What if the key to greater pleasure, connection, and fulfillment is understanding your unique erotic wiring? In this episode, we explore the Erotic Blueprints™, a framework developed by somatic sexologist Jaiya that helps explain the different ways people experience desire, arousal, and intimacy. We unpack the five Erotic Blueprints—Energetic, Sensual, Sexual, Kinky, and Shapeshifter—and explore how each type experiences pleasure differently. We also share how this framework has become a valuable tool for relationships and individuals. Time and again, we've watched people experience powerful "aha" moments as they discover why certain experiences excite them, why others don't, and where misunderstandings with partners may be coming from. Understanding your blueprint can remove shame, increase self-awareness, and provide a new language for discussing desire, boundaries, and pleasure. We also share our own blueprint profiles and discuss how different types can learn to better understand and connect with one another. Finally, we explore how Erotic Blueprints can enrich experiences within ethical non-monogamy and the lifestyle. The goal isn't to put yourself in a box, but to better understand your erotic "home" while remaining curious about other ways of experiencing pleasure. By learning each other's unique wiring, couples can expand their erotic vocabulary, deepen connection, and create more meaningful experiences together.

So you made the transition to non-monogamy… but you ended up feeling like you're living two separate parallel lives in different relationships. This might not seem like that big a deal from the outside, but in many cases, having a siloed relational life can cause profound suffering.This isn't just about having different relationships with different people (that's normal and healthy, whether you're monogamous or not!). It's about psychological fragmentation that can lead to broken commitments, memory gaps, and a sense of wrongness you can't seem to shake.I call this bifurcated monogamy—a phenomenon where people unconsciously split their relational world into separate, incompatible realities. If you've ever struggled with time management between partners, found yourself unable to remember important details, or felt completely broken when two partners are in the same room together, this episode will help you understand what's happening and what you can do about it.In this episode, we talk about:— What bifurcated monogamy actually is and how it differs from healthy parallel polyamory— Psychological splitting and how it shows up in non-monogamous relationships— The difference between holding multiplicity as your whole self versus fragmenting into separate selves— Red flags to watch for: time blindness, memory gaps, mutually exclusive commitments, and feeling "broken" when partners are together— How internalized polyphobia fuels the unconscious need to split our relational worlds— The role of mono-normative conditioning and why we have to keep "squeegeeing our souls" of these projections— Ken's personal experiences with this phenomenon across romantic relationships, co-parenting dynamics, and even professional contexts— Why privacy needs versus transparency needs can create impossible situations without awareness— The protective mechanism behind splitting and why it makes sense (even though it doesn't actually protect us)— Practical tools for addressing bifurcation— Why this is something to bring to therapy or coaching rather than trying to white-knuckle your way through— How to know if you've created relational situations that genuinely cannot coexist versus situations that need better integrationResources mentioned in this episode:— Our episode on transition management— Learn more about relationship agreementsJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

In Part 2 of this bold and unfiltered conversation, Eve welcomes back Cidney Green for a deep dive into kink exploration, fetish psychology, ethical non-monogamy, BDSM, fantasy versus reality, communication, consent, and sexuality. Cidney Green, creator of the viral “Pussy Over Pain” movement and author of All 3 In Me, shares raw insights on phone sex, fetish stigma, healing through BDSM, open relationships, jealousy, threesomes, and the role of honest communication in creating healthy, fulfilling intimate relationships. One of the most powerful moments in this episode is a role-play in which Eve and Cidney demonstrate how a couple might navigate a conversation about ethical non-monogamy and the possibility of inviting a third person into their relationship or bedroom. Through this realistic example, they model healthy communication, curiosity, boundary-setting, consent, emotional safety, and how to discuss fantasies without judgment. Rather than promoting any particular relationship structure, the conversation highlights that consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, and threesomes can be approached ethically when all parties communicate openly and enthusiastically consent. In this episode, you'll learn about: • BDSM and fetish exploration• Fetish psychology and kink stigma• Ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, and polyamory• How to talk to your partner about a threesome• Introducing a third partner into a relationship• Relationship communication and emotional safety• Consent, boundaries, and negotiation skills• Sexual empowerment and pleasure• Women's pleasure and orgasm equality• Fantasy versus reality in sexuality• Healing, growth, and self-discovery through intimacy If you're interested in sex education, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, threesomes, kink, BDSM, relationship communication, sexual wellness, consent, body positivity, and authentic conversations about pleasure, this episode is for you.

