Loneliness Is Killing Us: Porn, AI and The Fight for Real Connection EP 758

About this episode

The episode discusses the loneliness epidemic affecting the LGBTQ+ community and its implications on mental health and intimacy.

On a new TAGS PODCAST aka Talk About Gay Sex podcast Host Steve V and Co-hosts Jeremy Ross Lopez and Kodi Maurice Doggette are back with a brand new Sex Talk. Today we're talking about the 'loneliness epidemic' and how it affects our LGBTQ+ community. We talk about loneliness like it’s a feeling… but what if it’s actually a health crisis? LGBTQ+ people report higher rates of loneliness and mental distress. We replaced effort with access… and access doesn’t create intimacy.
