The Gay Monogamy Coach.
The Gay Monogamy Coach podcast is hosted by the life coach, CBT practitioner, workshop facilitator and author Alan Cox.
He supports gay men in understanding the emotional, psychological, and practical aspects of transitioning from casual dating to a committed, monogamous relationship, while fostering clarity, confidence, and alignment with authentic relationship goals.
Each episode will investigate an area that surrounds monogamy and is reinforced by practical life coaching techniques.

Monogamy After the Apps — Part One: The conditioned response.
The Gay Monogamy Coach · Alan Cox.
This is the first of three episodes drawn from a body of work called Monogamy After the Apps. Part one begins where most men don't think to look: the conditioned response. What the apps have done to your nervous system — not your morals, not your character, but the part of you that reaches for the phone before you've had a conscious thought about it.
We examine the variable ratio reinforcement schedule that sits beneath the swipe, the dopamine of pursuit versus the absence of fulfilment, and the three signs that the conditioning has migrated into your real-life interactions: the impatience, the drop, and the confusion of attention with interest. The episode closes with a single diagnostic question — when was the last time you sat with a man without looking at your phone?
If you're a gay man who has been running this loop long enough to mistake it for your personality, this episode names the mechanism so you can begin to interrupt it.
