MEN, STOP DOING THIS! | 3 Mistakes That Are Killing Your Non-Monogamy Game in the Lifestyle27 Oct 202600:53:47

Guys, could you be sabotaging your own chances in the lifestyle without even realizing it?

In this episode of the Naughty Gym Show, Scott and April tackle three common mistakes they see men making in the non-monogamous community, and why these seemingly harmless habits might be making you less attractive, less confident, and less successful at building the connections you actually want.

From constantly putting yourself down to relying on your partner to break the ice, we're talking about the behaviors that can quietly work against you. And ladies, you're not entirely off the hook either! We dig into why confidence is so attractive, why genuine curiosity beats even the smoothest pickup line, and why telling someone how great you are in bed probably isn't having the effect you think it is. April also shares what actually gives her butterflies when a man approaches her, and it might surprise you.

Plus, before we get into the men, we're sharing some unforgettable highlights from our recent El Salvador retreat! From an incredibly sexy hands-on workshop with Ashley Manta to meaningful connections, hilarious mishaps, and a powerful experience giving back to the local community, this trip reminded us why we love bringing people together.

Whether you're brand new to non-monogamy or you've been in the lifestyle for years, this conversation might change the way you approach your next party, event, or potential connection. Because sometimes the secret to becoming more attractive isn't changing how you look. It's changing how you connect.

Come for the laughs, stay for the lessons, and remember to **Never Stop Playing!**

You Want an Open Relationship. So Why Does It Hurt? | Ally Iseman, CRC13 Oct 202600:59:11

When Your Mind Says Yes, But Your Body Says No

You love your partner. You genuinely want them to experience freedom, pleasure, and connection with others. You've talked about it, made agreements, and decided you're ready.

Then it happens.

You see your partner flirting with someone, kissing someone, or enjoying an experience you've already agreed to, and suddenly your stomach drops. Your heart races. Every part of your body seems to be screaming that something is wrong.

But is something actually wrong?

In this episode of The Naughty Gym Show, we're joined by relationship coach and jealousy expert Ally Iseman, CRC to explore one of the most confusing and difficult aspects of non-monogamy: the disconnect between what we intellectually accept and what we emotionally experience.

We get personal about our own struggles with jealousy, including the times we've hidden our feelings from each other, tried to power through uncomfortable experiences, and inadvertently made things harder by attempting to protect one another.

Ally challenges some deeply ingrained beliefs about jealousy and introduces her six-step Jealousy G.R.O.W.T.H Method, explaining how uncomfortable emotions can become opportunities for greater self-awareness, trust, and intimacy.

We also explore an important distinction: When is emotional discomfort an opportunity for growth, and when is it a sign that you're pushing yourself too far?

Whether you're curious about opening your relationship, already navigating non-monogamy, or simply trying to understand jealousy in a monogamous relationship, this conversation offers a different way to think about one of our most misunderstood emotions.

Because experiencing jealousy doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong with your relationship. What matters is what you do with it.

The Non-Monogamy Check-In30 Sep 202600:55:02

What if the real question isn’t, “Why can’t I handle non-monogamy?” but instead, “What else am I already carrying?”

In this episode, Scott and April get unusually personal about something that has quietly affected their own non-monogamous relationship for years: capacity.

Non-monogamy can be emotionally demanding. And when one partner is already overwhelmed by work, family, stress, responsibility, or an unequal relational load, there may simply not be much capacity left for jealousy, uncertainty, sexual exploration, or navigating new boundaries.

But the conversation goes even deeper.

Scott and April unpack a recurring communication pattern between them. Before entering a non-monogamous environment, Scott would ask some version of, “What are you comfortable with?” His intention was to avoid assumptions and protect the relationship.

April heard something very different.

To her, the question felt like she was being handed responsibility for deciding what Scott could or couldn’t do—and then being forced to choose between two terrible options: say yes and potentially override herself, or say no and feel responsible for disappointing him.

The breakthrough came when they realized April wasn’t asking Scott to read her mind.

She was asking for evidence that he had been paying attention.

Instead of, “Where are you?” the better question became something closer to:

“Here’s where I think we are. Here’s what I see you carrying. Here’s what I think our capacity looks like right now. How does that feel to you?”

It’s a conversation about non-monogamy, but it’s also about something much bigger: attunement, invisible labor, emotional responsibility, communication, and the difference between asking your partner to give you the answer and showing them that you’re already standing beside them trying to understand it.

If you’ve ever wondered why something that once felt exciting suddenly feels exhausting, this episode may help you understand why.

Can Psychedelics Make You Better at Non-Monogamy?15 Sep 202601:02:34

Can psychedelics actually make you better at non-monogamy?

Jealousy. Fear. Defensiveness. Insecurity. The urge to control what your partner does so you don’t have to feel something uncomfortable.

These are some of the hardest parts of opening a relationship, and in this episode, Scott sits down with Dr. Chandra Khalifian and Dr. Kayla Knopp, co-founders of Enamory, to explore whether psychedelic-assisted therapy can help us respond to those challenges differently.

Chandra and Kayla work at the intersection of couples therapy, expansive relationships, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Together, they explore how substances like MDMA and ketamine may temporarily reduce defensiveness, increase cognitive flexibility, deepen empathy, and make it easier to see a conflict through your partner’s eyes.

And that creates a fascinating possibility for non-monogamy: What if the goal isn’t to eliminate jealousy, fear, or insecurity?

What if the goal is to become better at experiencing those emotions without immediately trying to restrict someone else’s freedom?

Scott, Chandra, and Kayla discuss:

• How to talk to your partner about opening your relationship

• Why being terrified to raise the subject may reveal a deeper issue

• What happens in the brain when MDMA reduces fight-or-flight responses

• Why psychedelics may make us less defensive during difficult conversations

• How non-monogamy can expose our instinct to control what makes us uncomfortable

• Why jealousy is information, not automatic proof that your partner has done something wrong

• How psychedelic therapy may expand our ability to tolerate fear, insecurity, shame, and uncertainty

• Why letting go of control can become a learnable skill

• How psychedelics can make it easier to understand your partner’s perspective

• What ketamine-assisted relationship therapy actually looks like

• Why the psychedelic experience itself isn’t enough, and why integration matters

• How to tell the difference between a meaningful psychedelic insight and simply having a strange idea while high

Scott also shares how an early MDMA experience with April unexpectedly changed the way they communicated and allowed each of them to hear things from the other that had previously been much harder to receive.

