After a wave of high-profile headlines about so-called lifestyle parties, a lot of people are confusing ethical non-monogamy with coercion and abuse. They could not be more different. In my third appearance on Please Me! with host Eve, I set the record straight.
We talk about why consent and communication are non-negotiable, the structured safety practices that real lifestyle spaces are built on (boundaries, health awareness, accountability), and how power dynamics can absolutely exist in kink while staying fully consensual. I also make the case for ENM as a source of empowerment, especially for women.
We even run a roleplay segment so you can hear what a genuine consent conversation actually sounds like. If you want the truth behind the headlines, this episode delivers it. Press play below.
