Firefly - The Truth About Gay Sex, Shame, and Connection

from Mask Off for Masc with Vance · host Vance

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I chat with Firefly Tantra, who works with men using the practice of Tantra. He breaks down what sessions with clients actually look like, how Tantra compares to somatic sex coaching, and where the two overlap. We talk about dealing with shame when it shows up during sex—something we’ve both seen in our own lives and in our work. We also get into body image and how, in the gay community, there’s a lot of pressure to look perfect, even though looking good doesn’t necessarily mean you’re great in bed. We touch on substance use during sex, and how if we really want deeper connections, it might be time to start practicing social skills in real life instead of relying on the apps. Toward the end, we talk about open relationships and share some of our own experiences with them.You can find Firefly on social mediaInstagram: @fireflytantraLike, Comment, and SubscribeFollow the podcast on Instagram @maskoffformasc
