Gary - Compulsive Sex, Safety & the Search for Real Intimacy

In this episode, Vance chats with Gary Albert — therapist, embodiment facilitator, and former classical musician — to explore the winding path that led him into supporting gay men in their relationships with pleasure, intimacy, and sexuality. We get into all of it: vulnerability, compulsive sexual patterns, limerence, emotional attachment, and why feeling our harder emotions is actually what creates real connection. Gary talks about the power of community, what it means for gay men to have truly safe spaces, and how relationships can become portals for self-discovery and healing. It’s a conversation for anyone craving more authenticity, more embodied intimacy, and more freedom in how they show up in love and sex.
