The Last Days of Hot Gay Summer EP 783

Summer may be winding down, but Leo Season is still demanding our attention—and with our very own Leo, Lincoln, in the house, we’re asking the important question: Was your Hot Gay Summer actually hot?

This week, Host Steve V and Co-hosts Lincoln and Kodi Maurice Doggette get into summer sexuality, confidence, flirting, hookups and that intoxicating feeling of being seen and desired. Does summer actually make us hornier—or are we simply showing more skin, going out more and giving ourselves permission to be a little bolder?

We turn to Lincoln for some Leo insight as we explore the connection between sex and attention: Do we want the hookup, or do we sometimes just want the validation of knowing someone wants us? And how much of gay sexuality is tied to being seen—at the gym, on the dance floor, on the apps, at the beach or through the perfectly timed thirst trap?

Plus, we examine the pressure of having a “Hot Gay Summer.” Did we have enough sex? Go out enough? Travel enough? Look good enough? And when summer starts fading and the parties slow down, what are we actually left wanting—more sex, romance, connection, attention…or simply the confidence to feel sexy even when nobody is watching?

It’s Leo Season. The shirts are still off. Summer isn’t quite over. And there may still be time for one last bad decision.
