Lukas Gage Releases Memoir Candidly Addressing Sexual Health and Addiction

Lukas Gage, star of The White Lotus, is releasing a memoir titled I Wrote This for Attention that candidly addresses his personal experiences with mental health, sexuality, and sexual health. He openly discusses contracting two sexually transmitted infections from a past monogamous partner and the impact this had on his approach to sexual health, including his consistent use of testing and PrEP. Gage aims to destigmatize conversations around sex and mental health, encouraging openness to combat shame and fear, and hopes his vulnerability will inspire others to have honest dialogues. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing sexual health as a form of self-care equivalent to physical health routines. Through his memoir and partnership with campaigns like Gilead’s HealthySexuals, Gage seeks to normalize these discussions and promote awareness about prevention and honesty in relationships. His work also touches on broader themes such as addiction, borderline personality disorder, and family struggles, presenting a multifaceted view of healing and self-acceptance.
