Sample Talks

Pain is Inevitable; Suffering is Optional

Talk addresses topics related to mature gay and gay-curious men as they face coming out and other issues of maturity. Specifically, it focuses on why some men delay coming out until mid-life and how coming out during one's middle years is different from coming out as a young person. It also includes information about how men's sexuality changes but actually can improve as one ages. Intergenerational relationships are also addressed. Also includes discussion of fidelity v. open relationships.
