We talk about what “mostly straight” actually means, how men who identify this way describe their attractions, and what distinguishes this identity from bisexuality or homosexuality. Rich shares insights into why there are now more mostly straight young men than gay and bisexual men combined, and what cultural and generational shifts may be driving this change.We also dive into how mostly straight men navigate attraction in real life, including whether desire is emotional aesthetic or sexual, and how masculinity shapes what feels possible or acceptable to express. We explore internal conflict and stigma, respond to critiques that the label avoids queerness, and look at differences across race class and geography. Finally, we zoom out to the future, discussing how male sexual fluidity may evolve over the next decade and what parents educators and queer communities can learn from this research. This episode bridges academic insight with real-world relevance for anyone curious about how male sexuality is changing.Follow and connect at @georgecanthost on Instagram for more conversations about sex, shame, healing, and freedom. RESOURCES MENTIONEDJoin the Energy Work Membership: https://georgelizos.com/energy-work-membershipDownload the FREE Ultimate Energy Protection Toolkit audio training at https://www.subscribepage.com/energyprotectiontoolkit  Join the Can't Host Telegram group: https://t.me/+AWgYq94TARQ2ODJkGet the Can't Host T-Shirts: https://www.bonfire.com/store/canthost/ABOUT RITCH SAVIN-WILLIAMSRitch C.
