The Let’s Talk About Sex returns and this episode in the series the terrain of dudes having fun but this isn’t ‘no homo’ and yet it’s also not meet me in the backroom territory either. With the progression of a society from the puritanical past thru the nuclear family era, what exactly are these ‘homoflexible’ and ‘heteroflexible’ descriptions on the websites and apps?

It’s still 2026 and Father’s Day is right around the corner. In the last episode we discussed our history with Daddies. Recently we’ve seen the rise in interest and label of Daddy. Prior to the infamous year we lost [aka 2020], the conversation was about Dad Bods; guys a little thicker and/or with a belly on them. 

In 2023 interest in older gay men was reported to have moved from ageist ideas to a known preference [source: Queerty Daddy Era article]. In 2024, the spicy web platform Squirt.org reported the Daddy category of porn ranking as 6 in the Top 10 categories users seek out. And last year, Pride.com reported ‘14 Reasons Why Gays Love Daddies…’.

What do we think of the rise of popularity and interest in Daddies now? Have we found ourselves being the focus of interest by others because of perceived Daddiness?

It’s 2026 and Father’s Day is coming up soon. Prior to 2020, the concept of Daddy was different than where we are today. As guys that came out and grew into adulthood in the 90s, what did we think was a Daddy? Were there preconceived ideas about older guys as an object of desire? Did we think or view men labeled as Daddies a certain way in the past?

The Let’s Talk About Sex returns and this episode in the series touches on the aural turn ons. That’s aural, as in what you hear. Do the things said and heard during sexy time improve the experience? What about just noises in general?

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys return to a familiar topic to give it a deeper look. After recently discussing the future of bear runs (see COL818), new developments and losses to the bear community at large give the cubs reason to readdress this uncertainty. Taking time to deliberate the history and potential decline of bear culture, listen in as the guys discuss what the future holds for the community. Is it truly dying out or is it shifting and molding into something new.

Show Topics

In episode 818, we talked about the future of bear runs here in the US. In the past couple of weeks, we found out that another bear run is coming to an end. A tech founder from the earliest days for the bear online culture foundation left this mortal coil. 

Recently some were informed of the passing of one of the founders of the Bear Mailing List, aka the infamous BML in 1986. For those that don’t know, 

The Bears’ Mailing List (aka BML) is an Internet mailing list in digest format for gay and bisexual men who are bears themselves and for those who enjoy the company of bears. It is hosted by Roger Klorese and Henry Mensch. The BML is designed to be a forum to bring together folks with similar interests for conversation, friendship and sharing of experiences. Steve Dyer and Brian Gollum started the mailing list in  August 1988, and since then it has grown to a community of more than 1400 men (and a few women) world-wide.  On average, a new digest 20-30K bytes long arrives via email every other day or so. Source: http://www.qrd.org/qrd/electronic/email/bears 

As founders and developers leave our lives, are we seeing the decline of Bear Culture at large? As we are facing an aging population, the question begs what of the Bear Culture at large? Or is this only happening here in the United States? Perhaps we’re entering a new chapter where things will be different than before

Does the Bear pride flag have meaning anymore? Does the return of the Bear History Project foretell that we need to document and archive our community before it’s gone?

• Damon: In This Together CMC 
• Gary: Aging is a Flex that sometimes hurts
