Brian and Judson talk Gay Vacation Anxiety

Judson shares a moment of pride felt as a Daddy for a Son. Brian reflects on four weeks without sex outside of his marriage. The two discuss feedback from a listener who feels that they prescribe open relationships as being right for everyone and doesn’t agree. They then begin preparations for summer by going deep into the anxiety brought on by vacationing in gay destinations. They explore the reasons we choose to vacation in gay destinations and how those reasons can be at odds, why they feel the pros outweigh the cons, and how they each deal with issues of body image, self-esteem, drug and alcohol prevalence, FOMO and peer pressure. To close, Judson and Brian respond to a series of questions from a listener who is moving to New York and is curious about the dating scene for someone in his 40s, building community and navigating the city sober.
