    Ep 30 - Kicking Off Season 2 with a Naughty Club Wedding?! 🤯 Anna Discovers Her Inner Femdom 😈

    Explicit

    🎧 Join us as we kick off Season 2 with a celebration of how far we've come—into deeper love, more freedom, and whole new levels of compersion (that warm feeling of being genuinely happy when your partner is happy—even when it’s with someone else 🥰). We share what it was like attending a spontaneous, sexy strip-club wedding (yes, really), where I found myself locking lips with Superman while Aiden was happily smooching Wonder Woman. It was a moment that showcased the true freedom of our relationship—no expectations, just pure trust, love, and FUN. I also discuss about the joy of exploring my more dominant, teasing side with other men 😏 and how we’re both learning to lean into new friendships—platonic and otherwise—without tension or fear. There's even a heartwarming moment where I make a new male friend while on vacation, proving that platonic connections can be just as meaningful. Of course next week I'm sure I'll be back to jealous mate-guarding 🤣😭, but for now we're in a really happy spot, ready for the next challenge to spur on new conversations!💫 xoxo Anna

    Ep 29 – Anna Goes Solo While Aiden’s Away... and Gets Punished

    Explicit

    While Aiden was out of town, I found myself on an unexpected solo adventure—one that turned into a surprising lesson in compersion, communication, and just how much freedom turns us on. What started as an innocent night out with a lifestyle friend quickly had me questioning: was this a casual hangout or something more? Meanwhile, Aiden was miles away, glued to Find My, spiraling into a mix of jealousy and excitement—what we now call jealous-ited—where the uncertainty of my night made him want me even more. 😈🔥 But the real twist? The more we let go of rules, the more intimate and free we feel—with each other and with those we choose to explore with. By the end of the night, I had a whole new level of clarity on what I want, and Aiden? Let’s just say when he got home, he definitely made me pay for being such a naughty little tease. 😏💥 Tune in for the full story of how trust, compersion, and a little bit of jealousy are making our love (and sex life) hotter than ever. 🚀💋. xoxo, Anna & Aiden 📩 Email us: AnnaAiden@gmx.com Hacking Love Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1YFEEPwYeB/

    Ep 28 - Anna Asks Aiden About Opening Up — A Male Perspective 🔥🧠🔥

    Explicit

    What happens when you really let go of rules about relationships, masculinity, and desire? In this episode, Aiden opens up about his journey from traditional monogamy to non-monogamy—what surprised and challenged him, and how the lifestyle has transformed his confidence in ways he never expected. 👀💪 We break down the unspoken pressure men feel in social settings to protect or assert ownership over "their women" , how seeing your partner flirting can go from a threat to a turn-on, and the unexpected ways open relationships actually strengthen trust. If you’ve ever wondered what the lifestyle is like from the male perspective, this episode is for you. 🎧🔥 xoxo, Anna & Aiden 📩 Email us: AnnaAiden@gmx.com Hacking Love Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1YFEEPwYeB/

    What happens when you realize the label you’ve been using might not fit anymore? In this episode, we take a hard look at where we really belong in the ENM world—are we swingers, open, monogamish, or something in between? Where might you fall? 🤔💭 From redefining our play style to unpacking hidden fantasies (like Anna's cheating kink 👀🔥), this conversation is raw and real. If you’ve ever questioned your desires, struggled to speak up in the moment, or found yourself re-evaluating what you really want from non-monogamy, you won’t want to miss this one! 🎙️💡 Thank you for listening! ❤️ Anna & Aiden 📩 Email us: AnnaAiden@gmx.com We're re-invigorating our stalled Facebook group!

    Ep 26 — How to Discuss the Lifestyle with a Reluctant Partner! Plus, Surprise Run-Ins with Neighbors & Co-Workers in the LS? 😱 🥸

    Explicit

    In this episode, we start with a totally relatable email from a listener asking for advice on how to approach the topic of opening her marriage with her (currently reluctant) husband, whom she adores.. 💌 Her questions are likely some that many of you have too--especially if you're new to the idea of opening up. 🙋🏽‍♂️ What happens when it's the MAN who's hesitant? (HINT: The approach is the same regardless of which parter it is!) 💗 How can you create a safe space for conversation without pressure and create more honesty and intimacy in a marriage--regardless of whether you play right away (or ever!)? 😰 How do you deal with jealousy and the fear of losing your partner? 😱 And god forbid, what if you run into someone you know at a lifestyle event? We dive deep into real talk on what worked for us, including how to set boundaries, build trust, and avoid common pitfalls. 💥 Key moments: Aiden and Anna both share how the initial fears they had when opening up have shifted, and Anna discusses her curiosity about separate dating. Plus, we explore playful strategies (like card games and fantasy discussions) that can open up intimacy and turn up the heat, without pressure to involve others--yet.🌟✨ 📲 Don’t forget to leave us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to help us reach more listeners!
