About this episode

Our first sex-club weekend is almost here.Before heading to Toronto for the Naughty Gym takeover, we sat down separately to answer the questions about what we want, what scares us, what feels exciting, and what might still be too far. Then we shared our answers with each other for the first time.We talk through why we are going, what would make the weekend feel successful, and what we are each hoping to learn about ourselves. We also get specific about flirting, nudity, public sex, parallel play, soft swap, watching each other interact with other people, and the line between curiosity and readiness.The biggest surprise was not how different our answers were. It was how closely they aligned.This is less a list of what is “allowed” and more a protocol for protecting our relationship while giving ourselves enough freedom to explore. We discuss how we will check in, what happens if one of us changes our mind, why the pace of the slowest person matters, and how we can push our boundaries without racing toward a particular outcome.We also ask ChatGPT to analyze our answers—partly to see whether Roz sounds genuinely enthusiastic and partly to find out what Max’s answers reveal about him. The results get unexpectedly personal.In this episodeA vasectomy, a Brazilian wax, and 200 podcast downloadsWhy Toronto feels different from our previous lifestyle experiencesGreen lights, yellow lights, and current red lightsWhat our answers reveal about confidence, belonging, and identityWhy friendship continues to matter more to us than collecting sexual experiencesResources and places mentionedNaughty Gym Toronto Takeoverhttps://www.tickettailor.com/events/naughtygym/2109578X Clubhttps://thexclub.net/Mermaid Loungehttps://mermaidlounge.ca/Partnership Lab’s pre-event conversation frameworkComing SoonErika Lust Viewing RecommendationsThe Nine Delights - https://erikalust.com/film/the-nine-delights-swinger-feastHot Power Couple - https://erikalust.com/film/hot-power-coupleJoin the conversationWhat conversations do you have before trying something new together?
