Judson enjoys a restorative night to himself. Brian bemoans his recent difficulties making hookups happen. The two share thoughts about keeping sex with their husbands steamy after more than a decade of marriage. The Hookup of the Week finds a listener flying some particularly friendly skies. Brian and Judson are then joined by Vanity Fair culture writer Chris Murphy, making his return to the podcast after serving as Dads and Daddies’ very first guest 60 episodes ago! Chris updates the two on his living situation with his boyfriend and debates the virtues of repeat hookups. The three discuss the recent article from New York Magazine’s “The Cut,” titled “We’ve Reached Peak Gay Sluttiness,” written by Steven Phillips-Horst, which is all the buzz within the gay male community. Chris shares his concerns about the demise of reading in our culture, and Brian shares his experience attending “Masquerade,” the new immersive version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” Off-Broadway. Chris then helps Brian and Judson respond to this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question, which comes from a listener seeking advice about how to handle the rejection he feels when his husband isn’t in the mood for sex.
