FILM REVIEW | 15 Years – A very sexy gay love story
Yoav is one angry man – so angry that he sacrifices relationships with his partner and his best friend for a life of solitude – in the new heart searing film 15 Years.
An Israeli production and filmed in Tel Aviv, 15 Years focuses on sexy daddy Yoav (Oded Leopold) who appears to have everything a gay man would want: an extremely sexy partner of 15 years Dan (a very sexy and well-cast Udi Persi who brings comfort to the screen every time he is on), a good job as an architect, absolutely gorgeous best female friend Alma (Ruti Asarsai), and an amazing apartment overlooking Tel Aviv. What he didn’t have was a great relationship with his parents; his mother is long gone while his father lies comatose in a local nursing facility. Then one night, while he and Dan are hosting a dinner party with all their friends, Yoav loses it. Why? Because their gay friends now have children while Alma had previously announced that she is pregnant.
Yoav starts complaining that they are all turning into straight people – with families – something he’s just not into. But when Dan starts to reassess their relationship and feels he could possibly see a baby in their future Yoav doesn’t accept this and leaves and moves into a dilapidated apartment, and his life starts falling apart. His company loses a very lucrative contract, his father passes away thereby leaving wounds still open, his friends shun him, he doesn’t want to be at Alma’s side when she has her baby, and a one-night stand he has turns into a mess. Meanwhile, Dan has moved on and has met a much younger guy who’s he’s really smitten with. So is Yoav and Dan’s 15-year relationship really over? Will Yoav come to his senses and realize what he’s lost?
What’s really frustrating with this film is Yoav’s anger. Sure he can be mad at the world but enough so to lose everything he’s worked for? Anyone would kill to have people like Alma and Dan in their lives – what is Yaov’s anger and demons really all about? We are never convinced. But having said that writer and director Yuval Hadadi has made a very good film with perhaps the sexiest gay couple you’ll see in a film this year, a film that really left me thinking about past relationships and what-ifs.
15 Years is now available from all good digital platforms. Visit the website for more details.

Former porn star Logan McCree teams up with BBC for I’m A Men’s Rights Activist
Logan McCree, (Philipp Tanzer), a former gay porn star has made a short documentary which is currently available to watch on the BBC iPlayer.
The documentary, which is currently available via the BBC iPlayer is entitled I Am A Men’s Rights Activist sees BBC journalist Alvaro Alvarez follow the German-born Tanzer as he travels from Scotland, where he now resides to Chicago, USA for a Men’s Rights Conference.
I Am A Men’s Rights Activist Reviewed
However clocking in at only 24 mins the documentary barely scratches the surface of what Tanzer claims he is trying to uncover or really explore any of the subjects that he mentions at the start of the programme, like male circumcision, domestic abuse against men, society’s expectations of men and paternity rights for fathers going through a divorce.
What’s left is a paper-thin outline of a documentary, with barely any contributors or stories for the audience to feel anything for the subjects raised.
The show lacks stats and fails to find any significant experts, aside from a divorce lawyer and an Open University research associate to talk about some of the issues raised.
What’s for sure is 24 minutes really isn’t long enough to explore this subject.

Is it common for younger gay guys to hook up with older guys?
What’s the oldest age gap you’ve had between you and another sexual partner. A couple of years? 10 years? 20 years?
Some of the most enduring celebrity same-sex relationships have many years between them, like Tom Daley and Dustin Lance-Black (20 years) or Sir Elton and David Furnish (15 years)
However, one 20-year-old guy on Reddit, got to wondering why it was bothering him that so many guys around his age had slept with guys 10 years older than them.
He wrote, “Something that’s struck me as odd is that a lot of them have been with guys that are like 10 years older than us. Even a few 18-year-olds seem to have had intercourse with thirty-something-year-olds and are more sexually experienced than me
“I’m not sure why this upsets me, but I’m curious to know if you guys think that hooking up with older guys like this is really common. Also what does this say about the young guy? What does this say about the older guy?”

You okay hun?
I’m more curious about why it matters to you [via]
Really very common
This is extremely common. Lots of younger guys are into Daddies. I’m 39 and if I’m on Grindr or whatnot I get hit up by lots of guys in their late teens and early twenties (more so than guys in their late twenties and their 30s hit me). [via]
They’re charming
Daddy is really charming to me [via]
What you’re into
It’s what you’re into I guess… I mean I’m the same age as you and I almost exclusively go for guys older than me because I absolutely love daddies and the age difference turns me on but also there aren’t many guys my age who are out in my area so I’m kinda forced to go for older guys. [via]
Going with the flow
As someone who has been with multiple older guys, it’s just preference. Some days, I want a guy in his 20’s like me. Some days I want a guy in his mid 30’s. Sometimes I want a silver fox in his late 50’s or 60’s. [via]
So do age gaps really matter as long as everyone’s consenting and of legal age? Use the comments below to let us know what you think

GAY HISTORY | Remembering the first time at The Catacombs
A contributor to our Lost LGBT+ Scene project left this recollection of his first encounter at The Catacombs as an 18-year-old in the heydays of the early 70s.
Vivid memories of The Catacombs…..
At the tender age of 18, new to London, very green and exceedingly shy and discovering freedom!
Soon discovered Gay News (a now-defunct gay newspaper) and the gay scene at Earls Court. Must have been incredibly brave to go on my own.
Saturday nights. There were bouncers on the door, and the club used to provide square gold coloured metal keyring fobs with raised lettering CATA top-line COMBS bottom line to help ID.
There was a steepish narrow flight of steps down to the dance floor and a bar on the right I think. I THINK they did sell beer, but I only ever drank Coke, so might be mistaken.
The dance floor was always dark, illuminated with numerous flashing disco spotlights. I vividly remember the packed floor and the heads bouncing to Motown, Stevie Wonder-Superstition, Temptations-The Law of the Land, Timmy Thomas-Why cant we live together.
I hear those on the radio sometimes, shut my eyes and I’m back there in 1971/2 such was the huge impression. Around the dance floor which was circular or multi-sided such as Octagonal was a series of arches which led on to a corridor around the dancefloor.
There was a series of arches into open rooms around the outside of this corridor, each room with tables and seating around. There was always a row of stationary figures around the wall just watching the dancefloor and a similar row around the corridor, all awaiting the next pickup. I don’t remember where the toilets were, very shy and maybe didn’t use them, nor the disco, nor if there were any emergency exits and looking back.
I always think the place could have been an inferno if the worst happened, but oh! such happy memories.

Look out for toilet attendants and other users. Head to the last cubicle and quietly cough to see if anyone’s inside. If you’re in the cubicle and want some company open the door
