[EXCERPT]...There’s something interesting about fear.We don’t usually announce it. We curate around it. We compensate for it. We build personalities on top of it.

Well here are are back again for a some candid, raw and much needed discussion about love sex and relationships. When it comes to relationships, nothing reveals who we are more, than a revealing look at who we've been with.

Season Two, is all about you and we start but getting a little messy! But with love. Speaking of messy, if your last relationship was a Tyler Perry movie, what would the title be? I can't wait to hear!

Happy pride month lovers! Welcome back to Gaylandia. What does gay pride mean to you? Well it would only make sense that it means different things to all of us. Yet, even in 2025 gay pride seems as big as a revolution as ever but it's not always rainbows and sunshine. The journey to out, is one with secrets, lies, and double lives. Let's face it, the road to 'gay and proud' is more of a gauntlet, than a parade. So, let's get rid of all the misconceptions of who we are and set the record "gay".Behind the clapbacks and pop music, many of us lived by a code that helped us navigate lives that weren't carved out with us in mind.

This episode is called Talk to Me Nice. You know what I find sexy? I think it's sexy getting to know people, the curiosity, the flirting and the anticipation: Even if its brief, there's something about those encounters that send a rush of blood through you. For people like me, who make content for your pleasure, getting know you is what makes it fun for me and let's me know what you want to see...and sometimes it's fun to hear what's on your mind? To see what you enjoy and hesr some of the questions youve wanted to ask.

When it comes to queer connections, we haven't always had the prominent culture we know today. In fact, gays over 30 probably know that the only compass available to help navigate these connections were our Basic Instincts. Whether it's flirting, finding lasting friendship or just understanding the rules of gay friends with benefits, there are spoken and unspoken rules...most of which we learn by trial and error. The truth is, behind what can look like ordinary sexuality at play is a world unknown to many but masterfully designed by queers like us. This episode takes a long look at the instinctual, the intentional and even the impossible lengths we can sometimes go to feel like we are wanted and that we belong.
