The hidden pain of coming out – „La Cortina“

It’s August, I think 2009, and I’ve gone to the beach with my girlfriend – as I’ve been doing more and more in the summer months since we started dating. For the last 2 years we’ve been in a fairly traditional relationship – shaped by fairly traditional family images. But something in both of us pulls us out of this traditionalism.

Sexual health – what does it mean for gay men?

Does sexual health mean the absence of STIs (sexually transmitted infections)? Or great potency = lots of partners (in the case of heterosexuals, this is usually equated with a large number of children)? Sexual health is more than the absence of disease or dysfunction. It encompasses holistic well-being in relation to sexuality – physical, emotional, mental and social.

Moxe’s Queer Parenting – Lonely in a crowd

The other day I had some amazing all heart tantric sex, doing all the things I like, pleasuring another man. When it was all done, I had this feeling of running away. Like when I was single and young (well not only….). Running from the scene, feeling awkward. This time it was more conscious – I wanted to hold my baby.

In love thanks to GLS – Dror’s experience, part 2

Nico: How did you feel in the weeks after the workshop? And how long did it take before you felt like you were in a relationship? Dror: I felt good, I felt very relaxed and secure of myself. I was full of emotions and self love. And I was slower in my day to day life, accepting the beauty of it, not always thinking about the next thing to do.

Sexualität, „Das Spiel der Sinne“

Hello, my name is Jose, I am 45 years old and my boyfriend’s name is Luisfer, he is 13 years older than me and together we rediscovered our sexuality, but this time starting again from a process of self-acceptance, valuing and respecting first of all the emotional rhythms of the other person, not thinking only about oneself but also and above all about the other.

Schlagernacktparty Therapy – part I

Holy Thursday, 06th of April 2023 – It was my second SNP. That’s the professional abbreviation for Schlagernacktparty. If you’ve never been, it sounds a bit obscure, maybe a bit dorky. Free body culture in a big group – a thousand naked men, some naked queers and naked women drinking alcohol, swaying, singing and dancing mostly in a good mood in Schwuz. German Schlager to the bone.

Still Gay

The world is moving forwards and identities like gay and lesbian are being challenged by the young generation, by the academic world, by people’s experiences. Many of our clients had a history with women and don’t necessarily identify with the word gay. Neither does the younger generation that is more fluid and skeptic about static identities and wants to include trans and non-binary people.

Sex is Relating

We have this tension between wanting to live alone, that things will go our way, while at the same time needing to be part of a community, share and be part of something bigger. Understanding that in the current world, it is harder and harder to live alone. Again and again we get hurt by this animal called human. So, we developed technology that will allow us not to ask questions in the street, in school, machines that will help us to write, study, work, we can even chat with machines/ slaves.
