About this episode

The episode discusses modern gay dating practices, including Goblintimacy and the importance of sexual honesty.

On a new TAGSPODCAST aka Talk About Gay Sex podcast Host Steve V and Co-hosts Jeremy Ross Lopez and Kodi Maurice Doggette are back. This week on TAGS LIVE, we’re talking Goblintimacy, Gen Z “practice dates,” whether gay men should disclose their bedroom position upfront, and the bold new art of meeting someone through DMs. Is messy intimacy the new vulnerability? Are practice dates helpful or a little cruel? When should you say whether you’re top, bottom, or vers? And can sliding into someone’s DMs still feel sexy without being creepy? It’s a modern gay dating episode about confidence, chemistry, sexual honesty, rejection, and learning how to shoot your shot.
