Sleeping under the stars, spending time in the countryside, wandering into a leather convention and getting surrounded by a pack of pups...?

For Upton Rand, finding out about America's gay campgrounds was a revelation. One he decided to grab with both hands. And probably his mouth.

You can see photos of him and his pup, find out more about his shenanigans, AND order his book, 'Gay Campgrounds' right here: https://www.gaymensfieldguid...

Eye contact: essential for cruising, flirting, and romance. At least, according to the books. But how much is too much? Why do we look away when it happens accidentally? Join me as I torture a metaphor, miss out on a shower with a hottie, and generally explore one of those things you don't think about until it's not there anymore.

I got a nasty throat infection, so rather than torture my tonsils trying to croak my way through a 'proper' episode, let's end this season with a clip from that live show.

Thanks to everyone that came (HUNDREDS of people! It was amazing.) and if you want to hear the rest of the show, get in touch - I'm sure there's a queer venue near you that would welcome a performance from me and my (many, many) nob jokes.

How do you have better sex with strangers? Send more nudes? Shower together? Get better at organising hookups?


Sex therapist Todd Baretz shares the story of how sex with lots of random men helped him realise the truth: anonymous shags weren't for him, and the best way to get good sex is to get to know the person you're shagging.

Can condoms make sex more... sexy? Should we say Grace before filling our mouths? Why was I such a weird teenager? All these questions and more are pretty much ignored in favour of making some silly jokes. Standard, really.

From straight students to sexual Sherlocks, we're touching on every aspect of johnnies, nodders, and spaff-catchers. Just be sure to wash your hands afterwards.

According to Andrew Tate, if you enjoy making sweet love with a woman, you're gay. I look into why anyone would say something so strange, while trying not to die of a hangover. A lesser person would surely have perished.

Also: The naked version of a meeting that could have been an email, why you shouldn't eat too many cakes, and what to google if you're not having fun in bed.

What gender-neutral words can you use for queer people instead of 'Daddy'? From Star Trek to star signs, here's a queer take on the struggles of being non-binary when you look very cis. And totes masc.

An interrupted gym session leads to looking for support in all the wrong places, a message from God, and the need to search deep inside myself. Really deep. All the way in there.

Also involved: the best biscuit, some surprisingly strong pelvic floor muscles, and an unexpected way of dealing with stubborn sweetcorn.
