    Go Ask Alex: My partner lost his sex drive after we committed. Now what?
    You mentioned in a recent article that you have struggled with a lack of sex drive when you love someone (and mentioned avoidant attachment styles).My partner and I are going through an identical thing, where he lost his libido after we settled into a committed relationship. We love each other so much and have talked about it a bunch, plus hes had therapy regarding finding ways to bring sex back into our relationship. We are open, which also helps scratch the itch, but he is the man I love, and I need to believe we will get through this and find each other again. I am doing everything in my power to give him space when he needs it and put zero pressure on him, but the truth is, when we are together, I am on fire for him, and its hard to continually feel rejected. Could you offer any advice on how you have navigated this and what worked? Thank you so much! Hey there, I dont know if its as easy as that if there are things that work, strategies for bringing back the heat, especially with people like me. If you love each other deeply, is there no possibility of transitioning to a loving relationship that doesnt involve much sex perhaps a setup where others meet your sexual needs? My longest and best relationship was like that. He was my platonic life partner, and the relationship was so good that I will measure all future boyfriends against him. He and I still had intimacy we cuddled, watched TV, cooked together, and did everything else but sexually, we had similar struggles. We had a hard time keeping the heat in committed relationships. Lucky for us, we were the same. We met our sexual needs with others, then came home and cuddled after. Whatever way forward you choose, I think there is very little you can do. This is his responsibility his trauma, his work, his stuff. The responsibility falls on him to understand how he works, communicates, and makes the extra effort. He probably wont ever fix his struggles with sex Im not sure I think thats possible for adults. But he can acknowledge, as I have, that this is his burden, his responsibility, his thing to manage within the relationship, not yours. Thats a big realization. For a long time, I thought everyone else was just clingy and too attached I thought I was the only sane, reasonable person in the dating game. Wrong: I had real, severe sex and intimacy issues. In therapy, I realized its not other peoples job to adapt to my ways its my job to adapt to theirs. My sex issues are my business, and I have to work on them; sometimes that work simply means recognizing when Im shutting down sexually because someone is getting too close because the feelings are getting a little strong and doing my best (not always successfully) to keep the heat going, because I love them. The fact is, I cant change how I am and your man cant either. But awareness helps guys like us communicate effectively through the problem, ask for space and patience, and convey how we feel. After that, I just have to hope my partners will be kind and understanding. Thats the best I can do. Thats the best he can do too. He wont suddenly turn on his sex drive if hes lost it and if hes like me, he likely feels deeply frustrated and ashamed about that. He probably feels broken, like hes letting down someone he loves. (And, just to be blunt: He is.) He probably wishes he could be on fire for you too. He may not be able to convey that wish to you he may never be able to but if hes avoidant, he wishes it, and that has to be enough for you, or you should leave him. I mean that. If it gets too much if the sting of being continually rejected gets too painful, as it surely must be you will need to make a difficult choice: You should either let go of him sexually and keep him as a loving, platonic life partner while seeking a fiery sexual relationship (or several) elsewhere, or you should leave him. Because your needs matter too. I know thats a brutal choice. Its not fair. But, my dear, hes in therapy. Hes doing the work. Do you know how few men are in therapy for their intimacy issues? Theres just not much more you can ask of him. If hes still not turning on the sex if hes not initiating its because he cant, and thats his problem. Its not because of anything youve done wrong. This is probably just what happens when he knows someone as deeply and intimately as he knows you. Hes probably beating himself up over this, but that doesnt take away the fact that your needs are not being met. Since he cant meet them, you should satisfy them with someone else. I admit: I have reservations about attachment theory. I believe it can serve as a valuable starting point for self-reflection, but I struggle with its fundamental premise. I bristle against any theory that categorizes people so neatly, and I scratch my head a bit at the claim that how were handled as babies shapes our entire adult romantic lives. A plethora of other factors must surely come into play. Would I be so avoidant if I werent a gay man born to conservative, homophobic parents? Ive read Attached by Drs. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller the book was such a hit that its all but standardized how people speak about this subject and it makes little mention of the role that social factors like homophobia and religion play in a persons development. Attachment theory focuses heavily on babies and postnatal care. But my avoidance, if anything, is a defense I learned in high school, when two people I trusted became, overnight, the parents who still break my heart today. Im avoidant because my first life lesson was how to shut down around the unsafe people I loved. Knowing this after years of therapy I can tell partners when I need space. And, knowing I am likely to shut down sexually, I can make extra effort to turn someone on and initiate sex even fake it in order to show them love and care. Thats what I have to do sometimes. Your partner may not quite be there yet, and thats OK. Decide what you can bear and how long you can bear it. Youre allowed to put your needs first. If theres been no progress after a set time, Id say its best to turn off the sex drive with him and fire it up with someone else or let him go entirely. I know it hurts. On behalf of him and all avoidant types, Im sorry. In case this story helps:Mmy book editor knows me better than anyone, and he once advised a man who was trying to win my affection. He said, Alex is like a butterfly. If you try to catch him in a net, youll kill him. Its very frustrating, but you have to stand very still and wait for the butterfly to land on your shoulder. It might not happen often, and not as soon as you like, but when it does, its wonderful. And then the butterfly flies off again.He told me this years later, and as much as I bristled at being so summarily understood, he was right. With avoidant types, its a waiting game. Dont wait forever. Hey there! Im Alexander Cheves. Im a sex writer and former sex workerI worked in the business for over 12 years. You can read my sex-and-culture column Last Call in Out and my book My Love Is a Beast: Confessions, from Unbound Edition Press. But be warned: Kirkus Reviews says the book is "not for squeamish readers.In the past, I directed (ahem) adult videos and sold adult products.

