bh207: swinging in Cap d'Agde (part one)

In this episode we speak to Jess, who shares her personal journey and insights into the ethically non-monogamous lifestyle. Jess, describing herself as a "9-year-old who has been to a lot of therapy", recounts entering the scene through polyamory after university and later discovering swinging post-lockdown. She identifies as solo poly, preferring to engage in swinging independently, shaped by her own desires and boundaries. Jess emphasises the importance of "doing the work" to unlearn monogamous norms, reframing jealousy, and establishing clear boundaries, particularly not dating monogamous individuals or poly people with negative views on swinging. She covers body image issues and overcoming a hierarchy in the swinging community that sometimes invalidates single participants.

In this episode we dive into a discussion about rules and boundaries. We talk about how our rules have evolved from when we first started swinging, how they’ve changed and why we’ve changed them. We explore why we have them there in the first place and if we’ve broken any rules along the way. You might find this a useful listen if you’re about to explore ethical non monogamy and swinging - or it might be a timely reminder to have a discussion about your current rules and boundaries. Either way, we dig into the topic and have some fun along the way. Thanks for hopping into our bed!