Dana and Daniel built a viral comedy series out of their real polyamorous relationship — and the result is funnier, messier, and more honest than most people expect. On this episode, Natalie and Christopher sit down with the duo behind The Poly Couple to talk about what actually happens when you turn your love life into content: the boundaries that hold it together, the jealousy that has to be worked through (not avoided), and the friendship that makes the whole thing possible. This isn't a polyamory 101 lecture. It's a real conversation about communication under pressure, what ethical non-monogamy looks like day-to-day, and why authenticity — on camera and off — is the only thing that actually works. In this episode: The evolution of their web series inspired by true events and their journey into filmmaking What polyamory truly means: loving more than one person in diverse ways The importance of communication, trust, and boundaries in ethical non-monogamy How to introduce poly concepts to a partner and navigate difficult conversations The role of jealousy: a natural indicator of care and trust issues Personal boundaries, including scheduling and respectful communication The humorous side of poly life: clips from their series and real-life anecdotes The ongoing challenges and lessons learned in maintaining multiple relationships How their long-term friendship and collaboration strengthen their relationship storytelling The significance of authenticity and emotional truth in their content creation Timestamps:  00:00 - Welcome and episode overview: Exploring humor and honesty in polyamory 00:21 - Introducing Dana and Daniel, creators of a viral poly series 03:42 - What is polyamory?

What does the future of love actually look like? Not the version we inherited, like the relationship escalator, the fairytale, the prince who saves you, the outdated rules about who texts first and who pays. But love as it's really evolving: in a world of dating apps, hot-take profiles, AI technology, and a communication crisis that's reshaping how we connect. In Episode 9 of Real Love Ready, Robin sits down with Damona Hoffman, a relationship futurist, dating coach, and love expert on The Drew Barrymore Show. She's the author of F the Fairy Tale, host of the award-winning Dates & Mates podcast, and has spent nearly two decades advising the world's biggest dating apps behind the scenes. Together they unpack how dating has changed, why intentionality matters more than volume, what AI is doing to the way we relate, and how we get to write our own love stories instead of the ones we were handed. Whether you're single, married, divorced, or somewhere in between, you'll walk away with real, practical ways to bring more love into your life, by being more intentional, more honest, and more loving.

Fear, jealousy, and insecurity are some of the most common struggles couples face in the lifestyle, swinging, open relationships, and ethical non-monogamy. But what should you actually do when those feelings show up?In this episode of The Naughty Gym Show, April and Scott talk about the normal fears that come up in the lifestyle, including body comparison, fear of being replaced, anxiety around texting, repeat partners, kissing, solo dates, separate-room play, and the stories our brains create when we feel triggered.Most couples respond to fear by creating a new rule. Sometimes that can be helpful. Temporary agreements can act as scaffolding while trust and emotional capacity are being built. But when rules become the permanent solution, they can quietly turn into a cage.Scott and April introduce two practical frameworks from their upcoming Wild Love Theory workbook:The R.U.L.E. Pattern React to the TriggerUnpack the PainLimit the BehaviorEnforce the RuleThis is the common path couples take when fear shows up.The F.R.E.E. Framework Find the Real FearReexamine the StoryExpress the Need Without ControlExpand CapacityThis is a healthier way to process jealousy and insecurity without immediately turning fear into restriction.They also share personal examples from their own non-monogamous journey, including how insecurity can be connected to body image, relationship load, disconnection, old wounds, overwhelm, and feeling undesirable or unchosen.This episode is for anyone in the lifestyle, curious about ethical non-monogamy, or trying to understand how to deal with jealousy, rules, boundaries, insecurity, and fear without making each other smaller.The goal is not to build enough rules that nobody ever gets scared. The goal is to build enough capacity that fear no longer has to run the relationship.Learn more about our events, community, retreats, podcast, and upcoming book at NaughtyGym.com.Investor Info:scott@wandervest.worldNaughty Gym Info:Naughty Gym Website- www.naughtygym.comNaughty Gym Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/cw/NaughtyGymOur Upcoming Events:1.

