It's raw, it's messy, and honestly... freeing. Thank you for unmasking with me this season! I appreciate the love and support :)Stay connected with Masc Off!Instagram: @themascoffpod

Thrust Issues

Masc Off Podcast ·

2025/06/25

In this episode of Masc Off, I confess to doing the most during my first time using a strap. I pretended I was a seasoned strap pro when in reality, I was a nervous masc with sweaty palms and zero aim. What followed was a Tom & Jerry level disaster involving awkward thrusts, self inflicted injury, and a cameo from casper the ghost.A tale of overcompensating, unlearning shame, and realizing that even straps deserve a soft launch.For queer-friendly strap-on resources and beginner kits, check out

2025/06/04

In this episode, I open up about something many of us are feeling but rarely talk about - loneliness. Not just the kind that comes from being alone, but the kind that lingers even when you're surrounded by people. We're living in what researchers are calling a loneliness epidemic. It's affecting all of us, across all ages.I share my own struggles with feeling emotionally disconnected and how hard it is to admit that out loud. But the truth is, the more honest we can be about our

In this episode of Masc Off, I'm joined by Chel. Chel is the creative mind behind a series of Puff & Paints popping up all over the Valley. We spark up a conversation around how Chel defines masculinity, how her cannabis-inspired events are building community one high at a time, and why there might be a masc shortage in the queer scene.
