Andy Cohen seems to be getting more personal than ever and we don't mind!
In his talk with Attitude Magazine for their October issue, Cohen was asked about his attitudes towards sex. In his response, he shared that he doesn't hide anything when it comes to talking about sex.
“I talk about poppers and about bottoms on my show,” he said during the interview. “That’s the thing, I’m really open about who I am and am unapologetic, so I think there’s something freeing in that.”
Andy Cohen has been out since the 1980s and says he’s gotten used to talking about his sexuality. But according to him, and shared in Queerty, that wasn’t always the case.
“I came out in 1988, at the height of the [AIDS] epidemic,” he says. “I was so scared to have sex. And it’s why I’m alive today, because I was really scared.”
“It was a scary time to be gay, it was a scary time to be sexual… It’s always kind of there in one way or another. It’s not something you can erase from your experience.”
Now, he says what really scares him is getting out there to date.
“I think it’s harder for other people to sit down with me and have a date because they have preconceived notions,” Andy says.
“If I had never dated myself or I didn’t know me and it was just based on TV, I don’t know what I would think. I have no idea.”
But what about dating apps like Grindr and it’s new Kindr campaign? Well, Cohen says he still uses them… on occasion.
“I have been, kind of on-and-off because it’s challenging,” he explains. “It’s weird. It was probably more uncomplicated hooking up before I became famous.”
“I still hook up,” he adds. “I mean, a guy’s gotta eat!”
Thanks Andy for being open and honest about being just like us when it comes to trying to find fun as well as "the one."
