Masculinity has always come with labels and boxes. Rules about how you should act, feel, and show up in the world. In this season finale, we are breaking those boxes. We talk about the pressure to fit into stereotypes, why vulnerability is actually one of the strongest things you can bring to the table, and how identity is not about choosing one side or the other. It is about creating space to be all of it.

Finding your style, your confidence, and yourself isn’t linear — especially in the queer community. In this episode, we dive into personal style journeys, gender expression, and embracing the messiness of self-discovery. From cutting our hair to experimenting with fashion, talking boobs, binders, and breaking stereotypes, we get real about what it actually takes to feel comfortable in your skin — and why confidence is just as internal as it is external. Expect laughs, chaos, and maybe a little oversharing (okay, a lot).

Healthy love is weird. You feel safe, then suddenly you’re spiraling. We talk about what being in a healthy relationship actually looks like, from the insecurities no one prepares you for to the communication tools that actually work. We get into how we met our partners, what makes a relationship feel safe, triggers and what happens when an avoidant tries to break up with you. Healing looks like a lot of things. Sometimes it’s calling your ex. Sometimes it’s calling your therapist.

Bad lesbian confessions, Founding Fathers, and your mom’s closet being gayer than yours. We’re unpacking what coming out actually feels like, the confusion, the pressure, the joy, and the timing that never seems to line up (but always ends up being yours). We’re not therapists, but we are gay.

We’re talking bisexuality and who better to join us than our very own bi partners. From not feeling “bi enough” to navigating straight passing relationships and biphobia within the queer community. We break down the difference between queer cultured and straight cultured bisexuals, and why bi people deserve to feel seen, valid, and included no matter who they’re dating.

We’re talking strap-ons, Fox News, and finishing like lesbians do. In this episode, we get real about queer sex, our first time with women, and why dick-shaped doesn’t mean dick-desired. England confesses what she put where, Alaire has a message for men and their fragile egos, and together we answer one of the most common (and annoying) questions we get: “Why use a strap if you don’t want a real one?” Oh, and yes — we’re officially 3 years sober off dick.

So… who gave us mics?

It’s the first episode of Yap and Strap, we’re pulling back the curtain to introduce ourselves — who we are, how we got here, and why this podcast exists. From chaotic hot takes to soft truths and maybe some over sharing.

Think of this as your official invite — welcome to the chaos.
