In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Let’s Talk About Sex. This time the guys bring us up to speed on monkeypox, now known as mpox, and the current talk about its continued presence in the MSM community. While not nearly as talked about as last year, mpox is still around, so the cubs are bringing it back to the table for further discussion.

LTAS: Mpox 2023 Update
Let’s Talk About Sex series returns. A year ago we discussed social media and the development of Monkeypox cases in the MSM community. Mpox cases have not gone away completely, so let’s check on where things stand this summer.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the cubs come together to share a few of their favorite things. With the holidays fast approaching, the guys give you some ideas of items they have enjoyed this year as potential gifts for your friends, co-workers or, hell, even yourself!

Our Fave Things ‘22
It’s the holiday season once again and the COL hosts are offering up some ideas for potential items to share or gift to loved ones. Heck, you could even give something to yourself. Think of it as a precursor to what’s in Santa’s sack. [Not like that, you dirty bearcubs; or maybe..]
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s our What’s Going On for the month of April. With April showers and snow and all the weather in between, listen in as the cubs indulge you with their going-ons as we reach the end of the first third of the year.

5/1/22 01:24am – Hey Damon! Thanks for the shout out! I am doing less porn, but did 3 recently for Bearfilms this past November. I can’t believe that I will be 59 this year and still going through the motions. Thank you for mentioning me and glad you enjoy this old daddy bear! Sincerely, Steve Sommers

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys are joined once again by Edward Angelini-Cooke for an in depth discussion on relationships. For this second part, the guys delve into boundaries and rules. With Edward’s help, the cubs discuss the similarities and differences between these two terms, how they relate to each person and those involved in the relationship, and also discord on the potential minefield of expectations. How do we set our boundaries? Are expectations a good or a bad thing? What’s on your relationship checklist? The guys hash out these questions and more.
Show Topic
The Landscape of Relationships – Boundaries and Rules
Boundaries (“I Will/I Won’t”) v. Rules/Agreements/Expectations (“You/We Won’t”)
debated topic within relationship communities
Is this a rule or a boundary?
Boundary as skin metaphor (protects us from bacteria, allows the good stuff in and sweats the bad stuff out, elastic with limitations [you can break skin], boundaries are about me
Rules are about us and you, jealousy, usually some form of control
Pros and Cons of Rules
Pros:
Contracts
Establishing or Re-establishing solid foundation of connection and intimacy
Conditional…not unilateral or controlling
Spoken
Cons:
Can be Controlling
Can be rigid and unhealthy
Can be Set up to be broken
Unspoken
Agreements are similar to the idea of a relationship contract or vows
Expectations are resentments waiting to happen
Kinds of Personal Boundaries
Emotional
Example: Don’t go to the hardware store for bread
Physical
Examples: allergies, personal bubble, DON’T COME INTO MY ROOM, MOM!!!!
Time
Examples: don’t make plans within 24 hours, I have office hours on Tuesdays
Sexual
Examples: Consent, Refer to checklist
Intellectual
Examples: Agree to disagree, awareness of who and what you are talking about
Material
Examples: Don’t lend out money, I need that sling back by Friday etc
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s another Bear Experience Action Readiness or BEAR show. This time around, the cubs channel their inner Joan Rivers and discuss “What are you wearing?”. Just in time for NAB, the guys talk about what to and what not to wear at your next bear run, leather event, or pool party.

Comment on “COL450: Gay Genetics” by Chris Greene “Dr. Cisco really nailed it. Great breakdown of the meaning of studies, how to draw conclusions, and method of explaining some complex genetic concepts to non-scientists. Thanks for having him on!”
