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.