Episode 211 - Male POV - The Cringy talk - In this episode of the Kinky Frame of Mind podcast the guys are back in the studio. We catch up with the guys about things that have been going on. Then we hit this weeks topic, words or phrases in the lifestyle that make you cringe. So the guys list a few and talk about why they make them cringe

Chances are, if you know one thing about conscious relating, it's that communication is key. And if you're good at communicating in monogamous relationships, you might think that those skills will easily transfer to polyamory. But even when you're doing non-monogamy, there's often a set of invisible monogamous scripts making things a lot harder without you even realizing it.This isn't easy to spot, let alone navigate. When we leave monogamy, we leave behind all those default cultural scripts that (supposedly!) give us shared baseline understandings of what is normal and reasonable to expect in relationships. Except… often we haven't actually left them behind. And constantly questioning whether or not these unspoken assumptions and cognitive shortcuts are running in the background of your communication can be exhausting. So if you're finding communication in non-monogamy to be tiring and difficult for reasons you can't easily identify, this one is for you.In this episode, we talk about:— Why many people who consider themselves "great communicators" struggle when they start doing non-monogamy— The invisible ways we rely on cultural scripts and shortcuts to make communication easier— How the brain conserves energy through defaults, and what happens when we step outside those defaults— The difference between implicit and explicit communication styles, and why mismatches can cause real pain— Why one partner might find all the processing nourishing while the other finds it exhausting— The myth that relationships should be "just fun" and why that can lead to avoiding necessary communication— How to reframe difficult conversations as part of the relationship rather than obstacles to it— Building capacity for hard conversations over time (it's like going to the gym!)— The power of using structured tools like Imago Dialogue and the apology and accountability ladder— Why preparing for conversations isn't unromantic—it's actually deeply caring— The role of regular check-ins in creating space for thoughtful, prepared communication— How new partners and metamours shift the entire relational field, even when you're not directly relating to them— Learning to tolerate that you won't know everything happening in your relational network— Growing your capacity to trust your partners' autonomy and their other relationships— Why transparency and privacy needs often conflict, and how to navigate that tension— The reality that we can't fully leave the monogamous script when it's embedded in everything around usResources mentioned in this episode:— Our Repair Skills Playlist— Episode 245: Check-Ins That Actually Work— Episode 243: Making Decisions TogetherJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

A lot of people are curious about non-monogamy. But there's a big difference between liking the idea of it and knowing whether it genuinely fits your emotional needs, attachment style, and relationship temperament. So how do you know if non-monogamy is right for you? That's what we're exploring in this episode. I am joined once again by Kate Loree, LMFT, a sex-positive psychotherapist, author, and speaker specializing in trauma, relationships, sexuality, and non-traditional relationship structures. She is the author of Open Deeply: A Guide to Building Conscious, Compassionate Open Relationships. She also co-hosts the Open Deeply podcast with Sunny Megatron. Some of the specific topics we explore include: How can you tell whether you genuinely want non-monogamy or simply like the idea of it? What are signs you may be overriding yourself to make non-monogamy work? How can you assess whether non-monogamy is a good fit for you? How can you safely and honestly explore the relationship style that fits you best? Learn more about Kate’s work by visiting her website. Got a sex question?

Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with Zach and Sally Maxwell, relationship thought leaders, executive coaches, and co-founders of The Art of Conscious Love, for a conversation that will change how you think about romance. Together since they were 18, the Maxwells have built a modern relationship framework around a radical premise: love is not something you fall into. It's something you practice. They walk through their eight-pillar approach to conscious relationships covering personal accountability, inner narratives, transparency, desire, conflict resolution, and the art of consciously designing your own monogamy. A masterclass in what it actually takes to make love last. https://www.max-wellcoaching.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sally-swallow-maxwell/ sally@max-wellcoaching.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People often think successful non-monogamy comes down to communication, boundaries, and relationship agreements. But underneath those conversations are deeper psychological dynamics involving attachment, emotional safety, and nervous system regulation. In today's episode, we're exploring what it means to approach consensual non-monogamy through a trauma-informed lens. My guest is Kate Loree, LMFT, a sex-positive psychotherapist, author, and speaker specializing in trauma, relationships, sexuality, and non-traditional relationship structures. She is the author of Open Deeply: A Guide to Building Conscious, Compassionate Open Relationships. She also co-hosts the Open Deeply podcast with Sunny Megatron. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What does “trauma-informed non-monogamy” actually mean? What are signs someone may be consenting without truly feeling grounded internally? How can somatic tracking help us better understand our intuitions? How can jealousy be reframed as a source of curiosity rather than anxiety? How can people assess whether they're emotionally ready for consensual non-monogamy?

