The Joys of Gay Sex: London Sex Educator Bradley Birkholz; There Isn't Just One Gay Gene: Many Genes Influence Same-Sex Sexuality; Ryan Field Books

The Joys of Gay Sex: London Sex Educator Bradley Birkholz

Here's a link to an interview with a young guy named Bradley Birkholz who discusses gay sex. He's only 22, but he's also a sex educator.


A lot of my own understanding of sex and sexual education, and of more obscure elements of sexuality have been from other people in my life, other sex educators and non-romantic partners. Some things have come from viewers as well. One of my latest videos covers a form of non-penetrative sex called “int...

Dior Accused of Racism and Cultural Appropriation; When Marlon Brando Discussed Michael Jackson’s Sexuality; Ryan Field Gay Romance Novels

Dior Accused of Racism and Cultural Appropriation

You have to wonder what companies are thinking when they do this. And what are celebrities thinking? 

Fashion brand Dior released a video advertisement Friday morning for its cologne, Sauvage, featuring a Native American dancer in ceremonial garb, including a feathered headdress. The combination of the imagery and the name of the cologne, prompted many on social media to interpret the ad as racist and emblematic of cultural appropriation.

He...

A Pussy With A Penis On Her Face; A Man Bit His Friend's Penis Off; Ryan Field Books

A Pussy With A Penis On Her Face

I know this is obtuse, and I know it's clickbait. But it's still funny, too.

A fluffy, friendly rescue cat named Daisy is looking for her forever home, but some rather distinctive markings on her face are putting off people from adopting her. In a turn up for the books, this pussy's face looks like a penis.

You can check this out, here, where there's a photo. It's actually kind of accurate.

Director Joel Schumacher Claims He Slept With 10,000-20,000 Men; Harry Styles, Rainbow Washing, and the Rainbow Flag; Ryan Field Books

Director Joel Schumacher Claims He Slept With 10,000-20,000 Men

Joel Schumacher directed movies like The Lost Boys and Batman and Robin. He recently did an interview with Vulture about his life and his career and he mentioned something fascinating. He says he's slept with 10,000 to 20,000 men over the course of his lifetime.

He also gets into a few real facts about gay men and gay culture that we don't often hear about. When I first started getting published in the m/m romance genre, the women...

Downtown LA's Most Amazing Pride Festival; Harry Styles Speaks About His Sexuality in Rolling Stone; Ryan Field Books

Downtown LA's Most Amazing Pride Festival

This link is filled with photos of an event that bills itself as being different from other Pride events.

Now in its fourth year, downtown’s premiere festival serves as an analog to LA’s more mainstream WeHo-based LA Pride, catering to an edgier, more diverse crowd of queer Angelenos.

You can check out all the photos, here. They're very good.

What Exactly Is "De-Platforming"? John Travolta Mistakes Drag Queen For Taylor Swift; Ryan Field Books

What Exactly Is "De-Platforming?"

I think this falls under the category of pop culture to a certain extent because it involves social media and sometimes celebrities. It's one of those terms you usually hear in Internet circles, but not so much in the mainstream with regard to TV or print news. The media likes to keep these things a secret from those who still don't have much Internet access. And there are still a lot of people who only get their news from cable TV. It's sad, but true.

There ar...

Gay Men Targeted In Adult Video Scam; Mobile Penis Flashers Send Dick Pics In Japan; Ryan Field Books

Gay Men Targeted In Adult Video Scam

This has been happening on Grindr and apparently a lot of gay men are falling for it. This is an age old scam. The fake modeling agencies used to do this all the time. You should always remember that if you have to pay up front for something like this it's most likely a scam.

"...men on Grindr and Instagram are being targeted by a scam in which men claiming to be agents the decades-old gay adult studio Falcon offer guys $2,500 to $3,000 to appear in a skin f...

Gay Guy's Date Has a Creepy Request; Gay Teen Beaten In a Locker Room Is Recorded; Ryan Field Books

Gay Guy's Date Has a Creepy Request

This is extremely odd. I wouldn't think of doing this to anyone.

There are plenty of things one could ask for after the first date, and many of those requests might be granted. Asking your date to turn on read receipts, however, is beyond the pale.

Here's the link. The end is very amusing. So are the comments left by readers. 


Gay Teen Beaten In a Locker Room Is Recorded

Here's another one of those highly disturbing stories about what life is like for some...

Antonio Banderas Uses 'Drag Queen' Story To Promote New Movie Where He Plays Gayface; 'The Inheritance' All-Gay Broadway Play; Ryan Field Books

Antonio Banderas Uses 'Drag Queen' Story To Promote New Movie Where He Plays Gayface

This one dates back to 1976. Antonio Banderas had a mishap on his bike, and someone came to his rescue. It's such a warm and endearing story I feel fuzzy all over. Not.

But, of course, there's a catch to this one. Banderas is playing gayface in a new movie and he's using this story to promote the movie. 

Banderas said his saviour – described as a ‘drag queen’ in a wig and dress – “came from nowhere, got in...

Jury Rules In Favor of Nicholas Sparks: He's Not Homophobic At All

This whole story with Nicholas Sparks and alleged homophobia and racist comments has been ongoing for a while. I've posted about it before, and it looks as though it's finally reached a conclusion. At least it's reached a conclusion in the legal sense.

This week, a jury ruled in favor of Sparks, who was accused of creating a hostile work environment by discriminating against and saying disparaging things about LGBTQ students, Bl...
