Thanks for this short. I think for Shorts, it would be helpful if you could also share the link in the description or comment with the full podcast episode, because after watching this Short, I want to learn more about what was discussed. ☺

Lol until recently I was going round telling people how I don’t really experience anger and I find it really difficult to access it, and people describe me as laidback. This was very relatable and useful, thanks!

I definitely developed a porn addiction or compulsive relationship with porn from my first exposure to porn at the age of 7 till i was around 17 before i sort of got it under control. Definitely contributed to intimate issues and fed compulsive sexual behaviour as an adult. I was moving wild, sleeping with everyone men, women, trans - thought i was a pornstar minus the pay lol. I just wish i never got exposed to porn at such a young age, it messed me up in ways i am only now starting to unpack. Spirituality has helped me develop greater self-awareness and look inwards for validation and inner peace. I am celibate now and on a spiritual journey. Loved this podcast thank you.

Thank you guys 🤯

The philippines has an ever-increasing "ageism" problem and it doesn't look like it is going to get any better any time.

Ha! This is exactly what you taught me Matt!

I am a single gay man and i met a beautiful disabled man recently. He's such a beautiful person and i hope we can have a connection soon. He's a shy guy so i don't want to scare him off lol. He always stares at me and tries to get my attention but he is super shy too. Disabled people are wonderful people and just want to be loved like the rest of us. God Bless you guys!

Dr Evan is very good and knowledgeable, I saw him recently and now investigating my situation, his staff and Steve are polite and make me feel comfortable in the office.

Intimacy is another perk of being pretty. We ugly folks never have to agonize over half the crap you guys do. We don't have mirrors in our bedrooms, worrying about how we look from different angles. We don't obsess over sharing our feelings. We don't have to worry about intimacy, either. It's kinda hard to empathize with this. Poor you, I guess.

Vulnerability 💯

I also believe that many of us who struggle with expressing anger than to take out our anger on ourselves.

Tyler needs to come to Australia. I’ll give him all the loving he needs 😅❤️

I think I have read somewhere that repressed anger can also result in depression. Is this true?

So relatable! Thank you all!

So Wonderful that You Cover these Topics no one else may want to touch. 😊

here in Thailand all toilets have a hose that makes it very easy to prepare and clean up after

Damn the guy on the top left looks like SHYA LABOUF.

❤❤❤ thank you guys

I'm not gay but this was such a good video especially for demisexual men in general. Thank you for sharing!!!

Intimacy is a beautiful thing. Something greatly desired. This was SO good.

True. Slowly stretching to feel comfy while cleaning. Lots of lube , I prefer silicone , it’s the best and stays. Just wash with soap well after. 🙏👍😜❤️

How do you deal with the anger that comes along, when you think about the talent that you suppress? If you would have been encouraged in your singing or your dancing

Thank you guys for being here. I'm just finding our my son is at least bisexual. He denies in part to judgement from family, friends, society. He has had ongoing super kinky chats with femboys. I don't want him to self destruct.

Sex is not bad but sex addiction is destructive.

Bottom line for me is im.bipolar and the workouts help me function. Ill also always have an issue with my.body bit guess what on.the weekend im eating pizza and Mexican food. I will always have a little belly. You dont like it bye felicia. Im 50 year old. What you see is what you get.

Good episode. Thanks, guys.

Excellent discussion. ~~ I'll stick to frottage !!

People who have anal sex of course its not just gay men ,,,but this is the way sexual body contact should be talked about ,,,choosing to be Ignorant is not going to help no one ,,, all gay men should feel free to talk to their doctors about any questions about same gender sex they have top or bottom ,,,this is the kind of conversation with very Indepth information's that gay or straight people need to have the answers to ,,, I stopped sex twenty five years ago ,,and just have Oral sex No not that Oral sex ,, I mean just talk about sex orally that is the only sex I have talk about sex ,, my body has not touched or been touched by no one in twenty five years..and I cant see it happening in the future ,,,I guess I will die scared to shake someone's hand ,,so I just write songs about male to male attractions and Love.... this is a smart Man this channel needs to have much more videos like this ,,,gay men really needs to demand that their Doctors answer any questions they may have about their health sexually as a gay man ..and also females who have anal sex...trust me it sure happens in the hetrosexual world maybe more then it does in the gay world ...

I love this broadcast, and I can relate. And it also made me question my sense of being an outsider: is this how others define me, or is that my self-definition. But I like to add that for those of us who are sensitive, the hookup culture prevalent in the community can feel alienating, even cold and heartless.

Let give All of You "Young' n's " A Big Ole HUG !!!😁❤️

Love to All Who are Still Struggling !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂❤️❤️❤️

God bless and protect all Gay men of all what is bad 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️

In order to be accepted and loved in the gay community one would have to be 1. White or light skinned 2. Good looking 3. Young 4. Physically fit The less traits one has the less attractive that individual becomes. At 31 I'm completely done with the community. It's full of shallow men.

