Learning to listen to your gut takes time, practice, and accidentally starring in a very 'niche' sort of porn film. No, more niche than that. Like, REALLY specialised. If you've ever found yourself going along with something and REALLY wondering why you didn't just say 'no thanks!' and run away screaming, then Matt Baume's story might resonate.

A reaction to the (nonsensical, transphobic) April 2025 Supreme Court Ruling on 'biological sex'.

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.

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)...

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

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. YouTube version...

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. YouTube version:&nbsp...

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.
