SAVAGE LOVE: Hurt People
Briefly

In a heartfelt dilemma between a new loving boyfriend and a passionate but toxic ex from a throuple, a 33-year-old gay man finds himself torn. Fresh from healing, he grapples with the recent outreach from his ex, who promises a committed future together after a breakup. Amidst the emotional conflict, he recognizes the importance of both emotional safety and sexual compatibility, questioning whether to pursue a rekindled passion or maintain the stability he's established with his new partner, who provides love without the intense sexual dynamics he craves.
