About this episode

Oleg Kudymov joins TAGSPODCAST to discuss modern connections among gay men, exploring themes of polyamory, dating app burnout, and the role of gay content in visibility and activism.

Life coach and content creator Oleg Kudymov joins the men of TAGS for a fun, candid, and occasionally provocative conversation about how gay men are connecting—and disconnecting—in modern life. Are polyamorous relationships becoming the future, or are we simply getting more honest about wanting different things from love and sex? Oleg shares his perspective as the guys explore jealousy, communication, commitment, and whether one person can realistically fulfill all of our emotional and sexual needs. The conversation also turns to gay content online. Is it merely entertainment, or can visibility itself be a form of activism? They discuss authenticity, representation, thirst traps, and the pressure creators face to educate their audiences while still having fun. Plus, are dating apps actually helping us find connection—or leaving us feeling more isolated, disposable, and exhausted? The guys unpack app burnout, endless scrolling, making connections in real life, and what it takes to turn an online match into something meaningful. It’s an energetic episode about relationships, visibility, sex, and finding genuine connection in an increasingly digital world.
