Non-monogamy isn't just more love. It's more feelings, more conversations, and sometimes… a lot more processing.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Candace Sogren, lawyer, former CEO, emotional intelligence facilitator, mom, and author of Poly Agony.

Hey loves, it's Nikky — and Valentine's gave us the full delicious mess this time. I'm still buzzing (and occasionally cringing) from these listener confessions that swing wildly between laugh-out-loud disasters, scorching triumphs, and the kind of hard lessons that stick.We've got capsaicin betrayal that turned a spicy dinner into screaming “fire down below” panic — milk baths, ice cream, and pure regret. Then there's the perfectly executed hotwife fantasy: shimmering stockings, red stilettos staying locked on, double-team action with rimming and that sweet cleanup glow. One wife slipped into blue lace Honey Birdette — mesh teasing, stay-ups gripping, no panties — and begged me to hear how she asked to be “used like your whore,” unlocking filthy new depths with her husband. And the gut-punch: red lace, thigh-highs, rough play that felt electric until post-orgasm tears revealed unprocessed emotions, leaving regret in the afterglow.I unpack it all — the highs that leave you throbbing for days, the epic fails that make us laugh until we cry, and the reminders that consent, deep check-ins, and aftercare aren't optional; they're everything. Lingerie obsessives, you're welcome — those stockings + heels staying on details? They amplify every single sensation.What's your Valentine's high or low? Drop your anonymous confessions in the comments, DMs, — the juiciest might get a soft, sexy read on the next episode.Explicit adult content — 18+ only.

Opening a relationship can feel empowering… and activating.A lot of people expect ethical non-monogamy or polyamory to feel freeing right away. Instead, it often brings up jealousy, comparison, attachment wounds, and questions about self-worth.If you've ever thought: “Why am I confident everywhere else but spiraling in my relationship?” “Why does non-monogamy trigger my insecurities?” “How do I feel secure and desirable while practicing ENM?”This episode is for you.Relationship coach Ellecia Paine talks with clinical sexologist and therapist Dr. Joy Berkheimer about confidence, desire, body image, attachment, and emotional regulation in ethical non-monogamy.Together they explore how ENM can become a path toward deeper self-trust, sexual empowerment, and real self-love.This conversation blends therapy, lived experience, and practical wisdom for women navigating open relationships, polyamory, and personal growth.

Once you've stepped outside the lines, can you ever really color inside them again?In this episode, we tackle the question a lot of people think about—but rarely say out loud: once you've experienced the swinger lifestyle, is going back to a “vanilla” relationship even possible? We dig into how exposure to new desires can permanently shift expectations, why some couples feel fulfilled returning to monogamy, and why others feel stifled trying to rewind the clock.We talk honestly about emotional rewiring, sexual comparison, jealousy, intimacy gaps, and the quiet grief that can come with giving up a lifestyle that once felt liberating. Is vanilla boring—or just different? Is craving more a failure of commitment, or a sign of deeper self-awareness?Whether you're considering closing your relationship, already trying to, or just curious where the line between growth and loss really sits, this episode pulls back the curtain on what “going back” actually means—and whether it's ever truly the same.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-wife-podcast-and-the-swinger-lifestyle--5343522/support.Join our Supporters Club and listen to our shows Ad FREE!https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-wife-podcast-and-the-swinger-lifestyle--5343522/support

Opening a relationship can feel exciting and urgent, especially once the idea of non-monogamy is on the table. A lot of couples hear advice like “date separately” and assume that's the next step they're supposed to take.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I slow that moment way down.Dating separately can be incredibly powerful, but only when your relationship has the foundation to support it. When there's unresolved hurt, shaky communication, nervous system overwhelm, or fear being managed through control, opening up tends to magnify those issues instead of solving them.I walk you through five signs it might be worth pausing before opening, not because you're doing anything wrong, but because building capacity first can save a lot of pain later.This episode is about honesty, safety, and learning how to go deep before you go wide. Healthy non-monogamy isn't built by rushing. It's built by trust, self-awareness, and emotional skill.

