About Manny Cosme

I believe in love.  Being in love is the most amazing experience you can have in your life.  I want to help people find real love and, even more important, stay in love.  But as gay men, we have some real challenges when it comes to relationships.  Our community has traditionally (and out of necessity) shunned intimate relationship.  As a result, we have learned and even adapted to living our lives without these intimate connections.  But as society becomes more accepting of single-sex relationship, more and more gay men are realizing that they can have the intimacy they crave.  Relationships are challenging no doubt, and gay relationships can be even more challenging.  Unfortunately there has been a lack of gay-focused relationship help, as most relationship professionals focus on traditional heterosexual relationships.  While these professionals are great at helping straight couples, they don’t understand the nuances that exist in gay relationships – things like sexual position issues, sex apps, sub-scenes, and so on.  These nuances form very real issues in forming and sustaining gay relationships, and the professional must have a strong understanding of them to be of any true help.  My goal is to fill this much needed gap, and help gay men find, accept, and keep real love.