This isn’t a conversation about using psychedelics to magically make non-monogamy easy. It’s about whether psychedelic-assisted therapy might help us develop some of the very capacities non-monogamy demands: emotional flexibility, empathy, curiosity, perspective-taking, and the ability to experience discomfort without immediately trying to control the person we love.

Special Episode: Men Need Male Relationships04 Sep 202600:19:37

What happens when a bunch of men who aren’t particularly interested in going to a men’s retreat actually spend a weekend together?

Apparently, something none of us expected.

When Mancation Mountain was created, the plan was pretty simple: get a group of guys together in an incredible Smoky Mountain mansion, eat great food, play poker and pickleball, drink, laugh, hang out, and squeeze in about 90 minutes a day talking about relationships.

Because, realistically, how much “deep conversation” are a bunch of guys going to tolerate?

Last year, those 90-minute conversations kept turning into four-hour conversations. The guys themselves didn’t want them to end.

In this episode, Scott sits down with two men who attended the first Mancation Mountain to talk about what actually happened there, including what they expected going in, why some of the men almost didn’t come at all, and how a weekend built around having fun unexpectedly became one of the most meaningful experiences many of them had ever had.

They talk openly about relationships, sex, insecurity, erectile dysfunction, childhood baggage, non-monogamy, marriage, anxiety, and things some men admitted they had never told another person in their lives.

But this isn’t therapy camp, and it isn’t four days of sitting around crying.

It’s about something a lot of men may not realize they’re missing until they experience it: real friendships with other men who can hear the complicated, uncomfortable, deeply personal parts of your life without judging you, fixing you, or turning the conversation into wife-bashing.

Mancation Mountain is sex-positive, but it isn’t just for men in non-monogamous relationships. Last year included straight, gay, bisexual, monogamous, non-monogamous, partnered, and single men. The common denominator was simply being open-minded enough to let other people live differently than you do.

If the phrase “men’s retreat” makes you slightly uncomfortable, this episode may be especially worth hearing.

Because several of the men who felt exactly that way going in were the same ones saying, three days later: “I had no idea I needed this.”

Barcelona Recap & Our Two-Year Transparency Misunderstanding01 Sep 202601:02:41

We’re back from Europe, and somehow we came home with more than great food, unforgettable stories, and a ridiculous amount of sweat.

In this episode, we recap our eight-day Naughty Gym/Aya Society trip outside Barcelona with 29 friends, including connection circles, skinny dipping at a 500-year-old villa, late nights in the Gothic Quarter, an unforgettable drag show in Sitges, April watching her grandson being born over FaceTime while standing outside Sagrada Família, and a few lessons about what happens when Scott attempts to navigate European public transportation.

Then we head to Rome, where a bucket-list trip became far more emotional than either of us expected. But somewhere between the Vatican, ancient ruins, wine, and long dinners, we also uncovered something much bigger: a misunderstanding that had quietly been affecting our relationship for nearly two years.

It started with something Scott once said publicly: “When I’m sitting in front of someone, I’m trying to fall deeply in love with them.” Scott thought he was describing presence, curiosity, and allowing himself to connect deeply with another human being. April heard something very different, and instead of telling him how frightening that idea felt, she spent two years trying to make herself become okay with it.

That realization turned into a conversation about one of the central pillars of *Wild Love Theory*: transparency. What happens when one person isn’t precise about what they mean and the other person isn’t honest about what they feel? When does “doing the work” become forcing yourself to tolerate something your body keeps rejecting? And how can our partners truly know us if we’re showing them the person we think we’re supposed to be instead of the person we actually are? Apparently even the people who wrote the book can mess this stuff up.

Plus, we talk about what we learned from Barcelona, why future Aya Society trips may look a little different, our upcoming events, and the release of Wild Love Theory.

Jealousy in Non-Monogamy: Invisible Contracts & Unspoken Expectations11 Aug 202600:52:53

What happens when you really click with another person or couple, maybe even have great sex, and then find yourself hurt or jealous when they connect with someone else?

In Episode 83, April and Scott talk about the invisible agreements we sometimes create in non-monogamy without ever discussing them.

Maybe you’ve played together before and assumed it would happen again. Maybe you went to an event together expecting to spend the night together. Maybe you felt close to someone and were surprised by your jealousy when they met someone new. Problems can arise when those assumptions affect how we treat someone who never knew we had them.

We also explore how differently people experience sexual desire. Attraction, chemistry, and opportunity may lead one person toward sex, while someone else can enjoy the same chemistry without wanting to take it further. Previous sex doesn’t guarantee future sex.

We talk about what happens when disappointment creates pressure, why someone else shouldn’t have to manage our reaction to hearing no, and how this can affect consent. April also shares how fear of disappointing people influenced some of her own choices in the past.

Plus, we get into jealousy between friends and play partners, compersion, autonomy, community, and why communicating our hopes can prevent unspoken expectations from creating hurt feelings.

Menopause Unfiltered: Pelvic Health, Better Sex & the Power of Women’s Community28 Jul 202601:01:53

Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than your cycle—they can reshape your sleep, strength, confidence, sexuality, and relationships. In this candid episode, April and co-host Catherine of Expansive Connection explore how women can move through this transition feeling informed, empowered, and fully connected to their bodies.

Pelvic-floor specialist Cara explains why common symptoms shouldn’t simply be dismissed as “normal,” how breathing and mobility support pelvic health, and why the pelvic floor matters for movement, pain, sexual function, and stronger orgasms. Returning Wild & Wise attendees Teresa and Sharon also share how the retreat helped them rediscover self-love, gain practical knowledge, form genuine friendships, and feel less alone.

You’ll also hear what’s planned for the 2026 Wild & Wise Retreat, from fitness, nutrition, hormones, relationships, and pleasure to yoga, nourishing food, intentional downtime, and honest conversations in a welcoming, sex-positive space. Whether you’re approaching perimenopause, already in it, or navigating life after menopause, this episode is a powerful reminder: you are not broken, you don’t have to suffer silently, and you deserve support.

The Wild & Wise Retreat takes place November 8–11, 2026, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Learn more at NaughtyGym.com.

We’re Getting Divorced… to Celebrate Our Love? Our Biggest Announcement Yet14 Jul 202600:56:14

After six years, Naughty Gym is becoming Aya Society.

