He talks about internalized homophobia, parenting, and a widespread myth among men: that bottoming requires tadalafil. The real barrier, he says, is mental, not physical.
This is the longest part of chemsex recovery. I think it's the— for most men, it's the, it's the long game to try to get it back. Look, 7 years now for me, and I'm just now really diving into sexual exploration. Now, part of my, part of my reason was I had to— I put it off to pay attention to my kids, but also it was just I wasn't ready, right? I still had trauma.

There's a lot of guys who think they can't bottom unless they use T, right? And it's all of— it's all a mind game. It's all up here. When you can't bottom— and again, we have an episode of the art and science of bottoming— most of the time it's in your mind. You can't relax. You can't let go, right?
