The world is in a moment of crisis. We need change, we need hope, we need optimism. TikTok has become the defining app of the coronavirus era. We meet the creators of some of the best queer TikTok content. Tom Of Finland this is not! It's Bob Of Scotland, whose photography explores the feminine side of the gay male psyche.

Husbands Rick And Griff share their love with the world via their fan sites, their realistic signature sex toys, and the friends they invite to film with them. You guys were brought together by a toprating TV show. I came out to her a while ago when I had a serious boyfriend, someone I was proud of and I wanted my parents to know this person. So I told her I was seeing a guy. She was worried and ashamed and confused. She suggested trying to change [my sexuality].

I feel disconnected to her by not being able to share that. Not many people have colleagues as supportive as Kyle and Jackie. Blind Date is just light entertainment, but it felt that the emotions in your episodes were very real… Definitely.

It was quite emotional. I felt overwhelmed. So, what are you hoping for with Esteban? Spend a bit more time together. All the best.

This is especially important when it comes to fun in the sun and keeping my beach bag stocked with all the essentials.

But what grooming essentials should be in the bag? The beach is one place where grown men can behave like boys and still be totally, adorably, sexy. So, go on, start building that monster sandcastle! Make sure you lather it on thick which is why I prefer creams over sprays , and re-apply every two hours and after swimming.

You never know who might be watching and might offer to give you a hand. You never know who might be watching. Go to www. But what type of sunglasses you wear at the beach is about more than just a fashion statement.

Make sure your sunglasses state that they have UV protection. Keeping some handy in summer helps prevent greasy, sun-screen-y fingers and sand going in your eyes, in your food and on your screens. You will thank me for this one. This helps stops the breakouts and clogged pores that many of us suffer during summer.

It is scientifically proven that sunscreen prevents skin ageing and who wants to look like a sultana? This means they get burnt and damaged faster. Note that you will need to apply lip protection more often than sunscreen on your face and body, especially if you are a lip-licker. What prompted you to launch the brand ten years ago?

Michal Nicolas: When I launched Teamm8 it was purely as an underwear label. That Calvin Klein campaign was a long time before Teamm8 launched, though. Yes, many years before, but it had a huge effect on me and stayed with me. I love the classic yet hyper-sexy feel of it, and it influenced my design ethos.

But ten years ago I thought the big players were all playing it safe and I felt I had something to contribute — without the constraints of focus groups. You went your own way from the beginning. What was your design background? So, although I had no formal design training, for 20 years I underwent a fashion industry apprenticeship! You also had an earlier career as a singer and performer. Yes, prior to Teamm8 and interspersed within those years in retail, I had a career as a singer.

And although that feels like another lifetime ago, it really was the launching pad for Teamm8. How so? Back in those days it was all about Myspace — so retro! I had a record deal in Germany and was lucky enough to have had some success and had garnered a significant international following.

How did the early days go? Who embraced the brand first? The concept I launched with was the Teamm8 search for Everyday Champions. I had ten local guys who each had a back story and, of course, were easy on the eye! I then created a profile for each of the guys on the site and asked the public to vote for their favourite.

The top three became the Teamm8 Star Players and featured in the campaign. Blogs all over the world picked up on it and it went from there; it was huge. So it would be fair to say that gay men from around the world embraced Teamm8 first. I literally launched with a Brief and a Trunk underwear style in three colours each. The brand has evolved a lot since then!

Today, Teamm8 is much more than just an underwear brand, with activewear and swimwear being just as important.

I feel like every couple of years Teamm8 evolves into something different. Teamm8 was created for the confident guy who was comfortable in his own skin. From your perspective, how has the fashion retail landscape changed over the ten years?

Fashion has become so accessible and disposable, with the latter making it a tough field for players like Teamm8. Believe it or not, a design from our second ever underwear collection called the Super Low Brief is still our number-one bestseller. It sums up the whole Teamm8 brand perfectly.

Classic, understated yet super sexy. So, although we bring out several new styles each year, we still listen to our customers and make sure they get what they want. What about in the swimwear range? Two years ago, we did a flamingo print swimwear collection that went crazy. At the same time, our customers need to know they can come back and find that cut or that piece that works perfectly for them, so my aim is to provide a little of both. Matthias Franke and opposite in the Aerial range 60 DNA It about continuing to evolve and being aware of what our guys want… They want to workout and hang out and want to look good and feel sexy.

Fast-fashion is a by-product of this manic social media world we now live in. Everything is so instant and fast.

Millions of people are witness to things as they happen, no longer having to wait for it to appear in the media. Every person is now a broadcaster, whether they are equipped to be or not.

As a result, fast-fashion brands are poised and ready to strike as soon as something hits the catwalk and make it widely accessible and affordable. People are more body conscious than ever, travelling more, and generally just jam-packing their lives with as much as possible so, really, it makes sense that we dress as comfortably as possible. Our slant is fashion active and it works great for us.

There are some incredible things happening in fabrics being crafted specifically for Activewear that makes them more durable, functional and enhances performance.

You introduced a range of activewear a few years ago; do you have any plans for a readyto-wear or street-wear collection? The pieces are still very functional but they have a sexy street-wear appeal. It goes back to continuing to evolve and being aware of what our guys want. And they want to work-out and hang out but above all they want to look good and feel sexy! Our guy is confident but not arrogant. He is sexy but in a natural, understated way. That, to me, makes them the perfect Teamm8 man.

