About PL101
Education without
shame or shortcuts.
Pineapple Lifestyle 101 is an adult education and support community for people exploring swinging, ethical non-monogamy and consensual non-monogamy.
Knowledge gives people better choices. Community helps them use it.
Consent is individualNo relationship label or partner can replace a person’s own yes.
Health information is not shameSpecific, respectful conversations protect people better than stigma.
Experience does not create entitlementNewcomers and veterans owe one another the same respect.
Education should show its workResearch, community practice and PL101 teaching frameworks are identified honestly.

PL101 grew from a Facebook education community into a resource library, a collection of books and playbooks, and a shared language for safer, clearer conversations. The community now serves more than 56,000 members while keeping its original purpose: educate, support and empower adults without turning curiosity into shame.
What PL101 is—and is not
PL101 offers general education and community discussion. It is not a hookup service and does not replace individualized medical, legal or mental-health care.
