    From Darkroom Lust to Dawn Romance: Gay Love After the Grind EP 736

    What if falling in love didn’t start with dinner? What if it started in a club, in a blur of bodies — and still became something real? Many gay men’s relationships don’t start with courtship — they start with attraction and physical contact (e.g., hookups on Grindr, at bars, in clubs). The hosts share how they met their partners... In the movie 'Paris: 5:59' Théo and Hugo meet literally mid-sexual encounter — and from that physical meeting comes emotional curiosity. Does this mirror gay experiences — meeting someone in a wild context and discovering a real connection? The hosts share how physical can turn to emotional and how to keep that alive... Hot Topic: Stonewall Pride flag is back up with new legislation to keep it up plus celebrities talk about the meaning of the Pride flag Hot Topic: Austin Wolf shaves off 4 years of his sentencing... Hot Topic: A new study says that young college students check their phone during sex! Hot Topic: The Winter Olympics village has a shortage of condoms...

Hot Topic: How to prepare for a first date Hot Topic: Is lingerie for gay men hot right now? Hot Topic: What do Ricky Martin and Kid Rock share? They were both born in 1971!

    Bigorexia, GLP-1s and; The Gay Gaze: When Perfect Isn’t Enough EP 730

    We breakdown how some gay men are obsessed with being bigger based on a recent mini-doc "Behind the Bulk: The Hidden World of Gay Men on Steroids" The hosts share their own stories on their bodies, working out and how that has affected dating and more... “If anorexia is the terror of not being thin enough, swolexia is the terror of not being big enough,” narratively describing how these mirror anxieties function as opposite poles of the same disorder. In the gay community, these pressures can be intensified by the gay look: muscular, lean, polished, photographed — a perceived currency in social/romantic markets. Some clinicians and community members argue that muscle dysmorphia has become one of the most significant body image issues impacting gay men, almost like a parallel crisis to HIV/AIDS in its psychological and social impact. We discuss... Advice: We offer advice related to today's topic on whether or not someone should go on dates if they are struggling with body image? Hot Topic: What are some red flags guys in their 50's should look out for when going on dates? Hot Topic: It's all things "Heated Rivalry" - The show that keeps on giving...

    Back in the Locker Room: Queer Sexual Culture, History, and Our Meetups EP 729

    Queerty collected a range of reader replies about locker-room encounters among men — showing sexual play in communal spaces has been part of queer culture lore. These spaces historically served as both physical and emotional zones where queer desire could surface when other options were limited. Have any of you ever felt that gyms/saunas were more than just physical spaces — maybe sites of connection, tension, or curiosity? How does queer sexual culture shape identity and memory for you? The difference between connection with meaning vs. just seeking physical moments. The hosts share whether or not sex came first or queer friendship? The hosts share unique early experiences of sex and friendship... Whether we’re talking about queer cruising culture or modern meetups, it’s really about how we show up for connection — and how that shapes who we are. Hot Topic: Karamo Brown doesn't show up to promote final season of Queer Eye....we dig into the drama... Hot Topic: Dr. Andre K wants us all to know what's really in our poppers and what it's doing to us... Hot Topic: 17 male hockey players have come out as gay but none of them are NHL... Hot Topic: Drag Queen Lauren Banal went viral for Erika Kirk rendition and now is using her platform to raise money for ACLU Advice: They went on a dinner date and he realized he had already chatted with him on a more sexual site before... Advice: When you don't drink can you still have fun at the club?
