Casual Swinger Week

Casual Swinger Week is the takeover event built around the Casual Swinger podcast, hosted by Mickey and Mallory Gordon. The podcast itself launched in 2018 and frames the lifestyle in deliberately newcomer-friendly terms — its tagline emphasizes consensual non-monogamy as something accessible to ordinary couples rather than an extreme subculture — and the takeover extends that voice into a multi-day resort format.

The event runs at Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica, the clothing-optional adults-only resort that has anchored Caribbean lifestyle travel since 1976. Casual Swinger Week typically programs themed nights, podcast meet-and-greets, structured social mixers for first-timers, and on-site interview sessions that often become later podcast episodes. The 2026 edition was scheduled for mid-March, in line with the brand's annual cadence.

The cultural positioning of Casual Swinger Week is somewhat distinct from older Hedonism takeovers. Rather than a club-night atmosphere, it leans into the podcast's documentary tone, with attendees who are often listeners first and lifestyle veterans second. That tends to produce a higher proportion of newer couples and a programming mix focused on conversation, education, and gentle introductions to play, alongside the standard takeover staples of theme nights and group dinners.
