Sex & Dating

Gay men chat about our health and the world we live in - uncensored and extra length!

Why you should listen to this episode…

In our overcrowded and noisy media, the voices of older gay and bisexual men often get lost. Well, no longer. Every episode of Doctor DILF: Extra Length features three elder gays talking about their own experiences of life and the topic of the week. It’s candid, honest, and very, very human. Doctor DILF: Extra Length serves as a counterpoint to expert advice through featuring the experts by experience - older gay and bisexual men themselves. By listening to both Doctor DILF and Doctor DILF: Extra Length, it is hoped that the listeners will gain many perspectives on the subject of the week, enabling them to make up their own minds, and hopefully, to provide motivation and inspiration. Warm and funny, Doctor DILF: Extra Length is your companion on a run, in the gym, or to your nice cup of tea and a sponge finger.

In this episode, Simon, James, and John have a revealing and no-holds-barred discussion on sex and dating. The boys reminisce about dodgy lonely hearts adverts in the back of the paper, internet cafes in the dead of night, and the current dating apps. Stories of strange one-night-stands and sauna visits are recounted, and they ponder over dating app etiquette and behaviours. Finally, the lads wonder if there’s pressure to have sex on the gay scene, if sex changes with age, their early encounters with kink, and the delights of Gran Canaria dark rooms.

Trigger Warning: This podcast contains descriptions of sexual activity. All the good stuff.
