Consenting Adults

329
Sexuality #72

Life STARTS at 40, and is fabulous well into your 50’s and beyond, despite what society says about being “over the hill.” The 40+ adult is more open, experiments more, and has finally embraced the living part of life. Consenting Adults explores this new frontier. From open marriages to swinging, ethical non-monogamy, sex workers, and chasing that libido, every day people reveal what really goes on behind closed doors and how they’re enjoying sex and life more than ever. When it’s a normal way of living for many, is it still “freaky?” Frank, funny, thought-provoking conversations with Emmy Award-winning journalist and host of Consenting Adults, Leyna Nguyen.

    Where Did This Podcast Go?
    This is/was one of my go-to podcasts each week, and then it appears to have suddenly stopped. Any idea what’s going on and when it might be back?

    A new favorite podcast
    I just discovered this podcast a couple of weeks ago and I cannot get enough of it. I started by listening to a couple of the most recent podcasts first and then started with episode 1. I’m up to 56 now and I love all the episodes. I’m trying my hardest to get caught up. I’m not in the lifestyle, but my boyfriend and I have discussed playing with another female. My idea is to bring her in for him mostly, but we can all play. We spent a full week at Fantasy Fest in Key West this year (2022) and we have also visited our local lifestyle club, which was a bust because he acted like a 14 year old boy (he’s 55) while we visited the play rooms. So embarrassing. I’m fully open to full swaps and more, but will have to see how everything pans out. We’ve discussed going on a lifestyle vacation next year and I’ll be booking that one soon. Now to get him to listen to these podcasts.

    The Real Reality
    Can’t say enough good things about this Podcast. The interviews are great! The thing of consistency I find throughout the entire lifestyles communities is the sincere and genuine love and respect among partners and Leyna allows us to get up close and personal. Considering Leyna’s mainstream beginnings in LA Im utterly facilitated by her slide into this genre. She does a wonderful job and always looking forward to every new show.

    Great Show by a Top Pro Journalist
    If you’re a podcast fan, and you’re fan of this topic, you will find lots of great information and shows out there. You’ll also find entertaining people and couples, and great stories. This particular podcast however is hosted by a professional journalist who takes the subject seriously, has a great time with it, and even has some “rules” of her own. I don’t care if she’s in The Lifestyle or not - I’m not (yet!) - but I love her work. And her interview with GS Youngblood might just make the next 25+ of my marriage the best part of my life! Buckle up, get hooked, and have some fun.

    Too short
    This podcast is Intriguing, interesting, and informative. Leyna’s relaxed interviewing style compliments her guests and keeps each episode light, but focused. My problem is the episodes are too short and sometimes feel like the topic wasn’t fleshed out enough. JST in LA

    Refreshing and on the pulse of sexuality
    My wife and I both listen to every podcast and always look forward to the next one coming out. Nobody ask questions like she does to drill down into the details and getting the details is important. That’s where the real learning is at! Her professionalism and topics are refreshing. Oh and her voice just brings a calm to all of it! Thank you for the awesome podcast!
  • Barry90909090
    Leyna is so hot
    And she has to be cucking her hubby by now. You can tell she gets moist, if not off, on the conversations about cuckoldry. I’ll be her bull anytime she wants.
  • astgbjv
    Investigative journalism at its most penetrating depth
    Leyna asks questions. Not junk questions but questions that get right into the nub of the matter. This moves the podcast along so it can cover a lot of ground. Because she’s not in the lifestyle, her responses and questions match those of people who are also not in the LS. Her responses are priceless.
  • Inquisitivewannabe
    She helps me feel ok!
    I struggle with my "fantasies" and wish I could be "normal"! Well this podcast has helped me understand how normal I really am! Thank you for showing cuckolding is normal and is all about loving your partner! Bravo!
  • Hopeful_cuck
    Spectacular conversations!
    If you’re curious about sex, and you like the idea of learning about others’ styles? You should be listening to this show!

  • Lifestyle Wannabe
    Cheers to Leyna!
    I’m really impressed with Ms Leyna and her program and podcast Consenting Adults I love the way she conducts these interviews with multiple lifestyle members in such a fresh and friendly way. Leyna asks questions as any of us would when we want to know more. I love the way she always treats her guests professionally and compassionately with a hint of playful curiosity. Kudos to Leyna for bringing this lifestyle out into the open letting all of us know your neighbors aren’t who you think they are. It’s so nice such a beautiful woman like Leyna can bring this information to those of us who wish to know more about how these lifestyles work Thank you Leyna! Awesome program!
  • Pathfinder4x4
    Fascinating…
    Lenya is one of the best interviewers I have ever heard. She is both professional and playful with her guests. I would recommend her podcast to anyone who is considering the swinger or non-monogamous lifestyle or anyone who just enjoys a good and informative podcast. A++

    Amazing Conent!
    One of the most informative, honest, and entertaining podcasts in the space of adult issues. Leyna is a fantastic interviewer and is always respectful and non-judgemental with all of her guests! Highly recommend this podcast!

