The NAUGHTY GYM Show

In this episode we bring in special guests, The Flirty Swingers, to discuss the idea of equality in non-monogamous relationships.We tackle questions like...Is equality a reasonable goal in non-monogamy?Should each partner be willing to work toward accepting and bringing to fruition the desires and fantasies of their partner?Is it okay to dig in your heels and tell your partner "no" to certain scenarios?If you are allowed to do a thing, is it only fair that you allow your partner to do that same thing?Are certain imbalances inherent in all relationships?How to safely work on these imbalances?Is it ever wise to be unwilling to work toward gifting your partner their unfulfilled fantasies?We tackle these questions, hopefully present good advice, and have a lot of laughs in the process.FLIRTY SWINGERS LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theflirtyswingers/YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@theflirtyswingers-jl4qw?si=-5bMptMZpFI2kXVjPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wC8YETbcsyxp7bg5B0B5n

Are feelings something you should avoid at all costs when swinging? Are we all just a bunch of cyborgs having fun with our emotions turned off? What happens if your partner says they are developing feelings for someone?Even worse, what if they fall in love? How bad can it be? How do we handle it if it happens?We discuss all of these topics in this episode of The Naughty Gym Show.

In Episode 30 we talk with Ashley Manta about how we can know whether or not we are good in bed. We all (well, mostly guys) think we are good in bed. But how do you really know? Can we be living under the illusion that we are good when in reality we ain't that great? Are there signs we can look for? Are women often faking it? Are guys typically over confident? Is it a turn off when guys brag about there supposed oral skills... or any of their skills? Is it all about physical skills or is there more important things we should be focused on? How do we get better? We answer all of these questions on this episode with Ashley Manta, the Cannasexual! Ashley Manta's website: www.ashleymanta.com NAUGHTY GYM WEBSITE:

In this episode we interview 4 of the most important members of Hedonism II Resort's management team to get the inside scoop and ask questions about the day to day logistics of running the world's most iconic adult playground. We interview: Diane Lange, Executive Director Winston Barkley, Entertainment Director Tatiana Answer, Director of Sales and Marketing Diana Field, Groups Manager If you are considering a trip to Hedo but have never been, this is an opportunity to hear directly from the people who make this place so special. If you've been to Hedo many times before hopefully you'll really enjoy hearing from management when they are "off the clock."

After exploring the possibility of separate dating for about a year, one of us finally gets to do it. April went on her date and we recap it live on the podcast only 10 hours after the date was over. Somehow we managed not to discuss it until we turned on the mics and started talking the next morning. You'll get to hear us process the whole thing in real time. Additionally we made separate small audio clips each day over the last week leading up to the date. Neither of us knew what the other was saying or how we were feeling. And ultimately, we get into an argument. Listen in as we explain the process, the argument, and recap all the dirty details of an incredibly interesting first foray into the world of separate dating!

Famed UK clinical nutrition scientist, philosopher, and April's apparent new boyfriend, Martin MacDonald is back on the show. This time we are going into detail about his evidence based Aggressive Diet Program to talk about how he is using science to prove you can lose a LOT of fat in a relatively short period of time. In the process of nerding out about nutrition we get sidetracked several times by descriptions of our private WhatsApp conversations with Martin and his girlfriend Alex and some of their hilarious stories about his jealousy kink. If you have an upcoming Lifestyle event and need to lean out in the safest, fastest way possible, your going to love this episode. It's long but absolutely worth it.

In this episode we tackle the difficult topic of saying "No" when someone propositions you with play when you aren't interested. It is always tough to hurt someone's feelings but it is unavoidable in consensual non-monogamy. Learning to be direct while simultaneously being polite is difficult but doable. In this episode we discuss when to say "no," how to say "no," and how to receive a "no." Most importantly we give you advice on how to craft a single response you can automatically use in any situation to say "no" while minimizing the chances of hurting feelings.

