In this episode, we unpack why so many women are obsessed with a queer sports romance, and what that fixation reveals about desire, power, fantasy, and emotional safety. We dig into how watching men love each other on screen shifts the female gaze, removes traditional gender expectations, and offers a version of intimacy that fe...