In this episode, we share why we’re making the biggest change our business has ever seen, what the new name means, and why this feels like the next chapter of everything we’ve been building.

We also announce the upcoming release of Wild Love Theory, our new book about building relationships that are rooted in freedom, authenticity, and intentional commitment.

And yes… we’re also explaining why we’re legally divorcing, and why, for us, it has become one of the deepest expressions of our commitment to each other.

In this episode we discuss:

* Why Naughty Gym is becoming Aya Society

* The meaning behind “As You Are”

* Our vision for the future

* The Wild Love Theory launch

* The Unbinding Ceremony

* Why we’re redefining commitment instead of abandoning it

* Upcoming events in Portland, Barcelona, El Salvador, Tennessee, Hedonism II, and our Minnesota book launch weekend.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to intentionally design your life instead of simply inheriting it, this conversation is for you.

Naughty Gym Invades X-Club: Inside A Lifestyle Weekend In Toronto30 Jun 202601:07:10

We just got home from hosting our first Naughty Gym weekend at X Club, and we are telling the whole story.

In this episode, Scott, April, and Andy recap four days at one of the most impressive lifestyle clubs they have visited. They share what surprised them about X Club, why it felt welcoming for both first-timers and longtime lifestyle people, how the club separates partying from play, and why that setup made the entire experience feel safer, easier, and far less overwhelming.

They talk pool parties, late-night dancing, Luna Matatas’s workshops, a packed Saturday-night crowd, the people they met, and the unexpected truth that they went to a huge lifestyle event mostly to dance, talk, connect, and enjoy the energy.

The conversation also goes deeper into what helped April feel unusually relaxed and free during the weekend, why rigid relationship agreements did not work for them, how couples can stay connected without turning an event into a contract, and why everyone has to find their own version of comfort, curiosity, and play.

Plus, there is an ice-maker discovery, a drag-queen ambush, a bank-account hack, a questionable amount of DoorDash, and a reminder that Andy may be the most dedicated hotel-room vacationer alive.

Whether you are curious about X Club, considering your first lifestyle event, or simply want the behind-the-scenes story of a wild weekend with friends, this episode is for you.

Dealing With Fears & Insecurities in Non-Monogamy09 Jun 202600:53:43

Fear, jealousy, and insecurity are some of the most common struggles couples face in the lifestyle, swinging, open relationships, and ethical non-monogamy. But what should you actually do when those feelings show up?

In this episode of The Naughty Gym Show, April and Scott talk about the normal fears that come up in the lifestyle, including body comparison, fear of being replaced, anxiety around texting, repeat partners, kissing, solo dates, separate-room play, and the stories our brains create when we feel triggered.

Most couples respond to fear by creating a new rule. Sometimes that can be helpful. Temporary agreements can act as scaffolding while trust and emotional capacity are being built. But when rules become the permanent solution, they can quietly turn into a cage.

Scott and April introduce two practical frameworks from their upcoming Wild Love Theory workbook:

The R.U.L.E. Pattern

React to the Trigger

Unpack the Pain

Limit the Behavior

Enforce the Rule

This is the common path couples take when fear shows up.

The F.R.E.E. Framework

Find the Real Fear

Reexamine the Story

Express the Need Without Control

Expand Capacity

This is a healthier way to process jealousy and insecurity without immediately turning fear into restriction.

They also share personal examples from their own non-monogamous journey, including how insecurity can be connected to body image, relationship load, disconnection, old wounds, overwhelm, and feeling undesirable or unchosen.

This episode is for anyone in the lifestyle, curious about ethical non-monogamy, or trying to understand how to deal with jealousy, rules, boundaries, insecurity, and fear without making each other smaller.

The goal is not to build enough rules that nobody ever gets scared. The goal is to build enough capacity that fear no longer has to run the relationship.

The Bad Prophet: You’re Probably Not as Good at Reading People as You Think21 May 202601:06:20

How good are you really at reading people?

Most of us like to believe we are above average at detecting lies, sensing energy, reading body language, picking up on vibes, and knowing what someone “really means.” But the research tells a very different story. In this episode, April and Scott unpack one of the most quietly destructive patterns in relationships: the confidence we place in our own interpretations, especially when fear gets involved.

They begin with a hilarious and painfully revealing self-test. Are you better than average at spotting a liar? A better driver? Less biased than most people? More emotionally intelligent? Like most of us, April has strong answers. Then Scott brings in the numbers, including studies showing that people are barely better than chance at detecting lies, wildly overestimate their own abilities, and almost never think they are more biased than the average person.

From there, the conversation turns personal.

April shares how old survival patterns can make her misread silence, body language, or a delayed response as evidence that something is wrong. Scott tells a story he has never shared before about seeing April texting, feeling an instant threat response, checking her phone, and realizing she had simply been messaging her son about her grandbaby. Nothing was wrong, but his body had already built a case.

This is the heart of what they call The Bad Prophet in their upcoming book, Wild Love Theory: the part of us that takes partial information, adds old pain, turns fear into certainty, and predicts a future that may not be real.

In non-monogamy, the Bad Prophet can be especially powerful. A partner flirts with someone else, makes out with someone else, gets quiet, seems distracted, or does something slightly unexpected, and suddenly the mind begins narrating: I’m not enough. They want them more. I’m losing them. This means something about my worth.

But pain is not always proof. A body reaction is real, but the story attached to it may be wrong.

April and Scott also introduce the opposite practice: The Unprophet. Instead of treating your first fear-story as truth, you learn to slow down, separate fact from interpretation, ask better questions, give your nervous system time to settle, and make room for explanations that fear did not choose first.

This episode is funny, vulnerable, research-backed, and deeply practical for anyone navigating love, jealousy, non-monogamy, conflict, insecurity, or old relational wounds.

You may be intuitive. You may be emotionally intelligent. You may even be right sometimes.

But this episode asks the harder question:

What if the story that feels most true is only the first draft?

The Opportunity: Investing In A Lifestyle Resort & The Power Of Why In Non-Monogamy05 May 202600:45:13

Yes, we’re part of a new lifestyle resort project in Florida, and in this episode we bring on Jimmy Thorpe to talk about the vision, the opportunity, and what could become one of the most exciting lifestyle destinations in the United States.

But the real story is bigger than the property.

This conversation is about where non monogamy is headed. For a long time, a lot of lifestyle spaces have been built around the same basic formula: drinks, DJs, sex, and weekend parties. And while there is absolutely a place for that, we believe the community is ready for something more.

