    <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Queer &amp; Kinky Couch</strong> is a bold, affirming podcast that blends therapy-informed insight with unfiltered conversation.</p>
<p>Hosted by Jerry St. Louis, CST, LICSW, and Jordan Costen, LICSW, each episode explores queer identity, kink, relationships, social media, cultural tension, and the ways shame shows up in our lives.</p>
<p>We challenge stigma, unpack pop culture, and create space for honest dialogue — without pathologizing pleasure.</p>
<p>Because healing can be smart, sexy, and a little scandalous.</p>]]></description>

<p>In this episode, we react to a real confession from someone whose partner wants an open relationship — and they’re not sure what to do.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We discuss boundaries, trust, communication, and what it really means when a relationship shifts from monogamy to non-monogamy.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nothing scripted. Just honest reactions and candid advice.
