Who This Show Is For
Curious Beginners & Lifestyle Newbies
Just started researching the swinging lifestyle or ethical non-monogamy? You’re in the right place. We remember exactly what it felt like to be curious, nervous, and overwhelmed by questions. Our episodes walk you through every step, from having “the conversation” with your partner to attending your first lifestyle event.
Experienced Swingers & Lifestyle Veterans
Been in the lifestyle for years? We’re right there with you. Our content dives into the nuanced challenges experienced swingers face: managing changing desires, navigating lifestyle friendships, dealing with burnout, and continuing to grow together after years of non-monogamous exploration.
Couples Exploring Open Relationships
Whether you identify as swingers, polyamorous, or somewhere in the ethical non-monogamy spectrum, our research-backed approach to communication, consent, and relationship dynamics applies to all consensual non-monogamy styles.
Sex-Positive Enthusiasts of All Ages
From couples in their 20s exploring alternative relationships to empty-nesters in their 50s and 60s rediscovering intimacy, Swinger University welcomes all ages and relationship stages. The lifestyle is far more diverse than stereotypes suggest, and our content reflects that reality.
Singles & Unicorns
Solo explorers aren’t left out. We discuss dating as a single in the lifestyle, being a respectful and sought-after third, and navigating swinger spaces as an individual.
LGBTQ+ & Alternative Lifestyle Participants
The lifestyle community is wonderfully diverse. We discuss bisexual exploration, gender dynamics, queer perspectives in swinging, and creating inclusive spaces for all orientations and identities.

How Swinger University Serves the Lifestyle Community
Breaking Down Stigma Through Education
One of our core missions is normalizing ethical non-monogamy through honest, shame-free education. We believe that consensual adult relationships deserve respect and accurate information. By approaching swinging from an educational perspective, we help reduce stigma both within and outside the lifestyle community.
Promoting Safety & Consent Culture
Sexual health, emotional safety, and enthusiastic consent are non-negotiable priorities in our content. We regularly discuss STI prevention, testing protocols, recognizing red flags, and establishing clear boundaries—because fun should never come at the expense of safety.
Supporting Relationship Health
The swinging lifestyle can strengthen relationships when done right—and we’re committed to helping couples succeed. Our episodes on communication, jealousy management, relationship check-ins, and maintaining intimacy help couples build stronger bonds through ethical non-monogamy.
Celebrating Diversity in the Lifestyle
The lifestyle community is beautifully diverse in age, body type, race, sexual orientation, and relationship structure. We actively showcase this diversity, challenge stereotypes, and create welcoming content for all ethical non-monogamy participants.
