CHEEXY Chats | Straight Gaze

Hello everyone and welcome to the format CHEEXY Chats in our CHEEX
TALKS podcast from our ethical pleasure platform CHEEX. We are
Helen and Amenzee, chatting freely about diverse topics connected
to S*x & Relationships and in our new Episode we talk about the
straight gaze in the media and how it affects our everyday life.
Also: HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE! You may have already heard of the
male gaze and how it has been criticized over the last years, now
we take it a step further and look at it from another perspective
where we zoom into the queer and the straight ways of looking at
life in movies, TV shows, ads, p0rn or Tumblr. How does the
straight gaze affect marginalized groups in real life situations?
Where does the whole “gaze”-topic come from? Why is the “gay best
friend” trope in semi-woke films problematic and how do we start
telling real stories of diverse people in different media forms? If
you are curious and want to know more about the whole topic, check
out our 5th episode of CHEEXY Chats and become a part of our