We talk about creating spaces where non monogamy is not just about who you play with, but how deeply you connect, how freely you show up, and how much room there is for people to grow. That means better events, more thoughtful programming, wellness, education, community, inclusivity, and a culture where people can enjoy the atmosphere without pressure.

In the second half of the episode, we dig into a question every non monogamous person and couple should ask:

Why are we actually doing this?

Our answer has changed a lot over the years. What started as something much more sex focused has become about connection, authenticity, freedom, and building a life where we do not have to edit ourselves down to stay accepted.

So yes, this episode is about a resort.

But it is really about the future of non monogamy, and what it might look like to build spaces that are strong enough to hold more freedom, more honesty, and more human connection.

Wild Love Retreat - What Really Happens When You Live This?28 Apr 202600:58:37

In this episode, April, Scott, and therapist Catherine from Expansive Connection unpack the raw, surprising, and powerful reality of the very first Wild Love Theory retreat. They share what shocked them most, what couples struggled with, what breakthroughs happened in real time, and why the weekend felt deeper than any of them expected.

From vulnerable men opening up, to hard conversations about freedom, boundaries, burdens, trust, and emotional work, this is an honest behind-the-scenes look at what happens when relationship theory gets tested in real life. They also talk about who this retreat is for, who may not be ready for it yet, and what’s next for Wild Love Theory as the book release gets closer.

If you’ve ever wondered what it actually looks like to live this work instead of just talk about it, this episode is for you.

April On The Non-Monogamy Hot Seat: Questions To Argue About14 Apr 202601:02:44

In this episode of the Naughty Gym Show, April and Scott pull back the curtain on one of the biggest shifts in their relationship so far: removing boundaries, testing freedom in real life, and learning what trust actually looks like when it is no longer theoretical.

They talk openly about a major miscommunication that turned into a powerful experiment in non-monogamy, what happened when April gave Scott full freedom for 30 days, and how two unexpected real-world experiences challenged both of them to regulate, trust, and grow.

From there, Scott puts April in the hot seat with raw, unfiltered questions about attraction, jealousy, one-penis policies, no-kissing rules, sexual innuendo, confidence, gossip, privacy, and the biggest turn-offs in both men and women. The result is one of their most candid conversations yet about autonomy, desire, emotional safety, and what healthy freedom actually requires.

They also share updates on the upcoming Wild Love Theory retreat, Toronto X Club, Barcelona, El Salvador, new November events, and the huge news that they are officially under contract to purchase a lifestyle resort in Florida.

This episode is honest, funny, provocative, and full of the kinds of relationship conversations most people are too afraid to have out loud.

Rewriting Our Relationship Rules: Rethinking Boundaries Together31 Mar 202601:18:34

In this raw and deeply personal episode of The Naughty Gym Show, April and Scott pull back the curtain on one of the hardest parts of open relationships and relational freedom: how couples actually revisit rules, boundaries, jealousy, and emotional capacity in real time.

Using a powerful tool from their upcoming Wild Love Theory book and workbook, they walk through the exact process they use to identify hidden relationship rules, examine fear-based restrictions, and decide what freedom they are actually ready for. Along the way, they share a live, vulnerable conversation about private texting, dating, jealousy, trust, nervous system regulation, and what it really takes to expand freedom without blowing up connection.

But this episode goes even deeper. April and Scott also explore a second kind of restriction that many couples miss entirely: imposed emotional burdens. They talk honestly about how unequal household labor, mental load, and invisible responsibilities can quietly destroy capacity for intimacy, desire, and relational freedom, and why no relationship can feel truly expansive when one partner is carrying too much.

If you are navigating open relationships, non-monogamy, marriage, boundaries, jealousy, communication, emotional labor, or relationship growth, this episode gives you an unusually honest look at what that work actually sounds like inside a real partnership.

Starting Non-Monogamy - A Real Couple's Experience17 Mar 202600:54:05

Before we jump into today’s conversation, we share a major announcement: after months of quiet work behind the scenes, we reveal that we’ve been involved with a group that is under contract to acquire what many consider one of the premier lifestyle resorts in Florida. Because of SEC rules, we have to be careful about what we say publicly, but we’re excited to share the project, the vision, and the role we hope to play in helping shape its future.

After that, we sit down with two very special guests, Clint and Danine, our first-ever Naughty Gym members and longtime friends, for a candid conversation about their journey into non-monogamy. They share how an unexpected early experience got put on the shelf for years, how their marriage nearly fell apart before deeper self-work changed everything, and what it looked like to move from survival mode into a more expansive, honest, and adventurous partnership.

This is a fun, raw, and deeply personal episode about growth, sexuality, healing, and what can become possible when a couple stops settling for the default script.

Angry Feminist Era Activated: Unlearning Purity Culture & Defensive Masculinity03 Mar 202600:53:33

This week on The Naughty Gym Show, April takes the wheel for a real-time life update that starts with a chaotic wine-night incident (yes—April fell down 13 of 15 stairs in plush slippers… and Scott’s first response was to laugh 🙃) and turns into one of your most honest conversations yet.

From there, you unpack what’s been swirling behind the scenes: launching your Patreon (with tiers starting at $3/month), opening bookings for your November retreats (aka “Naughty Gym Month”), and the stress of college + military academy decisions as your youngest son heads toward a major next chapter.

Then the episode shifts into the deeper work: purity culture, sexual trauma, voice, righteous anger, and what it looks like to unlearn the systems that shaped both of you—especially in a conservative Southern context. You talk masculinity/femininity language, the “man box,” emotional labor and the invisible mental load, and why “just tell me what to do” isn’t partnership. Scott shares what he’s learning in therapy (and how even saying “I helped you” can quietly reinforce old roles), and you both name the goal: a relationship where men do their own inner work, women don’t have to carry the whole emotional burden, and both partners get to feel freer—and closer—because of it.

Plus: you tease an After Chat on Patreon that allegedly tops the infamous “pissing on the couch” story (and may permanently lower Scott’s sex appeal, according to April).

Listen, laugh, and maybe get a little wrecked—in the best way.

