Post-Nut Clarity — Is It Real? Why It Happens for some EP 718

On a new TAGS LIVE aka Talk About Gay Sex the live edition Host Stevie V and Co-host Kodi Maurice Doggette are back with all new hot Sex Talk on PNC...Post Nut Clarity. Today we’re diving into a term everyone’s heard — Post-Nut Clarity. Is it real? Does everyone feel it? And why do some people feel refreshed, while others feel like they made every wrong decision in the book? We also want to layer in: does connected, conscious sex — even tantra — change that feeling? Can you avoid it entirely? Plus we're talking new sex position Flatiron...

Post Nut Clarity: “It’s that moment right after orgasm where suddenly you’re like: ‘Why did I text him?’ ‘Why am I here?’ ‘Do I even like this person?’”

• The hosts share personal stories on when they experienced PNC...

• Some people feel zen. Others feel guilt. Others feel absolutely nothing.

• Casual hookup vs partner you’re connected to - does it make a difference with PNC?

• When there’s connection, communication, safety — the ‘clarity’ isn’t a crash. It’s more of a grounded moment.

• When sex is not just release but connection, breath, energy… does the ‘post-nut’ crash even happen? How queer men specifically can benefit from slowing down / intention-setting.

• So how can people shift their sexual experience to avoid that crashy, regretful, disconnected feeling?

• Connect & Confidence new app by Host Steve V gives daily and weekly tools that are fun to help you find meaningful connections with confidence in dating and finding love. Go to Studio.com/stevev/connect

• Hot Topic: Have you tried the Flatiron sex positon?

• Hot Topic: What are non-sexual things you like in a guy? We discuss...

• Hot Topic: Whitexican content creator paints himself green, shows off ass and sings from Wicked...

• Hot Topic: "Heated Rivalry" show runner shuts down any mention of the actor's sexuality and more...

• Advice: When do you expect to be introduced to your beau's family?

Confident Dating: How to Show Up as the Real You EP 715

On a new TAGS LIVE aka Talk About Gay Sex the live edition Host Stevie V and Co-host Kodi Maurice Doggette are back with an all new discussion on how we show up on our dates as our real selves or do we put up a facade to be who we think people want to meet?

We break down why queer dating feels so intimidating, how to stop shrinking yourself or over-performing on dates, and what it really means to “show up as the real you.” We also talk about what confidence is not, the moments we’ve lied to ourselves to be chosen, and how dating confidence evolves with age and experience.

This episode includes tools, stories, very honest confessions, and a gentle reminder:

You’re not auditioning — you’re connecting.

The hosts share personal stories of how they showed up for past dates when they were younger and not as confident as they are now...

• Confidence isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real, relaxed, and present

• The misconception that confidence = being bold, loud, flirty, or dominant

• Internalized fear of rejection and its impact on confidence

• How dating confidence is really about clarity, boundaries, and comfort

• Showing up as ourselves not the version we think they want...

• Confident behaviors that attract the right guy...

• Tips that work on a date like flirting, listening and sharing...