Rachel Rampage joins the show this week and this episode is absolute chaos from the jump. After leaving the adult industry back in 2016 and spending the last decade in a relationship, Rachel is officially back in the game — and fully embracing her wild side all over again. We get into her return to porn, exploring submission after years of domination, gangbang fantasies, DP, fake kidnapping roleplay, and the important question of where she prefers the cumshot.We also talk about her background as a dominatrix, stripping, insane strip club stories, and why she says she wants to get “dicked down” as much as humanly possible. Oh — and somehow her and her tits ended up as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This one is funny, wild, horny, and completely out of control in the best possible way.Welcome to EP 227: "The Return Of Rachel Rampage" with Rachel Rampage.Watch the video version of the show on YouTube YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIuCkOl_XummXVdu1t3XOuQFollow Rachel RampageInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealrachelrampage (@therealrachelrampage) Follow the showInstagram: https://instagram.com/sexparty.fm (@sexparty.fm)Twitter: https://twitter.com/sexpartyfm (@sexpartyfm)Follow Dustin Instagram: https://instagram.com/dustin.rybka (@dustin.rybka)Twitter: https://twitter.com/dustinrybka (@dustinrybka)Sex Party with Dustin Rybka

Australian Adult Creator Nova Hawthorne joins the show this week and Episode 226 becomes pure wet and messy chaos in the best way possible. We get into sploshing, looning, drinking piss, slime-covered sex parties, and some corners of the internet I genuinely didn't know existed before this conversation.Nova also talks about going from stripping to mainstream porn, building her world on OnlyFans, Fansly, and Jerkmate, and how ending a relationship opened the door to working with men on camera for the first time. We also get into religion (boooo) and sex positivity, barely missing each other at AVN, and of course, some absolutely insane strip club stories. This one is hilarious, unhinged, weirdly educational, and a total blast from start to finish. Roll out your tarp and enjoy EP 226: "Horny Utopia" with Nova Hawthorne.Watch the video version of the show on YouTube YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIuCkOl_XummXVdu1t3XOuQFollow Nova HawthorneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nova_hawthorne (@nova_hawthorne) Follow the showInstagram: https://instagram.com/sexparty.fm (@sexparty.fm)Twitter: https://twitter.com/sexpartyfm (@sexpartyfm)Follow Dustin Instagram: https://instagram.com/dustin.rybka (@dustin.rybka)Twitter: https://twitter.com/dustinrybka (@dustinrybka)Sex Party with Dustin Rybka

