Archuleta added, “I feel like with guys, it’s easier because, to be honest, I think guys are just culturally and also just hormonally more forward.”
But he decided to remain private about where he is at currently when it comes to dating, telling the publication, “I don’t usually disclose where I’m at in my relationships. I’m very much in my lover boy flirty era, and it’s a very fun time for me.”
The “Crush” singer also spoke more about his decision to leave the Church of Latter-day Saints after he came out. “I used to be really uncomfortable with who I was. I didn’t know what to think of myself. And so when people knew who I was, I’m like, ‘What does that mean? What do they think of me?'” He explains that his thinking has changed, saying, “Now I’m comfortable in my own skin.”
That sentiment is clear in the music he is currently putting out as he explores his sexuality for the first time in his life. In an interview with Out earlier this year, Archuleta talked about going through “gay puberty” after coming out. “It’s been a sexual awakening. It almost feels like I’m going through puberty now rather than as a teenager, adding, “I was so afraid [that] if I let too much of [my] sexual feelings come out, then I would turn gay, or I would unleash the monster in me, or I would lose self-control.”
