He landed his dream job in San Diego where he is married to an amazing guy and has 2 kids. While he serves the entire community’s medical needs, he is particularly proud to serve the local LGBTQ community in San Diego as a resource for healthcare without judgment or share. He stumbled onto Tik Tok during the pandemic and realized the need and the hunger for anal sex education ...and not just from the LGBTQ family but also women and straight men interested in butt play. So many people are embarrassed to talk about anal sex or ask questions about it, but let’s face it...most people want to know how to do it right, do it well, and do it safely! Who better to ask than a gay GI doctor who not only knows the medical side of things, but is no stranger to anal sex himself?!

Lucas is a 23 year old gay man and is a Southern California native who moved away to study Theatrical Arts in Boston. Lucas has since moved back and is pursuing a career in theatre production. In this episode Lucas really dives into his childhood and some of the early memories he has that made him question his sexual orientation. He also talks about his religious mother and the role she played in his coming out process.
A few things Lucas said that we want to highlight:
On Acceptance: “I do remember praying to god to take it away from me, I was like why am I like this I don’t want to be like this”
On Mom: “at first she was like ‘i just don’t want you to be one of those gay guys that dresses like a girl’ Now she housed one of my trans friends for the holidays because her parents kicked her out”
Advice: “I think everyone finds a chosen family. No matter where you are theses a place where you can find someone or something” We hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to leave a review to help us out!
