Listener sentiment
We're Having Gay Sex commands a passionate, largely devoted fan base that praises Ashley Gavin's sharp comedy, the podcast's balance of humor with authentic conversations about queer identity and sexuality, and its role as a supportive community for listeners exploring their gender and sexual orientation. The overwhelming majority of recent ratings are five stars, with listeners describing the show as reliably funny, thoughtful, and a cherished part of their weekly routine. However, a significant minority raises serious concerns about the host's interview conduct—specifically that Ashley frequently talks over guests, redirects conversations toward herself rather than letting interview subjects speak, and dominates episodes to the detriment of the content. A more troubling pattern across multiple reviews centers on a 2023 incident in which Ashley told a fan to kill herself at a live show; while she has apologized, reviewers consistently note that her explanation felt insufficient and many describe losing trust in the podcast as a result. A smaller cohort simply finds her aggressive, loud on-air style exhausting. The divide between devoted fans and critics appears largely to hinge on whether listeners prioritize the comedy and community feel (which bridge much of the show's shortcomings for supporters) or the host's behavior and interviewing skills.
