There is a sort of order from chaos that happens when like minded people discover others like themselves. Individuals become clusters, clusters become groups, and with groups come unavoidable growing pains, issues, conflict, and struggle. Still, there’s a certain magic that comes from having a group of diverse and motivated people with a common role come together to build something, because when you get it right, you end up with a community. Community role models are essential and tonight, Kevin Patterson joins Cooper, Dylan, Dirty Lola, and Mike Joseph to discuss poly role models and the joys and struggles involved with building sex…

After seven years of podcasting, it’s rather shocking to us how much we put of our lives out into the ether. A podcast can be very much like a living document in that way. What compels us to share so much of ourselves? Probably some narcissism, but also an innate belief that personal information breeds empathy and understanding. Tonight we talk about sharing and oversharing with Cooper, Dylan, Dirty Lola, Mike Joseph, Dr. Liz Powell, Kinky Jean, and Lucas Brooks to talk about putting our lives out in the open, out on stage. You can support us while you…

It seems to happen like clockwork. Someone cheats, or gets caught in some sort of sex scandal. They have to make amends, show that they’re working to fix “the problem” so they can return to their normal lives. While we on the Swingset happen to think that many of their normal lives might’ve been improved with open and honest conversations about monogamy, so often they fall back to the excuses of “I’m addicted to sex” and failing that, “I’m addicted to porn.” It’s widespread and it’s been propagated by early friend to open sexual discussion Dr. Drew (who has since…
