Hookup culture as a gay man is normal for some, but nobody talks about the silence that hits after your date leaves. We pretend it’s just sex, but let’s be real… it’s not. Behind the swipes, the hookups, and the ghosting is a deeper story: loneliness, shame, and that aching desire for something real.
In this episode, I’m pulling the curtain back on the cycle we don’t like to admit we’re stuck in or exist. Why does casual sex feel good in the moment but leave us feeling empty afterwards? Why are we afraid to be vulnerable? And why are so many gay men, in a world where we’re more ‘ACCEPTED,’ still lonely.
I’m not here to shame hookups. I’m here to talk about what we’re actually craving underneath it all.
