Maxwell Anders, Beau Alexander, and Casey Durham explore and share on the ups and downs of dating, sex, relationships, and all things related to the Big D.

On episode 25 - Dull, Max, Beau, and Casey discuss dating when someone is dull.  Life can be exciting and thrilling and no more is this the case when it comes to dating and find someone new.  What happens when we encounter the utterly dull and boring?   What is exciting to some can be painfully boring to others.  Can we add a little spice to our dating and sex lives? 

Casey Durham from Dallas is our stand-in guest co-host, and our favorite and beloved Brooklyn Steele will be back in our next episode.  Beau catches up with a girl from his past.  Later he practices getting out of his comfort zone and braves facing rejection.  Maxwell updates us on the drunk cutie who asked him out at birthday dinner and meets a guy that seems to "measure up" or down to Max.  Casey puts the breaks on a stunningly beautiful man and reflects on the decision.

Kevin McKenzie from Dallas is our guest dating guru on this episode.  We answer a listener's e-mail regarding when one partner demands a lot of sex, and we review the article "You Should Be Dating Someone Boring” from Thought Catalog.  We go over our Call to Action, Episode Quote, and we give a shout out to the author and TEDTalk sensation Tracy McMillan.

On episode 24 - Drop Dead gorgeous, Max, Beau, and Brooklyn discuss dating the devastatingly beautiful.  Stunning, breathtaking, beautiful, gorgeous, and alluring. These are but a few of the words to describe individuals that turn heads, stop traffic, and turn us into awkward teenagers.  Is there a different standard for extremely attractive people when it comes to dating?  Have we experienced dating as a stunningly beautiful person or have we dated someone who is drop-dead gorgeous?

We return from our two-month mid-season break with lots of updates! Beau makes a choice when meeting the girl of his dreams and encounters another he decides to pass on. Max learns a lesson in rejection and acceptance and later has a surprising experience with a cute guy at a birthday dinner party.  Brooklyn and his boyfriend explore piercings and visit Infliction Hall, "the social lounge with a dungeon atmosphere."

On episode 13 - Dens, The gang is LIVE on location at an LGBTQ conference in downtown Houston, Texas! We discuss our experiences with Dens - cougars, daddy bears, walruses, pups, sharks, and zaddies.

On episode 5 - Devils, Max, Charlie, and Sommer discuss our fascination and love of bad boys and bad girls and why we find them attractive. Do good guys ever win? Bad boys and bad girls are iconic from James Dean to Lindsay Lohan. We are drawn to them. What does that say about us? Why are we attracted to devils? Do we love being on the edge and getting burned? Is it our infinite quest to tame the shrew?

Maxwell Anders, Beau Alexander, and Brooklyn Steele explore and share on the ups and downs of dating, sex, relationships, and all things related to the Big D.

On episode 23 - Divorce, Max, Beau, and Brooklyn discuss dating after divorce.  Society tells us that marriage is the goal and the result of all successful relationships.  We are taught that love will find a way and that love conquers all.  However, for many, this is not the case.  Sometimes love is just not enough.  Divorce is a part of modern-day relationships.  In time, the need for romantic connection and intimacy resurfaces.  How do we rise to this challenge? What is dating like after surviving and recovering from a marriage that has ended in divorce?

The gang grills Max on the various dates he had since the last episode. He got uncomfortable and tried different strategies from Zaguan Latin Cafe in Dallas to Steel City Pops, making a homemade pizza together and lastly "knocking boots."  Was there a love connection?  Brooklyn shares the latest on continued success in couple's therapy and maintaining the best relationship he has had.

Rene from Dallas is the guest dating guru in the studio for this episode. We answer your dating e-mails and discuss the article "Dating After Divorce:  Getting Back in the Saddle After Ending Your Marriage” from Psychology Today.  We go over our Call to Action, Episode Quote, and we give a shout out to Director, Producer, and Editor Ryan Turner, director of the 2017 short film “A Date in 2025.”

Maxwell Anders, Beau Alexander, and Jackie James explore and share on the ups and downs of dating, sex, relationships, and all things related to the Big D.

On episode 22 - school Days, Jackie James from Dallas fills in as our guest host.  We go back to our dating experiences in high school and college.  Young adulthood is formative, to say the least, and nowhere is dating and love more chaotic than in high school and in college.  The times are constantly changing but school is still filled with social food chains, popularity, drama, and teen angst.  How different are relationships and dating in jr, high and high school versus college?  How does dating and sex in high school shape our romantic relationships in college and beyond?

Jackie starts putting himself out there again.  He gets out of his comfort zone with a new attitude and tries out new dating behaviors.  Brooklyn shares on taking and giving over control in the bedroom on his couple's therapy update. Maxwell meets a horny guy who can't follow directions, has a rock climbing date with an awesome guy and learns about polycule relationships, and even has a date planned with a cutie after this episode.

Maxwell Anders, Beau Alexander, Brooklyn Steele explore and share on the ups and downs of dating, sex, and relationships in the city.

On episode 21 - baDass, we discuss being a badass in dating and relationships.   We have all know the person who has presence, charisma, and magnetism. They enter the room and draw the crowd.  Is it a game of chance or the law of attraction that creates the badass? Is this something one is born with or is it learned? Can we harness magnetism in our dating experiences? Moreover, can two badasses attract each other?  Do we see ourselves as the badass or do others see us as such?

Brooklyn updates us on how couple's therapy is coming along and it's effect on their sex life.  Meanwhile, Beau checks out one of the Dallas comedy clubs, and a party girl asks Beau for his number.  Max takes the recommendations from dating experts on creating dating profiles and the responses explode.

Maxwell Anders, Beau Alexander, Brooklyn Steele explore and share on the ups and downs of dating, sex, and relationships in the city.

On episode 20 - Development, we explore late bloomers, early starters, and ugly ducklings in dating and relationships.  We all grow up and bloom at different stages.  Some of us grow into our own later in life. Some of us mature early.  Some grow up the beauty queen and others as the ugly duckling.  These experiences make an impact on our lives when it comes to relationships, dating, and sex.  Either way, there are growing pains involved whether we start dating while we are young or dive in when we are older.

Brooklyn Steele is back and shares intimately about his current relationship.  Max reaches out to Tom one last time for a date but doesn't hear back.  He embarrasses himself by texting the wrong guy about a pool party and lastly, Max has a disappointing update about the guy he was talking to.  Beau is along for the ride.

Maxwell Anders, Beau Alexander, Brooklyn Steele explore and share on the ups and downs of dating, sex, and relationships in the city.

On episode 18, Denied, we dive into the topic of rejection and denial. At some point in our lives, we all face rejection and denial. Hearing “NO” doesn’t necessarily feel good.  It can hurt like hell, but it can make us stronger. Sometimes we find ourselves having to say “NO” in a variety of dating and romantic situations. It can be painful, empowering, scary, and funny.  One thing is certain.  We can always learn from it.

Beau opens up about his new dating interest. Max reconsiders whether to use dating apps right now, and Brooklyn brings his new book to the studio, "Gayma Sutra: The Complete Guide" by Axel Neustaedter.
