How's the (Gay) Sex?

Saturday, July 25, 2026 • Duration 01:08:32

Spit is not lube. Nobody has the refractory period of a Norse god. Nobody finishes on a schedule, every time, together. And no one should ever type the words "weeping member."That's just the warm-up. From there: the sex that actually works, the writers who nail it, and a fast run through every trope we love, hate, or can't make up our minds about.

Banned Books and the Apocalypse

Episode 5

Sunday, July 5, 2026 • Duration 37:41

Two gay YA love stories, two boys named Jamie, two very different ends of the world.

In Boy Like Me, the world is a 1994 British classroom where Section 28 has banned any mention of gay lives in school, so Jamie's romance unfolds in secret — in notes passed back and forth in the margins of a library book. In All That's Left in the World, the world has literally ended, and Jamie is holed up alone in a cabin when a half-dead boy turns up on his doorstep.

They're secretly the same book: two tender boys finding each other when everything says they can't. We also crack open thesequel, The Only Light Left Burning.

Boy Like Me by Simon James Green. All That's Left in the World and The Only Light Left Burning by Erik J. Brown.

Two boys, two islands of bad weather, one impossiblequestion: how do you love someone in a language you're not allowed to speak?

Closets & Highways

Episode 3

Saturday, June 6, 2026 • Duration 45:15

Two gay novels, two very different escape routes. This week: Edward Cahill's Disorderly Men against Joe Westmoreland's Tramps Like Us.

Disorderly Men drops us into early-'60s New York, where a raid on a Greenwich Village bar throws three men — a closeted banker, a professor, and a grocery clerk — into the same paddy wagon and the same impossible question: how much happiness am I allowed? A pre-Stonewall thriller soaked in shame and blackmail.

Tramps Like Us takes the other door — Westmoreland's autofictional road trip out of an abusive Kansas City home andinto the hedonistic sprawl of '70s New Orleans and San Francisco, all sex, drugs, and chosen family, right up to the edge of the AIDS crisis.

One book about hiding, one about running. We talk about which one wrecked us more.

Gay Thrillers

Season 1 · Episode 2

Saturday, May 23, 2026 • Duration 31:54

We double up on gay thrillers where love bruises back. P.J.Vernon's Bath Haus drops Oliver—recovering addict, doting doctor boyfriend, very wrong bathhouse hookup—into a spiral of lies he can't outrun. Then Micah Nemerever's These Violent Delights pulls us into 1970s Pittsburgh, where two college boys fall into a Leopold-and-Loeb style obsession that gets exactly as ugly as it sounds. We dig into gay obsession, codependency dressed up as devotion, and the strange pleasure of watching it all fall apart. Lock the door behind you.

Bury Your Gays

Season 1 · Episode 1

Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 44:37

This episode, Chuck Tingle's Bury Your Gays drags the infamous trope into the light—and gives it teeth. When gay screenwriter Misha refuses to kill off his queer characters for "the algorithm," very literal monsters show up to register their disapproval. We dig into Hollywood's body count, horror as survival, and the refreshingly normal boyfriend keeping it all from full-blown dread. Bring a nightlight and an open heart—you're going to need both.e
