    EP 800: 800 Episodes of Gay Sex! How We've Changed, Grown & Evolved

    How PrEP has transformed gay sex, sexual freedom, and our attitudes toward HIV prevention. How our own sexual identities, desires, and confidence have evolved. Changing perspectives on monogamy, open relationships, jealousy, and communication. What we've learned about love, intimacy, and what we really want from a partner. Body image, aging, sexual roles, and the freedom to reinvent ourselves at any age. The ways gay culture, dating apps, and our community have changed since 2017. Why personal growth sometimes means challenging beliefs we once held about sex and relationships. What the future might hold for gay sexuality and the conversations we still need to have. After 800 episodes, one thing is clear: Our sexuality isn't static, our relationships continue to evolve, and there's always more to discover about ourselves and each other.