The Spectrum of Compersion: From Neutrality to Joy, Without Toxic Positivity, w/Dr. Marie Thouin17 Feb 202600:57:39

What if the goal is not to erase jealousy, but to stop letting it drive the car? Dr. Marie Thouin joins April and Scott to define compersion in clear, grounded terms, and to explain why it can show up as an emotion, an attitude, or even simple supportive neutrality. They talk about the spectrum from “I can handle this” to genuine joy, the “second arrow” of self-inflicted suffering, and the conditions that make compersion more likely: security in self, security in the relationship, supportive community, and more.

The episode also explores how autonomy and trust intersect with boundaries, when “training wheels” help, and how to tell the difference between growth discomfort and self-abandonment.

Reframing Jealousy: Why The Word "Reclaiming" Gives Us The Ick03 Feb 202600:56:45

Jealousy isn’t always about fear of losing your partner. Sometimes it’s about losing yourself. In this episode, April and Scott share a real, recent story from their open-relationship journey that completely reframed what jealousy can mean—and it leads to a breakthrough concept they call “imposed burdens.”

After Scott goes on a separate date (with April’s full consent and clear emotional parameters), April is surprised by a familiar “pit in the stomach”… but it isn’t abandonment, comparison, or panic. It’s something quieter and more revealing: envy of the freedom Scott has to play, explore, and dream—because she’s carrying the invisible weight of life logistics, emotional labor, and household admin. The conversation turns into a powerful (and practical) exploration of how “freedom” in a relationship can be technically true while still being impossible to access.

They also unpack why the phrase “reclaiming your partner” gives them the ick—and why “reclamation sex” can sometimes smuggle in ownership, control, or reassurance-seeking disguised as intimacy. Instead, they share what reconnection looks like for them (spoiler: it’s more about presence, honesty, and nervous-system safety than performing a ritual).

If you’ve ever felt jealous and couldn’t explain why… if you’re doing “the work” but still feel stuck… or if you’ve wondered whether rules are helping you heal or just helping you avoid… this one will hit.

Plus: a behind-the-scenes update on their upcoming Wild Love Theory book release, the new Wild Love Book Circle, and their April retreat in the Smoky Mountains.

Two Keynotes LIVE From Hedonism Resort: Luna Matatas & Ashley Manta28 Jan 202600:52:28

In this live event recording, sex educator Luna Matatas breaks down why kink can feel so electrifying by exploring the psychology of power, risk, and taboo and how “eroticism” is really the felt sense of being lit up in mind and body. She offers a practical way to translate fantasy into real life by focusing less on props and more on the feelings and “flavors” you want to create, building a clear container of consent, and asking the two questions that change everything: How do I want to feel? How do you want to feel?

Then sexologist and coach Ashley Manta introduces Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a powerful tool for relationships and non-monogamy: learning to notice your “parts,” stop speaking from them, and start speaking for them. With vulnerable, funny stories and concrete steps, she shows how to work with jealousy, fear, and insecurity without outsourcing your safety to your partner, and how self-energy (calm, curiosity, compassion, clarity, courage) turns conflict into repair, intimacy, and better sex.

From Rave Bingo and fundraising for the Hedo Foundation to the Glow Party, foam party chaos, and the Superheroes & Villains night where “Professor X” somehow became “Doctor Strange,” they share the funny, the sexy, and the surprisingly meaningful moments that built real community.

Plus: Wild Love Theory retreat updates, the Toronto X Club Pride weekend announcement, and why “Irish goodbyes” might be the secret to surviving a full takeover week.

LIVE From Hedonism (2/2): THE FREEDOM MANDATE - Scott's Keynote BBBB 202615 Jan 202600:30:51

This week’s second special episode is Scott’s opening keynote from Be Better At Being Bad 2026 at Hedonism II Resort: The Freedom Mandate: The Ethical Case for Relational Freedom.

Scott unpacks Wild Love Theory’s seven-word thesis, “Maximum relational happiness requires maximum relational freedom,” and asks the question that can feel both inspiring and terrifying: If your partner’s happiness matters to you… do you owe them freedom?

From there, he draws a crucial line between true boundaries (inward-facing choices for self-protection) and what most couples call “boundaries” but are actually imposed limits designed to manage fear. He explains why rules can be necessary early on, but only as scaffolding: temporary supports meant to loosen as trust, regulation, and repair become load-bearing.

The talk ends with a raw, personal story from Scott and April’s relationship: the moment Scott kissed April goodbye as she got ready for a date with no rules, and what that taught him about control, courage, and what it means to build a relational cathedral two free people can actually live inside.

Next week we’ll release our full recap of BBBB 2026. If this keynote brings up questions or reflections, email Scott anytime at naughtygymonline@gmail.com.

LIVE from Hedonism (1/2): What Do You Want? How Desire Becomes Your Revolution - April's Keynote BBBB 202614 Jan 202600:38:24

In this opening keynote from Naughty Gym's Be Better At Being Bad Takeover at Hedonism Resort, Coach April invites you into a deeply honest exploration of desire, identity, and self trust. Through personal stories and lived experience, she challenges the roles, labels, and expectations that shape what we think we should want and asks a more powerful question: what do you actually want?

This talk is about unlearning goodness, releasing approval seeking, and reconnecting with the quiet wisdom of the body. It’s an invitation to stop performing the life you were taught to live and start listening to the truth that’s been waiting underneath it all.

This is not about having it all figured out. It’s about coming home to yourself and beginning again, on purpose.

She Chose Herself: April's First Date And The Night Autonomy Became Real30 Dec 202500:55:37

2025 was a LOT… and we’re ending the year with one of the biggest growth moments in our relationship.

In this episode of The Naughty Gym Show, we tell the full story of April’s first real autonomous solo date—the nerves, the ugly Christmas sweater plan, the chemistry, the decision-making in the moment, and what it was like for Scott to sit at home and feel the “flutter” (aka jealousy/activation)… without making it her responsibility.

We also break down the real stuff people avoid talking about in ethical non-monogamy:

  • What compersion actually feels like (not the internet version)
  • How jealousy shows up even when you’re secure
  • Autonomy vs. caretaking (and how to stop people-pleasing)
  • Debriefing after a big night: what helped, what didn’t, and what we learned

And yes… Scott shares the sleep-aid + vodka + couch disaster that happened DAYS before the date. 😬

Sexy Santa Surprise: April Agrees to a Dinner Date (After 1 Year of “Wild Love Theory”)16 Dec 202500:53:49

April and Scott recap a wild (and unexpectedly meaningful) night out: a sexy Santa & Mrs. Claus gig at an LGBTQ-friendly Christmas party that turns into a real-time relationship test. By the end of the night, April, who historically hasn’t felt fully comfortable claiming that kind of freedom, finds herself laughing, connecting, and eventually agreeing to a dinner date with a newly divorced single guy from their extended lifestyle circle.

