BIG BEAR CUB HUGS to our Patrons: 

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Let’s Talk About Sex. This time around, the guys spend some time talking about being homoflexible and heteroflexible. Gone are the days of ‘no homo’ as straights are finding interesting new ways to express the occasional need to find pleasure in the same sex and some gays are enjoying dabbling with the opposite sex every now and then. Listen in as the cubs break down these terms and reflect on their current surge in popularity. Is this something new or just a new way to say something that’s been around for a while?

The Let’s Talk About Sex returns and this episode in the series the terrain of dudes having fun but this isn’t ‘no homo’ and yet it’s also not meet me in the backroom territory either. With the progression of a society from the puritanical past thru the nuclear family era, what exactly are these ‘homoflexible’ and ‘heteroflexible’ descriptions on the websites and apps?

From dadbods to daddy porn, listen in as the cubs share their thoughts on this rise and how this may impact the community further.

It’s still 2026 and Father’s Day is right around the corner. In the last episode we discussed our history with Daddies. Recently we’ve seen the rise in interest and label of Daddy. Prior to the infamous year we lost [aka 2020], the conversation was about Dad Bods; guys a little thicker and/or with a belly on them. 

In 2023 interest in older gay men was reported to have moved from ageist ideas to a known preference [source: Queerty Daddy Era article]. In 2024, the spicy web platform Squirt.org reported the Daddy category of porn ranking as 6 in the Top 10 categories users seek out. And last year, Pride.com reported ‘14 Reasons Why Gays Love Daddies…’.

What do we think of the rise of popularity and interest in Daddies now? Have we found ourselves being the focus of interest by others because of perceived Daddiness? 

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys take some time to talk about Daddies. With Father’s Day coming soon, listen in as the cubs share their feelings about Daddies.

It’s 2026 and Father’s Day is coming up soon. Prior to 2020, the concept of Daddy was different than where we are today. As guys that came out and grew into adulthood in the 90s, what did we think was a Daddy? Were there preconceived ideas about older guys as an object of desire? Did we think or view men labeled as Daddies a certain way in the past?