    Fun and Informative
    Leyna artfully gets her guests to open up about their experiences, resulting in a fun and informative podcast. Highly recommend.
  • skydivebob
    The hottest podcast on the inter-web!
    Leyna leads you through all sorts of sexual lifestyles and experiences that you have ever or maybe never thought of. If you are an audio voyeur this podcast is for you. She will not disappoint.
  • letmeplzurwife
    Leyna is awesome
    Great show and topics. She gets people to tell their stories. My only wish is that she would double the length of episodes. Leyna you rock!
  • Googamonkey
    Love this show
    Always a good listen. She covers the topics in an interesting and thoughtful format.
  • Taz-Fl
    Podcast overall
    I find the subjects informative and entertaining. My problem with this show is the length of the episode. In my opinion the shows are too short and could be extended to at least an hour.
  • Steve3757
    Fun listen
    Leyna’s podcast is a fun listen. She is able to take taboo topics and make them fun for all. Her interview skills bring out the information in a light and humorous fashion, recommend for curious adults.
  • Soul Folk
    The Best Sex Podcast Ever!
    Leyna Nguyen and her show Consenting Adults is one of the best sex health and relationships podcast out today. She is a great interviewer and host and lets people express and discuss what used to be considered awkward or taboo conversations. As more couples start to discuss ethically non-monogamous and polyamory lifestyles, this show is on the current vibe of America's sex positive perspective.
  • Ricki Rick
    Must Add!!
    This is an incredibly revealing podcast. Leyna tackles sexual wellness, fetish and kink topics that range from taboo to misunderstood. I am perpetually fascinated, excited or frighteningly aroused by each episode!!!

    Leyna’s Podcast is a Gem for the Community
    Anyone interested in the kinkier side of consensual adult life knows that there are a variety of podcasts and materials through which to learn as well as share and evolve relationships. When I heard that Leyna Nguyen was developing this podcast, knowing her industry credentials well as an Angelen@ who had watched her lead the CBS news for years, I was intrigued but also a little skeptical. “Oh, here we go,” I first thought, “a mainstream journalist capturing attention and making a spectacle of folks’ erotic lives…as Joni Mitchell put it: sex sells.” Well, the society is the society but I’m happy to state that I believe that my first fears were wrongly attributed here. In fact, as many other reviewers have stated, Leyna’s professionalism is a huge positive in this regard and allows for a dynamic and depth to the dialogues that just feels…positive, interesting, and lifestyle affirmative. Moreover, the feel of the podcast for me is not that of a news journalist on a mission to capture objective adult stories, but rather someone who has played that role in an award-winning fashion but who is here instead letting her hair down a little and exploring these ideas and practices in a real, curious and playful way. Getting to know more about Leyna in the process is not a small part of the fun of all this as well! A powerful woman indeed! Wow. Keep up the great work!

    You WON’T be disappointed but you will be surprised!
    Leyna does an amazing job navigating the various aspects of the “lifestyle”. She has an uncanny way of asking the exact questions I have! I appreciate her candor and sense of humor. I definitely recommend this podcast! -H
  • Naughty Gym
    Much needed professionalism!
    Leyna is a fantastic interviewer. We event confessed some things on her show that we hadn't been open about in the past. I think she may have used voodoo on us, not sure. At any rate, give this show a listen. It's informative, captivating, and does a great job of treating sex positivity with the respect it deserves! April and Scott, Naughty Gym
  • Jewels - The Making of a Woman
    Great Sense of Humor and Engaging
    Leyna expertly created a fun yet safe space for us to talk. Without a sliver of judgment, she asked pertinent questions and delicately inquired about a world she knew little about. I found it very easy to engage with her. She has a great sense of humor and I truly enjoyed our conversation both on and off the air. - Jewels

    Hot Topics and Asking the Right Questions
    I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Leyna. She is engaging, professional, and entertaining. There are so many great episodes but my favorite so far was her latest with Author, FemDom, and Bodybuilder - Jewels. That was so fascinating to learn more about her story and Leyna asked all the right questions. Can’t wait to hear more podcasts. Definitely tuning in for more!!
  • AceBeamish
    Fascinating content courtesy of a fabulous interviewer
    Leyna has all the tools that make this podcast so compelling: She is a gifted interviewer who develops natural rapport with her guests, she has a journalist’s insatiable curiosity, and she appreciates the remarkable spectrum of human behavior. Put all that together and you get the podcast we have here—one that is a huge breath of fresh air and a must-listen for so many. Keep up the amazing work, Leyna!
  • xJonnyacex

