The Panic Button - When Self-Soothing Fails

Author: Mickey & Mallory October 4, 2021 Duration: 1:01:05
In any ethically non-monogamous situation, inevitably we're going to encounter a wave of emotion leftover from the decades we've all been conditioned for monogamous behavior.  Be it religion or family dynamics, living an ethically non-monogamous life often runs counter to our upbringing. That emotional wave can rapidly turn to panic and it's incumbent upon us to self-soothe...but what if you CAN'T?  What if it hits you like a truck and you don't know what to do?That doesn't happen to Casual Swinger, does it?    This week we discuss why we need to self soothe, and some tips and tricks for helping yourself cope with that first wave of butterflies before it becomes a hurricane...of razor blades.   Casual Toys - THE shop for adult lifestyle wear & entertainment items   Podcast-A-Palooza Visit Jamaica  

Forget the hushed tones and clinical jargon. Casual Swinger-A Sex Positive, Swinging Lifestyle Podcast is a frank, funny, and genuinely helpful conversation hosted by Mickey & Mallory, a couple who grew up around open relationships and now navigate them as adults. Their unique perspective, having parents who were also in the lifestyle, informs a dialogue that’s less about shock value and more about grounded, real-world experience. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with two knowledgeable friends who’ve seen it all. They tackle the practicalities and emotions of non-monogamy, from communication and boundaries to health and navigating social dynamics, all through a lens of positivity and informed choice. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a podcast built on lived-in wisdom, where questions are met with candid answers and the complexities of modern relationships are explored without judgment. You'll hear personal stories, thoughtful advice, and a refreshing normalization of alternative relationship structures, all delivered with warmth and a disarming sense of humor. Whether you're actively exploring this path or simply curious about the realities behind the stereotypes, Mickey & Mallory offer a welcoming space to listen and learn.
