This week our hosts suit up in spandex for a wild Q&A with content creator Denzel Dixon, a prominent player in NYC’s gay wrestling fetish scene. Growing up, Denzel liked imitating WWE moves with his friends, until he realized he liked it a little too much. It wasn’t until Denzel grew up and found the website MeetFighters.com that he turned his lifelong obsession into hot, sweaty, lucrative fun. Denzel teaches Gabe and Chris all about the wrestling fetish scene and answers the most important question of all: when do we take the singlets off?

Pop Culture Free-For-All with Ira Madison III
Historically, pop culture has been so important to LGBTQ people, not only because we often experience sexual awakenings to figures in the media we consume, but also because so many of our favorite films, shows, and records have been created by queer people. In this episode, Gabe and Chris have a freewheeling discussion about pop culture, erotic discovery, porn parodies, cruising and Buffy slashfic, with our favorite podcaster and author: Ira Madison III. Then, a cruising confession from a horny French slut has Gabe and Chris saying “sacre bleu!” Follow Sniffies' Cruising Confessions: cruisingconfessions.com Try Sniffies: sniffies.com Follow Sniffies on Social: Instagram: instagram.com/sniffiesapp X: x.com/sniffiesapp TikTik: tiktok.com/@sniffiesapp Follow the hosts: Gabe Gonzalez: instagram.com/gaybonez Chris Patterson-Rosso: instagram.com/cprgivesyoulife Guests featured in this episode: Ira Madison III: https://www.instagram.com/irathethird/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sex, Drugs, and Harm Reduction
This week, Gabe and Chris dive into the complex topic of chemsex—the pairing of party drugs and sex—within queer and trans communities. Poet and performer Joss Barton shares how her gender journey began with an acid trip and how exploring pleasure through substances became part of her story. But it wasn’t until she began incorporating her experiences into her wild, hilarious performances that she started to break free from the stigma trans women often face around drug use and reassess her own relationship with it. That’s harm reduction, mama! In a raw and raunchy interview, Joss unpacks the highs and lows of getting high and horny, and how the U.S. government's escalating attacks on trans people are shaping her community’s use of chems. Then, a harm reduction expert joins the conversation to share tips for safer drug use and how to seek support when it’s time to cool it down.

The PrEPisode
The 2012 FDA approval of PrEP as a tool for HIV prevention gave HIV-negative queers anxiety-free access to the sexual freedoms of the 1970s. But writer Daniel Sanchez Torres says PrEP didn’t exactly make things easier for HIV positive folks who still face stigma, rejection, and fetishization from HIV negative folks. In this episode Chris, Gabe and Daniel discuss the varied impacts of PrEP and U=U on their sex and cruising experiences. Then, a listener shares a cruising confession about an encounter that has our hosts very, very afraid… Follow Sniffies' Cruising Confessions: cruisingconfessions.com Try Sniffies: sniffies.com Follow Sniffies on Social: Instagram: instagram.com/sniffiesapp X: x.com/sniffiesapp TikTik: tiktok.com/@sniffiesapp Follow the hosts: Gabe Gonzalez: instagram.com/gaybonez Chris Patterson-Rosso: instagram.com/cprgivesyoulife Guests featured in this episode: Daniel Sanchez-Torres: https://www.instagram.com/sup_dst/ supdst.com supdst.com/newsletter Everything Matters Press https://www.instagram.com/everythingmatters.press/ https://everythingmatters.press/shop/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

9-1-1? There’s a Woman In the Dark Room!
It seems like every year there’s another nasty social media debate about the presence of women in gay bars and darkrooms. But Gabe and Chris are sick of gay bros who think gay bars should be exclusively gay boy spaces. In this hilariously filthy episode, Crush and Frankie, a bisexual M-F content creator couple who go cruising together, make a case for why women should be welcomed, not shunned, in gay bars, and yes, even sex spaces, then offer tips and tricks for respectful interactions on both sides.
