A Spot Of Bother – A Critique of a Sex Research Critique

According to Dr Petra Boynton, academic and ‘sexologist’, a recent study about the elusive g-spot (in women) is rubbish. This rubbish research has been reported in the media as truth. So she has critiqued the media reporting, based on her own knowledge of sex research and how it gets communicated to the public. So far so [...]

Letter From An Alien: It’s Over, Roland

http://www.towleroad.com/2012/02/a-marine-comes-home.html This photo has gone viral recently. It was first posted on a ‘Gay Marines’ FB page and has since been sent round the internet, with the tagline ‘Gay Marine Comes Home’. You know me. I am an out and proud ‘homophile’. I am bordering on being a homo myself.  My blog archives are full [...]

Space

The Marvellous Slope Show is back! Season Two of the story of superficial, homophobic lesbians Desiree and Ingrid kicks off with a poignant (but hilarious) episode called ‘Taking Space’ http://theslopeshow.com/2012/02/14/season-2-episode-1-taking-space/ This reminds me of the song: Space, by Pulp. The lyrics of the album version begin: You said you wanted some space … Well is [...]

Oh, Cynthia!

http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2012/01/30/Cynthia_Nixon_Being_Bisexual_Is_Not_a_Choice/ Cynthia Nixon, who I last week defended for stating her sexuality is her ‘choice’, has gone back on her word. After a huge amount of hostility and pressure from gay activists and gay media outlets I might add. Her revised statement reads as follows:   “My recent comments in The New York Times were about me and my [...]

Unnatural Selection?

A recent New York Times interview with Sex In The City star Cynthia Nixon, has caused a bit of a furore amongst mainly American gays. I first read about the story in Queerty, which is itself a VERY gay website. But I appreciated them running  it, and quoting Nixon at length and opening up the discussion to the [...]

Blood Brothers?

Talking of bisexual men, and their erasure in our culture, which we were, here we go again. http://lawandsexuality.blogspot.com/2011/09/gay-blood-ban-to-be-further-repealed.html Law and Sexuality is a brilliant blog by Chris, who writes on a wide range of subjects around sexuality, society and the law. I have an enormous amount of respect for him. But sometimes I pull him [...]

Bisexuality in The Shadows

Last night Tom Robinson, the man who sang ‘Sing if you’re glad to be gay’, way back when, discussed bisexuality on Radio Four UK. He is now married with children, but I am glad he has not presented his story as one where a man went through a ‘gay phase’ before settling down with a [...]

Bi-Furious Faggots! (My favourite people in the world)

http://nattysoltesz.com/ Natty Soltesz writes erotic stories about men. He writes particularly evocatively about what happens when ‘straight’ men allow themselves to express homo-desire. His latest book is called ‘Str8 but curious’ and this is how it begins: ‘I’ve had my share of straight guys. Maybe I’ve had my fill. I bagged the majority during my [...]

In Defence Of… Hazing – Mark Simpson Takes One For The Team

http://www.marksimpson.com/blog/2011/04/28/assume-the-position-a-queer-defence-of-hazing-2/#comments When I joined my local rugby team, I was made to do terrible, awful things. Even now, all these years later, I feel distressed and choked up recounting what happened. I had to stand on a chair as a full pint of beer was shoved in my groin, soaking it. I then had to [...]

The Savage Truth

My obsession with the horror that is Dan Savage has taken me to reading some very boring and very stupid articles, and the comments that go with them, ‘under the line’. To sum up Dan’s philosophy on sexuality: ‘Gay is good. Gay is natural. Straight is tolerable. Christians are evil. Homophobia comes from Christian Straight [...]
