    Sexual Confidence After Shame EP 771

    Steve V. and Kodi are back in studio for a fun, sexy Pride Week follow-up conversation. Steve and Kodi continue the Pride Week conversation by asking: What happens when sex stops feeling shameful and starts feeling like yours? The hosts talk about entering their shameless era — becoming more confident, more direct, and more honest about what turns them on. The hosts talk about the founder of Nasty Pig, David Lauterstein and embracing his Daddy era and his nudge to his fellow men of a certain age to get out and just be confident wherever you are... From flirting and DMs to hookups, attraction, confidence, and knowing what you want, Steve and Kodi explore how sex changes as gay men get older. They discuss the difference between youthful sexual energy and earned sexual confidence — and why getting older can actually make you bolder, sexier, and less apologetic. The conversation gets into what they’re no longer embarrassed about, what turns them on now, and how confidence itself may be the ultimate kink. Plus: Pride, aging, desire, directness, daddy energy, and the freedom of no longer needing to be everyone’s fantasy. Hot Topic: Mateo Lane breaks silence on splitting with husband and boyfriend Hot Topic: Frankie Grande on his new memoir and how he related to Superman...the hosts relate Advice: Exploring exhibitionism... Advice: Should I go to a leather/nudist party alone...

    From Shame to Shameless EP 770

    It’s Pride Week, and we’re talking about belonging — not just to a community, but to ourselves as gay men. We ask: When did sex stop feeling shameful and start feeling freeing? Steve, Kodi, and Sebastian explore how gay bars, Pride, hookups, leather spaces, chosen family, and queer community helped shape their confidence. The hosts get honest about sexual shame, body image, desire, kink, aging, and the pressure to be “desirable” in gay spaces. We discuss how getting older can bring a deeper, sexier confidence — knowing what you want, what you don’t, and no longer apologizing for either. Plus: the beauty and complexity of Pride — celebration, protest, flirtation, connection, and yes, a little shamelessness. A conversation about sex without apology, community without exclusion, and aging into queer power. Hot Topic: Do gays really walk fast and why? Studies show this can also be healthy Hot Topic: Broadway Bares just wrapped supporting HIV and AIDS. Sebastian recounts his time on the sexy stage... Hot Topic: Billy Porter gets real about Fire Island and the infamous 'meat rack'.... Hot Topic: Pornhub: What are we looking up on the platform....the stats are out for Pride...
