Embed Podcast
Cooper S. Beckett sat down with us to talk all things swinging. What's the difference between swinging and polyamory? Why don't the sexual sub-communities always play nicely together? What's the deal with bisexuality in the swing lifestyle? When is the right (and wrong) time for couples to explore non-monogamy? What the heck does the 2008 financial collapse have to do with non-monogamy today? We also discuss Cooper's coming out and how the current political climate has affected him as a leader in the sex-positive community.
