Episode 9: Lean In

What do you risk with a kiss? How can you be good at pulling? Raven Smith reflects on his early reluctance to swim in the dating pool.

Written and read by Raven Smith

Vogue columnist and professional man-about-town Raven Smith knows men, he loves men and he is a man. But he knows men can be, problematic. In this hilarious series, he considers masculinity and the men in his life. The good, the bad and the ones he would rather forget.

Leaning in for a kiss brings its own risks. As does attempting to date. Raven Smith reflects on his early pulling prowess, or lack of it, and the pressure of internalised homophobia as a man dating men.
