Trafalgar Square Makeout And Listener Response
- Dan shares a 1987 anecdote of making out in Trafalgar Square and later feeling ashamed until he heard from a closeted listener.
- The listener framed public displays as potential courage and visibility for closeted people.
Expect Acknowledgement For Sexts
- If someone asks you to send intimate photos and you comply, expect at least a brief acknowledgement in return.
- Ask them about it in person and stop sending sexual favors if they react defensively or stay dismissive.
Negotiate Autonomy To Reignite Sex
