Study Up, Together

The same resources we recommend inside Between the Sheets — the podcasts, books, and rooms where good couples learn. No judgment about where you are; only better conversations about where you’re going.

Podcasts

The richest education in this space is audio. Listen together on a drive, pause often, and talk about what you heard — what you liked, what you didn’t. Everything about this is communication.

We Gotta Thing — a long-married couple’s thoughtful, communication-first journey. The gold standard for new couples.

Front Porch Swingers — candid, funny, and practical on the social realities.

Casual Swinger — travel-heavy and resort-savvy; excellent destination episodes.

Normalizing Non-Monogamy — wide-ranging interviews across every style; useful for finding your lane.

Monogamish — explores the middle ground between monogamy and full openness.

Books

The Ethical Slut (Easton & Hardy) — the foundational text on consensual non-monogamy.

Opening Up (Tristan Taormino) — the most practical guide to designing an open relationship, boundary frameworks included.

Polysecure (Jessica Fern) — attachment science applied to non-monogamy; invaluable on jealousy and security.

Platforms

The parties, the events, the takeovers — and the secret places couples only find when they go looking together. SDC is where that world surfaces: verified couples, real calendars, doors worth knocking on.

A platform introduces you; it never vets for you. Video calls and public first meetings, always.

Your best resource, eventually, will be other couples a few steps ahead of you. Ask questions — the good ones remember being new.
