In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys hop in their DeLorean and discuss the future of bears. The cubs gather together to talk about what another 30 to 40 years down the road might look like for the broader bear community. From disappearing bear runs to growing inclusivity, listen in as the guys ponder the next steps of the community.

Bears in the Future
The cubs gather together to talk about what another 30 to 40 years down the road might look like for the broader bear community. Will runs still exist? Are more animals coming into the menagerie? What about the ‘aging’ of the cubs in the year to come?
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the cubs welcome back their good pal & frequent LTAS guest host, Daddy Hadrian! After a 4-year hiatus, the professional pervert is back to catch us up on his life, his new career, and his opinions. From moving to Palm Springs to doing porn full time, listen in as Daddy Hadrian fills us in on the good, the bad, and the in-between (and who wouldn’t want to be filled by Daddy Hadrian?).

Daddy is BACK!
Hadrian returns to visit the cubs and get out loud as we discuss what’s happened since their last time together back in COL524: LTAS: What Porn Taught Us – Part Three on 9/8/19. [First ep was COL233: Depends On The Sausage You Eat, recorded 10/20/2013]
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Landscape of Relationships. Dr. Edward Angelini-Cooke joins the cubs again to discuss sexual desire. While not a usual LoR topic, it can be part of the conversation. Listen as Ed speaks on the complicated definition of sexual desire, where it comes from, and what impacts it in our day-to-day lives.

Landscape of Relationships: Sexual Desire
First, sexual desire is complicated.
Is it an emotion? Yes
Is it a motivation? Yes
Is it a state of being? Yes
Is it required to have sex? Not necessarily
Sexual desire is the interest (or lack of interest) toward engaging in sexual activity. This presents itself with thoughts, feelings, and fantasies. Some people look at sexual desire existing on a spectrum from disgust to neutral to excited.
One way I have heard sexual desire described is akin to hunger. And I like this analogy for a few reasons that we will discuss.
Let’s go back to the idea of a smorgasbord….let’s imagine that there is not a Golden Corral that can hold the variety of sexual desire (Rule 34 of the Internet). So when we talk about sexual desire, the limit does not seem to exist.
What impacts sexual desire?
Biology/Evolution
Age can be a factor, Propagation of the species (sex as a reward); amygdala (emotional center) and hypothalamus (responsible for sexual arousal) Men’s desire is more based on visual cues when compared to women, cued interest “we don’t know why we desire something” v. uncued interest “has an origin story”; the “absolute territory” (Japanese zettai ryouiki), the band of skin between the bottom of the end of the skirt and the top of the socks. Disclaimer: this is based on statistics and not all human behavior can be reduced to statistics. If this isn’t your experience, it does not mean you are not valid.
Anxiety, Unhelpful body/sexual narratives, other sexual disorders
Social
Cultural sexual narratives and scripts
“For most of Western Civilization low sexual desire has been a goal, not a problem.” – David Schnarch
In a sex negative world, no wonder people are so confused about their sexual desires or lack thereof. Remember the sexual smorgasbord idea? If dominating cultural narratives created the smorgasbord, then there would only be a few options for a few people….the rest would be closed.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s another All T No Shade episode. For this one, the guys discuss the “rebirth” of Tumblr. After recent announcements made by the site indicate a possibility of mature, adult content (RE: porn), the cubs ponder the renaissance of the site after the exodus of 2018. Will Tumblr return from the dead as a source of spank bank material or is it still just a dead man walking?

ATNS: Tumblr’s Second Chance?
Word online is that Tumblr changed their permissions/T&C to allow adult content. Does this mean there’s a second chance for XXX Tumblr to return? Will people leave Twitter? Let’s chew on that.
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