  • Anti Ice Protest Signs In New York City
    WWW.OUT.COM
    Judge orders immediate release of gay Jamaican asylum seeker detained by ICE
    A federal judge in Manhattan has ordered the immediate release of a gay asylum seeker from Jamaica, finding that ICE violated his right to due process. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres ordered the agency to release Rickardo Anthony Kelly, 40, more than two weeks after he was detained while waiting for his asylum hearing at a courthouse accompanied by his attorney. Agents reportedly offered him $1,000 to self-deport, and apprehended him when he refused."In light of the undisputed facts, there is no doubt that [ICE's] ongoing detention of [Kelly] with no process at all, much less prior notice, no showing of changed circumstances, or an opportunity to respond, violates his due process rights," Torres wrote in her ruling, issued Friday. Kelly said in his initial writ of habeas corpus petition that he came to the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2021 shortly after he was the victim of a violent attack motivated by his sexual orientation, during which he was shot ten times. He warned that deporting him to Jamaica would put him at risk, and that keeping him in custody could cause him to experience severe and quite possibly fatal medical complications as a diabetic.Kelly described the conditions of the ICE facility he was detained at as unconscionable, inhumane, and horrific. He claimed he was kept in a room with nearly 100 other detainees that had only three toilets, no doors, and no showers, and that he was not provided with clean clothes, toiletries, or any other way to maintain basic hygiene.Kelly said he was forced to sleep on the floor without a blanket, and was only provided with food twice per day freeze-dried rice and beans, often cold. He also claimed that he was denied access to his diabetes medication, and instead given a substitute that had previously caused him adverse effects.Kelly currently works as a security guard in New York City. He was arrested under the Laken Riley Act, which mandates detention without bond for non-citizens charged with or convicted of theft, assault, or other violent crimes. Kelly has a pending third-degree assault charge that he said stems from a domestic dispute which prosecutors have not moved forward with. The case is expected to expire this month under the Speedy Trial Act.The suggestion that government agents may sweep up any person they wish and hold that person in the conditions in which Kelly was held without consideration of dangerousness or flight risk so long as the person will, at some unknown point in time, be allowed to ask some other official for his or her release offends the ordered system of liberty that is the pillar of the Fifth Amendment, Torres concluded.

