About The NAUGHTY GYM Show
Naughty Gym Show is a podcast about non-monogamy, open relationships, swinging, polyamory, and the skills of building strong relationships beyond traditional monogamy. Hosted by Scott and April Shirley, the show explores how couples and individuals can create honest, ethical, and emotionally strong non-monogamous relationships. Each episode dives into the real work of modern love, communication, jealousy, autonomy, intimacy, trust, and personal growth. At the center of the show is a simple but radical idea: relational freedom. The belief that love grows strongest when it is chosen freely, supported by honesty, autonomy, and mutual respect rather than control or fear. These conversations draw from the broader framework behind Wild Love Theory, a modern philosophy of relationships built around authenticity, autonomy, and expansive connection. If you’re curious about ethical non-monogamy (ENM), exploring open relationships, navigating polyamory, or simply trying to build a more honest and resilient partnership, this show offers the conversations and skills most people were never taught. At Naughty Gym, relationships are treated like something you train for. We talk about the philosophy, psychology, and practical skills required to build relationships that are strong enough to hold freedom, truth, desire, and real intimacy. Expect deep conversations, practical insights, and honest stories about love, sex, commitment, and the future of relationships. Welcome to the gym.

You Want an Open Relationship. So Why Does It Hurt?
Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So if it's the same stimuli, the same relationship, same environment, it's the same thing, and you're not able to address it, then yeah, we need to look at like, okay, how can we shift the container at all so it's a little more manageable? It's not about backtracking entirely necessarily, but there's value in that discomfort. But if there's no progress, the progress isn't about making the jealousy comfortable or turning the jealousy into something else or getting rid of it. So we do have to define what does success look like? What is progress? And it's not that. It's about, are we getting jealousy to a place where we have a way of processing? […]