What happens when intimacy starts to feel distant and sex becomes less frequent—or disappears altogether? In this episode, we dive into the many reasons a partner may lose interest in sex, including aging, stress, medications, body image, mental health, and life's everyday pressures. We talk openly about how these changes can affect both partners, the emotional fallout that often goes unspoken, and why loss of desire isn't always about attraction or love. Most importantly, we explore ways couples can communicate, reconnect, and navigate this sensitive topic with honesty, empathy, and hope.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-wife-podcast-and-the-swinger-lifestyle--5343522/support.Join our Supporters Club and listen to our shows Ad FREE!https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-wife-podcast-and-the-swinger-lifestyle--5343522/support

In this episode, Candice unpacks the sudden explosion of “ENM” on dating apps — the acronym men are using like a spiritual permission slip to cheat before you even match. She breaks down how some folks are hiding chaos behind buzzwords, calling it “ethical” while offering zero loyalty, zero effort, and zero accountability.- https://linkbio.co/ManicCandice

What do you do when your partner says they are open to non monogamy, but only under very specific rules?Only dating women.Only forming a triad.Only dating together as a couple.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, non monogamous relationship coach Ellecia Paine breaks down what's really underneath rules like the One Penis Policy and forced triads, and how to talk about them without turning the conversation into a power struggle.This episode is a continuation of Episode 138, where we explored why dating separately is such an important growth tool in polyamory. Episode 139 focuses on the communication skills needed when a partner feels scared of autonomy and uses structure to manage fear.In this episode, you'll learn:Why OPP and “only triads” are usually rooted in fear and comparisonHow monogamous conditioning shapes control-based relationship rulesHow to talk about autonomy without shaming or self abandoningThe difference between care based boundaries and restrictive rulesHow to stay compassionate while still honoring your own needsThis episode is for anyone navigating ethical non monogamy, polyamory, or opening a relationship and feeling stuck around rules, jealousy, or control.

Dating separately is one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics in non-monogamy.For many couples, the idea of a partner dating someone without them involved brings up fear, jealousy, panic, and a deep sense of threat. So it makes sense that a lot of people try to avoid that discomfort by insisting on dating together, only pursuing triads, or creating rules that keep everything tightly controlled.In this episode, I break down why dating separately is about building autonomy, emotional maturity, and real trust rather than abandoning your partner or weakening your relationship, You'll hear why dating together often feels safer at first, how monogamous conditioning shapes those instincts, and why avoiding separate dating can actually keep couples stuck in fear-based patterns that undermine connection over time.This episode lays the foundation for understanding why autonomy matters in ethical non-monogamy, and why learning to handle discomfort is a necessary part of building sustainable, healthy relationships.If you've ever thought “dating separately feels like too much” or “we'll just do this together so it's safer,” this conversation is for you.Send us a textFLOW Nitric Oxide BoosterFLOW brings blood where you want it to go — your brain, your heart, and your pleasure zones.

In this episode, we sit down with Lady LorReign for a powerful and unfiltered conversation about overcoming adversity and how life's toughest moments shape the paths we choose as content creators. She opens up about the trials and tribulations that pushed her to redefine her life, her purpose, and her creative voice—ultimately leading her into the world of adult entertainment and content expression on her own terms.Lady LorReign dives deep into the realities of Ethical Non-Monogamy, not just as a relationship structure, but as a lived experience often judged, misunderstood, and misrepresented. With honesty and clarity, she talks about what it's like to do things differently, to challenge norms, and to build relationships in ways that honour truth, communication, and autonomy.This conversation also explores the evolving world of relationship dynamics, the complexity of personal growth, and the strength it takes to stand firm in your identity when the world expects conformity. We discuss the supportive role of Wifey Media Group, what collaboration looks like behind the scenes, and how creative communities can empower authenticity.Chapters:0:00 - Introduction to the origins of Lady LorReign2:02 - Getting into the industry and overcoming adversity from a past job position17:20 - How did Lady LorReign get started with Wifey, and the discussion on relationship dynamics 24:07 - Understanding the hot wife lifestyle and partner dynamics with communication and content creation35:33 - What does 2026 look like for Lady LorReign39:30 - What grinds the gears49:09 - Understanding live streaming content creatorsConnect With Lady LorReign:  LADY LORREIGN LINKS https://linktr.ee/ladylorreign0101Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lorreignl X (Twitter): https://x.com/Lady_LorReignOnlyFans: https://onlyfans.com/ladylorreignTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ladylorreignCONTACT ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: 1:1 CONSULTING CALL: https://calendly.com/rorymitchell-biz/15-minute-discovery-call?month=2025-02 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/officially.rory/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@officiallyroryX/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/officiallyroryHOO.BE: https://hoo.be/officiallyroryPAYPAL DONATIONS: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/rorymitch

