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?
