EP219 – Bliss Cruise Review Part 1: What Really Happens on a Swingers Cruise?

After 11 years in the lifestyle, countless resorts, takeovers, and events around the world, Cate finally checked one item off the swinger bucket list: the Bliss Cruise.

Joined by Mallory, the pair share their honest first impressions of their first-ever swingers cruise experience, from cruise culture surprises and unexpected friendships to hilarious onboard characters, hotwife adventures, and a few moments of complete chaos.

In Part 1, we cover boarding day, the crowd demographics, theme parties, nightlife, the Jamaica and Cozumel beach events, and whether a swingers cruise lives up to the hype.

Plus: a wife offering her husband to us before breakfast, a self-proclaimed meteorologist, a man with superhuman stamina in the next cabin, and the best compliment we've ever received: "You're attractive, but you're weird."

EP216 – Apple Banned Us, Lifestyle Dating Ghosting, 55 Wild Kinks & Nevada Brothel Union Drama

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

EP215 – Playroom Etiquette, Grey Areas & A Hotwife Onboard the Bliss Cruise
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:
When something is technically allowed, can it still be socially tone-deaf?

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).

In This Episode
- 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