This is a replay to get the video version of the episode onto podcast apps that previously only had the audio version. Season 6, Episode 746: From Threesomes to Non-Monogamy: One Man's Journey Beyond Jealousy and Shame with author Adam Darrow about his edgy, honest, and raw memoir "Seek the Risk" (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3KrboVR This was an enlightening conversation and one many should listen to. Expanding our boundaries may seem difficult, and it doesn't pan out for everyone, but either way, valuble lessons are learned about oneself, one's limitations become clearer when faced with new challenges, and what we are willing to do for love becomes obvious. A question to ask yourself, well, more than one, what cultural shame is holding you back? Why should we allow culture to decide what is acceptable and what isn't? Would you ever stare normalcy in the face and give it the finger and do what you want? Even if it cost you relationships? Can you withstand the heat of a cultural assault from a judgmental mob of societal norm enforcers? (even if they are your friends and family?) Or would you just stand up tall, point your chin up, and say FU and just do it? When Adam Darrow met Jane at forty, he thought he was the adventurous one. After all, he'd spent his twenties competing in extreme sports and had explored threesomes—that made him pretty edgy, right? Then Jane, a PhD psychologist who spoke five languages, told him she didn't do boyfriends (and she meant it). Drawing from his background in extreme sports, Darrow spent two and a half years transitioning into non-monogamy, followed by three challenging years of emotional work before finding equilibrium. The journey wasn't easy. He didn't think he could do it. When his partner Jane publicly announced their arrangement on Facebook in 2009, Darrow watched his life wildly transform. His best friend called him derogatory names. But over time, he discovered something unexpected: jealousy could be channeled into motivation to become a better partner. What initially felt emasculating became an opportunity to overcome deep-seated insecurities like imposter syndrome and validation-seeking. His memoir chronicles this transformative experience through vulnerable storytelling that includes explicit extreme sexual details and uncomfortable emotional truths, as well as healing and growth. How did keeping emotions bottled up nearly break him? The book explores that question while advocating for moving beyond societal shame around sexuality, relationship conformity, and focusing on personal authenticity rather than rigid beliefs about relationships.

Queen Chloe is a dominant livestream powerhouse with a fanbase that hangs on her every word. She breaks down how she built that intense connection with her audience, what her “dom game” looks like on stream, and why her style of control hits so hard in real time.Then it goes off the rails: party stories with her boyfriend that always turn into a full cuck power fantasy, the pay-to-activate toy tech that makes streams feel dangerously real, a foot-fetish party that's wilder than you'd expect, and a “napping” moment you truly have to hear to understand. We close with the big question — will she ever go mainstream?

Yes, we're part of a new lifestyle resort project in Florida, and in this episode we bring on Jimmy Thorpe to talk about the vision, the opportunity, and what could become one of the most exciting lifestyle destinations in the United States.But the real story is bigger than the property.This conversation is about where non monogamy is headed. For a long time, a lot of lifestyle spaces have been built around the same basic formula: drinks, DJs, sex, and weekend parties. And while there is absolutely a place for that, we believe the community is ready for something more.We talk about creating spaces where non monogamy is not just about who you play with, but how deeply you connect, how freely you show up, and how much room there is for people to grow. That means better events, more thoughtful programming, wellness, education, community, inclusivity, and a culture where people can enjoy the atmosphere without pressure.In the second half of the episode, we dig into a question every non monogamous person and couple should ask:Why are we actually doing this?Our answer has changed a lot over the years. What started as something much more sex focused has become about connection, authenticity, freedom, and building a life where we do not have to edit ourselves down to stay accepted.So yes, this episode is about a resort.But it is really about the future of non monogamy, and what it might look like to build spaces that are strong enough to hold more freedom, more honesty, and more human connection.Investor Info:scott@wandervest.worldLink to Investor Webinar:https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/T7g1aIDNR2iSpykqZV8kLQNaughty Gym Info:Naughty Gym Website- www.naughtygym.comNaughty Gym Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/cw/NaughtyGymOur Upcoming Events:1.