What follows is the real conversation: how do you support your partner’s autonomy without turning it into pressure, surveillance, or “constant check-ins”? Scott shares how past attempts at separate dating triggered anxiety and control impulses (even when “nothing” was happening), and how this time felt different, calmer, steadier, more grounded. Together they unpack the difference between intuition vs. projection, explore “The Bad Prophet” (mind-reading, future-forecasting, spiraling), and practice “The Unprophet” (staying present, responding only to real data, honoring privacy).

They also dig into a powerful desire question April is building her Hedo keynote around: “What would I do if there was nobody I could disappoint?” The episode closes with upcoming Naughty Gym events and a thoughtful note on protecting partners’ anonymity, because this show isn’t about sex-capade storytelling, it’s about the real emotional skills non-monogamy demands.

Recap Of Our Men's & Women's Retreats, & Details On Our New Wild Love Theory Retreat02 Dec 202500:52:29

Welcome back to The Naughty Gym Show! In this episode, April and Scott catch you up on everything that’s been happening behind the scenes — from finishing their Wild Love Theory book to launching a stacked calendar of retreats for 2025 and beyond.

They start with updates on Be Better at Being Bad at Hedonism II and their new “Fuck Melissa” fundraiser shirt supporting the Hedo Cares Foundation after the hurricane. From there, they share exciting news about the upcoming Wild Love Theory Couples Retreat (a “relationship black belt” experience for already solid couples) and why WLT isn’t therapy to “fix” something broken, but a radical, freedom-based reframing of how we do love.

Wild Love Theory Retreat Info: https://www.naughtygym.com/wild-love-theory-retreat

Then they dive into heartfelt recaps of their two November retreats:

 • Mancation Mountain – a men’s-only cabin retreat that was supposed to be steaks, bourbon, and bowling… and turned into one of the most emotional, transformative weekends of many guys’ lives. Scott talks about how connection circles, deep questions, and a non-judgmental container led to tears, breakthroughs, and 20 new friendships — plus a twist on their usual format that he’ll carry into future events.

 • Wild & Wise – April’s menopause-focused women’s retreat, where women from all over the country and all relationship structures gathered to learn, cry, laugh, and reconnect to their bodies. She shares stories of workshops on hormones, desire, and aging; sensual (not sexual) touch; late-night bunkroom bonding; and an impromptu boudoir shoot that helped women see themselves as sexy and powerful again.

They also talk about what’s coming next:

 • A Religion & Non-Monogamy retreat with two tracks (for those keeping faith and those deconstructing it)

 • A future men + women split-then-merge couples retreat

 • Adventure trips to Barcelona and El Salvador

 • Local events like Sapphire Starlington’s sex-positive Christmas party where April and Scott will appear as a very spicy Mr. and Mrs. Claus

Finally, they close with a reminder that NaughtyGym.com isn’t just about travel — it’s also their online fitness and coaching community, with weekly live calls, workouts, and 1:1 coaching spots available for people who want to thrive in their bodies and their relationships.

If you’re curious about their retreats, coaching, or Wild Love Theory itself, this episode is a perfect snapshot of where the Naughty Gym universe is headed — more depth, more freedom, more community, and as always… never stop playing.

Smoky Mountain Holidaze: Our Recap From Dirty Santa to Dueling Pianos 18 Nov 202500:57:09

April and Scott are back from the Smoky Mountains and very well-rested… because they slept for 3 days. In this episode of The Naughty Gym Show, April & Scott share details about their upcoming gig as sexy Mr. & Mrs. Claus at Sapphire Starlington’s Christmas party in Huntsville before diving into a day-by-day recap of their Naughty Holidaze retreat.

You’ll hear how 14 adventurous couples (plus host couples) turned a giant mountain cabin into a rotating celebration of Halloween, Friendsgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve—complete with connection circles, icebreaker bingo, a “lazy man’s” gratitude drive through bear country, moonshine tastings in tacky Christmas sweaters, and a day of roller coasters at Dollywood. They talk about pop-up play spaces with massage tables and flogging demos, why consent and vibe made this group feel uniquely safe and non-predatory, and the unexpected intimacy of group massages and cuddle puddles.

April and Scott also unpack their Relational Freedom workshop based on their Wild Love Theory book, why Telegram groups can totally mislead you about people, and how a dueling piano New Year’s Sneaker Ball brought their entire origin story full circle. They wrap with a look at upcoming Naughty Gym trips and retreats—and why, whatever you do, you should never stop playing.

Throuples: The Good & The Bad, w/Dr. Rachael Meir04 Nov 202500:51:10

Today we go deep on throuples—what makes a three-person relationship (triad) work in real life. Our guest is Dr. Rachael Meir, a Stanford-trained psychologist, sex & relationship coach, author of 50 Questions to Ask Before Opening Your Relationship, and host of retreats designed specifically for throuples.

In this episode (throuple-forward):

• Shapes of throuples: V vs. closed triad, the “everyone dates everyone” myth, and why symmetry isn’t the only path to stability.

• Avoiding triangles (the bad kind): How to reduce coalitions, secret alliances, and “two against one” dynamics with simple, predictable check-ins.

• Jealousy in 3s: Why jealousy feels different in a triad, Dr. Meir’s “dashboard warning light” frame, and how to respond without spiraling.

• Differentiation = less codependence: Staying three whole people (not one fused blob) actually strengthens the connection between all of you.

• Logistics that keep love humane: Calendars, re-entry rituals, and short “state-of-us” huddles so no one becomes the project manager (or the parent).

• Ethics & invitations: Power imbalances, “unicorn hunting,” and creating consent that’s real for all three partners—not just the original pair.

• Retreat lessons: What Dr. Meir sees thriving throuples do differently (language, expectations, and how they handle NRE without breaking the triangle).

Plus, we pull 5 key prompts from Dr. Meir’s book to ground any non-monogamy journey:

• What desires/needs do I believe non-monogamy could fulfill (for me, not just my partner)?

• Do I have enough self-esteem to stay out of comparison traps?

• Are we differentiated—two/three whole people with overlap—rather than merged?

• Are we opening to fill a void/fix a problem (and what would repair look like first)?

