EP454 - A Sexual Revolution: Hookups, Hiccups and Happenstances

Welcome to Episode 454 of the Sexology Podcast! Today, I’m excited to be joined by Sam L. Feldman, who speaks to me about ethical non-monogamy, swinging, and the evolution of sexual liberation across the decades.


In this episode, Sam shares insights from his book Hookups, Hiccups and Happenstances, which reflects on the changing landscape of sexuality from the 1960s and 70s through to today. We discuss the social shifts that empowered women during this period, the origins of swinging, and how personal boundaries and communication have shaped Sam’s own 62-year marriage.


Married for 61 years and counting, Sam is an excellent spokesperson on love and the many ways it can be explored. A number of the “hookups” he writes about in his book come from his real experiences of being in “the right place at the right time” during the Sexual Revolution. He also says he invented a sex position in this era. The position he's dubbed "the corkscrew” takes three people, unlike his other favorite position: 69.


In this episode, you will hear:


· Evolution Of Sexual Liberation In The 60s And 70s

· Origins Of Swinging And Key Clubs

· Women’s Empowerment And Reproductive Rights

· Sam’s 62-Year Marriage And Communication Pact

· Seven Rules For Navigating Non-Monogamy

· Boundaries Between Love And Sex

· Transparency And Openness In Long-Term Relationships

· How Date Nights Strengthen Connection

· Addressing Jealousy In Non-Monogamy

· Swinging Culture And Common Misconceptions
