S9E09: Ask a Sex Therapist: What Happens if I Come Out Later in Life? With Dr. Joe Kort
Update: 2025-08-19
Description
This summer, we're reflecting on the ten most common questions we hear from our relationship and sex therapy clients.
Growing up in a high control religious space means that queer people often have to repress their sexuality, and may not come out until their late 20s, 30s, or later, which has significant impacts on sexuality and relationship development.
We are thrilled to have Dr. Joe Kort, host of the Smart Sex, Smart Love podcast and author of Side Guys, to talk with us about how Evangelical, Mormon, and Pentecostal communities negatively impact the coming out process. Joe talks with us about:
- The culture of covert trauma
- The stages of coming out
- The loss of privilege that accompanies coming out
- Finding an affirmative therapist
- Sides, sexual fluidity, and Grindr
