sex education

They didn’t teach us about gay sex in school… so we had to teach ourselves. From porn to awkward trial-and-error hookups, most of us pieced together our own “education”—for better or worse. In this episode, Michael is joined by porn star turned sex educator, Patrick Marano, to talk about the sex ed we should have had, how we’ve had to create it for ourselves, and why stigma and censorship still keep gay men in the dark. Some of the topics covered in this episode: 🔹 How conventional sex education fails gay men🔹 How porn, hookups, and our peers became our teachers (for better or worse)🔹 How silence and secrecy fuel sexual shame🔹 What we’re still learning today🔹 How censorship and misinformation prevent us from getting the info we need🔹 How to take control of your own sex education Plus: Our favourite resources, communities, and channels for the sex education we actually deserve.
