QUICKIE: Mental Health & The Lifestyle

Mental Health & The Lifestyle: Depression, Anxiety, Jealousy & the Parts Nobody Talks About

In this week's Beyond Monogamy Wednesday QUICKIE, Adam & Pris crack open a conversation most lifestyle folks avoid: mental health. From depression that hides behind humor, to feeling unwanted in LS spaces, to the pressure of always "being on" because of content creation, this episode gets raw, honest, and deeply needed.

Adam opens up about a form of depression that doesn't look like the stereotypical "can't get out of bed" kind — it looks more like working nonstop, smiling through the storm, and masking with jokes. Pris shares the emotional weight of their poly years, what she kept inside, how depression silently grew, and how finally being honest helped her breathe again.

Together, they break down the emotional side of non-monogamy that impacts self-worth, jealousy, compersion, body image, performance anxiety, rejection, and confidence in the lifestyle. If you've ever felt overwhelmed in the lifestyle… if you've ever questioned your worth… if you've ever smiled on the outside while drowning inside… this one's for you.

💬 Episode Focus: Mental Health & The Lifestyle

In this candid, heartfelt QUICKIE, Adam & Pris dive into the mental and emotional side of ethical non-monogamy and swinging:

  • Why mental health struggles are common but rarely talked about in the lifestyle
  • What happens when one partner is "more into it" than the other, and depression quietly builds under the surface
  • The emotional weight of their poly years and what hiding feelings did to Pris's mental health
  • The heavy feeling of not feeling wanted or noticed at lifestyle events and clubs
  • How the lifestyle can sometimes feel like high school all over again — cliques, comparison, and insecurity
  • How rejection and "you're not my type" moments hit self-esteem and confidence
  • The pressure of being "on" all the time when you're known for your podcast and content
  • Adam's personal experience with depression that hides behind humor, productivity, and obsession with work
  • Why communication is absolutely crucial when jealousy, compersion, and insecurity show up
  • How mental health and sexual health are deeply connected — and why it's hard to perform when your brain is overloaded
  • Why it's okay (and healthy) to pause, reset, or step back from the lifestyle when life starts "lifing"

The main takeaway? Protect your peace as much as you protect your parts. The lifestyle can be fun as hell, but only if your mind is in a good place while you're living it.

The Lifestyle Is for Everyone: Inclusivity & Texas Desires Hotel Takeover

The Lifestyle Is for Everyone: Inclusivity & Texas Desires Hotel Takeover

Episode Summary

This episode opens with a listener voicemail from a lesbian couple asking how they fit into the lifestyle—so we break down inclusive, real-world guidance for same-sex couples navigating LS spaces, boundaries, and community. Then we sit down with Texas Desires to preview their Naughty & Nice Hotel Takeover in San Antonio, Dec 5–6, where we'll be recording a live Beyond Monogamy podcast.

Expect a true full-property buyout (not just a "top-floor party"), flat $500 room rate (king for 2 or double-queen for up to 4), BYOB, and upgraded breakfast included—no hidden fees. To reserve, email Loyd@rbhacc.com (one "L").

Listener Voicemail: "How do lesbian couples fit into the lifestyle?"

  • We discuss why many events historically skew toward the straight-male / bi-female dynamic and how to navigate that as a same-sex couple—focusing on mentorship, clear boundaries, and finding welcoming communities.
  • Practical tips: look for friendly faces, build your table if no one pulls out a chair, and use lighthearted icebreakers to meet people.

Texas Desires: Naughty & Nice Hotel Takeover (San Antonio • Dec 5–6)

  • Dates/Location: Dec 5–6 in San Antonio (exact hotel released the week of for attendee safety).
  • True hotel buyout: Texas Desires rents the entire hotel for the weekend, creating a cohesive, clothing-optional vibe within legal rules.
  • Pricing (flat, no add-ons): $500 per room; up to 4 people in a double-queen, 2 people in a king. Organizer covers credit card fees, hotel taxes, security, and DJ.
  • Food & Drinks: BYOB; breakfast included and upgraded; food trucks on site (purchase your own food).
  • Rules & Comfort: Clothing required in food-service areas; full itinerary coming soon. Ladies—bring comfy shoes!
  • How to Reserve: Email Loyd@rbhacc.com (one "L"). Rooms still available—don't lose your spot!

Why This Takeover's Different

Texas Desires designs a true weekend escape—an all-inclusive, full-property experience for the lifestyle community, not a scattered, mixed-public hotel setup. It's an event where connection, comfort, and freedom meet.

Inside the Mind of Adam: Love, Chaos & Building a Beyond-Monogamy Marriage

Inside the Mind of Adam: Love, Chaos & Building a Beyond-Monogamy Marriage

Episode Type: QUICKIE
Show: Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris

What keeps a man grounded when life, love, and the lifestyle all collide? In this fun, raw, and real QUICKIE, Pris flips the mic on her husband and co-host, Adam, to dig deep into how he balances it all: a fiery wife, a busy podcast, family life, and the ups and downs of non-monogamy.

From jealousy and communication struggles to menopause, ADHD, finances, and the messy moments in marriage, Adam gets vulnerable about what it really takes to stay connected, keep the peace, and grow stronger together. If you've ever wondered what makes a relationship survive the chaos of real life and the lifestyle, this one's for you.

They talk teamwork, love languages, reconnection rituals, emotional self-awareness, and why "meet in the middle" might be the ultimate relationship cheat code. You'll laugh, relate, and maybe even tear up as Adam shares the heart behind the brand — and why this podcast is so much more than stories and sex talk.

☕ Grab your coffee, your partner, or your favorite toy — this episode is real-life love in the raw.

In This Episode

  • How Adam stays balanced through love, chaos, and menopause
  • The truth about communication and emotional reconnection in long-term relationships
  • Jealousy vs. security in non-monogamy and the lifestyle
  • How teamwork and "meeting in the middle" matter more than chemistry alone
  • Reconnecting after lifestyle events: coffee, food, and real conversations
  • Real talk about finances, stress, and why relationships matter more than money
  • How Beyond Monogamy became a growing community for couples and the curious
  • Adam's passion for turning this podcast into a lifelong mission for both of them

Top Takeaways

  • Communication beats competition. If you're trying to "win" an argument, you both lose.
  • Meet in the middle. Love isn't always 50/50 — it's about showing up as a team.
  • Hormones are real. Menopause, cycles, mental health and hormones affect communication and reactions for both partners.
  • Appreciation matters. Small acts of service, physical affection, and words of gratitude stack up over time.
  • Reconnection is a ritual. Post-event coffee dates, debriefs, and honest talks keep you grounded and close.
  • Remember your priorities. Money, jobs, and outside stress come and go — your partner, kids, and core relationships are the real foundation.
  • Honesty over perfection. It's okay to admit when you're struggling, shutting down, or needing space — as long as you communicate it.
