Summary

On this Unfiltered, I'm joined by Sam, a man who opens up about his experience recognizing and accepting his asexuality. He shares what his early experiences with sex and dating were like and how he came to realize that sex isn't something he needs to feel connected to somebody. He shares his journey of finding himself and finding the love of his life. Plus, we hear about his experience coming out to friends and family and trying to find his place in the LGBTQIA+ community.

It's Thursday.

0:25.6

Think you're alone out there?

0:26.8

Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up with your mom or whose last date ended up being a catfish?

0:31.7

Think again.
