This week, Zack, Josie, and Brad sit down with Callie — a Physician Assistant who works in the ER and has seen it all — to talk about one of the most important topics in the swinger lifestyle: sexual health.

Callie breaks down what everyone in the lifestyle should know about STI prevention, testing, and risk management. She explains how your risk isn’t just about your behavior, but also the behavior of your partners — and why trust, responsibility, and regular testing are essential for keeping everyone safe.

From women’s vaginal health and condom sensitivity to UTI prevention and the realities of unprotected oral sex, the conversation covers the practical side of pleasure. Callie also sheds light on HPV, how the vaccine has evolved, and how to approach testing — whether you test with your partner or alternate schedules.

Throughout the episode, the Crew explores how understanding your own risk tolerance, staying informed, and choosing responsible play partners can make all the difference. Because in the lifestyle, good sexual health isn’t just about protection — it’s about connection, communication, and confidence.
