How do you tell your partner about a desire you have been keeping secret? On episode 1001 of Strictly Anonymous Confessions with host Kathy Kay, I walk through exactly that, starting with the most important step: releasing the shame first.

We cover how to use roleplay to introduce a kink, why over-communication is your best friend, and a low-pressure first move I love (going to a club without doing anything, just to feel it out). I also break down what to actually expect at a swingers club, how to set rules before you open up, and how old baggage can quietly get in the way.

Then I answer the non-monogamy questions I hear most often. If opening up has been on your mind, this is a grounded, judgment-free roadmap. Listen below.
