Porn is the predominant way that gay and queer men learn about sex. That’s a problem because porn is entertainment, not a how-to guide. In today’s show, we’re discussing what gay and queer men need to know when it comes to having positive and pleasurable sexual experiences, including tips for anal sex and dealing with performance problems. I am joined once again by Tom Bruett, a licensed marriage and family therapist, trainer, and consultant who works extensively with the queer community. He is the founder of the Queer Relationship Institute and author of the new book The Go-To Relationship Guide for Gay Men: From Honeymoon to Lasting Commitment. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What does porn get wrong about gay sex? What are the dos and don’ts when it comes to having pleasurable anal sex? What should you do when you or your partner experience erectile difficulties? How can gay men manage self-consciousness about penis size and body image? Why is it worth trying sober sex? You can check out Tom’s website to learn more about his work. Got a sex question?
