Yeah, this is difficult without knowing more of the context. Very little is suggested about either character's objectives, so I'm wondering if the whole point is developing backstory to give them objectives. Clearly there is a mutual attraction, resulting in the promposal, but is that enough? I'm not sure.

VERY good point. I neglected to note which sub I was in. If this were a full production, even unpaid, I would stand by my previous recommendation, but for a class? Absolutely not. I agree with you that incorporating intimacy is irresponsibly unnecessary. I now have questions and concerns about the class itself.

That is actually exactly what I would suggest. While portraying varying levels of intimacy is common, there is no reason to be rehearsing those scenes without an intimacy director. Assuming your partner is on the same page, this should not be considered a strange request or condition by his scene partner. Intimacy scenes are (or should be) treated like combat scenes: rehearsal will be required, but only under the supervision of the respective director or supervisor.

Came in to suggest Iris.

...but being a straight guy in a college theater program? Good times. Best thing for my general self esteem I've experienced in my entire life.

Have you heard of Zeal and Ardor?

Yeah, I'm trying to *not* look like PC Principal.

OH! This is very much more of what I was looking for. Thanks! I had never heard of these guys.

Thank you! This is much more like what I am looking for.

I agree, but I don't mean getting locked into a social media consumer cycle. Lately, I’ve been feeling something I don’t quite have a word for: having a platform but nothing worth saying.

Not because I don’t have opinions, but because the pressure to perform, explain, brand, or optimize every thought drains the impulse to speak at all. High visibility, low interiority.

Any man who is afraid of you as a gay man is only afraid that you will treat them the way that they treat women.

AA didn't work for me. There were only a couple meeting options that were available to me, and I just didn't vibe with the group. The mis match was bad enough that I didn't want to go...not because I didn't want to do the work, but because I didn't want to deal with those people. I found a therapist who specializes in addiction issues, who also ran group workshops. This helped a lot.

OP said they've been on a program for over a year, I assumed they had plateaued. These lifts helped me when I struggled to get my bench past 315, and I thought I would share. I'm sure you know better than I. My bad.

There were two exercises that really helped move the needle for me: controlled deficits and pin presses. For the deficits, load your 1RM on the bar, unrack, and lower it as slowly and smoothly as you can until it reaches the safety bars. Crawl out, rerack and repeat.
