    Sorry, Just Seeing This: Why Gay Men Ghost on Grindr EP 788

    In this episode: More hilariously vague Grindr phrases translated Why “not on here much” rarely means what it says The difference between losing interest and genuinely ghosting someone Why men initiate conversations they have no intention of continuing Whether apps provide validation even when no hookup happens The endless cycle of taps, photos, attention and disappearing Why possibility can feel more exciting than actually meeting App fatigue and the exhaustion of repetitive conversations When silence becomes disrespectful Whether brutal honesty is really better than no response Maybe sex isn’t what prevents gay men from forming meaningful connections. Maybe the real obstacle is how easily we’ve learned to treat one another as temporary squares on a screen. And remember: “Hey stranger” is not an apology. Hot Topic: Remembering Dolly and a Texas Federal judge blocks anti-drag ban while citing Dolly... Hot Topic: Tim Curry also dies the same day as Dolly who played the film version of Frank-N-Furter of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show". Hot Topic: Gay Georgia elects first Black, Gay Congressman Everton Blair Hot Topic: Good news for those living with HIV - a potential new weekly pill would replace daily pill... Advice: Do you try to not get emotionally attached to people... Thirst Trap: Which adult performer took the hottest shot of the week and why?

    What Grindr Bios Really Mean: Sex, Vibes and the Search for Connection EP 787

    In this episode: What common Grindr bios are really trying to say “Just vibes” and the language of emotional ambiguity Why sincerity on dating apps can feel suspicious The appeal—and limitations—of a Gay No Sex Weekend - actual group in the UK.... Whether sex and emotional connection actually conflict The difference between removing sex and removing pressure How gay men have historically built community in sexual spaces Why clearer communication may matter more than stricter rules Maybe gay men don’t need fewer sexual spaces. Maybe we need sexual spaces where friendship, vulnerability, romance and connection are also allowed to exist. Hot Topic: Adult Performer Christian Styles dies at 29... Hot Topic: What is dopplebanger and is it toxic? Advice: Hooked up with couple a few times but are they 'friend zoning' me now...?

    Why Are We Still So Horny for Heated Rivalry? EP 786

    Why Heated Rivalry delivers more than just steamy sex The irresistible fantasy of being sexually and emotionally obsessed with someone Why yearning may be hotter than hooking up Whether dating apps have made intense romance feel even more desirable Women enjoying gay male romance versus men consuming lesbian fantasy The difference between admiration, voyeurism and fetishization Fan art, Patreon, musicals and the expanding Heated Rivalry universe Whether pop culture has been suffering through an erotic drought Why audiences are craving sex, romance and vulnerability at the same time Maybe we aren’t merely horny for hockey players. Maybe we’re hungry for stories in which sex is fun, masculinity can be vulnerable, and the person you cannot stop wanting is also the person who cannot stop loving you. Listen now and decide: Is the hottest part the bodies, the sex, the secrecy, the rivalry, the yearning—or the love? Hot Topic: Heated Rivalry Box Set available for pre-order Hot Topic: Derek Chadwick ducks out of Goose app... Hot Topic: 21 most sexually liberal cities ranked!

    Have We All Benched Someone? Dating, Backup Boys and the Grass-Is-Greener Trap EP 785

    When does being genuinely unsure about someone become stringing him along? Are we avoiding rejection—or simply avoiding an uncomfortable conversation? Why do we sometimes want someone more the minute they start pulling away? Can you have a roster of casual guys without actually benching anybody? Have dating apps conditioned us to constantly look for the next best thing? Is being slowly benched actually worse than being ghosted? And when you finally know someone isn't right for you, do you owe him the truth? It’s funny, revealing and occasionally uncomfortable as Steve, Jeremy and Kodi admit that when it comes to dating badly, most of us probably aren't completely innocent. Because sometimes the problem isn't the guy who put us on the bench. Sometimes we're the coach. Hot Topic: New Bathhouse in Birmingham, YUMBO offers both bar for LGBTQ plus upstairs bathhouse... Hot Topic: 'The 5-Minute Crush' - a online speed dating platform... Hot Topic: Boy George and now Geno Segers Spark are the latest to be fired from upcoming theater due to their controversial statements.... Advice: Is it weird that I don't get hard at a naked pool party when the guests become handsy?
