In this episode of Can't Host, we dive deep into the labyrinth of modern queer intimacy with Manuel Betancourt, author of Hello Stranger. From fleeting connections in steamy bathhouses to poetic sexts and longing glances, we explore how ephemeral encounters teach us about ourselves in ways long-term relationships cannot. Manuel shares his insights on the evolution of liminal queer spaces in the age of apps, the intoxicating possibilities of strangers, and the surprising discoveries of embracing our inner “stranger.” Whether you’re navigating throuples, redefining monogamy, or just curious about the magic of cuddle puddles, this conversation will leave you questioning what intimacy truly means in a digital world.
