Ever wondered what it’s really like to go to a s*x or lifestyle club for the first time — and how to make sure it’s a positive, pressure-free experience?
In this week’s Let’s Talk Polyamory Podcast episode, I went live on location at the Mermaid Lounge (attached to the X-Club) just outside Toronto with Event Host Amy!
Together, they explore what it’s like to visit a lifestyle space — from the vibe and etiquette to safety, consent, and connection — and take you on an tour of the newly renovated lounge and club.
They also share practical insights for how to:
⚡️Plan your visit before you go (what to wear, what to bring, and what to talk about with your partner)
💬 Create a plan for check-ins during the night — so you can navigate any emotions or unexpected moments with care
💞 Debrief after your visit and use aftercare to strengthen connection
🚫 Avoid common first-timer pitfalls around expectations and consent
Whether you’re curious, nervous, or simply exploring new sides of your s*xuality, this episode will help you feel prepared, confident, and secure walking into your first (or next) lifestyle event.

And if you’re local — join T&A at the Mermaid Lounge on December 10 for their live talk: The 7-Step Securely Non-Monogamous Framework, where they’ll dive even deeper into communication, jealousy, and relationship design in non-monogamy.
