Is Your Sex Life Working for You?

IS YOUR SEX LIFE WORKING FOR YOU?Do you find that the sex you have is sometimes not the sex you want? Maybe you’ve taken risks that you later regretted. If so, recognising what went wrong can be a big step towards getting back on track. In the latest issue of FS magazine from GMFA, the gay men’s health charity, three guys tell all and get some advice.

Jaime, 19 from Essex, tells his story: “My friends say I am a bit of a tart because I snog a lot of guys when we go out, which I do, but I don’t have sex with all of them. I probably have a proper shag once or twice a month. I always try to use condoms. If a guy asked me to shag without condoms, I would say no. But sometimes you just get carried away, you don’t want to stop and go through the whole condom business.

Is Tennis the Most Gay Friendly Sport?

Rafael NadalIf England’s World Cup failure wasn’t bad enough, football suffered another knock today as it was voted the least gay-friendly sport in Britain. Tennis took the top spot, with 65 per cent saying it was the most gay-friendly (nothing to do with Rafael Nadal right!).

Rugby scored 29 per cent and just 6 per cent of respondents said football was our most gay-friendly sport.

The online poll, the latest Stonewall social media poll, backed up recent YouGov research for Stonewall which found that more than one in four fans think football is ‘anti-gay’ and three in five fans say anti-gay abuse dissuades players from coming out.    

James Munro from the Lawn Tennis Association said: ‘As the national governing body for tennis in Britain, the Lawn Tennis Association is delighted that tennis has been recognised as a welcoming sport for all, regardless of age, ability, background or sexual orientation.’
