Gay Men

The specific needs and experience of being a gay male within our society carries with it wonderful opportunities and challenges. Exploring these opportunities and challenges assists in understanding what it means to be a gay man in our culture beyond the coming out process.  As a gay man himself, Scotty understands this unique experience firsthand.

Exploring coming out of the closet.

Dating, relationships and break ups.

Hook ups, sex and Intimacy.

Bottom, Side, Top.

Monogamy, polyamory and open relationships.

Mixed orientation marriages.

Coming out later in life.

Self acceptance and dealing with internalized shame.

Aging in the gay community.
