More Than a Bromance

Many people automatically equate gay sex with anal sex but not everyone who is gay enjoys it (and indeed, many straight people do enjoy it). Sexuality is no indication of specific sexual preferences. Always ask a partner what they're into rather than thinking they'll enjoy the same things that you do.

Oral transmission of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI's) is on the increase, including gonorrhea and syphilis, so condoms aren't just for anal sex. Stock up on flavoured condoms to make sure you're fully equipped.

There's no need for condoms to be boring. Try putting one on with your mouth, or using one hand to caress your man's balls while the other slips the condom in place.

Penises vary in size and shape but if you compare yourself to your partner, it's unlikely to lead to a fun time in bed. Whether you're bigger or smaller than your lover doesn't matter: it's the fun you can have together that counts.

If a guy tries to insist on barebacking, tell him no glove, no love.

Great for massage and hand jobs, lube is also essential if you want to explore anal play.

Just because you like something, it doesn't mean a lover will. Try different oral techniques and ways of using your hands to pleasure your lover.

That way you'll see what you both enjoy.

Sex isn't about endurance. If a partner is too big for you, don't feel obliged to take it all. Go on top during sex, and use your hand during oral to control the depth of penetration.