Send us a textJoin Marc Almodovar, Founder of the Men's ADHD Support Group, and Kyrus Westcott of The Vibe with Ky as they explore what some think is a taboo subject: Ethical Non-Monogamy.But here's the thing, this isn't a talk about whether you should practice ethical non-monogamy. It's about what ENM can teach us about communication, boundaries, consent, and intentional relationship design, skills that make every relationship healthier, regardless of structure.When you can't rely on default relationship scripts, you have to talk about everything. You have to get clear on what you want, what you need, and what your boundaries actually are. That clarity? It's valuable for everyone.In this conversation, Marc and Kyrus explore:Why clear communication beats assumptions every timeHow to identify and communicate your actual needs (not just what you think you're supposed to want)The difference between agreements and expectationsWhy boundaries are about you, not controlling someone elseHow to design relationships that actually work for the people in themYou don't need to be interested in ENM to benefit from this. You don't need to agree with it. You're here to learn, not to commit to anything. Take what fits your life and leave the rest.This is a safe conversation. You're allowed to be curious. You're allowed to feel uncomfortable, excited, confused, or skeptical. All of it belongs here.Whether you're in a traditional relationship, single, or exploring other options, the relationship skills discussed apply. Because healthy relationships—of any structure—are built on the same foundation: honesty, communication, and intentional choice.If you're interested in Ky's amazing cologne check it out here -- https://sucreabeille.com/products/why-did-i-walk-into-this-roomIf you're interested in following Ky you can check out his website -- https://thevibewithky.com/Also follow him on all major platforms @vibewithky! 00:23 - Ky's Background and Achievements01:49 - Introduction to Ethical Non-Monogamy03:23 - Understanding Ethical Non-Monogamy04:56 - Ky's Personal Experience with ADHD and Relationships11:52 - Exploring Relationship Structures20:46 - Neurodivergent Traits and Ethical Non-Monogamy31:10 - Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and Jealousy39:20 - Practical Tools for Managing RSD and Jealousy41:11 - Reflecting on Fear-Based Stories in Relationships42:10 - Understanding ADHD Challenges in Relationships45:11 - Effective Tools for Managing ADHD in Relationships49:46 - Expressing Vulnerable Feelings and Needs52:32  - Open Q&A: Navigating Communication and Jealousy1:03:30 - Balancing Time and Conflict Resolution Strategies Check out our website for great blogs, information, and upcoming events!

Ever tried to think your way out of a feeling?You read the books, have the talks, highlight every chapter on jealousy and self-regulation… and your nervous system just shrugs and says, “That's cute, I'm still panicking.”This week on Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I'm getting real about the hilarious (and exhausting) ways we try to outsmart our emotions, and why logic doesn't work when your body doesn't feel safe.In this solo episode, I share my own “self-help fails,” the moment I realized you can't out-think a trauma response, and what actually does help when jealousy, anxiety, or insecurity hit hard in non-monogamous relationships.We'll talk about what it means to stop fixing and start feeling, to breathe, laugh, and build emotional safety in real time, one micro-moment at a time.What You'll LearnWhy jealousy in polyamory is a nervous system response, not a logic problem.How overthinking and self-help spirals fuel relationship anxiety in non-monogamy.The mind-body disconnect that happens during triggers in open relationships.Simple nervous system regulation tools that actually help with jealousy and insecurity.How laughter and self-compassion reduce emotional overwhelm in polyamorous dynamics.How to use body-based honesty to communicate needs and build trust with partners.Send us a textSupport the show

