Ep 19: A Swinger Scale: Tens and Twos; Rating, Debating & Taking One for the Team

In this candid and laugh-filled episode, hosts Zack, Josie, Brad, and Brittany dive into one of the more infamous phrases in the lifestyle world: 'Ten and Two,' commonly used to describe couples with a significant gap in perceived attractiveness. Your Two Plus Two crew unpacks the term with honesty, humor, and a healthy dose of self-awareness.

They explore the subjective nature of these so-called 'ratings,' acknowledging that everyone’s scale is different—and that beauty (and sexual chemistry) is subjective. The discussion then shifts to the more complex and sometimes divisive concept of 'taking one for the team.' With honesty and differing perspectives, your hosts engage in a thoughtful debate about the dynamics and emotional realities behind the decision to play—especially when attraction isn’t mutual on both sides.
