Sexual Confidence After Shame EP 771

from Talk About Gay Sex TAGSPODCAST · host Stephen V.Rodriguez

Steve V. and Kodi are back in studio for a fun, sexy Pride Week follow-up conversation. Steve and Kodi continue the Pride Week conversation by asking: What happens when sex stops feeling shameful and starts feeling like yours? The hosts talk about entering their shameless era — becoming more confident, more direct, and more honest about what turns them on. The hosts talk about the founder of Nasty Pig, David Lauterstein and embracing his Daddy era and his nudge to his fellow men of a certain age to get out and just be confident wherever you are... From flirting and DMs to hookups, attraction, confidence, and knowing what you want, Steve and Kodi explore how sex changes as gay men get older. They discuss the difference between youthful sexual energy and earned sexual confidence — and why getting older can actually make you bolder, sexier, and less apologetic. The conversation gets into what they’re no longer embarrassed about, what turns them on now, and how confidence itself may be the ultimate kink. Plus: Pride, aging, desire, directness, daddy energy, and the freedom of no longer needing to be everyone’s fantasy. Hot Topic: Mateo Lane breaks silence on splitting with husband and boyfriend Hot Topic: Frankie Grande on his new memoir and how he related to Superman...the hosts relate Advice: Exploring exhibitionism...
