  • Top 5 Erotic Games To Play

    Top 5 Erotic Games To Play

    We thought we’d share some games you could play with your partner or F buddy to get the mood going.

    Sound of Silence

    Taking one of your senses out of the equation can heighten the intensity of touch. Get your partner to put on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones before sensually touching them in whichever way you choose. Temporarily removing sounds can help crank up the sensation of your touch on their skin. If you and your partner are game, you can also experiment with blindfolds as another way of stimulating their senses.

    Creative Combinations

     Write down, on a separate card for each, ten intercourse positions you like, and a series of timings from 3 minutes up to an hour. Then take it in turns to pull out two cards, one from each pile, to decide how you’ll make love and how long you’ll make it last.

    Jigsaw Fantasy

    Take a sheet of A4 paper and on it draw a picture of something naughty that you’ve fantasised about doing with your partner. (Don’t worry if you can’t draw!) Cut the paper into sixteen square pieces and hide them around the house. Send your partner hunting for the pieces – you could give them a sexy reward for every one they find. When all sixteen pieces have been discovered, your partner can put the picture together and then act out the fantasy.

    The Erotic Audit

     One of you lies perfectly still, the other touches from head to toe, covering every inch, no missing areas. The receiver murmurs numbers – from 1 to 5 where 1 is good and 5 is amazing – to reflect what feels best… what to do less of… what to do more of… what to keep doing more and more and more.

    Choosing His Spot

    A game just for him. He chooses three sensitive parts of his body – His partner creates a love experience using only those three spots and no other.

  • Goa Government Plans To Make Young LGBTs “NORMAL”

    Plans are being discussed to set up centres to treat and ‘train’ young gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans people to be ‘normal’.

    Officials in Goa have discussed plans to create centres, similar to Alcoholics Anonymous to treat LGBTs where they will be ‘trained’ and given medicines to make them ‘normal’ state Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Ramesh Tawadkar said in January.

    Speaking to reporters at a launch event for Goa State Youth Policy 2015 the Tribune India reports he said, “We will make them normal. We will have a centre for them. Like Alcoholic Anonymous centres, we will have centres…”

    When asked what that meant for the LGBTs in the region he replied, “We will train them and (give them) medicines too.” Other target groups include: juvenile offenders, drug-afflicted youth, marginalised or migrant youth, geographically disadvantaged youth. A full survey will be carried out on the LGBT community, so their problems can be specifically addressed.

  • Over Half of Gay People Feel Uncomfortable Kissing In Public

    A new survey has revealed that 54% of gay people in a relationship would feel uncomfortable kissing their partner in public.

    • Over half of LGBT people questioned feared kissing their partner in public
      UK’s first Valentine’s Kiss In happened in London on the steps of Eros
    • Over 1000 people responded to a survey conducted by Pride In London, which asked participants whether they’d be completely comfortable kissing a same-sex partner in public.

    Over half (54%) said that they would not be comfortable at all, and even though 46% said they would be, only one third of that group had never had any issues with homophobic responses in the past. Of those who said that they felt uncomfortable nearly 90% said that they feared negative attention that might arise from their PDA.

    To combat this, Britain’s very first Valentine’s Day public ‘kiss-in’ took place on the steps of the Eros statue, Piccadilly Circus, launching the campaign for the freedom to kiss in public – whatever your sexuality.

    The event officially marks the launch of the ‘Heroes’ theme for Pride in London’s 2015 parade, which takes place in central London on June 27th. Members and spectators of the parade will be encouraged to celebrate the LGBT’s heroes that have championed – or continue to champion equality and our freedom to be ourselves.

    Since going live in January, the ‘#FreedomTo kiss’ campaign has encouraged thousands of people across the capital and the country to kiss their loved one in public, take a photo and post it on social media, tagging #FreedomTo kiss.

  • 25 Signs You Are With The Right Man

    25 Signs You Are With The Right Man

    We used to say it with flowers — but now the true sign of modern love is a change in Facebook status from ‘single’ to ‘in a relationship’, according to new research.

    A survey asking 2,000 adults about the modern signs of true love found a massive 64 per cent said updating on social media makes a new relationship ‘official’. Having your partner’s photo as your desktop background, using their name for your online passwords and saving their favourite shows to your Netflix account were also named as modern signs of true love.

    Amazingly, over a third of adults confessed they would say ‘I love you’ for the first time in a text, instant message or video chat.

    A spokeswoman for gifting website GettingPersonal.co.uk, which carried out the survey, said,

    ‘’As technology and the internet has taken over our lives, of course our relationship habits have changed too.

    ‘’Traditional romantic gestures of showing our love have now been replaced by texts, Facebook updates and picture messages, which is a real shame.

    ‘’Being romanced the old fashioned way with a card or gift (or even a love note) is so much more personal than a social media status or wall post and shows that special person just how much they mean to you.

    ‘’After all, when it comes to true love, you don’t want to cut corners.’’

    The research also found being in constant contact is indicative of a modern relationship – with the average couple texting or instant messaging each other seven times throughout the day. Texting habits were often mentioned amid the list of true love, with 13 per cent who said they’d rather send a soppy text than buy a spontaneous gift for their partner. Sending a text in the morning and night is the done thing if living separately, said a quarter of adults – as well as sending one more when arriving somewhere safely.

    Signing greeting cards from both of you, coming home from a night out to be with them and feeling strange having the bed to yourself were all named as modern signs of a serious relationship.

    Interestingly, the results showed independence to be important in modern love, with many who said being able to have your own bank accounts and your own friends are signs of true love.