  • WisGuy44
    Thank you
    Started listening to your podcast a week ago and can't stop listening. Very interesting and informative content. Thank you so much for putting this out there and for opening up the minds of people that are interested in this topic
  • asdfjkñ
    Great Content
    Leyna’s insight into the lifestyle is both titillating / entertaining, but also a real eye opener into how people in the lifestyle can really have long, fulfilling, honest, and exciting marriages without having to pretend to be someone they are not, or to sacrifice their personal happiness.
  • horacio1976

    Kenya thank you for your great interviews and insight into this new world for us. We listen and are amazed at what the fantastic sex world and kink that is unfolding for us.
  • Samson Ite
    Phenomenal Host, Content & Series
    My wife and I started from Ep #1 and are currently listening through the series, now approaching Ep #40. Every single episode has some takeaway that we had not considered, have had some discussion after listening or problems that could arise without thinking them through. It is a game-changer to hear of these points before they come up in our dynamic. As we were listening through the series, Leyna actually contacted US to interview US about OUR lifestyle. We were blown ok away and honored to be a part of the series. As an interviewer, from our first hand experience, she is second to none. Every single bit of the interest, friendly, sometimes flirty conversation is legit and organic. There are no games and/or editing tricks and she put together an amazing episode. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone that is in the lifestyle, considering it or is just curious about it.
  • The Big Wth
    STOP 🛑
    The host have the habit of over talking the guest and completing their thoughts like she’s been in their bedroom!! STOP IT and let the guests tell their story without your interpretations!!
  • Shane Fringe
    Great Podcast for the Curious and Open Minded
    My wife and I really enjoy this podcast. Leyna has such a diverse group of guests that run the gamit of interests and kinks. She shows a genuine aceptance and curiousity for the various topics, asks great questions, and leads the conversation in ways that allow the guests to share their passions. Whether you're looking for information to help guide your own sexual journey or just want to voyeuristically peek in on what other consenting adults are up to in the bedroom, this podcast is for you. Definitely check it out!

    A podcast like no other!
    This review is long overdue!! I haven’t been a listening for too long, but I sure have enjoyed 95% of the episodes thus far. If you are looking for a podcast that will entertain you and inform you and help you grow in your sexuality you have come across the right podcast. Being that she works or has worked as a reporter makes it better than any other podcast I have ever listened to. There are some good ones out there, so no knock on them, but she is simple GREAT! She doesn’t have fluff in her show that you are sitting through for the first 10 mins. The intro let’s you know if at all will you connect with the podcast. And my God, her way of getting the story out. She ask the questions and guess what?! She allows them to talk with no interruption. She knows how to direct the interview. I couldn’t be happy, well maybe. If she was able to pump out more than one episode a week, but that’s just me being greedy because it is that good. I will end with this, with her podcast it has helped us identify who we are and how to navigate a lot of scenarios. Thank you for all you do, and to many many more episodes!
  • interested jack
    Informative, sexy, and entertaining
    The show is informative, sexy, and entertaining! Thank you!
  • Kelli463
    Excellent podcast
    The openness and enthusiasm of the host is refreshing and wonderful to listen to. She is so curious and excited to learn. The sex positive space Leyna creates for her guests makes you feel like you get to peek in on a conversation between friends. The brief time limit makes this an easy yet informative listen. Highly recommend.
  • Quoin33
    Excellent
    I happened upon this podcast while driving to a long distance meeting and was immediately impressed not only with how interesting the various topics were, but with Leyna’s “ easy” dialogue with her guests….she makes each podcast seem as tho you’re talking to a friend and simply curious to know more…..I listened to a least 20 episodes on my trip and will now and forever be a “ Consenting Adults” addict…..)
  • Spingurl818
    So detailed!!!
    I’m a huge fan of these podcast and Leyna. While this lifestyle is not for everyone, it’s interesting to explore how others live in this lifestyle! They’re actually very educational and the stories are funny and wild! Thank you for bringing these podcast to us!
  • SoCal49erfan
    Fascinating exploration of private worlds.
    This podcast explores adult behavior and intimacy. It is very interesting and covers topics in a mature and entertaining manner. Leyna is terrific.
  • MayoGreg
    Love these Podcasts
    Most if not all of the swinging is not for me at all, but theses podcasts are entertaining as heck. Leyna is very engaging and asks a lot of great questions. As someone that is just curious as to how these people meet and how the everything works, it’s solid listening for a lurker like myself.
