It’s Silly To Refuse Preferred Pronouns

“But they don’t look like that,” they say. And isn’t that sentence ironic. They… Unfortunately, there are people out there who refuse to accept preferred pronouns. They conjure up biological arguments so they can conserve their right to ignore change. Because they feel it is right to adhere to genitals when referring to boys and girls. But aren’t we more than just genitals? Of course, … Continue reading It’s Silly To Refuse Preferred Pronouns

3 Things That DON’T Make You Gay

While we live in a progressive world where sexuality is just another thing, some people still think you can catch gay. That acting feminine or liking certain sexual positions are telltale signs you bat for the same team. But, as we will soon learn, being gay is just a personal identity. Only you can make that mark. That being said, here are three things that … Continue reading 3 Things That DON’T Make You Gay

Calm Down, Trans and Non-Binary Aren’t Making Your Genitals Invisible

With all the talk about gendered pronouns nowadays, you’d be forgiven for thinking that vaginas and penises are going out of fashion. But, when a global pandemic fails to dampen our sexual appetites, I really don’t think that is the case. As we all know, having a penis or vagina really helps with climaxing. And yet, we still get the likes of J. K. Rowling … Continue reading Calm Down, Trans and Non-Binary Aren’t Making Your Genitals Invisible

Sometimes It Is Easier Being Gay

Apart from the rigmarole of coming out to every person you meet and answering ignorant questions, sometimes it is easier being gay. For one, we don’t have to deal with the patriarchy that still permeates modern society. Men know what men want, and women know what women want. There’s no separation of the sexes. Which, on some level, makes finding sex so much easier. I … Continue reading Sometimes It Is Easier Being Gay

How To Have Sex Safely During Covid

While abstinence is by far the best way to avoid viral infections, let’s face it: a pandemic doesn’t dampen the libido. If it did, we’d have refrained from sex during the HIV epidemic. And while a mutual jerk-off sounds like great advice, we all know that another person’s hand (or mouth) is better. So, rather than waste time telling you to suppress your carnal appetites, … Continue reading How To Have Sex Safely During Covid

PrEP Is Killing My Sex Life

So there I was, chatting to this gorgeous hunk of a man on Grindr. We had swapped pics and personal preferences and I was keen for action. In fact, I could wrestle in bed with him till dawn and it was only 9pm! And then he asks… “Do you take PrEP?” “No, I prefer condoms,” I reply. “Oh, I’m on PrEP. Is that okay?” “Yeah, … Continue reading PrEP Is Killing My Sex Life

Can We Normalise Sexual Fluidity?

Before I get started: NO, I am not asking everyone to be gay. Not all of you would want to try, and that’s totally fine! But, I am asking for society to view sexuality in a fluid state, where it’s completely normal to swing along the spectrum. Where straight people could go gay without being categorized, and gay people could go straight without social turmoil. … Continue reading Can We Normalise Sexual Fluidity?

A Quick Gay Man’s Guide To Safe Sex

I usually get a sexual health check-up every six months. (And no, that’s not because I’m a slut. In fact, my sex count is quite tame compared to the average gay man.) The main reason I have regular check-ups is because of my sexuality. I sleep with a community that has a history of high STI prevalence. Of course, that’s all changing now thanks to lowered … Continue reading A Quick Gay Man’s Guide To Safe Sex

Why Trans Women Are Women (And Trans Men Too)

Looking at the figures on a bathroom door may not seem so important to you. It’s either male or female. But it’s interesting we use the generalised depictions of a male and a female instead of a penis and a vagina. And that’s because you don’t need a penis or a vagina to use either bathroom. You just need to look the part so you … Continue reading Why Trans Women Are Women (And Trans Men Too)

Threesomes Are Not THAT Amazing

Take it from someone who’s been in a few threesomes: they’re not all their cracked up to be. And yet, we all pretend threesomes are the pinnacle of sexual exploration. Personally, having any kind of satisfying sex is the pinnacle of sexploration! Indeed, I won’t go so far as to say they’re awful and should be avoided. If they’re executed well, they could be immensely pleasurable. … Continue reading Threesomes Are Not THAT Amazing

The Truth About Sex They Never Taught You In School

Remember sex education? When they’d wheel in the overhead projector and show you slides of penises and vaginas — no giggling, please! Well, there’s one slide they didn’t show you… Sometimes nature gets a little creative. As you well know, sex isn’t just physical genitalia. It also involves chromosomes to teach the body how to create itself and hormones to regulate the system. But they’re not always … Continue reading The Truth About Sex They Never Taught You In School
