Unfair Swinger Rules: The Boundaries That Break Couples
Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris
Some swinger rules sound great… until you actually have to live with them. In this Wednesday Quickie episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we dive headfirst into the most common unfair rules in swinging and ethical non-monogamy — the ones couples swear will “protect the relationship” but often do the exact opposite. From “no feelings allowed” to approval rules, same-room-only forever, no single guys, and the classic double standards where one partner can do things the other can’t, we break down why these rules exist, where they come from, and how they quietly create...

Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris
What happens when the swinger lifestyle starts to feel less like freedom and more like permission? In this raw and honest Beyond Monogamy Quickie, Adam and Pris unpack a listener confession that hits closer to home than most people want to admit: one-sided rules in the lifestyle. The listener describes a dynamic where her husband controls who she can play with, forbids single men, and ultimately restricts her from being with men at all—while she places no rules on him and genuinely wants him to have the best experiences possible. She agrees to the restrictions not because they align with her...

Polyamory, Jealousy, and Boundaries: Making Non-Monogamy Make Sense with Polyphilia
Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris

In this episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we sit down with award-winning sex and relationships educator Leanne Yau—the brilliant mind behind Poly Philia Blog—to unpack jealousy, boundaries, emotional security, and why non-monogamy isn’t a “phase” or a lack of commitment.

info_outlineUnfiltered but Not Unkind is one of those episodes that needed to happen.
In this raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation, Adam & Pris pull back the curtain on the lifestyle behaviors we all quietly side-eye… but rarely say out loud. This isn’t a call-out episode. There’s no rage, no dunking, and definitely no drama farming. Instead, it’s thoughtful honesty, humor, and real talk about swinger etiquette, communication breakdowns, confidence versus self-awareness, and why “just communicate more” is terrible advice when no one explains how.
We talk openly about:
- The difference between confidence and lack of self-awareness (and why overconfidence kills attraction)
- Why hypersexual behavior shuts doors faster than it opens
- Oversharing explicit content in spaces that didn’t consent to that energy
- Treating every interaction like a sexual audition (and why that’s a turnoff)
- The harm caused by “Google it” culture instead of real guidance
- Jealousy as a signal, not a personal failure
- Inclusive language without inclusive behavior
- Why your relationship should always come before the lifestyle
We also get deeply personal—sharing moments from our own relationship where communication failed, jealousy showed up, and growth was uncomfortable but necessary. From stopping polyamory to rebuilding emotional security, this episode is a reminder that honesty and kindness can coexist—and that loving the lifestyle doesn’t mean pretending it’s perfect.
If you’ve ever left a party thinking, “I don’t want to sound judgy, but…” — this episode is for you.
