In this episode: • Is the “top shortage” supported by real data? • Why are younger gay men more likely to identify as bottoms? • Do some men grow into topping as they gain confidence and experience? • Are there no tops—or simply no tops who meet every requirement? • The erection and performance pressure placed on tops • Why topping a partner can feel easier than topping a stranger • Porn, hookup apps, masculinity, and unrealistic sexual expectations • Can a soft top still deliver a great sexual experience? • Are top, bottom, and vers preferences—or identities? • Why expanding our definition of sex may benefit everyone So, where have all the tops gone?

In this episode: More hilariously vague Grindr phrases translated Why “not on here much” rarely means what it says The difference between losing interest and genuinely ghosting someone Why men initiate conversations they have no intention of continuing Whether apps provide validation even when no hookup happens The endless cycle of taps, photos, attention and disappearing Why possibility can feel more exciting than actually meeting App fatigue and the exhaustion of repetitive conversations When silence becomes disrespectful Whether brutal honesty is really better than no response Maybe sex isn’t what prevents gay men from forming meaningful connections. Maybe the real obstacle is how easily we’ve learned to treat one another as temporary squares on a screen. And remember: “Hey stranger” is not an apology.
