đ» Episode Summary
This week on Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, weâre diving into a topic that every swinger, poly couple, and ethically non-monogamous adventurer should have on their radar: catfishing in the lifestyle.
No, not fishing in swamps or noodling in muddy riversâweâre talking about people pretending to be someone theyâre not online, sliding into lifestyle spaces with fake photos, shady profiles, and sometimes even predatory intentions.
From AOL chatrooms and puppy-love disasters to todayâs TikTok scammers asking Adam for $45 nail money (yes, that happened), we unpack decades of personal stories, listener anecdotes, and lifestyle lessons. We break down:
-
đ The Types of Catfish:
â Filter fiends & â20-year-oldâ photos
â Fake couples (ahem⊠actually just one lonely guy)
â Profiles with pro-model shots only
â âI swear my partner knows!â⊠when they donât
â The scammers fishing for your nudes (and why we donât trade pics unless youâre real) -
đ© Red Flags to Watch For:
â No face pics
â Always âtoo busyâ to meet or video chat
â Overeager for nudes or instant hookups
â Stories that just donât add up -
đ The Fallout:
â Emotional letdowns & wasted time
â Safety concerns, especially for women
â Erosion of trust in lifestyle communities
â Why a single lie makes people wonder, âWhat else are they hiding?â -
đĄïž Protect Yourself:
â Video verify (FaceTime, Messenger, Zoomâanything live)
â Meet first at lifestyle clubs or trusted meet & greets
â Cross-reference profiles on sites like SDC, SLS, Kasidie
â Build a trusted network who can vouch for people
â And above allâtrust your gut. If it feels off, it probably is.
Through all the laughs and real talk, Adam and Pris remind us that the lifestyle is built on trust, consent, and honesty. Without that, the sexy adventures we love lose their magic.
đ„ Key Takeaway
Catfishing isnât just annoyingâit can be unsafe. Protect yourself, protect your community, and keep the fun alive by staying vigilant and unapologetically real.
