My first-time guest Adam Darrow has always been a thrill-seeking risk taker. Early on, that meant participating in extreme sports, of course. But not until he met ONE woman in particular did he ever consider dating and relating to women an extreme sport unto itself. She made it very clear that she was not the kind of woman who wanted to settle down with one man. That led to a path of sexual discovery for Adam that would make Mickey Rourke’s character in 9 1/2 Weeks jealous. So who was this woman, and what made her so tantalizingly different? And how did Adam’s response to her–and what she offered–differ from most guys who might dream about finding a chick and getting into ‘The Lifestyle’ with her? When Adam’s new girlfriend was quite public about their non-monogamous relationship, how did Adam’s family and friends respond? And did he care? How did this new relationship affect his masculinity? Well, given they got married and stayed together for over ten years, you can already sense how amazing the story of this adventure is going to get. What happened when Adam entered the ‘underground’ sex society of New York City, and what was that like? Were there any pitfalls or was it all pleasure? How did Adam feel about sharing his girl with other men…even in real time? Is desiring and living such a lifestyle a matter of nature or nurture? And is there such thing as ‘cheating’ is a completely open relationship? Is monogamous intimacy overrated? Can you go back to monogamy after extreme non-monogamy, even if you want to? Ultimately, would Adam recommend a non-monogamous lifestyle? These are some powerful questions amidst one of the most shocking episodes in recent memory, but it all made for a great show.
