Just Between Us with Jennifer Zamparelli launches today with a podcast on swingers.
Just Between Us: What really happens at an Irish swingers’ party
We’ve all heard about swingers. They’re the people we joke about at dinner parties or read about in the tabloids.
But how did a seemingly underground movement go from private invitations and rented apartments to a now thriving community with numerous events across Ireland.
As part of launch week for Just Between Us, the Irish Independent’s new sex and relationships podcast, Jennifer Zamparelli sits down with Graham, a veteran of Ireland’s swinging scene. From his first wild encounter at 19 to hosting “play parties” of his own, Graham shares what it’s like to live life outside the limits of monogamy and why for him, it’s about trust, freedom and emotional honesty as much as sex.
He talks about overcoming jealousy, the strict rules around consent, and how body confidence and communication can transform a relationship. Along the way, Jen learns the difference between a unicorn, a bull and a “bangover”, and why Ireland’s so-called prudish reputation might be well overdue a rethink.
Just Between Us is an Irish Independent podcast hosted by Jennifer Zamparelli. New episodes every Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts.
