• Ep 48 — We Got Married!! 👰🏼🤵🏻 Now What? Our Open-Life Debate Gets Real
    Nov 12 2025

    Come for the vows, stay for the vibes 💍🔥

    Fresh off our festival-themed specatacle of a wedding (let's just say it got a little crazy 😜), we get real about what married life looks like for two people who want slightly different things from an open lifestyle. This one’s candid, tender, and a little spicy—as we do.

    In this episode:

    • 💫 Wedding recap: festival-formal fits, our first marital disagreement (in the form of a DJ battle), roller skates, and a sky that cleared just for us
    • 🔄 “Team sport” vs. “solo sparks”: navigating mismatched play styles without keeping score
    • 🧠 Jealousy, communication, and growth: sitting with big feelings instead of running from them
    • 🎯 Our new ground rules(ish): less pressure, more presence, and letting experiences unfold
    • 📲 The texts to another man that re-opened a door… and how inclusion keeps trust strong.

    If you’re exploring openness as a couple (or even newlyweds!) or just trying to honor two truths in one relationship—this convo is your permission slip to be honest, messy, and loving at the same time. 🖤 Enjoy!

    With love,

    Anna & Aiden 💕

  • Episode 46 — Anna Finally Gets Her Solo Date 👫: What Happens When Fantasy Becomes Reality
    Aug 26 2025

    In this milestone episode, we dive into a story that’s equal parts unexpected, vulnerable, and thrilling. Solo dates have always fascinated (and unsettled) us — the idea of stepping into new experiences alone, with all the possibilities and what-ifs. For Anna, that curiosity became very real during a recent work trip.

    What started as a simple evening away turned into an unforgettable adventure: an intriguing doctor, a flirtatious dinner, and a set of circumstances neither of us saw coming. In real time, we share the emotions, the anxieties, and the excitement of what happens when trust is tested — and when desire sparks in new ways.

    Join us for the full play-by-play: the lead-up, the encounter, and the raw reflections afterward. This episode is packed with honesty, vulnerability, and the sexy tension that comes when love and adventure collide.

    Tune in to hear how one solo date deepened our connection, challenged our comfort zones, and left us closer than ever. 💬❤️

    With love,

    Anna & Aiden 💕

  • 🎙️ Episode 45: Results From Our Listener Dating Experiment! Plus, The Politics of Desire
    Aug 21 2025

    We’re back, loves — and this one is packed. 💌 After taking a little break, we return with stories, lessons, and laughter from our latest adventures in love, dating, and the lifestyle.

    In our last episode, we made a bold offer: what if we could actually date you, our listeners? We thought it was a genius hack — bypass the apps, cut through the noise, and connect with amazing people who already know our vibe. Here we reveal what happened when we put ourselves out there…This foolishness taught us more than we expected about connection, vulnerability, and how sometimes it's big leap for people to really put themselves out there.

    Also, Superman nd Wonderwoman are back in our orbit — and things get complicated. From a surprise drink night out to political dealbreakers (yes, politics can be a major cockblock), we found ourselves balancing values and desire in ways we didn’t see coming. What started as a simple meetup turned into one of the hottest nights we’ve had in awhile… just not in the way we imagined. 😉

    We also take you inside an epic party that brought together our overlapping worlds — burners, ravers, tantra friends, poly folks, and a swirl of open-minded humans in one gorgeous mansion with DJs, fire dancers, cuddle piles, and secret playrooms. We share what went down, the surprises that came our way, and how being “fake swingers” in a mostly poly crowd taught us even more about our own preferences.

    This episode isn’t just about hookups and experiments. As usual, we dive deep into:

    • Why trust and reassurance are the true foundation of open relationships
    • How to balance individuation with partnership without losing connection
    • Why empathy (even in the lifestyle) matters as much as attraction
    • And how “hacking love” is as much about growing as a couple and individuals, as it is about finding sexy fun!

    At the heart of it all? We’re here to explore love, intimacy, and the messy, hilarious, beautiful journey of connection — with plenty of laughs along the way. 💕

    With love,

    Anna & Aiden 💕

  • Ep 44: Are We Datable? 👀 Anna & Aiden Put Themselves on the Market 😅
    Jul 24 2025

    So, we had a bit of a wild idea: What if some of you actually wanted to date us? 😳 Or at least hang out and be friends? 👫

    After 44 episodes of us sharing our amusing and often arduous journey of trying to find that elusive "unicorn" 4-way connection with a couple, we know the best connections come from friendship and shared energy, not necessarily dating apps.

    And we just realized that we have already have a massive group of potential friends out there who are listening to us all the time!

    So here's our pitch: You already know nearly everything about us. Our preferences, insecurities, sexual stuff, banter, health routines, weird jokes — you name it. 😅 Now, we’d love to meet some of you. 👀

    If you’ve ever listened and thought, “Damn, we’d totally vibe with them,” this is your chance to reach out. 💌

    We’re inviting couples to:

    📹 Make a short video together answering a few questions:

    • Are you in the lifestyle (or curious)?
    • What draws you to us / the podcast?
    • Where do you live and can you travel? ✈️
    • What hesitations and hopes do you have?

    👉 Send it to: annaaiden@gmx.com

    And, so you have some idea of what we look like, for fun we asked AI to generate an “approximate” photo of us. 🤖🧑‍🤝‍🧑 It got pretty close - we think! We’ve posted it to our Facebook group.

    Our keywords here are playful, vulnerable, and curious—less “sexy stranger hookup,” more “cool friends first, maybe more if it’s mutual.” ✨ Whether anyone bites or not, we promise to keep it fun and will respond to everyone who reaches out, We will also plan to share what happens in upcoming episodes. 🎧

    And if no one responds? Even funnier.

    So if you’re feeling curious, brave, and aligned with our vibe… we’d love to meet you. 💛

    With love, weirdness, and zero expectations,

    Anna & Aiden 💕

  • Ep. 41: The Morning After—Parties, Playrooms, and Emotional Hangovers 🎧🎉💔
    Jun 24 2025

    What happens when the party ends? We get honest about the emotional hangover that hit us both—the letdown, the exhaustion, and the questions that linger after the fun fades. We open up about navigating big play parties as a couple, asking for what we need, and the sometimes awkward reality of fitting in when you’re not quite like everyone else. 😬

    From the highs of partying and connecting our friends, to the lows of feeling left out, meh vibes, and the struggle to balance self-care with social pressure, we’re sharing it all. We get real about the weirdness of party dynamics, the complexities of open relationships, and why sometimes you just need to do your own thing, take your own car and leave when you’re ready. 🚗✨

    If you’ve ever felt out of place in a crowd, wondered how to ask for what you want, or struggled with the morning after a big night out—this episode is for you. Join us for honest talk, laughter, and a reminder that even in the wildest spaces, it’s okay to just be yourself. 💕
