Just Being Me

We celebrate a new kind of sexual revolution. Porn is becoming less and less taboo, sex is being dismissed as an app, and the stigma is fading as the need to lie about who we are (although we still challenge ourselves) has become less and less. We face new challenges as we embrace our newfound openness - such as the need to tribalize (and even fetishize) sex, race, and masculinity, when we sign up, upload, and check off the preference buttons on the way to pre-negotiated sex. For this reason, I have asked some of the boys and men I know to openly show their authentic selves in this series. Boys like Levi Karter, Carter Dane, Ben Masters & Clark Davis share their experiences and thoughts about the challenges they have gone through and how they have realized that they just have to be themselves.
