Summary
An extra long, extra hot and extra horny episode with two former guests; comedian James Tom and writer/producer Sydney Baloue all about their lives as gay trans men -- and how it compares to their former lives living as lesbian women. We talk about losing different virginities, taking virginities, and SO many spots to go if you are looking to hook up as a gay trans man. Syd and James both share very similar experiences but are so different at the same time. It is a conversation about trans joy and sexual pleasure vs. all the crap that is going on politically and socially right now. Happy PRIDE!
