Today, we’re stepping into a world most of us have only ever heard whispers about: the world of swingers clubs.

When she was just twenty, Jess Cattelly went on a third date that would change her life. Her date, a man named Lawrence, suggested they open a swingers club together—and she said yes.

A decade later, that club—Our Secret Spot—has become one of Australia’s most talked-about spaces for people exploring sex, desire, and connection in unconventional ways.

In this episode, Jess shares how a 20-year-old retail manager became the co-founder of a thriving sex-positive community. She opens up about what it’s really like behind closed doors, the challenges of running a swingers club, and how she’s built a business around curiosity, courage, and connection.

Whether you’re fascinated, intrigued, or just a little bit curious, this is the story of a woman who turned a wild idea into a groundbreaking reality.
