Why do gay men lose interest so fast in relationships? 💨

Well, maybe you were never that interested to begin with. Here’s my take, as a gay men’s therapist & coach.

Do you relate?

For a lot of men, s*x is one of the fastest ways to regulate stress and tension.

But gay men often struggle to embrace this aspect of male s*xuality. The real issue isn’t s*x—it’s the way you’ve been taught to think about it.

Full video is on my YouTube.

Gay therapist reacts to “pray away the gay” reel.

If you want to pray away the gay, go for it. You do you.

But let’s be real. None of this makes any sense. I’d recommend just accepting yourself as you are. But again, it’s your life. Live it how you want. Just don’t impose your ideas on me, and we’re cool.

What do you guys think?

I used to love working out…until I didn’t.
Fell off for a while. Told myself I was taking a break but that break lasted longer than planned.
Back at it this week. One workout in and I’m already wrecked 🤣😫.
Let’s see if I stick with it.

Following the Supreme Court ruling in Colorado this week on Conversion Therapy, I had to do some investigating. And I found something that surprised me. Don’t take my word for it. Hear what these so-called “conversion therapists” are practicing, in their own words. Take a listen below. 👇🌈

What are conversion therapists actually hiding?

This clip reveals something most people would completely miss — how “treatment” is being shaped behind the scenes, without oversight, without evidence, and without accountability.

Listen carefully. The most disturbing part isn’t what they say openly… it’s what they hint at.

Shout out to .s.rodriguez for finding this clip 👏

Conversion “therapy” hurts kids. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to the grieving parents, like Linda, who lost her son.

But hey, at least the woman championing this treatment, is pleased with herself. Some might even say she’s elated.

Call me crazy but I don’t feel elated when kids *unalive* themselves.

How about you?

I was a gay kid.
And like a lot of gay boys, I grew up in a world where acceptance wasn’t guaranteed.
That part I can handle. I don’t need everyone to like me.
What I’m not okay with is children being harmed and it being labeled as “therapy.”

Conversion therapy doesn’t help people.
It teaches them to hate themselves.
You can have your beliefs about being gay.
But harming children is a line.
And calling it something else doesn’t make it okay.
—
If you’re still undoing what you were taught to believe about yourself,
you don’t have to do that alone.
We’re here to fight this fight, together.

You may have heard that the Supreme Court moved to overturn a conversion therapy ban in Colorado.

As a gay therapist, I disagree with their decision. But there’s an important point I want to make…

It’s normal to want your parent’s approval.

But at some point—you have to ask:
Am I asking for support…or trying to change someone who doesn’t respect me?

I had to react to this article that really caught my attention.

What do you guy think?

Bathhouses not just about behavior.

They’re about the environment. More specifically, what the environment allows you to become.

For some gay men, it’s a space of liberation. For others, it’s a reenactment of shame.

What do you think? Curious to hear your thoughts :)
