It’s time to clear the air, and maybe burst a few egos along the way!

In this episode Pinky & Ava get real about one of the most frustrating misconceptions in the non-monogamous world — that being open means being easy......Spoiler alert: We Don't "F@(k" Everybody!!!

The ladies share some cringe-worthy, hilarious, and downright annoying stories of people who thought “non-monogamous” was code for “no standards.” From awkward assumptions to bold propositions, they set the record straight on what it really means to be selective — even when you live life outside the lines.

If you’ve ever been misunderstood in your open relationships — or just want to hear some entertaining tea — cozy up and press play. Pajamas optional… standards required.

What happens when your non-monogamy is no longer a secret?

In this episode, we go deeper with Mr. and Mrs. Jones of the We Gotta Thing Podcast to unpack the emotional journey of being outed to their church (and family)—and how they handled it with grace, honesty, and strength.

We share our own fears around exposure and talk about how to prepare for conversations you might never want to have.

Whether you’re out loud or staying low-key, this episode is filled with tools, perspective, and solidarity.

In this double bonus episode of Three Shades of Grey, Anthony shares the summer plans for the crew and takes you inside his first-ever Splash Mocha, an interracial and hot wife hotel takeover in Atlanta, Georgia. While he couldn’t make it with his wife Pinky or girlfriend Ava (thanks to #MomLife and a preference for smaller scenes), he experienced it all with his babygirl, Bree.

Anthony sits down with Socrates of The Bull Brotherhood and Michael C. of Keys and Anklets to unpack their Splash Mocha experiences, the interracial hotwife lifestyle, and their perspectives as podcasters in the space.

Real talk, real connections—don’t miss it!

The girls are back in their jammies and this time they’ve brought a special guest—Dragonfly returns for another round of real, raw, and playful conversation.

In this episode, Pinky, Ava, and Dragonfly dive deep into the delicious topic of pleasure: from the power of self-connection to the fun of toys, and why prioritizing intimate time with yourself is more than just self-care—it’s self-celebration.

So grab your favorite toy (or take notes for later), because after this episode, you won’t have homework… you’ll have homeplay.

In this powerful episode of Three Shades Deeper, we sit down with the incomparable Cindy Gallop—advertising icon, entrepreneur, and founder of the groundbreaking platform MakeLoveNotPorn (https://makelovenotporn.tv). Known for speaking boldly about sex, Cindy shares how she “accidentally” got into porn—not the industry, but the mission to revolutionize how we think about it.

Dating younger men led Cindy to discover a troubling gap between porn fantasy and real-world sex. Frustrated by the lack of practical, healthy sex education, she took action by launching MakeLoveNotPorn—a site that showcases real people having real sex, for the purpose of education, not titillation.

We dive into:
• Cindy’s origin story and what inspired her to create a sex-positive business
• The disconnect between mainstream porn and intimate reality
• The role of MakeLoveNotPorn in normalizing open conversations around sex
• How we can all be part of changing the narrative

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about sextech, intimacy, and reshaping the way we talk about sex in the digital age.