Betrayal in non-monogamy can feel uniquely isolating. When you've already moved away from the traditional guardrails of monogamy—where exclusivity = safety and infidelity is the clear line of betrayal—what happens when trust is shattered? How do you even know what counts as betrayal when you don't have those conventional frameworks to lean on?This episode picks up where our (amazing!) conversation with Eve Rickert left off. We're moving beyond understanding betrayal to exploring what comes next: How do we actually repair? And here's the thing—repair isn't about returning to some wholesome "before time." It's about transformation. It's about building something entirely new while sitting with the reality that you can never unknow what happened.If you've experienced betrayal in your non-monogamous relationship (or caused it), if you're wondering whether repair is even possible, or if you're struggling with the question "do I even get to have expectations?"—this episode is essential listening. We draw on our own experiences of navigating profound harm and the years-long repair process that followed.In this episode, we talk about:— Why betrayal recovery requires entering a liminal space with no guaranteed timeline or outcome— The difference between repair and just "toughening up" until you don't feel anything anymore— How to reclaim agency when betrayal has left you questioning your reality and your relationship— The interior work required for the person who caused harm (spoiler: it's not just about apologizing)— Why the person who was betrayed gets to define their experience, and what that means for repair— The critical importance of not rushing through the pain—for both the betrayed and the betrayer— How to identify which "part" of you took actions that caused harm, and why that matters— The practice of listening without defending when your partner describes how you've hurt them— Why suppressing betrayal (the "beach ball effect") will cause it to pop up sideways in other areas of your relationship— The role of grief in betrayal—not just sadness, but rage, shame, and the loss of who you thought your partner was— How agreements are "expectations made visible" and why shared meaning matters more than shared values— Why betrayal repair often requires changing activities and expectations during the recovery period— The difference between forgiveness-seeking and negotiation, and how desire smuggling strips away agency— How repair becomes a load-bearing beam in your relationship rather than a fracturing forceResources mentioned in this episode:— 241 Betrayal & Non-Monogamy with Eve RickertGet the support you NEED to have the open relationship you WANT in my year-long group program, The Year of Opening®Learn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

Trinity Infinity pulls up with pure brat-dom energy — the kind that makes people behave. She breaks down the psychology behind being a dom, who she likes to control, what she uses, and the rare moments she'll actually flip the script and go submissive. It's filthy, funny, and way more intimate than you're expecting.We also get into AVN: fan encounters, who she secretly fangirled over, and what it's really like moving through a convention as a creator everyone wants a piece of. Then she takes us into the deep end — her most unhinged toy, the requests her fans can't stop asking for, and the wild world of bi encouragement content (and why it works so well). Trinity's story is also real as hell: sex work didn't just change her life — it helped her break out of generational poverty. And yes, we finish with the only debate that matters: Star Trek vs. Star Wars.Feed your fish, crank the volume, and enjoy EP 223: "In The Pink" with Trinity Infinity.Watch the video version of the show on YouTubeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIuCkOl_XummXVdu1t3XOuQFollow Trinity InfinityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/trinfinity69 (@trinfinity69)Follow the showInstagram: https://instagram.com/sexparty.fm (@sexparty.fm)Twitter: https://twitter.com/sexpartyfm (@sexpartyfm)Follow Dustin Instagram: https://instagram.com/dustin.rybka (@dustin.rybka)Twitter: https://twitter.com/dustinrybka (@dustinrybka)Sex Party with Dustin Rybka

Thinking about opening your relationship—but already feeling tension, anxiety, or uncertainty?You're not alone.For many couples, conversations about non-monogamy or open relationships quickly become overwhelming. One partner may feel excited and ready to explore, while the other feels hesitant, worried, or emotionally unsafe.In this episode, I break down why that happens—and how to approach non-monogamy in a way that actually supports your relationship instead of destabilizing it.Because the truth is:

Supreme Court Case on Religious Liberty: Sean and Scott discuss a new case involving Catholic preschools in Colorado that were denied public funding for refusing to enroll children from LGBTQ families. The debate centers on whether the state can mandate non-discrimination policies for faith-based organizations receiving public funds.The Ethics of Monogamy and Infidelity: Despite a near-unanimous American disapproval of infidelity, the hosts analyze a recent article questioning if it is time to move beyond traditional monogamy. They explore the rise of "consensual non-monogamy" and how individualistic cultural tendencies are shifting moral perspectives on relationships.Developing Virtuous AI Models: The team examines an article discussing a new AI model from Anthropic that incorporates religious and philosophical principles to create a "virtuous" chatbot. They question the effectiveness of using technology to simulate wisdom and the theological implications of "religious" machines.Policy Shifts on Psychedelics: A discussion regarding an executive order loosening restrictions on psychedelics explores the potential medical benefits and moral risks of these substances. The hosts weigh the clinical applications of such drugs against the biblical call for sobriety and sound-mindedness.Audience Question: AI Actors and Necromancy: In response to an audience question on using AI to represent deceased actors, the hosts discuss whether this technology crosses a line into digital necromancy. They explore the ethical boundaries of interacting with simulations of the dead versus using them as creative tools.Audience Question: AI as Tools vs. Beings: The team addresses whether AI models should be viewed strictly as machines or if treating them like social beings compromises our understanding of personhood. They emphasize maintaining a clear distinction between human "Imago Dei" and man-made technology.Audience Question: AI in Job Interviews: Responding to employers who use AI to conduct job interviews, Scott and Sean discuss concerns about algorithmic bias and the loss of human connection. They argue that the hiring process should recognize the dignity of individuals rather than reducing them to data points.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.

