Zach has a great sex life—it's sex positive and sexy and slutty and bisexual and kinky, there are glory holes, gay clubs, daisy chains and nipple play, he's hosted bukkakes and gang bangs and cum dumps, he has tons of casual sex (catch him when he's horny!), deeply intimate sex and novel and hardcore sex, prostate play makes him shoot “like a fucking geyser,” and people tell him things like, “I want you to fuck my gay husband.” If we can get his book Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto on The NY Times top 100 we might get him to do some porn-y stuff on onlyfans, but for now he's busy writing—for Men's Health and Cosmo and his extremely raunchy Boyslut Zine, and he joins Wyoh to talk about how he went from a 10 to a 1 on the shame-o-meter (for details, read Boyslut), what it's like to live in a sex-positive world where friend hangs turn into orgies, going from thinking he was going to die a virgin to celebrating his bisexuality and frolicking on Sniffies, how hot owning his desires and creating a space for partners to do the same has been, what it's like to travel to different sex resorts and write about it for work—which leads to stories like getting beckoned over by a cougar. Zach's risk tolerance includes a schedule of regular testing and a fair amount of barrier-free fucking, and he reflects on learning about sex via the media coverage of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, and shares stories of early anxiety, judgement and shame spirals that affected his boners until he learned to say, “hey, I might not get hard.” He talks about first exclusively topping, a bad first experience bottoming that led to anal fissures, how it took a woman to get him to enjoy anal, the five years he spent getting drunk and hooking up with guys until his therapist asked him a pointed question about his “bi confusion.” Zach talks about getting paid to perform live sex acts at clubs, hooking up with and paying sex workers, how he decides what to share with whom and when in terms of his sex-related work, his messy intro to poly and his observations around the generational and locational differences in various non-monogamous communities, and how he went from getting his PhD in clinical psychology and working in smoking cessation to writing from a bi perspective for a bi perspective. He wants everyone to know that they are normal and there's nothing to be ashamed of. He leaves Wyoh with a tease of what's next (bisexual RomCom YES PLEASE) and a giant sexy jacuzzi fantasy.

In my first Smart Sex, Smart Love podcast for Season 4, I opened it quite explosively with featured guest, Boyslut Zachary Zane, as he likes to be called.At the young age of 32, Zachary is quite accomplished. He is a Brooklyn-based columnist, sex expert, author and activist whose work focuses on sexuality, culture and the LGBTQIA community. Recently, he wrote a book, Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto, and we talked about it – very openly, candidly and explicitly.Bisexuality has had very little visibility over the years, Zachary notes. “I felt so alone and so isolated; I didn't think bisexuality was real.” When Zachary started learning he was not alone and there was a huge, unnoticed community of bisexuals, “it was a voice not represented, and that is why I wrote the book, Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto,” which describes his journey and how he was able to overcome his sexual shame. “If talking about sex is uncomfortable, good! It's time to start unpacking these feelings and talk about the subject … graphically and explicitly,” he announces.“Get loud and obnoxious about your bisexuality! We are real, we exist, and we are not alone! Shout it out! Sex can be so much more fun if we can reduce sexual shame!”To learn more about Zachary Zane and his bisexual journey, listen to this Smart Sex, Smart Love podcast, hosted by Dr. Joe Kort.

This week, sex and relationship columnist Zachary Zane discusses his new essay collection Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto, named a Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Book of the Year by Buzzfeed. This conversation originally took place June 6, 2023 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum. Content Warning: this conversation contains explicit language related to sexual themes. Listener discretion is advised. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME About Boyslut: A sex and relationship columnist bares it all in a series of essays—part memoir, part manifesto—that explore the author's coming-of-age and coming out as a bisexual man and move toward embracing and celebrating sex unencumbered by shame. As a boy, Zachary Zane sensed that all was not right when images of his therapist naked popped into his head. Without an explanation as to why, a deep sense of shame pervaded these thoughts. Though his therapist assured him a little imagination was nothing to be ashamed of, over the years, society told him otherwise. Boyslut is a series of personal and tantalizing essays that articulate how our society still shames people for the sex that they have and the sexualities that they inhabit. Through the lens of his bisexuality and much self-described sluttiness, Zane breaks down exactly how this sexual shame negatively impacts the sex and relationships in our lives, and through personal experience, shares how we can unlearn the harmful, entrenched messages that society imparts to us. From stories of drug-fueled threesomes and risqué Grindr hookups to insights on dealing with rejection and living with his boyfriend and his wife, Boyslut is reassuring and often painfully funny—but is most potently a testimony that we can all learn to live healthier lives unburdened by stigma.
It's time for some sex positivity! This week we've invited sex and relationship columnist Zachary Zane to read to you from his painfully funny memoir, Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto. The New York based author bares all in this memoir-manifesto, exploring how, even today, we live in a world that shames people for the sex they have and the sexualities they inhabit. Through the lens of his bisexuality and self-described sluttiness, Zachary breaks down how this sexual shame impacts our lives, and how we can unlearn the harmful, entrenched messages society imparts to us. We recently featured a very popular interview with Zachary on our Instagram Live, in which he opened up about his sexual experiences, exploring polyamory, orgies, anonymous encounters and his thoughts on how to lead a fulfilling sex life in a long-term relationship, not to mention bi-visibility and dismantling toxic masculinity. Do head on over to that after you've enjoyed this special podcast episode with a brilliant reading from Boyslut! ‘Reading about Zane's own sexual adventures is like getting invited to Sunday brunch by your wittiest, sluttiest, funniest friend and getting to listen to him recount his crazy weekend.' - Dan Savage Boyslut, perfect for readers of Unprotected by Billy Porter or Here for It by R.