I believe I have an emotional attachment style, and so I don't think the subject matter of this discussion is much of an issue for me. However, I have a fear of physical intimacy, probably because of a lack ability to achieve orgasm with another guy. This might unfortunately lead to a fear of rejection by whoever I may have been with at the time.

I’ve definitely grown so much in this area, and even though I know no one can be perfect for it, I know that I’m very strong doing this. I’m usually honest, I need to share my feelings otherwise I have a tornado in my head. However it is frustrating when other people don’t reciprocate. Very insightful, guys, good vibes!

I’ve had 3 closed relationships and each partner cheated, so I cannot contemplate an open one but what works for one as long as both partners are equally invested in their realist parameters

the Gay man excuse is that Society is Misogynistic, Patriarchal, Sexist, Homophobic, this is the cultural Norm and this is what the poor old gays have to deal with and the root of all their obnoxious problems within their own community, what a sad delusional person, how much more oppressed can the Gay community be, its pathetic to hear a grown man speak like this and speaks volumes to his Heterophobic and misandrist abuse, was his childhood that bad and did he witness this from his parents because he is pretty delusional.

I'll add something I hoped hearing some of you experienced and by that maybe feel like I'm not alone. In my head, I have a very strong perception, very untraditional and not accepted in society, that romantic relationships doesn't worth it for me. This bumpy dramatic super stimulating and exciting ride doesn't really feel needed for me through my daily life, I don't find myself wondering about it or missing it, and I experienced long relationships before. Add to that the expected bad hurting ending plus the evaporation of your ex, who you considered your family, is unbearable and strengthening my insecurities when it comes to relationships with people in general. So its not only something I don't miss in my life (I suspect I'm maybe on the a-romantic spectrum), I find it very mentally dangerous for me, it can literaly break my soul apart at the way romantic relationships usually go on in our times and culture, really no reason to want this. After saying all that, I do fantasize about deep intimacy in non romantic relationships frameworks, and this is something I do miss. But unfortunately, although I put myself in a lot of places which are very intimate with people I built stable relationships with, I find over and over again that I cant sustain it for long periods of time, I feel irritated by it, impatient and edgy, without any feelings of fear of any kind at all. I felt the same with my ex boyfriend by the way. And I wonder what could be the problem...

‏‪42:15‬‏ You want people to reassure you they are not gonna leave? So dangerous man. You know that there is huge chance they will leave eventually... Why you do that to yourself

Love you guys❤

Great content 🙌 Thank you. So important for gay men and not only, for men and women as well 😊 thank you for your dedication and commitment to educating our community ❤

❤i love this talk with the dr.even good show thank you

Great Topic!!! A conversations i have with myself and a few select others often. Matt, everything you're saying sounds like I'm listening to myself. Even to the point of me having meaningful conversations with my closest people to help me bounce back quicker. I REALLY WISH you and I could meet and get to know each other. I love the fact that you're attractive, smart, and sensitive just to name a few. The fact that we have so much in common. Leaves me in total amazement. Keep up the good work guys. A GREAT PODCAST! 💯 👍🏾 ❤️

Great information...Where Are the mature singles here Looking for love???

I was never into the "gay" scene with the clubs and partying. I like the idea of departing from those stereotypes, instead focus more on spirituality, health and wellbeing, also focus on learning new things as a group of like-minded homosexuals that have a goal and life aspirations. I think this direction is better than the alternative of drugs, alcohol and sexual promiscuity.

I realize this is an older post, and maybe no one will read this. but I was overcome listening to this. I'm 69, and two years ago I had knee replacement surgery. At first things were normal in rehab, but then after about 2 weeks I developed a pulmonary embolism. The PE time lasted about a month. When I think back, it seems like a fog, but I did recover. Then when that was over, I got an infection. Infections in artificial knees don't really heal because there are not blood vessels in the prosthesis. The bacteria forms a biofilm and in my case, it drained constantly, sometiimes blood. But I got on antibiotics which were supposed to be permanent. However, a few months later, I got Covid. The infection flared up. I was bleeding faster than I could bandage. My son took me to the emergency room. They put me in the hospital again. They misdiagnosed the type of bacteria and put me on a pic line, and I had a very heavy duty antibiotic IV for six weeks. It took its toll. After that I had fainting spells. I was kind of loopy for a while and fell victim to some scammers on the Internet. I lost some money. That brings me up to a year and three months after the surgery. I was being harassed by the scammers. One threatened my life. I was not getting better health wise. So in the Fall of last year I started to feel I would be better off dead. I came pretty close to doing something. I called 988 and they sort of talked me down. That was around the time I turned 69. Since then I have been depressed. My leg got better then worse. Now the artificial joint has started to loosen from the bone. For the last few months the pain is excruciating. I've had a lot of doctor visits. Next week I see the surgeon again, and he's going to give me my options, probably a redo of the knee replacement or amputation. Anyway, the pain is so bad I will take anything. I never thought I would be in a situation like this. I feel like I have lost two years of my life. I am trying to keep up some hope. At least the pain will be gone. Anyway, I can't go on like I am now.

Great program