Adult Megastar Lexi Luna joins Sex Party fresh off her biggest moment yet: winning AVN 2026 MILF Performer of the Year. She breaks down a decade in the industry and what it felt like sitting in the crowd, hearing her name called, and walking onstage to accept the award.Then it gets wild and surprisingly deep: the taboo step-mom roles she's known for (and whether they actually turn her on), her origin story from school teacher to porn star, and what she's up to on OnlyFans. The episode also unpacks “free use” as a genre — what it means, why it's popular, and how to understand it without getting lost in internet chaos — plus her wildest online request, her on-camera preferences, what she may be up to next, and whether she'd ever do a gangbang or a DP.Strap yourself in and enjoy EP 222: "MILF Of The Year" with Lexi Luna.Watch the video version of the show on YouTubeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIuCkOl_XummXVdu1t3XOuQFollow Lexi LunaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondlexpectations (@beyondlexpectations)Follow the showInstagram: https://instagram.com/sexparty.fm (@sexparty.fm)Twitter: https://twitter.com/sexpartyfm (@sexpartyfm)Follow Dustin Instagram: https://instagram.com/dustin.rybka (@dustin.rybka)Twitter: https://twitter.com/dustinrybka (@dustinrybka)Sex Party with Dustin Rybka

What if the relationship you are in is not fundamentally broken, yet lacks transparency? This episode delves into the complexities of navigating feelings, desires, and questions that often remain unspoken within partnerships. We explore the aftermath of infidelity and the emotional turbulence that ensues, discussing the importance of honesty and communication in fostering genuine connection. Joined by Dr. Joli Hamilton, a distinguished relationship coach, we dissect what constitutes effective relational dynamics, what leads to disarray, and the critical self-awareness required before embarking on a journey of ethical non-monogamy. This conversation is particularly pertinent for those currently dating or contemplating their own relationship structures, as we seek to illuminate the path to authenticity and fulfillment in love.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Picking Up Where We Left Off00:42 The Reality of Non-Monogamy03:15 What People Get Wrong06:28 Boundaries and Where It Breaks10:12 Jealousy and Emotional Triggers14:05 Building Trust and Doing the Work18:22 The Hard Truth Most People Avoid22:40 When It Starts to Fall Apart27:18 What She Would Do Differently31:55 Advice Before You Try This

In this episode, we explore one of the biggest questions we hear: is non-monogamy actually right for you?We break it down into three parts, first looking at the reasons you probably shouldn't open your relationship, signs you might be ready to start exploring, and finally we share what it feels like when you are ready to start exploring non-monogamy.We explore the red flags, the green lights, and the deeper questions that reveal whether opening your relationship will expand your connection or expose what's already not working.Evolving Love Links:Website | Instagram | Substack | Youtube | Retreat This is a public episode.

Non-monogamy is usually seen as something that destroys relationships.But what if, in some cases, it can actually save them?In this episode, I'm talking with a non-monogamy expert about a perspective that challenges everything most couples have been taught about love, sex, and commitment.We explore how Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) and Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) can sometimes be a more honest and sustainable way to navigate real relationship challenges—especially when it comes to mismatched libidos, unmet needs, and resentment.This isn't about telling you to open your relationship.It's about helping you think more clearly about:What you actually needWhat your partner can realistically provideAnd what options exist beyond the default model of monogamyWe also get into:Why expecting one person to meet all your needs can create pressure and disconnectionHow resentment builds when sexual needs go unmetThe difference between choosing monogamy vs defaulting into itHow people navigate open relationships, polyamory, and other forms of non-monogamyThe role of honesty, communication, and emotional security in polyamorous relationshipsWhy some couples explore swinging, swingers communities, or other forms of shared sexual experiencesThe emotional realities (not just the fantasy) of ethical non-monogamyWe also talk about the different roles partners can play—and why one person often can't be everything for you over time.Whether you're firmly monogamous, curious about ENM, or somewhere in between, this episode will give you a new lens on relationships, desire, and what it actually means to get your needs met.