• What small agreements would make us feel safer without turning into surveillance?

Big takeaways you can use tonight

• Trade control for clarity: one short weekly check-in beats constant play-by-play.

• Re-entry rituals after solo or third-partner time keep connection warm and resentment low.

• In triads, fairness ≠ sameness—aim for dignity for all three, not equal minutes.

Cupcakes, Cunnilingus, & Cuddles: Luna Matatas & Handling Rejection22 Oct 202500:52:48

Rejection happens in the lifestyle. What do you do with the sting. April and Scott sit down with pleasure educator Luna Matatas to unpack expectations, etiquette, and empathy when play does not line up for all four people. They dig into clear asks, enthusiastic consent, and how to set goals that are sexual, sensual, and social so the night still feels like a win. Luna shares her worst threesome, her best threesomes, and practical scripts for saying yes and no with kindness. Plus a peek at what she is bringing to Be Better at Being Bad this January. Tune in for real stories, real growth, and a reminder that someone else’s no is a big yes to themselves.

Retreats, Rules & Real Love: A 15-Year Journey Beyond Monogamy09 Oct 202500:55:16

What happens when a longtime marriage says “yes” to curiosity? In this candid convo, Freddy and Andi share how a flirt turned into a slow, consent-first path to non-monogamy and how they “accidentally” became poly. We dig into the real stuff: jealousy and the fear of being replaced, what “check-ins” actually mean (hint: eye contact isn’t enough), and why emotional regulation beats willpower when the feelings get loud. They open up about past secrecy, rebuilding trust, discovering compersion, and why retreats (hello, Expansive Connection) gave them tools that parties never could. Expect practical takeaways on requests vs. mind-reading, setting pace without pressure, navigating separate dates, and creating love that expands, without losing “my person.”

Featuring:

  • Freddy & Andy’s 15-year journey from “big no” to sustainable poly
  • The exact check-in framework that stopped spirals
  • Lessons from men’s/women’s circles, real-time coaching, and a regulation breakthrough
  • Hot-wife dynamics, long-term girlfriend logistics, and staying special while sharing

If you’re opening up, curious about poly, or healing after a breach, this episode is your field guide to honest rules, softer landings, and deeper love.

Celibate Swingers: Why Some People Need More Than Sex23 Sep 202500:59:41

In this playful and thought-provoking episode, Scott and April explore one of the most surprising dynamics in the lifestyle: choosing connection over sex. With their friends Dave and Andi, hosts of Tales of The Lastborns, they discuss topics as varied as “blue-ball moments” at full resort takeovers to the deeper reasons why some swingers deliberately opt for fewer play sessions, at least for a season. This conversation is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt.

They share details about upcoming Naughty Gym events (Jamaica takeover, El Salvador retreat, and even a Barcelona adventure) while reflecting on the tension between sexual freedom and the power of saying “not tonight.” This one will make you laugh, think, and maybe rethink what intimacy really means.

Who Do You Think You Aren't - Boundaries, Self-Trust, & The Power Of The Non-Monogamous Pause06 Aug 202500:56:57

In this powerful episode, April and Scott open up about two months of unexpected personal chaos—and the tools that got them through it. From setting firm family boundaries to rebuilding self-trust after betrayal, they explore how to protect your peace without shutting down or giving up.

April shares the story behind a life-changing letter she wrote to her brothers, the surprising fallout, and why pausing—even in non-monogamy—can be the healthiest move.

They dive into the struggle of being the family fixer, the trap of overgiving, and the question at the heart of it all: Who do you think you aren’t… to deserve peace, trust, and space to be yourself?

You’ll also hear:

• How to nurture yourself when you’re always the nurturer

• Why intuition matters (and how to listen without self-doubt)

• The real impact of setting boundaries in open relationships

• What to do when the people you love disappoint you

Scott Debates Scott: Can Love & Commitment Survive Radical Freedom?30 Jul 202501:22:51

Can a relationship thrive without rules?

Or does lasting love require some limits?

In this candid and thought-provoking episode, Scott sits down with one of his personal training clients (also named Scott) for a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable questions in modern relationship philosophy: Are some imposed boundaries necessary to preserve long-term commitment?

Centering mostly around Wild Love Theory’s radical premise—that maximal happiness requires maximal freedom—the conversation challenges traditional ideas about relational doubt, how much freedom is too much and staying together “no matter what.”

Together, they explore:

 • How much relational freedom is optimal

 • If boundary-free love is liberating or potentially reckless

 • How cultural norms about divorce shape our definitions of commitment

 • The emotional trade-offs between safety and sovereignty

 • Why ENM spaces often avoid talking about relational maintenance

Whether you’re in a long-term monogamous marriage or navigating ethical non-monogamy, this episode asks the question most couples never dare say aloud:

Can you be truly free—and still choose to stay?

In this raw and honest episode, April and Scott—who know a thing or two about public scandal—open up about their own affair-turned-marriage, the cultural obsession with punishing cheaters, and why so many people feel stuck in unhappy relationships.

They unpack the real reasons people cheat, how shame prevents open communication, and why compassion is a better teacher than cruelty. Plus, they share upcoming Naughty Gym retreats, including a free PNW meetup and their wild and wise women’s event.

Whether you’ve been cheated on, done the cheating, or just love a spicy hot take on relationships—this episode dares to go there.

I Don’t Know What I Want (And Neither Do You) - Desire, Doubt & Discovery in Non-Monogamy and Real Life10 Jul 202501:10:44

Why is it so damn hard to know what we really want?

In this vulnerable and unfiltered episode, April and Scott get real about the psychological and emotional roadblocks that make naming our desires feel confusing, overwhelming, and even scary—especially in non-monogamy.

They explore:

• Why childhood and culture train us to want what’s safe—not what’s true

• The difference between relief and real desire

• Why pretending to “want what they want” can quietly destroy you

• How non-monogamy doesn’t make desire clearer—it just makes it louder

• The 3 most common mistakes people make when trying to name what they want

• Practical tools to help you reconnect to your real, wild, messy desires

Plus, they share personal stories, relationship bumps, and how desire work is showing up in their own marriage, right now.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever said, “I don’t know who I am anymore” or “I’m not sure what I want—but I know it’s not this.”

Rage, Hormones, And Vaginal Dryness: The Real Talk You've Never Heard About Menopause.26 Jun 202500:52:57

What if menopause wasn’t something to dread, but a wake-up call, a shift, a powerful evolution?

