Playboy’s Swing Season 2
by Jason Stotts I found out recently from Kasidie that Playboy TV is currently having a casting call for new people for the second season of their reality TV show “Swing.” I talked about it briefly in February (link), but I think it’s grew that Playboy is trying to show swinging in a realistic light [...]
Sexual Distinctions: Candaulism, Cuckold, Threesomes
by Jason Stotts In this post, I want to draw some distinctions between different, but somewhat similar, sexual practices. Candaulism Candaulism is a term that comes to us from the Greek myth of King Candaules. In the myth, the king surreptitiously reveals his wife to one of his ministers. The sexual practice, then, is when [...]
Letter from a Reader
by Jason Stotts I rarely get comments on my blog. Even more rarely do I get letters from readers. Thus, sometimes I feel like I’m writing Erosophia for myself, like I have no readers. Not that I actually believe it, since I know that I actually have thousands, but that I get burnt out on [...]
Life on the Swingset
by Jason Stotts Life on the Swingset is a blog and podcast website dedicated to getting good information out there about what it’s really like to be a swinger and on issues related to this. In an effort to expand the reach of Erosophia, I reached out to them about putting up some of my [...]
Playboy TV’s “Swing”

On Polysexuality (4/5)
by Jason Stotts Necessary Conditions for Morally Permissible Polysexuality The necessary conditions to morally engage in polysexuality all stem from the moral standard that we identified earlier: the good is that which improves a person’s life and happiness as well as those of his partner, while the evil is that which harms a person’s life [...]
On Polysexuality (3/5)
by Jason Stotts The Value of Polysexuality Now that we have seen polysexuality is natural, you might be tempted to stop here and insist that since it is natural, that is a sufficient reason to want to engage in it. Perhaps it is; on the other hand, naturalness is not a very compelling reason to [...]
On Polysexuality (2/5)
by Jason Stotts Isn’t Polysexuality Unnatural? Before we begin our moral analysis, we must address the claim that polysexuality is unnatural, as it is the most common objection to polysexuality and the foundation of most objections to it. However, what is the evidence that humans are naturally monosexual? That some cultures are? Others are not. [...]
On Polysexuality (1/5)
by Jason Stotts Introduction Following my essay “Contra Peikoff on Swinging,” I wanted to write a defense of “non-monogamy.” I couldn’t do it. It wasn’t the subject that was the problem; instead it was the very concept, which was particularly ill suited to my endeavors. First, it presupposes that monogamy is the standard and that [...]
