About this listen

Unbuttoned is a podcast about dating, masculinity, and emotional clarity.


Hosted by Dorian Levy, the show explores modern relationships without chaos, shame, or therapy speak. These are conversations for men who want connection without confusion, boundaries without hardness, and intimacy that feels steady instead of performative.


Unbuttoned is not about fixing yourself.

It’s about seeing clearly, choosing intentionally, and learning how calm can be powerful.


New conversations, said plainly.

  • Episode 7: Reassurance Is Not Intimacy
    Jan 7 2026

    A lot of people don’t actually want intimacy.
    They want reassurance.

    In this episode of Unbuttoned, Dorian breaks down the difference between emotional comfort and real closeness, why reassurance gets mistaken for connection, and how people stay emotionally nearby without ever stepping forward.

    This conversation is about presence, responsibility, and learning to stop negotiating with inconsistency.

    Calm clarity isn’t cold.
    It’s information.

  • Episode 6: Hurt Men vs. Healed Men: The Real Divide in Our Community.

    Today on UNBUTTONED, we’re getting brutally honest.

    Not about sexuality — but about behavior.

    Why do so many gay men come off as cold, judgmental, competitive, or straight-up mean?

    Not because they’re gay…but because they’re unhealed.

    In this episode, I break down the difference between hurt men and healed men — the ego, the armor, the insecurities, the body hierarchy, the dating games, and the emotional survival strategies that shape our entire community.

    If you’ve ever felt judged, dismissed, ghosted, compared, or misunderstood…

    or if you’ve ever wondered why gay spaces can feel both empowering and exhausting at the same time…

    You’re not imagining it.

    There is a pattern — and today, we unbutton it.

    This episode is for the men who have healed, the men who are healing, and the men who are finally ready to stop performing and start belonging.

    Let’s talk about the truth everyone feels… but nobody wants to say out loud.

    The Gay Body Standard: Confidence or Conditioning?

    We call it confidence — but most of the time, it’s conditioning.

    From gym culture to social media validation, here’s the truth about how the gay community shaped our self-worth.

    Because being fit is great — but being free? That’s power.