In this raw and empowering episode, April is joined by her friend and retreat co-host Catherine from Expansive Connection Coaching to break down the messy, misunderstood truth about menopause. They get honest about perimenopause, HRT, sex, sleep, relationships, brain fog, identity, body image, and why so many women feel like they’re losing their minds, or burning their lives down.

But this conversation isn’t just for women. If you’re a partner, a son, a friend, this episode matters to you too. Because understanding menopause means understanding the people you love.

Expect laughter, vulnerability, hard truths, and plenty of F-bombs (the literal and metaphorical kind). Plus, learn more about their Wild & Wise Women’s Menopause Retreat, a space for education, connection, and maybe even a few healing flames.

What happens when a beloved teacher and drag performer in Alabama becomes the target of a national smear campaign? In this powerful Pride Month episode, we sit down with Majesty Divine—former middle school math teacher turned drag icon—to hear the raw, unfiltered truth behind the viral headlines, hateful threats, FBI involvement, and the beauty and heartbreak of staying visible in the South.

This isn’t just a story about drag. It’s a story about freedom, resilience, grief, and the sacred act of refusing to disappear. From a small-town drag bingo to national news, from protestors to parades—this is the real story they didn’t want you to hear.

💥 Trigger warning: mentions of threats, slurs, and religious extremism.

🎙️ Fitness Without Fences: Building Inclusive Spaces for the LGBTQ+ Community with Cara Turnquist11 Jun 202500:39:55

In this powerful Pride Month episode of The Naughty Gym Show, we sit down with advocate and fitness coach Cara Turnquist to tackle one of the fitness industry’s lingering blind spots: true inclusivity for LGBTQ+ individuals.

👉 Why do so many gyms remain unwelcoming—even if they don’t explicitly exclude?

👉 What are the invisible barriers LGBTQ+ folks face just walking into a fitness space?

👉 And why do those of us with privilege have a moral responsibility to fight for change?

Cara shares the origin of her groundbreaking Lift Up program (a safe, empowering gym experience for LGBTQ+ members), personal stories of navigating fatphobia and exclusion, and why representation, small language shifts, and fearless advocacy matter more than ever.

We also unpack:

✅ How gym owners & fitness professionals can make spaces truly inclusive

✅ Why locker rooms and bathrooms are still battlegrounds

✅ How allies can stop sitting quietly on the sidelines

✅ The myth of “neutrality” in today’s climate

✅ Actionable steps for building community and saving lives through fitness

This isn’t just about rainbows on the wall. It’s about creating spaces where everyone feels safe, seen, and free to take up space.

If you’re a gym owner, a coach, a fitness lover—or simply someone who gives a damn about making the world better—this episode is a must-listen. 🎧

Bisexuality in the Lifestyle: Myths, Truths, & Allyship03 Jun 202500:37:09

In this episode, we’re diving deep into what it means to be openly bisexual in swinger and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) spaces, and why it’s time to break the stigma, especially around male bisexuality. 

As a bisexual married couple, we’re often assumed to be straight. But bisexuality doesn’t disappear just because you’re in a “hetero-presenting” relationship. We’re sharing our personal experiences, the double standards we’ve faced, and how we’ve learned to show up more unapologetically in the lifestyle. 

We’ll also explore: 

• Why male bisexuality is still taboo in many swinger spaces 

• How female bisexuality often gets fetishized instead of validated 

• How to start exploring your own bisexuality, whether you’re male, female, partnered, or solo 

• What real allyship looks like in non-monogamous communities 

Whether you’re bi, questioning, or just want to be a better ally, this episode is for you. 🏳️‍🌈 

You deserve to be seen. Your identity is valid. And there’s space for you here. 

If you want to continue the conversation with us, join in the NG Lounge for the “Off The Record” chat in the our Naughty Gym community at www.naughtygym.com

Weight Bias, Toxic Masculinity & Being Seen: A Raw Conversation with Ashley Manta20 May 202500:47:52

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, we sit down with sex educator, writer, and CannaSexual® Ashley Manta for a raw conversation about body image, weight stigma, and what it really means to be seen.

Ashley opens up about her personal journey with GLP-1 medication, navigating public perception, and the grief that comes with being treated better only when you're smaller. We also explore how body autonomy, desire, and visibility intersect—and what happens when the world treats your worth like it’s conditional.

We also talk:

  • The emotional whiplash of weight-based validation
  • Why “being healthier” isn’t always the full story
  • Toxic masculinity, sexual empowerment, and reclaiming space
  • How to make peace with your body in a world that profits off your shame

If you’ve ever felt unseen, dismissed, or punished for existing in your body—this episode is for you.

Unpacking childhood trauma through Wild Love Theory: April's most vulnerable episode yet13 Mar 202501:03:21

This episode is unlike any we’ve ever recorded.

For the first time, April opens up about some of the deepest wounds from her past—stories she’s rarely shared in public. Like so many women, she endured sexual abuse as a young girl, a trauma that shaped her journey but never defined her. Through years of personal work, she’s fought to reclaim her power, her body, and her voice—emerging as the strong, fearless woman she is today.

But healing is a process, not a destination.

For the past 10 years, we’ve navigated non-monogamy together, dismantling the belief systems we inherited and embracing the expansive, limitless potential of love. We’ve taken our time, been intentional, and built something beautiful.

And yet—April recently discovered an entirely new level of healing through Wild Love Theory.

In this episode, she shares how embracing Wild Love Theory has allowed her to shed some of the final remnants of the pain that trauma left behind. It’s a raw, emotional, and deeply personal conversation about breaking free, finding strength, and learning to love without fear.

This wasn’t an easy episode to record. Vulnerability is scary. But April holds nothing back, offering her story to anyone who has ever struggled with past wounds, control, or fear in their relationships.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the past, if you’ve ever questioned the limits imposed on love, or if you simply want to hear a story of true resilience and transformation, this episode is for you.

💜 Listen now. This one will stay with you. 💜

DTF? What is it and is it you?26 Feb 202500:56:14

DTF, otherwise know as "Down To F^@%," is an acronym that some use disparagingly and others wear as a badge of honor. But what does it mean to be DTF? And why do people label others as DTF much more often than anyone adopts it for themselves?

Do we all define DTF the same? Or differently? Listen in on this episode as we try to get some clarity on what it means to be DTF.
