Hotel Takeovers 101: Your Real Talk Survival Guide to the Lifestyle's Most Intoxicating Weekend

This past weekend, Adam and Pris were at a hotel takeover. Not just attending — they were there working, recording a live podcast episode in front of a room full of lifestyle people who were very much already in party mode. That full live show drops this Sunday, and trust us, you're going to want to hear it. But here's the thing about recording a live show at a hotel takeover full of beautiful, festive, very distracted humans: you don't exactly get to deliver a thoughtful breakdown of what hotel takeovers are and how to navigate them. You get energy, chaos, laughter, and moments that make for great radio — but the actual nuts-and-bolts guide? That's what this QUICKIE is for. Consider this your homework before Sunday. The real talk primer. The survival guide nobody hands you at the door. In this episode of the Beyond Monogamy QUICKIE, Adam and Pris break down everything you need to know about lifestyle hotel takeovers — fresh off of attending one themselves just this past weekend. From what they actually are, to what you should pack, to how to handle jealousy when your husband is making out with someone across the pool while you're just standing there. (Asking for a friend. The friend is Pris.) What We Cover in This Episode: What a hotel takeover actually is — and no, it's not as intimidating as it sounds. Think of it as the world's best adult sleepover. Who goes — couples, single women, and the very specific situation with single men (we keep it real on this one). What to bring — protection, lube, toys, a cooler full of snacks, your waterproof blankets, and maybe a hoodie because someone's wife is always cold. The money talk — expect $500–$800 for a full weekend, and plan for zero food on premises. DoorDash is your co-pilot. Consent, discretion, and closed doors — just because it's a takeover doesn't mean everyone is available to you. Rules still apply. Communication before, during, and after — including the debate over whether or not you need a code word (and why "figgy tree" is apparently not the answer). How to handle jealousy in the moment — spoiler: Pris has opinions, a snarky comment ready, and absolutely zero shame about it. The debrief — one of the most underrated relationship tools in the lifestyle, and why that car ride home matters more than you think. How to find hotel takeovers — SDC, local Facebook groups, Telegram, Discord, and yes, even TikTok. Listen to this one today, then tune in this Sunday for the live show recorded right there at the takeover. Two episodes. One unforgettable weekend. You're going to want both.
