Luke’s gage opens up about sex, prep, STDs and his memoir

Lukas Gage is a hiking contradiction. At least according to itself. When “White Lotus” actor Opened for pop suckers about what he needs from a partner, he was not sure how to explain it: “I need love, and then I have to be alone. I need a lot of attention and then I need you to play hard to get. I need really intense one-to-one time and then I have to spread my wings.” And if it sounds confusing, that’s the kind of point.

Like the non-cell norms in the world, Gage has toxic features, experience with STI and contradictory views on connection culture. He has also had one awkward threesome and likes one Very specific kink It may surprise you. But unlike his role as a sex bot in his latest movie “Companion”, this is what makes Gage surprisingly human.

As spokesman for Healthyxual.coma campaign that increases awareness of Prep (Prophylaxis before exposure), a prescribed medication to protect individuals from HIV transmission, gage uses their platform to normalize conversations about gender and prevention.

After talking to the natives of the West Coast, it is clear that he knows a thing or two about how to impress someone in the bedroom, who may or may not include a naked rear handspring.

Popsugar: What does a healthy sex life look like for you?

Lukas Gage: A healthy sex life for me means being proactive if my health, educated, informed about all tests and to be very open and on top of it with my preventive alternatives, such as prep. I take preparation, and I think the scientific progress they have had with this medication is fantastic. We should all have open conversations about it and not be afraid to discuss this amazing medicine.

PS: You mentioned that testing is important for a healthy sex life for you. Have you ever had a STI?

LG: I was in a relationship with someone, and I thought it was monogamous, but it turned out, it was not (monogamous) at the other end. I was surprised by some STDs, and fortunately that experience was a huge catalyst to be at the peak of preventative alternatives.

PS: What does your prevention look like now?

LG: Just being very routine with my testing, not being lazy and making it a huge part of my self -care. Just like exercising or eating healthy or meditating, I have made it part of my routine. I wake up, have my vitamins, coffee and my prep.

PS: What do you think people should know about being tested?

LG: I think they should know that there is nothing shameful about protecting your health and being educated and informed. I think knowledge is power, and it is easy to get a test – there are so many options as you can do, there is so much information that is out there.

PS: You recently played a sex bot in “companion.” Would you ever own your own sex bot?

LG: Look, I have some contradictory thoughts about it. In the end, the answer is no, but I would be very tempted. I would have to take it out one night just to try. But I wouldn’t meet one, no.

PS: What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you during sex?

LG: It was a threesome that went wrong. I was not wanted, and it was embarrassing. I thought because I was the person who invited it that I would be the special, but it turned out, I was not their cup of tea. I am an acquired taste.

PS: If you really want to impress someone in the bedroom, what is your go-to sex trait?

LG: A round back handspring. I took gymnastics as a child, so I can still make a rear handspring. A naked rear handspring? Can’t beat it.

PS: What is your poisonous move?

LG: I’m really needy. I need a lot of attention. I need a lot of validation and many confirmation words – so much that it is even annoying to me. Or I cry a lot. I think it annoys people. I’m a big crier. I would be annoyed to meet me sometimes.

PS: What is your biggest sexual turn-on?

LG: Ignored. I like to be ignored by someone for some reason, it’s a little humiliation ham that I have. I like to be ignored, but it’s part of the game, and then I want to be loved and fulfilled afterwards. But yes, I think there are some of me who like to just be treated like a ghost.

PS: Your upcoming memoir “I wrote this for attention” Coming out on October 14th. What was it like to write it?

LG: It was a crazy experience: it was catartic, it was scary, it was really hard. It required many rewrites and many notes. It was a crazy experience, but rewarding. . . hopefully.
