Neighbors with Benefits reality show starring IM member BHMAN6

[bhman6]

Hey IM, been awhile


I was talking to Skip about a project I've been involved with the last year or so and he said I could post up some info on it to spread the good word about the show.

Long story short, my wife and I have been swingers (in the "lifestyle" for around 4 years. We got the opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking reality TV series for A&E and our first episode of 9 aired Sunday.

Our ratings were pretty good for a new show of this type, but we need to do better to hopefully get a second season. That would be LIFE CHANGING for my wife and I, and what better demographic to reach out to then my brethren in iron.

Info and trailers about the show can be found on

as well as some cool videos on YouTube

I don't post much anymore although I do lurk around quite often. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and there are probably more negative stigma and hate out there than support, but I trust the IM community to keep an open mind and hopefully show a fellow member some love by setting your DVRs

Neighbors with Benefits airs Sunday nights at 10/9c on A&E

I didn't see it on Sunday nights here; it is on Tuesday nights unless that is just a repeat. It runs at the same time as Justified so as much as I like ya, Justified gets top billing but I definitely will check out the show after Justified!

I would like to hear more about your views on this subject. For me it blows my mind, but I am interested on your thought process behind this.

I just watched it and saw you and your wife a few times but only a few seconds each time. It was a little slow and if I am being honest, I don't think they made the lifestyle look terribly appealing. It seems at least from the first episode they are setting it up to be about jealousy, dysfunction and kind of on par with a lot of the stereotypes, no?

Skip....episode 1 has to offer a variety of stimuli and draw people in

Most swingers we know are pissed it's not an infomercial haha...the funny sexy times are coming but you gotta have conflict for audience to connect to and come back for

ask anything, Im not shy


I cant divulge too much about my unique story and how it all lined up as that's part of the TV show, but I can say it wasn't a sudden decision and wasn't a result of a bad sex life, marriage, etc.

My wife realizing her bisexuality started the ball rolling, which is how a LOT of lifestyle people get started

I like how they are contrasting with the ugly, religious couple, that no one would want to bang, anyway. He didn't really "find God" as much as he had no other viable options.

more people get introduced starting this week....it time lapses to present day as the first episode took place in the past and sets up a lot of the present day scenarios

they're not the only lifestyle haters on the show, just the most outspoken
