Episode 174: Orgies to Monogamy?! The Double Teamed Twins Spill the Truth - Lessons from Non-Monogamy Get ready for a juicy and unexpected twist with the Double Teamed Twins!
Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
In this follow-up to Part 1, I continue my candid conversation with licensed professional counselor and AASECT-certified sex therapist Kelvin Pace, diving even deeper into what consensual non-monogamy really looks like in practice. From swinging to polyamory to kink, we unpack the myths, labels, and lived realities behind open relationships. Kelvin explains why communication and consent—not structure—define success, and why non-monogamous relationships can often be just as loving and committed as traditional ones. We also explore the overlap between kink and CNM, how the military became part of swinging lore, and the importance of sex-positive therapy that challenges bias instead of pathologizing pleasure.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome back & why you should listen to Part 1 first00:58 – Do open marriages usually end?02:03 – Swinging vs. polyamory: orientation or play?04:25 – The many forms of consensual non-monogamy06:10 – How kink overlaps (and doesn't) with CNM08:02 – The biggest myths about non-monogamy10:10 – Therapy, bias, and the importance of consent12:05 – Parenting and openness about sexuality14:00 – Did swinging really start in the military?15:22 – Kelvin's quick-fire questions: definition, orgasm, fantasy17:00 – Where to find Kelvin Want a deeper look?

This week, Vee and Elle chat with Eden, a tantra facilitator and intimacy coach, discussing the importance of creating safe spaces for women to explore their sexuality and intimacy without the male gaze. They talk what actually happens inside femme-only temples — no boys, no judgment, just sacred play, deep connection, and maybe a little glitter lube. They unpack queerness, non-monogamy, and the power of women's spaces that feel safe and sexy. From overcoming mean-girl energy to feeling fully seen in our desires, this convo pulls back the curtain on tantra, sisterhood, and the kind of turn-on that heals.

We all experience transitions in our relationships. And, they can actually be even more frequent in non-monogamous relationships, like when our attention shifts from one partner to another, when we leave for a date, or when we return home. These seemingly small shifts in energy and attention can create surprising friction, even in the healthiest dynamics.A ton of us could use extra support around these issues. In fact, transition management is the topic that results in the most emergency sessions scheduled with Dr. Joli! That's because these moments, when handled poorly, can turn what could be positive experiences into sources of conflict and disconnection. But with some thoughtful planning and self-awareness, transitions can actually become opportunities for deeper intimacy.In this episode, we talk about:— What relationship transitions actually are (they're more than just coming and going!)— Why the "grinding" day-to-day moments can either build you up or wear you down— The importance of acknowledging your own transition style—are you a "fast shifter" or a "slow shifter"?— Why it's okay to be "high maintenance" about your transition needs (and why pretending you don't have needs only makes things worse)— How to create simple but effective transition rituals that don't have to be complicated to work— Why compromise in transition planning doesn't necessarily mean "splitting the difference"— The critical difference between reconnection and debriefing (and why mixing them can lead to problems)— How to handle the "last bit of time" before reunion, which is often the hardest part for the person at home— The unique challenges of managing transitions in long-distance relationships— Why the fear of being "too needy" can actually prevent us from creating the transition support we really needJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

In this candid and compassionate episode, hosts John and Jackie explore how couples in consensual non-monogamous relationships can navigate major fights and moments of emotional turbulence. They answer a viewer's heartfelt question about whether a serious fight means the lifestyle “isn't right” for them — and reveal why the opposite is often true. Drawing from over two decades of experience, John and Jackie explain that conflict is a normal part of any relationship, not just open ones. They share how fear, unfamiliarity, and emotional overwhelm can spark arguments — and how learning to communicate calmly and empathetically can turn those same moments into opportunities for growth and deeper connection. They also discuss how to “baby step” through difficult moments by adjusting boundaries and pacing, creating space for healing and rebuilding trust. This episode reminds viewers that consensual non-monogamy isn't simply about sexual exploration — it's about cultivating safety, self-worth, and authentic partnership through honesty and emotional awareness.

What happens when curiosity meets consciousness? In this episode, Ava and Ramone share their five-day journey at the New England Conscious Arts Festival, a transformative Tantra experience that brought together about 130 open-hearted souls—most exploring non-monogamy, self-discovery, and deep connection. From eye-gazing ceremonies to "liquid love" sessions, emotional alchemy, and even firewalking; Ava and Ramon open up about what it's like to strip away shame, lean into vulnerability, and embrace some unexpected lessons though Tantra. Ava reflects on her shift from skepticism to surrender, while Ramon shares how emotional and sensual exploration deepened his understanding of connection and consent. By the end, both walk away forever changed—and perhaps a little more open-minded than ever. #ThreeShadesOfGreyPodcast #TantraFestival #NonMonogamy #ConsciousConnection #LiquidLove #EmotionalAlchemy #OpenRelationships #TantricJourney #SexPositive #PersonalGrowth #AvaMoore #PinkyGreyman #AnthonyGreyman

Reclaiming one's body and voice is a key part of the healing journey for an abuse survivor, but can this process happen concurrent with practicing consensual non-monogamy? In this episode, Dr. Holly Richmond talks to us about how survivors can avoid potential re-traumatization and increase the chance for corrective experiences within consensual non-monogamy. Trauma survivors often learn to freeze/fawn as a way to reduce harm. These behavioral patterns can continue to stay with them as they explore non-monogamy making consent difficult to verify. In this episode, we discuss how to increase a sense of agency and pleasure while healing as consensual non-monogamy is explored.

We're Not Monogamous, I'm breaking down how to identify the default “rules” you inherited about love, sex, and partnership, and how to rewrite them so your relationships actually work for YOU.So many of us grew up believing myths like:“If you're really in love, you won't be attracted to anyone else.”“To be a good partner, you have to want everything your partner wants.”“Jealousy means love.”The problem?

FUCKED IN A GIANT MOUSE COSTUME.Jade Greene is back—and she's on an absolute RAMPAGE.Since her last visit, she's been in two gangbangs, an orgy, two glory holes, a swap, and even filmed a scene dressed as a giant mouse getting wrecked. If that doesn't make your jaw drop, wait until you hear the strip club story she drops mid-episode—it might be the most unhinged one we've had on the show to date. Jade also opens up about wanting to try DVP, her first anal scene, and breaks down the right way to choke someone during sex—safely, with intensity, and a little style.This episode is pure, filthy, sex-fueled chaos—but it's also a deep dive into sexual boundaries, fantasies, and agency from one of the most driven creators in the game.

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.