Ever been told that a relationship only “counts” if you stay in it forever?Yeah… hard pass.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I sit down with therapist, coach, and relationship anarchist Jessica Morgenthaler to talk about what it actually means to do relationships on purpose, not just by default.Jessica's been practicing and teaching ethical non-monogamy for over a decade, and the way she talks about relationship design will blow your mind a little (and soothe your inner overthinker a lot).We dig into:→ What it means to be a solo polyamorous relationship anarchist with a nesting partner (and how to deconstruct couple's privilege without losing connection)→ Why assumptions, not agreements, are usually what trip us up→ How a “relationship user manual” can transform communication, accountability, and self-awareness→ And why success in love isn't about forever, it's about authenticity, gratitude, and the courage to keep showing up→ We also talk about aging, community care, and how to stop outsourcing all your emotional needs to one person (spoiler: your friends deserve a spot on your living will).This conversation is funny, honest, and deeply human, the kind that leaves you breathing a little deeper and feeling less alone in how messy and beautiful relationships can be.Connect with Jessica Morgenthaler, LICSWA, CCTP-I → ICU Transformative Consulting LLC www.icutransform.orgSend us a textFLOW Nitric Oxide BoosterFLOW brings blood where you want it to go — your brain, your heart, and your pleasure zones.

A pastor preaching virtue. A mistress promised “truth.” A wife who knew nothing. And a murder that ripped the mask off a so-called “ethical non-monogamy.” In 2019, Executive Pastor Brodes Perry of Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church was shot to death inside his Tennessee apartment by Latoshia Daniels, a woman who believed she was part of a consensual “open” relationship — one the pastor insisted his wife had approved. Except… she hadn't. Now, years later, Daniels is on trial for first-degree murder and attempted murder of Perry's wife Tabatha, who survived the attack and took the stand to tell a very different story. Jurors have seen videos of Perry himself describing “ethical non-monogamy” — claiming transparency, honesty, and divine understanding — while prosecutors say those same words expose the lies that fueled the killing. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down how a pastor's moral branding turned into manipulation, how a so-called modern “ethic” became a weapon of deceit, and why this trial isn't just about one shooting — it's about the danger of self-righteous hypocrisy hiding behind the language of enlightenment. This is not about alternative lifestyles. This is about control, delusion, and the rot that grows when a man of God decides the rules no longer apply to him.

Are you polyamorous and anxious? Does your chest tighten every time your partner mentions a new crush? Are you constantly asking yourself, “Why am I feeling this way if I chose non-monogamy?” You're not broken and you're definitely not alone.In this episode of Nope!

Have you ever thought, “If my partner can't meet all my needs, maybe another partner will”? In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I break down why that belief is one of the biggest traps in polyamory and open relationships.We hear it all the time in the ENM community: “No one person can meet all your needs.” That's true, but when we take it as a free pass to collect partners to fill every emotional gap, it backfires. Instead of feeling fulfilled, we multiply our insecurities, create pressure on new relationships, and leave our existing partners feeling like they're not enough.

What happens when the affair isn't with a person… but with AI?

Most people think the toughest part of polyamory is jealousy. But according to Richie, it's actually… logistics. Yep, the calendar.After a life-changing cancer journey with his partner, Richie realized that the hardest part of opening their relationship wasn't emotions, it was managing schedules, consent, and privacy across multiple partners. With his background in software product management, he decided to do something about it, and created PYE, a scheduling and consent management app designed specifically for the polyamorous community.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, Richie and I dig into:Why scheduling is considered an “unsolvable math problem” (and why we need more self-compassion when we feel polyunsaturated).How misunderstandings about dates, boundaries, and consent are quietly breaking relationships.The creative ways poly folks use calendars as safety tools.Why color coding, structure, and intentional planning actually free us up for more intimacy and fun.Richie's vision for cutting down burnout and building more trusting, joyful relationships with better tools.If you've ever juggled multiple Google Calendars, forgotten to communicate a boundary, or lost a relationship to logistics overwhelm — this one's for you.

Hollywood made a movie about open relationships (sort of). We watched it so you don't have to!
