Description

Modern gay men are evolving sexually. There is pressure to be part of the “hook up” culture and self-identify as tops, bottoms and versatile. However, there is growing pushback of gay men who also identify as a new term called a side—a gay man who does not enjoy nor engage in anal intercourse.

Gay men remain outspoken about their erotic desires before the romance even begins to ensure being erotically matched. They are often mislabeled as “sex addicts” and sexually compulsives. Monogamy is also a discussion regarding whether or not it is right for them. Therapists often assume they know more than they do about how gay men engage in erotic and sexual play and unfortunately impose heterocentric norms as a couple. This recording will normalize the unique ways gay men talk and play sexually.
