What happens when you date three dominant men — blindfolded — and one of them is your ex?
In this episode of Come Talk with Aimee, I sit down with Amanda, The Kink Consultant, and producer/host Catherine Drysdale to go behind the scenes of The Ex Factor, the bold live show where kink, chemistry, and past relationships collided on stage.
We get into why Amanda said yes, how Catherine brought it to life, and what it means to center desire and sexual preferences in dating.
Raw. Playful. Provocative. This is The Ex Factor, unmasked.