    Julia Fox comes out as pansexualstill not interested in dating men
    Model and internet It Girl Julia Fox is opening up about her sexuality more than ever before.Fox, gracing the cover of Allure Next's latest issue, says that she identifies as pansexual but still isn't interested in dating men."I don't have to entertain men anymore," Fox says in the interview, adding that she doesn't miss being with men "at all.""The way my life is, I can't see why a man would be beneficial. I'm laser-focused on being a good mom, on being a good provider, on making my dreams come true," Fox says. "There's just so much more you can do with your time than waiting around to see if a guy's going to text you back or not." Julia Fox for Allure NextMichael Maras/Allure"I'm pansexual; I could be attracted to anyone and anything," Fox says, labelling her sexuality. "If it were just down to physical, I'm more attracted to the female body. Men don't do it for me at all [physically], but I can be attracted to a man's mind. I'm a vibes person." However, she doesn't mention how trans and nonbinary bodies fit into that.Fox also said she's "definitely had crushes and did some stuff, but it's never gotten to full relationship status" with a woman. Julia Fox on the cover of Allure Next, August 2025Michael Maras/AllureFox says that women often have a harder time figuring out their sexuality because society programs them to perform for men. She remembers having several "psycho codependent besties" with whom her friendships were more than platonic."Looking back, I'm like, 'Oh my God, we were in a relationship.' But there was no way I was going to admit that to myself, and I couldn't, because so much of my survival was hinged upon men taking care of me.In 2024, Fox shared a TikTok where a comedian joked, "I love when I see a lesbian with their boyfriend. It's like, 'Aww, you hate that man. You literally hate him.'"Fox replied by stitching that video with a new one of herself, saying: "Hey, that was me. I was that lesbian. So sorry, boys. Won't happen again."A profile on her later that year in The Times said she "thinks she's a lesbian." "I'd definitely be up for a relationship with a woman. You cannot equate that to a relationship with a man," she said. "With a woman, you're with your bestie, whereas ultimately, men are always going to prioritize other men over you. Men love other men and masculine shit, and watching homoerotic things such as wrestling and football. In this toxic culture, I dont think theres room for them to love me." See on Instagram

  • Us President Donald Trump Meets With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky In The Oval Office
    WWW.OUT.COM
    If it means saving Ukraine and not caving to Putin, European leaders think the answer is kissing Trumps a**
    At the risk of sounding crass, lets just say the quiet part out loud: Donald Trump loves to have his ass kissed more than any other human on earth. Its so pathetic. Nauseating. He feeds off it. He thrives on it. He needs it like oxygen, or in his case Diet Cokes. From the moment he strutted across television screens on The Apprentice, we saw the hints of a man whose ego was as bloated as his legs. The show was less about business than about a series based on sycophancy. The contestants who learned fastest that success meant showering the boss with compliments usually survived another week.Trump has never changed that formula. In fact, as our ruling dictator, he demands it, and is as addicted to flattery as hes ever been.Weve seen it in his Cabinet meetings, those absolutely absurd spectacles where grown men and women froth at the mouth at their Dear Leader. Cabinet members used to be the stewards of American democracy, but in their era of Trump, their only responsibility is to line up to praise him. The flattery is so over the top that its impossible to keep a straight face. Trump used to own beauty pageants, or something like that, so hes now, as president, presiding over a loyalty pageant. And Trump adores every second of it.Fast forward to last Friday and Monday, and the same grotesque performance is being performed on the world stage.Take Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. On an earlier visit to the White House, Zelenskyy was castigated for not groveling enough. Trump, egged on by loyalists like his little lapdog, JD Vance, accused Zelenskyy of being ungrateful. Trump all but threw him out of the building. But this time around, Zelenskyy knew better. He arrived with exaggerated humility that seemed to pop-up into every sentence, thanking Trump repeatedly, expressing gratitude not only for military aid but for Trumps leadership, and even Melanias letter to Putin. Trump was smiling broadly for the cameras, just soaking it up, visibly pleased, as though Zelenskyy had finally passed the test of the best way to laud Trump. Flattery is now Zelenskyys new strategy to save his citizens from Russia's continued attacks following Russia's invasion of Ukraine several years ago.European leaders have figured this out, too. After the debacle in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where Trump once again looked like the willing mark in Putins game of adulation, Europes top leaders realized they couldnt risk leaving Trump alone. In the middle of their traditional August break, they hastily flew to Washington, as if to build a protective ring around Trump, keeping him from wandering off into the arms of the Russian autocrat. The calculation was simple: better to butter up Trump together than risk watching him give away the store to Putin.And butter him up, they did. Frances Emanuel Macron, Britains Keir Starmer, and Italy's Giorgia Meloni all paid their due homage to the hoarder of homage. Even those who privately roll their eyes and laugh at his buffoonery found the words to stroke his ego in public, knowing that survival depends not on strength or principle, but on how well you flatter Trump.Trump has become the worlds most fragile strongman, needing constant reassurance, constant validation, constant praise. My