Why Are We So Obsessed With Labels?
This week, Meaux and Tate contemplate why we are so obsessed with labels and sexual orientations versus our sexual history. Is it okay for a man to still want to identify as "straight" when he's been sleeping with men? Should he feel the pressure of changing his label to "bisexual" or simply "queer"? Also, why do lesbians get called transphobic for saying they hate penises?

Mental Health: It's Not All Rainbows
This episode will be a heavy one as we compare our journies with mental health, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Between both of us, we talk about our mental health very often and believe it is vital to create a space for others to share their experiences as well. There is strength in vulnerability. TRIGGER WARNING: If you are not in a place mentally or emotionally to hear this type of content, both of us will understand and the next episode will be better! We promise.

Debunking Stereotypes and The Truth About How We Have Sex
Call it counterintuitive, but in this episode, sexual stereotypes about gay men and women are debunked but also sharing what we love about sex and what turns us on. We can only speak for ourselves, but as a gay man and a gay woman, we hate being oversexualized but that doesn't mean we hate sex. Not all lesbians want a threesome, not all flamboyant gay men are bottoms, and not all of us are even having sex.
