PLEASE Buy Me a Cup of Coffee (please & follow the show)
Lauren Hayes, a relationship coach specializing in Ethically Non-Monogamous Couples, shares her journey into the swinging lifestyle. She and her husband have been ethically non-monogamous for almost six years. They started exploring after a friend asked if they were polyamorous, sparking their curiosity. They began by reading books and discussing non-monogamy on their date nights. Their first experience was at a swinger club, where they observed but didn't engage with other couples. Over time, they became full swap swingers, participating in sexual activities with other couples. Lauren explains the differences between swinging and polyamory, emphasizing that swinging is primarily focused on sexual experiences, while polyamory involves romantic relationships. She also discusses the importance of communication, boundaries, and the formation of deep friendships within the swinging community. Lauren and her husband have shared their lifestyle with their adult children, who were accepting and understanding. In this conversation, Lauren, a swinging lifestyle coach, discusses various aspects of non-monogamy and ethical non-monogamy (ENM). She explains the differences between swinging and polyamory, the importance of communication and consent in ENM relationships, and the misconceptions surrounding non-monogamy. Lauren also addresses topics such as threesomes, hotwifing, and the use of protection in the swinging community.