God, what have we come to fawning over this pitiable old man?Is it disgusting? Absolutely. Is it beneath the dignity of global leadership? Without question. Watching heads of state trip over themselves to inflate Trumps balloon-sized ego feels like a dissing of diplomacy. But heres the ugly truth, and thats if kissing Trumps ass is the price of keeping Ukrainians alive, keeping Putin boxed in, and keeping Europe secure, then maybe thats the cost of peace. But its a dangerous approach.History offers a haunting and gruesome parallel. The appeasement of Hitler in the 1930s taught Europe what happens when you misread a tyrants ambitions and think appeasing is the answer. There is no question that Putin is cut from that same cloth. Hes ruthless, deceivingly patient, and hungry for more. He cant be trusted. And European leaders know it. So they choose to appease the lesser of two evils. They swallow their pride. They flatter Trump, and they hope that by keeping him content, he wont hand Ukraine over on a platter to the hungry Putin or look the other way as Putin eyes Finland, for example, as he seeks to grow his empire.Its so pitiful, yes, but it may also be the only way forward. Leaders have tried confronting Trump, reasoning with him, even shaming him, and they keep failing or at least maintaining the status quo. But, they need to keep this in mind, and that is that Trump is the ultimate loser. The Art of the Deal was a hoax. Russia for that matter, wasnt.Trump has never won at anything, he screwed up everything he touches, so if European leaders are putting their trust in Trump to fix Russias invasion of Ukraine (it's not a war, its a one-sided assault), the world will lose in a way that might be unimaginable.The man responds to only one thing praise. So they pile it on. Hes told hes a dealmaker, a peacemaker, a visionary. Hes told hes strong, wise, and essential to the future of the West. None of it is true. It just needs to keep him from siding with Putin and betraying Ukraine.This is where we are, global leaders reduced to crawling up the derrire of a 79-year-old man because the alternative, emboldening Putin, is far worse. They dont have to like it. But until Trump leaves the stage, this is the grotesque game of survival.The only problem is that peace at the price of dignity rarely lasts. When you build foreign policy on flattery, youre building a house of cards. Trump may be momentarily satisfied, but his appetite for adoration is endless. Sooner or later, someone will slip, fail to praise loudly enough than Putin, or dare to suggest reality, and the house of cards will wobble, and because theyre in Trumps hands, the cards will fall.So yes, kiss Trumps ass if it keeps him from kissing Putins ring. Just dont confuse it for a strategy. Its a survival tactic, and survival tactics only last until the next crisis that Trump will undoubtedly create.Voices is dedicated to featuring a wide range of inspiring personal stories and impactful opinions from the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.

  • Hillary Clinton Global Initiative Summit In New York 2023

    Hillary Clinton warns SCOTUS will overturn marriage equality
    Hillary Clinton believes the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn marriage equality, and she's urging LGBTQ+ couples to get married while they still can.The former Secretary of State and presidential candidate predicted that the court would reverse Obergefell v. Hodges in an interview with Jessica Tarlov of Fox News' The Five, warning that "there are going to be real world consequences.""American voters, and to some extent the American media, don't understand how many years the Republicans have been working in order to get us to this point," Clinton said. "It took 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court will hear a case about gay marriage. My prediction is they will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion. They will send it back to the states."@thetnhollerWATCH: @HillaryClinton predicts to @JessicaTarlov that SCOTUS will overturn marriage equality and send it back to the states (like abortion) leading to a ban in much of On Trump & Republicans stealing seats: they dont want a fair fight Full: https://youtu.be/L4h9wllCtLo?si=QSnQgAPUvel8b9HIIf the Supreme Court reverses Obergefell , marriages between same-sex couples will still be recognized federally under the Respect for Marriage Act. Signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2022, the act mandates that the federal government recognizes same-sex and interracial marriages, and that all states recognize those performed in other states. The act does not require states to allow marriages between same-sex couples. As state bans on these unions were struck down in Obergefell, such bans could be enacted again if Obergefell is overturned. If that were to happen, the fallout would likely be similar to that after Roe v. Wade's reversal, in which red states immediately enacted bans.Related: Will marriage equality be overturned? Here's how it could happen While the Supreme Court has made no official move to reconsider marriage equality, nine states have recently introduced resolutions asking the court to hear the case again. None have yet passed, and even if they were to, the resolutions are nonbinding meaning they carry no legal weight, and the court is not obligated to hear them.However, some justices have voiced opposition to Obergefell even after the ruling. When the conservative majority created by Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade, Clarence Thomas wrote in his concurring opinion at the time that the court should also revisit and overrule decisions that prevent state restrictions on contraception, marriage equality, sodomy, and other private consensual sex acts, calling the rulings "demonstrably erroneous.""Anybody in a committed relationship out there in the LGBTQ community, you ought to consider getting married," Clinton continued. "'Cause I don't think they'll undo existing marriages, but I fear that they will undo the national right."
