Stay Ready

Got some sh!t to say? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/143143/fan_mail/new] Pride Month is here, and for many gay men that means parades, parties, travel, hookups, and plenty of opportunities for some unforgettable memories. But while everyone is focused on what they're wearing (or not wearing), Marko and Steve are asking a different question: Are you physically ready for all the sex shenanigans that Pride Week can bring? This week, the guys sit down with anal health expert Dr. Evan Goldstein (@drevangoldstein [https://www.instagram.com/drevangoldstein/])of Bespoke Surgical (@bespokesurgical [https://www.instagram.com/bespokesurgical/])to discuss what it really means to stay ready. From preparing for receptive anal sex and avoiding common mistakes, to recovery, lubrication, pelvic floor health, and maintaining your body for long-term pleasure, they're covering everything bottoms (and the people who love them) should know before heading into a weekend of fun. - Support Dr. Evan Goldstein: * Instagram | @drevangoldstein [https://www.instagram.com/drevangoldstein/] * Bespoke Surgical | @bespokesurgical [https://www.instagram.com/bespokesurgical/] * Buy Butt Seriously | Amazon.com [https://www.amazon.com/dp/1538757478?ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_R74NAJ33YG82DCWSX4SE&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_R74NAJ33YG82DCWSX4SE&social_share=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_R74NAJ33YG82DCWSX4SE&utm_campaign=multi_item_banner_DrGoldsteinsDebutBook&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=later-linkinbio] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/podrelationshit] Sh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That’s (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com [http://podrelationshit.com/], or email us at relationshitquestions@gmail.com.

Gay While Black

Got some sh!t to say? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/143143/fan_mail/new] This week, Marko and Steve are joined by Jerrell Owens-Robinson to tackle a topic that doesn't get enough honest conversation in queer spaces: what it's like being Black in predominantly white gay spaces, and how race can shape dating, relationships, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Drawing from their own experiences and observations, the guys discuss everything from desirability politics and racial "preferences" to fetishization, microaggressions, and the challenges of navigating both the white gay community and the Black community as queer men. To wrap things up, Tony joins the guys to tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience. - Follow Jerrell Owens-Robinson: * Instagram | @jalex313 [https://www.instagram.com/jalex313/] Support Ruben Tomas: * Instagram | @ruben_tomas [https://www.instagram.com/ruben_tomas/] * Vote for Him | Johnny Depp presents The People’s Artist [https://peoplesartist.org/2026/ruben-tomas-jPAh?fbclid=PAZnRzaARo0XFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafKqjXzQIZZXxGMohbEbDb6N-4LG7uCHyNyp7hCRLzq7r840AepJTlk4ss87Q_aem_RaBJBBlzOelLqnlHiFrVgw] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/podrelationshit] Sh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That’s (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com [http://podrelationshit.com/], or email us at relationshitquestions@gmail.com.
