Back in Season 3, we brought on a guest, Zoe, who is a dear friend of Harper, to talk about being in an Ethically Non-Monogamous relationship. She educated us about terminology and common misconceptions, and shared with us that she does not identify as a “swinger” or as being part of “the lifestyle.”

Zoe's experience with ethical non-monogamy is much more about dating and building relationships together with her partner. It was a positive, affirming look on an alternate lifestyle that is much more common than most people imagine.

We learned a ton from that hour, and it is still our most-listened to episode. So we wanted to return to this topic to learn even more about this sexy side of life that most people don’t confess to being a part of outside their most inner circle.

Ivana DOES identify as a person in “the lifestyle” aka a Swinger. She is not interested in relationships of any kind right now, but hasn’t ruled out a potentially monogamous relationship in the future.

For now, she is part of the community of swingers that engage in sex parties, hotel takeovers, and open relationships, and we wanted to understand more about her experience. While this episode does discuss very adult themes, we do not discuss explicit sexual experiences. This is not meant to tittilate, it is meant to educate anyone curious about this type of lifestyle.
