Gay secy

Zero.

Disgracefully, that’s the number of U.S. states that call for sex education curriculums be comprehensively inclusive to LGBTQIA+ folks.

Most sex learning programs, instead, assume that those receiving the data are both heterosexual and cisgender. If there’s anything less cute than clogs, it’s that degree of homophobia and transphobia.

That’s why we worked with GLSEN, Advocates for Youth, and two queer sex educators to create a safer sex guide that understands the true complexity and diversity across gender identities, sexual orientation, attractions, and experiences.

Only 5 (ish) percent of LGBTQIA+ students saw any LGBTQIA+ representation in health class.

This guide is for the 95 percent of students whose many sexual health questions went unanswered in school.

It’s also for any LGBTQIA+ person who’s ever wondered:

• “What conversations should I have with a partner before sex?”
• “Is there a peril of pregnancy or STI transmission during [insert sex act here]?”
• “What can I do to build sex even better?”
• “How do
  
  

  What Does “Top” Mean?

  In the context of gay relationships and sexual dynamics, terms such as “top”, “bottom”, “verse” and “side” are often used to narrate a person’s sexual preferences and roles. It is important to knowing these terms not only for members of the Gay community, but also for increasing understanding and acceptance of queer relationships in society.

  As a control, in gay sexual relationships, the “top” is the partner who has a penetrative role during anal sex. However, the notion of top includes much more than just physical actions: it includes a whole set of attitudes, preferences, and sometimes heartfelt roles.

  Sexual health for gay and bisexual men

  Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

  Using a condom helps protect against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.

  If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone new, you should possess an STI and HIV evaluate every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is significant, as some STIs do not cause any symptoms.

  Hepatitis A

  Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.

  Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can fetch it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated sustenance and drink.

  Symptoms of hepatitis A can appear up to 8 weeks after sex and include tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).

  Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a packed recovery within a
