SUMMARY
Ever wonder what the original sexual revolution really looked like? Before there were swinger apps, lifestyle websites, or even the term "ethical non-monogamy," there were people just living it — raw, real, and unapologetic.
In this week's episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we sit down with Sam L. Feldman — author of Hookups, Hiccups, and Happenstances — to talk about what life and love looked like in the 60s and 70s when freedom was brand new, communication was everything, and consent was just starting to evolve.
From key clubs and the dawn of "no-fault" divorce to the lessons that still apply to modern swingers, Sam's stories remind us how much the world has changed — and how much it really hasn't. We talk about jealousy, connection, freedom, communication, and how couples can keep their spark alive even decades later.
This one's a fun, flirty, and eye-opening history lesson for anyone exploring non-monogamy today. Sam's humor and honesty prove that freedom without communication is just chaos wearing a smile.
