Show notes

Have you ever thought of diving into "the lifestyle" with your partner? What does that even mean? In this weeks episode, Sam and Paddy sit-down with a couple who identify as a couple who are into the "lifestyle" or more commonly referred to as swingers. This episode is packed full of hilarious and informative content that everyone will enjoy.

Horatio and Rita Stema are a muture couple, 2nd marriage for 13yrs. Met on line. For 12 years have been openly monogamous, play with others but always together. We know the who and what of the lifestyle. Nude beaches, clothing optional resorts. Wrote MPIAD just after #meetoo started. Want to show that all men are the same, getting an erection isn't evil, it's normal. It's what you do with that erection that defines you. We all get hungry, if I steal your food I"m an ass, if I get my own it's fine. Life is about letting all consenting people do what they want.
