This Kind of Girl: UK Writer Rosie Kay on Non-Monogamy, Bisexuality & Breaking Lifestyle Stereotypes

Ethical Non-Monogamy Bisexuality Confidence & Consent Lifestyle Culture

Episode Summary

In this bold and beautifully honest episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we head across the pond to chat with UK writer, educator, and ethical non-monogamy coach Rosie Kay, the voice behind thiskindagirl.co.uk.

Rosie pulls back the curtain on what it really means to live ethically non-monogamous in today's world—far beyond the clichés of "swingers in suburbia." From discovering her bisexuality in her teens to finding freedom (and a few fears) in London's clubs, Rosie shares how she turned curiosity, courage, and COVID downtime into one of the UK's most refreshingly honest lifestyle blogs.

Together, we dive into bisexuality without shame, breaking stereotypes, emotional honesty and the art of giving consent even when you're not directly involved, plus the cultural contrasts between the UK and US lifestyle scenes. This one's for anyone navigating open relationships or the messy-beautiful reality of non-monogamy in 2025 and beyond.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
