About this episode

The episode reflects on the life and career of adult performer Dale Savage, discussing themes of aging, sexual confidence, and the pursuit of dreams later in life.

Adult performer Dale Savage didn’t begin his career until the age of 50, proving that desire, sexual discovery and reinvention don’t come with an expiration date. Following the news of his death at 62, Steve, Lincoln and Kodi reflect on his unexpected second act and the courage it takes to pursue a dream later in life. The conversation expands into what aging can look like for gay men when we stop following society’s timeline. Can our fifties, sixties and beyond become our most sexually confident and creatively fulfilling years? The hosts discuss embracing changing bodies, releasing shame, exploring fantasies and refusing to become invisible simply because we are getting older.
