Wanderlust Swingers – A Swinger Podcast & Hotwife Lifestyle Stories
EP204 – Cap d’Agde: A UK Swingers Experience
Is Cap d’Agde the ultimate swingers paradise... or an overhyped nudist town with overpriced rosé and questionable club decor?
We’re diving into France’s infamous "Naked City" with first-timers Ben & Kate from the UK—sharing what it’s really like to strip down, party hard, and play freely in one of the world’s most iconic non-monogamous travel destinations.
From body confidence wobbles to naked grocery runs, group foam party flings, and boundary-testing solo play, this episode is equal parts hilarious, sexy, and honest AF.
Stick around for the segments:
Hot Seat Quickies – foam or finesse? Nudity or nightlife? Sexy surprises and flirty regrets.
Guess Who: Cap d’Agde Edition – is that a mesh thong and too much cologne, or are we imagining things?
Prison Wallets & Pool Parties – yes, that’s a thing. Yes, we explain it. No, you won’t forget it.
The Moose Party & Babylon Vibes – what to expect, what to pack, and why you might never want to leave.
Tips for Cap First-Timers – boundaries, blunders, solo moments, sneaky threesomes, and finding your tribe (while naked).
Whether you're Cap-curious, dreaming of your first naked beach walk, or just here for the stories of awkward sex club tunnels and golden body jewelry envy—this episode delivers everything you didn’t read on the Cap d’Agde travel forums.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Solo Hotwife Play Date
Wanderlust Swingers – A Swinger Podcast & Hotwife Lifestyle Stories
EP202 – Solo Hotwife Play Date: From Lingerie Nerves to a CU-soaked Finish
Welcome to a juicy bonus episode of Wanderlust Swingers! In this unscheduled, unfiltered conversation, Cate takes us behind the scenes of her most recent solo hotwife play date—a sexy, nerve-wracking, pounding-filled night that left everyone hot, wet, and just a little bit awkward.
From lingerie mishaps to ben wa balls, awkward flirting to explosive orgasms, this episode is a raw (sometimes hilariously chaotic) look at what it’s really like to go on a solo hotel date with a single guy. Darrell weighs in with his thoughts on compersion, the thrill of being included before and after, and what it's like when your partner comes home smelling like someone else’s cologne.
Plus, a listener question dives into whether solo play still counts if it's only with people you've previously played with—and how to handle that tricky dynamic when it feels like freedom with limitations.
In This Episode:
🔹 The real logistics of setting up a hotwife solo date
🔹 How it feels to include your partner without them being there
🔹 Play anxiety, body compliments, and sensual 69s
🔹 The five-hour play session, the pounding, and the cum-soaked ending
🔹 Why this listener’s question about “controlled solo play” hits close to home
🔹 Red vs Black lingerie: how to ruin a sexy setup in two sentences
🔹 Reclaiming sex or just raw excitement?

In this episode, Cate and Darrell dive into the psychology and practicality of spontaneous vs. responsive desire — and how this can make or break your experiences in the lifestyle. Whether you're the one who’s ready to go at the first flash of lingerie or someone who needs the right mood, connection, or even lunch before feeling sexy, we explore what it all means for swingers navigating clubs, hotel takeovers, and multi-day events.
We also update you on the notorious dildo from the last episode — yes, Cate used it. Was it sexy? Science-y? Did it cause a UTI? (Spoiler: yes to all of the above). Plus, you’ll hear about Cate’s surprise visit to a Canadian club, her puffed-up chipmunk face courtesy of the Dutch healthcare system, and a viral Facebook video that got her slapped with a ‘bullying’ violation. You can’t make this stuff up.
Finally, we tackle a fantastic listener question: Why are we pickier on dating sites than in real life? Is it about spontaneity, judgment, or just too many filters?

EP198 – Cap D Agde Desires, What’s in the Box and How to Small Talk
Cate’s fresh back from Miami (just her this time!) and while we only touch on that wild weekend, we’re diving deep into what’s really heating things up: our return to Cap d’Agde in 2025, a brand new sex toy, and Darrell’s spicy fantasy.
In this episode, Darrell receives a mystery box that leaves Cate both suspicious and very curious. Spoiler alert: it’s a new toy — but it’s not one we’ve ever used before. Unboxing it live kicks off a conversation about impulse sexy buys, techy pleasure, and how this toy might play into fantasy fufillment.
We’re also answering a great listener question from a hotwife couple in New Zealand: How do you make small talk in the lifestyle when talking about work and kids feels out of place? From flirting in loud clubs to deep connection at weekend events, we’ve got practical tips, sexy one-liners, and a few hilarious fails to share.
And finally — we’re going back to the Naked City! Cap d’Agde 2025 is on the horizon and we’re already fantasizing about beachside play, group massages, and balcony sex in the hot Mediterranean sun. This isn’t just a trip — it’s a sexual state of mind.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
Mystery Box Reveal: Darrell’s new toy arrives and Cate’s imagination runs wild
Lifestyle Small Talk: Flirty questions, fun energy, and how to connect without asking about someone’s 9–5
Cap d’Agde Desires: Why we’re going back and what (or who) we want to do when we get there
Darrell’s Fantasy: How we're fulfilling it without putting anyone at risk
Be A Better Swinger Tips: Mindset matters — whether it’s packing for Cap or chatting up couples at a club

Rediscovering Soft Swap at a Swingers Club Fun4Two Netherlands
Wanderlust Swingers – A Swinger Podcast & Hotwife Lifestyle Stories
Cate and Darrell revisit soft swap play for the first time in seven years — and it happened at none other than Fun4Two, the iconic swingers club in the Netherlands. What started as a night out turned into a wildly sensual experience filled with connection, chemistry, a six-handed massage… and yes, some cum on the floor.
We explore the dynamics of soft swap play, the assumptions people make about it, and whether full swap couples are missing out by skipping over these intimate encounters. Cate also makes a hilarious faux pas, and offers a boss-level club tour move, and together they reflect on how chemistry can totally eclipse categories.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
🔹 The Night at Fun4Two: From flirting at the bar to hands-on tantra and one unforgettable group experience
🔹 Soft Swap Revisited: Why it felt complete, hot, and unexpectedly fulfilling — even without PIV
🔹 Redefining the Rules: Thoughts on how vague soft swap definitions can create confusion and missed connections
🔹 Club Tips: How to stand out in a room full of lingerie and boots
🔹 Red Flags, Green Flags & Play Pitfalls: Advice for newbies and seasoned swingers alike
🔹 Listener Reflections: Juicy comments from the community about the pros and cons of soft swap dynamics
Plus, life updates! Cate’s heading to Miami, Darrell’s off to South Korea, and someone just turned 40… but we’re not talking about that, okay?