In episode 24 we try to break down the issue of expectations in consensual non-monogamy.It is all too common for one partner to have different (or no) expectations about events or non-monogamous life in general. These differences can too often be the source of bumps along the journey into more sexually open relationships.We attempt to define expectations, explain why the are usually not a benefit, how they can derail happiness at events, and how to reimagine how you think and mentally prepare for events in the lifestyle.And finally we offer our advice and how we think you can decrease your chances at leaving an event disappointed by learning shift your focus away from sex and more toward developing connections.

This episode was going to be April flying solo but she quickly calls Scott in when the wheels fall off. We discuss a few things that have been swirling around in that beautiful brain of hers. Everything from starting a non-monogamous commune to getting led to Jesus on the pickleball courts.

We interview journalist, sex coach, and CrossFit coach, Gabrielle Kassel. She has written extensively for major publications about sex, fitness, and the intersection of the two.We cover topics like her career, whether she's faced backlash for her personal life, non-monogamy, trans athletes, and more.

We talk with Coach Cara about the ins and outs of the illusive unicorn. When a couple decides to open up their relationship one of the most common initial fantasies is to bring in a 3rd female... often called a unicorn. In this podcast, three experienced consensual non-monogamists discuss the realities and difficulties of making this happen and how to handle it if it does. Here's the questions we tackle... What is a unicorn? How hard is it to find a unicorn? How do you attract a unicorn? How should men treat a unicorn? How should women treat a unicorn? How should a unicorn respond to couples? How to take care of a unicorn after play. Welcome to the Naughty gym show.

We interview Victoria and her husband Ryan about their new venture, Birds Of A Feather Matchmaking. This is the industries 1st matchmaking service (as far as we know) for people in various forms of open relationships. Is this for you? Do you need help making connections? Are you too busy to scroll through dating apps and want to outsource this part of your love life? Or how about some coaching on how to setup your profile? Or how about having a date with someone who evaluates your interpersonal skills? Birds of a Feather solves these problems for you. It is incredibly interesting learning about the incredible amount of detailed work that goes into this process. And if you have the cash, this may be just the thing you've been looking for. April and I both think this service will be incredibly beneficial for many people.

We sit down with Casual Swingers Podcast creators, Mickey and Mallory, while we are together in Nashville, to discuss our ideal play partners.

We tackle age, weight, height, hair, grooming, occupation, religious and political leanings, play styles, play scenarios, relationship status, and sexuality. Mix these insightful and raw answers with a lot of laughter and a few surprises and it makes for a great conversation between friends. As a bonus at the end, we all reveal 1 unfulfilled fantasy that we each have. In some cases this comes as a surprise to our partners!

Nutrition Scientist (and philosopher according to April), Martin MacDonald, joins the Naughty Gym Show to discuss the intersection of nutrition, fitness, sex, and the occassional foray into religion. Scott and Martin low key form a bromance and April gets mad when Martin comes to Scott's defense about Diet Dr. Pepper. This was such a fun episode and it lasts about 90 minutes. But we talked for 2 hours and had to edit some great stuff out. Enjoy!

Listen in as April interviews Scott to really dig deep into his journey from ultra conservative small town Alabama, having a daughter at 17, loving then leaving religion, and now proudly out as a bisexual man in an open relationship while still living in that same small town... and everyone there knows all about him.Scott discusses his previous 3 failed marriages, having an affair that cost him everything but gained him the world, losing his extended family over his lifestyle choices, rejoicing that his immediate family still loves and supports him, his decade long internal battle leaving religion, and how through the chaos of his public adultery and being outed as a swinger, he's finally found purpose and fulfillment while living life with the woman of his dreams.

In our first episode we wanted to tell April's story from her less than ideal upbringing, her rebellious early twenties, a tumultous marriage, the subsequent finding of religion and working for the church, her affair and how finally, in her mid-forties she is finding herself and her true calling through fitness and consensual non-monogamy.