Is monogamy outdated? Should we all just embrace polyamory or ethical non-monogamy? Everyone seems to have a position on this right now, and everyone has their heels dug in hard. But here's what almost nobody is willing to say: most people's position on monogamy or non-monogamy isn't a philosophy. It's a defense mechanism. In this episode, Andrew gets into the real conversation underneath all of the debate about relationship structures. We aren't naturally monogamous creatures, but that doesn't mean bouncing between casual connections gets us home either. Both sides of this debate are usually avoiding the same thing: the depth that only conscious devotion makes possible. Andrew breaks down how monogamy gets used as a control mechanism, how non-monogamy and polyamory get used as an avoidance mechanism, and why both are just different ways of staying safe from something that needs to be felt. He also takes on the myth of the "high value man" and what actually makes a man worth choosing. And then he makes the case for devotion as a crucible: not monogamy by default, not a defended position, but a conscious daily choice to go fully into one person and not let yourself off the hook. This one will make you uncomfortable. That's the point. In this episode: Why humans aren't naturally monogamous creatures, and why that doesn't mean what most people think it means The way both monogamy and non-monogamy get used to manage fear rather than face it The myth of the high value man, what it's really about, and what actually makes a man worth committing to The difference between default monogamy and conscious devotion, and why they look the same from the outside but couldn't be more different inside Devotion as a crucible: why you need the pressure, and why diffusing it keeps you shallow What actually becomes possible on the other side of doing this work Why Andrew and Dawn didn't choose this path so much as it chose them Free Resources Free guides, tools & giveaways Listen & Watch Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Work With Us All courses and offerings | Becoming a Dominant Man | Rapture | Structuring Your D/s Dynamic | Submissive Foundations Connect Instagram | Blog

Jealousy in non-monogamy doesn't always look dramatic.Sometimes it's not a big blow-up or obvious conflict. Sometimes it's the slow build.A little comparison. A little overthinking. That subtle drop in your stomach when your partner mentions someone else.And before you know it, it's affecting your mood, your communication, and the way you show up in your relationship.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I'm talking about the hidden cost of ignoring jealousy, especially in polyamory and open relationships, and why trying to “be chill” or push past your feelings usually creates more distance, not more security.We're getting into:→ why jealousy doesn't stay contained to one moment→ how ignored triggers stack over time and impact your nervous system→ the sneaky ways jealousy affects communication in polyamory→ why your reactions might feel bigger than the situation→ how to stop overthinking and start feeling more grounded→ what actually helps you work through jealousy in a healthy wayIf you've been feeling anxious in your relationship, struggling with comparison, or noticing that jealousy is quietly shaping how you show up, this episode will help you feel less alone and give you a place to start.This is for anyone navigating: → jealousy in polyamory → jealousy in open relationships → comparison in non-monogamy → relationship anxiety → fear of not being enough → feeling activated when your partner dates others

There's a very specific kind of loneliness that can happen when you're dating someone who's already partnered.The connection can be real. The feelings can be real. And still… something feels off.If you're navigating non-monogamy as a solo person, especially when you're dating someone who already has an established partner, this episode is for you.Because this dynamic can be beautiful… and also confusing, activating, and quietly painful if you don't have language for what's happening.In this episode, we're talking about: → Why you can feel deeply connected and still feel lonely → The difference between choosing this dynamic vs. settling for it → How your needs can change as you get more emotionally invested → Why early dating is still early dating (even in polyamory) → The impact of couple's privilege (and how to recognize it) → How to advocate for your needs without overcompensating → Why you have to date what's actually available… not potential → What it looks like when this dynamic is actually healthyAnd most importantly… How to stop centering couplehood as the only way to feel loved, supported, and fully met.This episode is about staying anchored in yourself, even when the connection is strong.Because you don't have to become the “cool, low-maintenance partner” to make this work.And you don't have to convince yourself that less is enough.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
