In Episode 3 of Season 2 of Casually Deep The Podcast, Ressie G. and Oaklyn-Jonas Galloway unpack the idea that in today’s LGBTQ dating culture, many gay men feel like they have to have sex just to experience basic intimacy like cuddling or affection. The conversation explores how hookup culture can blur the line between physical access and genuine emotional connection, while also highlighting how Black gay men often navigate these dynamics while searching for vulnerability, closeness, and meaningful connection. As always, the conversation starts casual… but gets deep.
