Description

While we don't talk about this much, the percentage of gay men that have been sexually abused or assaulted is very high.  My guest, Darren Sage, shares losing his virginity at age 24, when his boyfriend plied him with alcohol and forced himself on Darren.  That trauma has had a lasting effect on Darren's ability to engage in sex or any type of relationship, romantic or plutonic.  Darren and I unpack how the coping mechanisms that once helped him survive, now keep him isolated and lonely.  He identifies his progress and admits that he is still in the midst of recovering from this trauma.Darren is a health enthusiast and teaches fitness classes at a local gym, in his spare time.Darren's ProfileBe a GuestFollow Us on FacebookPower Moments With MaddoxAll Maddox's Links

Coach Maddox, host of The Authentic Gay Man Podcast, reveals why so many gay men experience loneliness and isolation and the steps they can take, so they can create deep meaningful friendships that help them experience a profound sense of belonging and community. If you have ever felt like you were on the outside looking in, you’re not alone. It's a common theme among gay men. Maybe you are wondering what it means to be an Authentic Gay Man? Maddox engages his guests in honest and raw conversations, concerning topics that gay men rarely speak about. When we are able to get real with ourselves, it enables us to get real with others. That creates emotional intimacy…something we often fear and crave at the same time. Discover how to become more authentic and vulnerable, so you are magnetic to the people you engage with. Tune into each episode for a raw, candid, and uncensored exploration into the challenges of being an Authentic Gay Man. If you’re interested in gaining insights into your own challenges by hearing vulnerable stories of other gay men and if you aspire to be an Authentic Gay Man, this is the podcast for you.
