Wanderlust Swingers – A Swinger Podcast & Hotwife Lifestyle Stories EP199 – Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire in the Swingers Lifestyle In this episode, Cate and Darrell dive into the psychology and practicality of spontaneous vs. responsive desire — and how this can make or break your experiences in the lifestyle. Whether you're the one who’s ready to go at the first flash of lingerie or someone who needs the right mood, connection, or even lunch before feeling sexy, we explore what it all means for swingers navigating clubs, hotel takeovers, and multi-day events. We also update you on the notorious dildo from the last episode — yes, Cate used it. Was it sexy? Science-y? Did it cause a UTI? (Spoiler: yes to all of the above). Plus, you’ll hear about Cate’s surprise visit to a Canadian club, her puffed-up chipmunk face courtesy of the Dutch healthcare system, and a viral Facebook video that got her slapped with a ‘bullying’ violation. You can’t make this stuff up. Finally, we tackle a fantastic listener question: Why are we pickier on dating sites than in real life? Is it about spontaneity, judgment, or just too many filters? What you’ll hear in this episode: The Dildo Debrief – Cate puts the giant toy to the test (with help) and shares the honest, messy aftermath Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire – What it means, how to spot it in yourself or your partner, and how it plays out at lifestyle events Desire Mismatches – What to do when one partner is ready to pounce and the other needs time to warm up Listener Q&A – Why are we all trolls online?

Wanderlust Swingers – A Swinger Podcast & Lifestyle Stories 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.
