It’s extremely soft. Cooper: The interior of it, it’s two leather panels and then leather straps and…

Ophilia and I sat down to talk about the Tantus Flurry O2 Dildo. We recorded our conversation and are presenting it here both in audio form as well as a transcription. Cooper: Today we’re talking about the Tantus Flurry O2 Dildo. Ophilia: Yes, it makes me want ice cream. Cooper: Specifically a McFlurry? Ophilia: I’m not going to name any corporate. Cooper: You won’t shill for a corporation? Ophilia: No. I’m not going to name drop. Cooper: We have a bright pink Flurry. Ophilia: I’ll name drop Haagen Daas. That’s a name. I’ll drop that. Cooper: Okay. At the base…

Ophilia and I sat down to talk about the New York Toy Collective’s Shilo Dildo. We recorded our conversation and are presenting it here both in audio form as well as a transcription. Cooper: Today we’re talking about the New York Toy Collective’s Shilo Dildo Ophilia: Yes, I like it. Cooper: I like it too. Ophilia: I like it a lot. Cooper: So this was used over the weekend at a party and I was pegged with this dildo. Really right off the bat what makes the Shilo very unique, what makes all the dildos from New York Toy Collective…

Ophilia and I sat down to talk about the Tantus’ Uncut #1 – Uncircumcised Dildo. We recorded our conversation and are presenting it here both in audio form as well as a transcription. Cooper: Today we are reviewing pre-release a new dildo from Tantus called the Uncut and we have the large uncut and by the name, you Ophilia: You should be able to figure it out. Cooper: You can probably guess what makes this dildo rather unique. Ophilia: It is an uncircumcised penis simulation. Cooper: Simulation, yes. First of all, this is made out of really high grade silicone. It’s…

Cooper’s first book My Life on the Swingset is 100 days old today! To celebrate the first of many milestones, we’ll be posting two interviews that he did recently. The second of which has Cooper visiting long time friend, and podcast guru Cunning Minx on the Polyamory Weekly podcast.

Cooper’s first book My Life on the Swingset is 100 days old today! To celebrate the first of many milestones, we’ll be posting two interviews that he did recently. The first of which has Cooper sitting down with Mr & Mrs Jones of the We Gotta Thing podcast. Below is their description of the episode: “In this bonus episode we veer from our normal format to chat with Cooper, host of the “Life on the Swingset” podcast, about his new book “My Life on the Swingset” and other sex-positive topics.  As you know, Mrs. Jones and I use podcasts and other…

Nearly a month has passed, and the show has not left my mind. Not even close. Thanks to my incredible constant, my generous wife Ophilia, I was able to see John Cameron Mitchell perform the titular role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway. I was able to share a moment with a precious few. Share an adventure with my wife. Share space with an amazingly talented performer. From the front row. This has brought a tremendous gift full circle. A feeling of acceptance and community. A connection. I’ve seen this show in multiple incarnations, from bootleg videos of the original…

Quite a bit of time has passed since I last put forth a manifesto, a why I do what I do statement. I thought, on the occasion of Swingset’s fifth birthday and 200th episode, it’d be worth some reflection. I know, I know, it seems sometimes that “meandering reflection” could very well be the definition of “what I do.” It’s rare, though, to get to a milestone like this, with this type of project. So milestone reflection can often seem as unnecessary or premature as celebrating monthaversaries in high school. To tell an old story, Life on the Swingset: The…

Realizing that it’s truly not fair to over hate on things when you’ve never actually experienced them, my lovely Miss Ophilia and I decided to head out to the multiplex and experience a bit of this whole Fifty Shades thing that all the youngins are talking about. And because we’ll probably hate it (it didn’t have a chance) why not share that hate with the Twitterverse. I give you, our hate tweet. #ss50shades #ss50shades

Hey all! Cooper here. I was lucky enough to be asked to be a guest expert on Dan Savage’s Savage Love column. This post originally appeared here on January 21, 2015 I live in a small city in a semirural area. I’m a single woman and am attracted to the idea of an underground swinger scene, or something similar, as a way to get some attachment-free action. But everyone around here knows each other or knows of each other, and something like this would be buried way underground. I’m convinced a swinging scene exists here, but I have no idea…
