In the late 2010's I began seeing a phrase or new sexual orientation rather, called "the Pornosexual." A pornosexual, more recently also referred to as a solosexual as well, describes a person whose sexual orientation is linked solely to porn.  It's become so easy to get your hands on porn today that some people just don't feel the need to have another person in the room.  

I received a message from a listener named Timmy, a self-described pornosexual who is a gay man in his mid-sixties who discovered porn while in his teens by way of Blue Boy magazines and VHS tapes. After a 26 year long relationship Timmy is now in a healthy relationship with himself and his love of porn. 

During our conversation we discover a little more about the age demographic of gay men who lived through the AIDS epidemic; a time where being alone and finding new ways to get off may have saved your life. In there a correlation? Yes, to an extent.  This is a great episode filled with some history and Timmy's story.  Enjoy.