The Flamingo swimwear range sold out in record time and is due to make a comeback. Less is more and our guys love that. Where do you draw inspiration for each collection? Sometimes with success, sometimes with monumental failure!

But for me the biggest pay-off is learning from both and the best lesson is learning to trust myself without being closed off to other opinions. Like most people, I can be consumed with self-doubt, but I think as long as you stay true then either result is acceptable.

Is part of that listening to and trusting the people around you? This is by no means a one-man show. For any fashion brand to survive 10 years is a huge achievement so, congratulations! I also know what it takes to launch a brand and keep it going, stay relevant and survive. We try not to be too tricky. Often, less is more, and our guys love that.

MORE: Teamm8. By Marc Andrews ove Is Magic is not your average gay pop record. Its avant-garde creator, John Grant is not the kind of gay man who does things by halves. This is, quite possibly, the reason his music has resonated so brilliantly through the years among the LGBT community. Meanwhile, his lyrics remain as acerbic and witty as ever; his observations on the world as sharp.

Yet, these accomplishments only tell part of the John Grant story. Love Is Magic finds him revisiting some of these topics, remaining outspoken on global politics guess who Smug Cunt is about? Is this the John Grant album you either love or hate? John Grant: It seems like it. You just have to go in and do your thing, have fun and then it goes out into the world after that. Smug Cunt must be a contender for song title of the year! Who is talking at the beginning of the track The Common Snipe?

At the end of the song my friend reads a scientific description, in Icelandic, of the sound that the snipe makes. I never think about making a pop song — just whatever comes into my head and what sounds good to me. There are echoes of Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder and even a little Robyn on your album.

Is that a fair appraisal? I was thinking about her story, about the people who have accused her, about what it might be like to go through that transition. Some people are disgusted by that but have no idea what the person is going through. Do you worry fans might have expected a different record from you? If I made Queen Of Denmark again people would make fun of that as well. Hopefully people will stick with you. In your art you can react however you want. I would like to be involved in supporting people who are having a difficult time.

I find it very hard to be compassionate when it comes to people having put Trump in office simply out of spite because they hate Obama so much. That seems really disgusting to me. They do a really good Pride parade in August, which seems like everybody takes part — families, everyone, literally the whole country, which is really cool. I am happy doing my own thing. I feel like we are all doing our own thing.

What do you listen to at home? I listen to a lot of film scores like Ennio Morricone and Devo. I have one of these things where you can put 5, CDs on the thing and then mix it up. I love all sorts of different things. How should we react to that?

We have to reiterate that our lives and what we do in private is none of their fucking business. I have no intention of trying to prove anything to anybody either. Any final words for the readers of DNA? Thanks for your support. For more on John Grant go to johngrantmusic. People have been combining drugs and sex — as couples and in groups — ever since, well, ever since they could. PnP has come to focus on a handful of illicit drugs which, combined with prescription medications such as Viagra, add longevity to its list of appealing attributes.

Simon Ruth, CEO of Thorne Harbour Health, an organisation which provides services to the LGBTQI community in Victoria, notes that while people are still using a range of drugs to enhance sex — from ice and ecstasy to cannabis 66 DNA and amyl — the biggest change over time relate to the circumstances in which they do so.

Using drugs in homes is easier than navigating use in more public spaces like laneways, crowded dancefloors and toilet cubicles. Meanwhile, hooking up using an app allows for almost instant gratification. Men who practice chemsex frequently may risk addiction — and not only to the drugs. Compulsively repeating the processes leading up to chemsex is a type of behavioural addiction.

It affects the brain differently to substance addiction, but both types are characterised by the same law of diminishing returns: the more a person seeks out the experience, the less pleasure they derive from the action. Men who are more dependent on chemsex are at greater risk of mental and physical health problems, he says, and may experience anxiety attacks, acute paranoia, sexual dependency, injection site injuries, and sexual consent concerns.

FLUX confirms that only frequent illicit drug use including chemsex is associated with poor mental health outcomes. ACON provides up to 12 free counselling sessions for clients who want to manage, reduce or quit using. Thorne Harbour Health currently offers two programs, including Rewired, which specifically addresses methamphetamine use. Simon Ruth is a strong advocate for LGBTQIspecific services and programs, having worked in mainstream drug and alcohol services for 25 years.

Those who have an addiction are likely to need a period of abstinence, possibly in a residential treatment facility. Upon recovery, he began a career as a therapist to help others. Combining certain drugs and taking risks with GHB and alcohol is also common. The consequences have been reported in the media and, while chemsex is often sensationalised, Fenton has seen gay men die or severely injure themselves as a result of drug psychosis triggered by chemsex addiction.

At the Second International Conference on Chemsex in Berlin this year, attendees discussed the relationship between chemsex addiction and mental health issues like trauma and loneliness, bullying and abuse, low self-esteem and internalised pain from homophobia.

However, he notes that all treatment programs should examine why people turn to certain substances and behaviours, and to prompt the person to question what role they are playing. Now get these speedos on so some lucky prick can peel them off! Midnight blue with an anchor emblem across the front in white. Tight but not constricting.

Shiny in the right light and smooth to touch. Perfect fit. My cock bulging like a dream. My arse more than fuckable. It helped that I was 23 and not long out of a difficult break-up, and opting for a trip to Dr Dumbbell in the evening rather than staring at dirty marks on the wall where framed memories once hung.

Their cheek-cupping, crotch-hugging aesthetic, however, is not the sole reason I remember my first budgie smugglers so vividly. It was how they made me feel. Like new.
