bh191: time for a question or two

In this episode we talk about Mrs H's solo adventure in Paris. Was it all Pokemon hunting or was there something a little more naughty? We explore how it all went, how we felt during the trip and talk a little bit about what Mr H got up to whilst Mrs H was away.  Will Mrs H bring him back a croissant, will it be too hot in Paris, will Mr H have changed the theme tune again and what happens when storm stops play? Find out all of this and more in this delightful edition of the bed hoppers podcast. Thanks for hopping into our bed! Handy links Want to come along to our 6 September social in Birmingham?

This episode features a candid conversation with delightful guests Ads and Chantelle, about their experiences in the swinging lifestyle. They discuss how they initially entered the lifestyle through an amateur adult content blog and the subsequent evolution of their relationship, including Chantelle's discovery of her bisexuality and Ads's exploration of his own. The couple shares insights into overcoming challenges, such as ghosting and boundary violations, and emphasise the importance of communication and building a supportive community within the lifestyle. They also touch upon their role in organising social events and offer advice to newcomers, advocating for open-mindedness and dispelling common misconceptions about swinging. You can find Ads and Chantelle on Swinghub at MrMrsWood. Thanks for hopping into our bed!

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!

In this episode we catch up on our solo dating experiences and explore why we've been having some separate play dates over the last few months. We cover what's to come and why we might keep this activity as part of our overall play experience. If you're looking to explore this aspect of Swinging, this one might inspire a conversation or two. And if you're just looking to be entertained, there's nothing better than Mrs H trying to tell a sexy story (we can't back that up).  Thanks for hopping into our bed!

This episode features Rich and Jo, who playfully describe each other before discussing their entry into the swinging lifestyle via online platforms and initial club experiences. A key theme is communication, which they highlight as crucial for navigating their relationship and has positively impacted their "vanilla" life. They also delve into their adult ADHD diagnoses, finding relief in understanding their behaviours, and discuss the potential link between neurodiversity and the lifestyle, including the concept of "risky sexual behaviour". Navigating jealousy and boundaries is explored through personal anecdotes, emphasising that jealousy is normal but manageable within agreed limits. Offering advice to newcomers, they stress having an open mind and recognising the ordinary nature of people in the lifestyle. They playfully critique rigid definitions of labels and the stigma associated with their lifestyle. And their ideal date reflects their relaxed and engaging dynamic.
