While Pride is often seen as a time for parades and rainbow flags, it can also be a reminder of the trauma, shame, and disconnection that many LGBTQ+ people, especially gay men, carry within themselves. Yet Pride can also be a time of reclamation, offering an opportunity to honor queer joy and reconnect with our desires and authentic selves.

In this episode, Court Vox, a leading somatic sex educator, surrogate partner, and founder of The BodyVox, joins us to discuss how we can heal through pleasure and reclaim Pride as a celebration of embodied authenticity, connection, and the radical act of embracing our fullest selves.
