EP224 – STI Testing for Swingers: What “Recently Tested” Really Means

What does “recently tested” actually mean when you’re a swinger, hotwife, single dater or practicing ethical non-monogamy? And does a negative STI test really tell you everything you think it does?

For Sexual Health Awareness Month, Cate is joined by Alan and Angela, founders of STD Hero, for a conversation about STI testing for swingers, MGen, oral gonorrhea, testing windows, site specific testing and the sexual health conversations we probably need to be having more often.

Did you know September is Sexual Health Awareness Month?!

Alan and Angela also share what they’re seeing through STD Hero’s own testing data, why they decided to include MGen in every STI panel, and why their positivity data has raised some interesting questions about infections such as oral gonorrhea.

And because sexual health is about far more than avoiding an infection, we get into communication, confidence, sexual wellness, talking openly about fantasies and desires, and why better sexual-health conversations can actually enable people to have more informed and pleasurable adventures.

EP223 – Hotwife Solo in Cap D’Agde: What Happens When I Go Alone

What happens when a hotwife heads to Cap d’Agde alone? In this episode, Cate shares her wild solo trip to France’s famous swingers and naturist village, from fucking at the foam party and partying naked to inviting a single guy to stay for two nights.

There are three-lady blowjobs on the dance floor, surprise friends from Toronto, stolen shoes, late-night chaos, plenty of fisting and some very sexy firsts. We also unpack the hotwife dynamic, compersion, sleeping beside another man for the first time, sending Darrell updates from afar and what happens when your partner isn’t there to share the experience.

Whether you're curious about Cap d’Agde, hotwifing, solo play or swingers travel, this is a very honest look at what can happen when one half of a couple goes off to play alone.

After 11 years on Apple Podcasts, we’ve suddenly been removed from the US Apple directory and we’re still trying to figure out why

We also share a real update on shooting our shot in the lifestyle after sending 13 messages to potential matches on SDC. We break down the results (including ghosting statistics), and debate whether people actually owe a “no thank you” response on dating sites

Plus, a kink guessing game based on Cosmopolitan’s list of 55 kinks, and a fascinating story out of Nevada where workers at a legal brothel are attempting to unionize over controversial contract terms involving likeness and content rights

In this episode, we dive into a lifestyle topic that sparks massive debate: playroom etiquette and the “grey areas” that aren’t written in the rules.

We share a real experience from Fata Morgana (Netherlands) where another couple began having sex very close to us (around 20cm) in a small open playroom. No rules were broken, nobody touched anyone… but the vibe shifted fast, mainly due to proximity and intense watching.

That led to the real question:

We also share highlights from the Reddit discussion (yes, some people roasted us), unpack the difference between rules vs social awareness, and give practical advice for navigating open play spaces when everyone’s boundaries are different.

Plus: Cate’s upcoming Bliss Cruise hotwife adventure, and our latest attempt at making new local lifestyle friends (with very Dutch planning timelines).

- Playroom etiquette vs “grey area” social awareness

- Parallel play, proximity, and when it feels invasive

- Why eye contact can change the dynamic fast

- Reddit reactions: “technically allowed but socially tone-deaf” vs “open room means accept it”

- Newbie advice: you can’t control others, only your response

- Cate’s Bliss Cruise plans with Mallory (two hotwives on the loose)

- Unicorn/hotwife dynamics + messages on the Bliss app

- Seasickness tips wanted + the drink package debate

- Finding new swinger friends: Cate sent 13 local messages and is tracking replies

Cate will be sailing on the April 2026 Bliss Cruise, including the beach parties in Jamaica and Cozumel.