In this episode, bisexual sex expert Zachary Zane shares how to release sexual shame and fully embrace our sexuality. Specifically, in the episode we talk about the reasons people slut shame, how sexual shame negatively impacts our sex and relationships, the reason many people can't get their heads around bisexuality, ways of dealing with rejection coming from friends and family, and tips and resources on finding a sex-positive therapist. About Me I'm George Lizos, spiritual teacher, psychic healer, and #1 bestselling author. Growing up in a small Christian community, I was judged and rejected for being gay and different. After a futile two-year attempt to change who I was born to be, I called myself a human abomination and almost took my own life. Fortunately, in my darkest moment, I saw the light and ventured on a healing journey of love, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening. Yet, my gay dating life since hasn't always been all roses and rainbows, and my past dramas and traumas have definitely kept things spicy. Fast forward past many awkward dates and disappointing sex, I Created Can't Host to challenge toxic gay stereotypes, explore the complex dynamics of gay sex and relationships, and create opportunities for healing and growth. https://georgelizos.com/ About Zachary Zane Zachary Zane is a Brooklyn-based columnist, sex expert, and activist whose work focuses on sexuality, culture, and the LGBTQ community.

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men are increasingly finding sexual partners through apps such as Grindr. These apps haven't just changed the way people find partners, though, they've also changed queer men and gay culture in major ways, some of which have been positive, while others have been negative. So let's talk about the good, bad, and ugly of gay hookup apps. I am joined once again by Zachary Zane, a Brooklyn-based sex writer. He is the sex and relationship columnist for Men's Health, where he writes Sexplain It. He is the co-author of the book Men's Health: Best. Sex. Ever. Zach's latest book is titled Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto. Some of the topics we discuss include: How are apps like Grindr different from apps that cater more to a heterosexual audience, like Tinder? What are some of the ways in which these apps have had positive effects on queer men and the gay community? Did Grindr really kill the gay bar? Do hookup apps make it easier to get the kind of sex you want? How can we reduce toxic behavior on hookup apps? How can individuals use these apps in healthy ways that don't take a toll on their mental health? Content advisory: This episode contains very frank discussion of sexual matters.

While the term “safe sex” might imply that there's a perfectly safe way to have sex, there's always going to be some degree of risk, both physical and emotional. Whenever you have sex, you're making a choice about the level of risk you're willing to take on in order to experience the pleasures of sex. Everyone has a different risk tolerance, though, which is why we all make different choices. However, we have a tendency to shame everyone who has a different risk tolerance, whether it's higher or lower than our own. This sex shaming hurts everyone because it makes us less likely to talk openly about sex. So today we're going to talk about shedding sexual shame and feeling free and empowered to make your own sexual decisions. I am joined by Zachary Zane, a Brooklyn-based sex writer. He is the sex and relationship columnist for Men's Health, where he writes Sexplain It. He is the co-author of the book Men's Health: Best. Sex. Ever. Zach's latest book is titled Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto. Some of the topics we discuss include: Why have men largely been left out of the sex-positivity conversation? And why is it important for everyone to be involved? How might the phrase "safe sex" be misleading when thinking about sexual risk? Should we be talking about "risk-aware sex" instead? Why do some people view STIs as an acceptable risk, while others view them as unacceptable? Why is it important to reduce stigma around STIs? Why is sex shaming so prevalent, even within the queer community? Content advisory: This episode contains very frank discussion of sexual matters.

Welcome to episode 333 of Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to welcome back Zachary Zane. In this episode, we discuss his new book Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto, the importance of including men in the sex positivity movement and increasing bisexual male visibility in media and society. Zachary Zane is a Brooklyn-based columnist, speaker, activist, and sex expert whose work focuses on sexuality, lifestyle, and culture. He has a weekly sex advice column at Men's Health titled “Sexplain It,” where he answers a diverse range of questions pertaining to masculinity, ethical non-monogamy, sexual insecurities, and the LGBTQ community. He answers questions with actionable advice that isn't just “communicate with your partner,” because let's be real, we all know that already. He also has a monthly column at Queer Majority called “Zach and the City,” which explores romance and sexuality through Zane's fabulous life. Set against the backdrop of New York City, Zane uses his personal experiences as a young and adventurous queer socialite to unpack the current state of cosmopolitan sex, love, and dating. He currently writes for The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and Prevention. He was formerly a digital associate editor at OUT Magazine and a contributing editor at Pride.com, Plus Magazine, and The Advocate Magazine. He's been featured in numerous other publications as well, including Playboy, NBC, SELF, Allure, Dazed, AskMen, Slate, Into, Them, Cosmopolitan, Hornet, NewNowNext, LGBTQ Nation, MerryJane, and Bustle. In this episode, you will hear: Why Zachary wrote his memoir focusing on bisexual men overcoming sexual shame. How even growing up in a sex-positive and queer-affirming household, he still experienced sexual shame. The importance of including men in the sex positivity movement, as they are often left out due to societal expectations and stereotypes. The challenges bisexual men face when dating, such as disbelief, condescension, or assumptions that they will later come out as gay. The importance of bisexual representation in media to help normalize the identity and combat stereotypes. Advice for individuals exploring their sexuality, suggesting not focusing on a label initially and focusing on understanding their feelings and attractions instead.
