  Can You Be Gay and Asexual? Understanding Arousal, Attraction & Sexuality

  Aug 19, 202610 min

  Can you be gay and asexual? In this episode, I break down what it can actually mean to be both. Asexuality doesn’t necessarily mean having no arousal, no fantasies, or no sexual life. For some people, arousal may show up more through fantasy or solo sexuality, without the same drive to direct that sexual energy toward another person. We’ll also explore why someone can still clearly experience their sexuality as gay: their fantasies, romantic attraction, intimacy, and erotic world may still be centered around men. I also talk about the confusion that can come from trying to understand yourself in a gay culture where sex can feel central—and how to distinguish asexuality from low libido, anxiety, or simply avoiding sex you actually want. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel gay but don’t relate to the way other gay men describe sexual attraction, this episode may help you make more sense of your experience.

  I'm Gay -- not "Queer." Here's Why.

  Aug 9, 202614 min

  My “gay, not queer” post sparked a much bigger reaction than I expected. But this episode isn’t about rehashing the argument. Instead, I’m talking about what the backlash got me thinking about: why so many gay men struggle to use their voice. We’re often taught early to stay agreeable, avoid rejection, and be the “best little boy in the world.” But what happens when that follows us into adulthood—and even into our own community? In this episode, I talk about owning your identity, tolerating disagreement, having the courage to be different, keeping your sense of humor, and refusing to put yourself into another closet just because your opinion isn’t popular. You don’t have to agree with me. But you should be able to speak for yourself. Interested in therapy or coaching? Work with me: https://www.michaelpezzullo.com/work-with-me

  4 Hidden Reasons Gay Men Struggle to Stay Hard

  Aug 3, 20268 min

  Why do so many gay men struggle to stay hard—even when they’re attracted to the person they’re with? In this episode, gay men’s therapist Michael Pezzullo breaks down four overlooked psychological causes of erection difficulties and performance anxiety, including the impact of past sexual experiences, pressure to “perform,” overstimulation, and avoidance. Losing an erection does not automatically mean something is physically wrong—or that you are not attracted enough. Often, the fear of it happening again becomes the very thing that keeps the cycle going.

  5 Reasons So Many Gay Men Think They’re Bad at Sex

  Jul 26, 20268 min

  Why do so many gay men walk away from sex convinced they performed badly—even when nothing actually went wrong? In this episode, therapist Michael Pezzullo explores five reasons gay men often mistake anxiety, insecurity, and unrealistic expectations for being “bad at sex.” From getting stuck on negative experiences to comparison and performance pressure, these patterns can turn sex into an evaluation instead of an experience. You’ll learn why sexual confidence is not about performing perfectly, how anxiety pulls you out of the moment, and what it takes to build a more relaxed, secure relationship with your body and sexuality.

  5 Penis Facts Every Gay Man Should Know

  Jul 20, 20268 min

  Most gay men have never been taught what a normal penis looks like—or how a healthy erection actually works. Instead, we compare ourselves to porn, unrealistic expectations, and a culture that often turns sex into a performance. In this episode, I break down five penis facts that every gay man should know. We talk about why most men are growers, why bottoms don't have to stay hard, why erections aren't something you can force, why your penis won't perform the same way every day, and why erectile dysfunction is often psychological rather than physical. More importantly, we explore what these facts reveal about the pressure so many gay men carry in the bedroom—and how understanding your body can help you build real sexual confidence. If you've ever worried that something was wrong with your body, this episode is for you. Work with me: https://www.michaelpezzullo.com/work-with-me I also created a free reflection guide to help you understand your erection patterns, insecurities, and the beliefs shaping your sexual confidence.