    The study found many look to Facebook to confirm a relationship – as a huge 63 per cent of adults said they’ve only found out about a friend’s new partner because of their profile updates. s well as a change in online relationship status, things are serious with a partner if they’re Facebook friends with your family members, said 19 per cent of adults.

    And one in ten said a committed partner would ‘tag’ them on social media to let their friends know they’re on a date.

    The spokeswoman said,

    ‘’The results show that sadly, nowadays we often rely on a text or status update to express how we feel about our partner.

    But sometimes it’s the real-life gestures that are the most important.’’

  • That Time Westboro Baptist Church Were Owned By Their Own Logic

    Westboro Baptist Church is infamous for its hateful signs and pernicious picketing. However, when you scratch beneath the surface as to what they are doing, they are themselves hated by god… for being enablers.

    During a Twitter exchange yesterday, Westboro Baptist Church’s entire existence came into call, when THEGAYUK asked weren’t they in fact enablers, if their goal is to stop gay people going to hell?

    Their signs read “God Hates Fag Enablers” and “Fag Enabler In Hell”, so surely by their own logic, god hates them. If in fact god exists and that’s a whole other debate.

    https://twitter.com/WBCVideo/status/565506945818165248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.archive.thegayuk.com%2F_snippet%2Fblog%2F4009928388%2F9389882%2FR3y3NdB6560rzim8j8TBnU58M44.html

    The exchange happened after TheGayUK reported that WBC, whose founders and key players are banned from entering the UK, are planning to picket the Barry Manilow concert tonight. When questioned why they’d used #TrueLove as hashtag at the end of their tweet, they told us because they do care, insisting that WBC were the only people who do… And they linked to a video that suggested the reason they carry their colourful signs at pickets and Tweet bile filled hate, is because they’re stopping us falling over a cliff edge (hell); there’s a metaphor there – and it really is clever (for them), however by that very logic, their signs are acting as a calling for us to stop, and therefore be able to enter heaven. So aren’t Westboro Baptist Church themselves ‘fag enablers’?

    When questioned on that fact they replied with, “Nope! Our goal is to preach; its effect is God’s call”. Again with the enabling…

    Damn it WBC stop enabling us…

    We also called them up on their blatant copyright infringement of Barry Manilow’s picture (just for good measure). God hated stealing, it was in his commandments.

  • Australia To Enter 60th Eurovision Competition

    Although its many thousands of miles away from Europe, Australia will be allowed to participate in this year’s Eurovision competition.

    For the first time in its 60 years, Eurovision will allow Australia to enter the competition – and will a free pass to the final in Vienna, Austria, meaning that it will not have to go through the various heat stages.

    Organisers of Eurovision, the theme for which this year is “Building Bridges”, decided to offer a place to Australia after Jessica Mauboy performed as the interval act at one of heats in last year’s competition. It now has until 16th March to decide whom it’s going to send; already reports of Dame Edna Everage have been put forward to represent the Australian entry.

    Jon Ola Sand, executive supervisor of the contest on behalf of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), said, “It’s a daring and at the same time incredibly exciting move.

    “It’s our way of saying; let’s celebrate this party together!”

    Michael Ebeid, managing director of broadcaster SBS which airs the competition in Australia, said, “We are very excited to have secured this historic opportunity for Australia to be represented on the world’s biggest stage at the 60th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest and are honoured that the European Broadcasting Union has supported us to achieve this ambition.

    “SBS has been broadcasting Eurovision for over 30 years and we have seen how Australians’ love of the song contest has grown during those years.”

    If Australia wins the competition the show will remain in Europe.

  • Grindr Refuses To Answer Refund Question For £1 Per Minute Malware

    Users of the gay hook-up app Grindr probably won’t be able to get refunds after Grindr refuses to be drawn into a conversation about compensation.

    ◉ One user was charged £2.50 for an 8-second call, one user was reportedly billed £65.
    ◉ Users have reported that a premium number was dialled without permission after opening Grindr
    ◉ Grindr refuses to talk about refunds for customers affected.

    Some users of the Grindr app are facing phone bills of up to £65 after a third-party malware advert caused user’s phones to autodial a £1 PER MINUTE premium phone number, without their permission. Even if users acted quickly they were still stung by a connection fee.

    TheGayUK approached Grindr for comment, who refused to answer whether users could claim a refund on the calls made by the ad served by their app.

    The malware ads, which have now been withdrawn, caused mobile phones to automatically dial premium rate numbers when users opened the Grindr app.

    A spokesperson for the tech company said, “Thanks for reaching out. Grindr has no additional comment beyond the statement that we also provided”.

    When clarification on the matter of refunds, communications with the app were suspended.

    Speaking to TheRegister.co.uk One user said, that even if you tried to cancel the call you were still charged the connection fee. Some users have reportedly been stung with bills of up to £65, for calls they didn’t know were being placed by their handsets.

    User Tom said, “The iOS version has recently started dialling (without any user choice, input or confirmation) a premium rate number – 0913 666 0010 – which carries a hefty connection charge and per minute rate, and even if you cancel it quickly you still get hit with the connection charge,”

    “I’m not sure whether it’s malware within the app or their advertising partners – but either way Grindr has refused to respond or even acknowledge messages from users via twitter or email,” he added.

    A user recently contacted to say that he had fallen victim to the malware, he was reportedly charged £2.50 a call that lasted just 8 seconds.

    Another user and reader of TheGayUK, Nick, wrote to us to let us know he had been charged £2.53 for another call that lasted 8 seconds. He said that his phone provider 02, had refunded the charge as a gesture of goodwill.
