Can you be politically conservative while living a decidedly unconventional lifestyle?
In this episode of The Critical Swinger, Alexis and Miles talk about navigating the lifestyle as a conservative-oriented couple—and why political beliefs sometimes feel like one of the few things you’re not supposed to openly discuss in a community that prides itself on acceptance.
We get into the perceived contradiction between conservatism and consensual non-monogamy, the difference between tolerance and mandatory agreement, political conversations with lifestyle friends, and why “everyone is welcome” doesn’t necessarily mean everyone has to agree—or even like one another.
Along the way, we wander into identity politics, lifestyle cliques, bisexuality, exclusivity, sex-club standards, playroom etiquette, and one unforgettable woman who apparently thought a Stanley cup with a snack tray belonged in the playroom.
Our position is ultimately pretty simple: adults should generally be free to make consensual choices without government or strangers policing them—but freedom also comes with personal responsibility, accountability, and the freedom for other people to have opinions about those choices.
It’s politics, sex, hypocrisy, and snacks in the playroom.
What could possibly go wrong?
