Polyamory, Veto Power & Wild Love Theory — Naughty Gym

Scott and April from Naughty Gym join The Professor to introduce their new book, Wild Love Theory — a relationship philosophy built around authenticity, autonomy, intentional agreements, and the idea that love should never require either partner to become smaller.

Wild Love Theory goes on sale September 1, and Scott and April say preorders are open now. They will also be in Minneapolis over Labor Day weekend, with their official book-launch party happening September 6.

With Dr. Scarlet and The Dean joining the conversation, the group pressure-tests Wild Love Theory against real-life non-monogamy: polyamory, swinging, veto power, hierarchy, separate dating, relationship rules, safety, jealousy, mental load, and what happens when two people genuinely want different things.

Scott and April also talk about Naughty Gym's evolution into AYA Society, their upcoming unbinding ceremony, Wild Love Theory retreats, and then stick around to play DDP's Poly, Benefits, or One Night.
