What does it really mean to be “sex positive”? And has the movement actually gone too far? 🌈
This week on Happy Healthy Homo, we sit down with therapist Michael Pezzullo (He/Him), a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma, and chemsex. Together we dive into some of the toughest but most important conversations for gay men today: sexual trauma, the chemsex scene, ketamine-assisted therapy, and how we can reclaim masculinity in a healthy, authentic way.
Michael also shares how trauma shows up uniquely in gay men’s lives, why so many avoid reaching out for help, and what real healing can look like.
If you’ve ever wondered where sex positivity ends and self-destruction begins — or how we can build healthier relationships with sex, masculinity, and ourselves — this episode is for you.
