Sniffies' Cruising Confessions

Finding a doctor is easier said than done. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a gay doctor, so where does an ethical slut get actual good medical advice these days? This episode explores how to find a primary care provider or specialist when it comes to sexual health. How do you overcome the fear of being judged, especially when healthcare options are already limited by insurance and access? We ask all the dumb questions so you don’t have to.  Giving fabulous insight once again is primary care provider Jake Collins PA-C. The content of this podcast is not intended to be medical advice.

We've all got 'em. We've all sent 'em. Some of us, maybe to the wrong person. This episode is about n*des — the currency of the apps — and the surprisingly rich etiquette surrounding intimate photos. We're walking through the psychology of sending (and withholding), the highly subjective Do's and Don'ts of composing them, and the eternal question: What makes a good one? What makes a catastrophic one? And what are the funniest nudes that have ever been sent to us? And are nudes art? An ethereal journey? Comedian Honey Pluton joins us with strong opinions and also, weirdly, spiritual advice.

What does sexual responsibility look like to you? In the age of PrEP, PEP, testing, and contact tracing, there are more tools than ever to help us protect ourselves and our partners — but as we learned in our Puerto Rico episode, stigma and political barriers can still get in the way. How has sexual responsibility evolved beyond condoms and abstinence? How can community care keep us safer? And how do we navigate the shame and judgment that can come with basic sexual health? Answering questions is primary care provider Jake Collins PA-C. The content of this podcast is not intended to be medical advice.

Beaches, Bad Bunny, a quick gaycation escape — these are things we think of when we think of Puerto Rico, but it's so much more than that. PR is one of the richest queer communities in the world, so Sniffies is on the ground in San Juan with this extra special travel episode. We dive deep into the world's oldest colony: health disparities, political movements, activism, nightlife, and perreando. How do Puerto Ricans cruise, party, and thrive on their own terms? Our guests are Vico Ortiz and Ane Hernandez, hosts of the bilingual podcast “Mucho Mucho Amor,” who join us with all the context and joy this conversation deserves. Plus, we conduct some field reporting talking to queer Puerto Ricans on the street!   Hungry for more Sniffies’ Cruising Confessions?

Inspired by our Cruising 401 episode, we dig deeper into the history of HIV prevention and how it’s progressed into the age of PrEP and the Undetectable=Untransmittable movement. Whether you’re weighing your prevention options or navigating the world as a person living with HIV, there’s never been a better time to be an ethical slut. Do people living with HIV have an obligation to disclose their status to sexual partners? How is the history of U=U entwined with prevention activism?  Back in the studio is infectious disease physician Dr. Demetre Daskalakis.
