Moseley Shoals were founded in April 2000 and have grown into a thriving and diverse sporting and leisure swimming club. We are a mixed ability group – everything from ‘splash & chat’ to competition standard swimming, and now our popular water polo. Affiliated to the Gay Outdoor Club and supported by Birmingham Pride we ensure that there are plenty of opportunities to socialise as well as swim, with the chance to head to the pub after sessions, as well as a range of social events, and holidays.

Drag Race UK’s Blu Hydrangea celebrates 6 years with her man
Blu Hydrangea shared the sweetest snap of herself and her boyfriend and told fans that they were celebrating six years together.
The 24-year-old drag queen, who starred in the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, and became known for her shady comebacks and snarky observations, told fans, “6 years ago, this guy took me by the hand and brought me on this incredible adventure!”
The post quickly racked up thousands of likes and numerous RTs.
Her fellow RPDR UK stars were quick to congratulate the pair with Davida De Campo writing “OMG, you babies”
While Cheryl Hole wrote, “My babies”
Six years ago Blu would have been 18, but that didn’t stop fans wondering whether the pair were actually in high school when they met!
Fans couldn’t get over how young Blu looked in the 2014 picture, with one saying, “Jesus you two look you’d barely started high school! Great skin obvs helps! Happy anniversary”
And another added, “literally floored by how tiny u r in the first pic. y’all r so cute”

This gay bathhouse has done something quite interesting while it can’t open as a sauna
Number 52 sauna in Newcastle has chosen to reopen, but it’s not quite as you’d expect.
All gay bathhouses, like many businesses across the UK, were required by the government to close at the end of March, in order to flatten the curve of Coronavirus.
Slowly parts of the UK’s economy have reopened and although some gay saunas have reopened, some remain closed.
Number 52 has done something very different.
In a Facebook post, Number 52 wrote, Number 52 is back… “Our venue has been temporarily repurposed”
Where you’d normally find plenty of naked men, milling the halls of Number 52, you’re more likely to bump into a barista!
You can now get a coffee in the steam room – minus the steam of course.
They explained,
“Number 52 will be reopening Sunday 30th August from 3pm until the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday
“Our venue has been responsibly adjusted in accordance with current government guidelines. We have installed seating throughout, adapting the venue into a Cafe & Bar.
“We’ve got alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, teas, coffees and we’ll also be serving food and snacks. Take this opportunity to see Number 52 in a different way.
“Admission is temporarily free as we are operating as a Cafe & Bar. Everyone is welcome, pop on down and have a drink.”

Gay Dating | What does CBT mean on a dating app?
If you ever see the acronym “CBT” on a guy’s profile, it’s all about the cock and balls… and the torturing of them
CBT stands for Cock and Ball torture if you see it on a dating or hook up app like Grindr. Otherwise, it probably stands for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Some guys are into having their junk tortured and there’s a whole host of toys out there to help you out if that is your thing. They could include chastity devices, which makes it impossible to touch your D – like a cock cage or even ejaculate, with a sperm stopper.
Some guys are into electro play or even being locked up in a humbler.
CBT play can range from light tickling with a feather to kicking or punching the area. It can go as far as hardcore CBT action where a dom could end up nailing or screwing scrotums to wooden boards.
If you are going to explore this, it’s wise to have a safe word and if there’s likely to be blood drawn from play, to use gloves and antiseptic wipes.
There are serious safety issues to be concerned about and there is a lot of risk to the penis and testicles if play goes too far. Serious injuries include rupture (where you could burst or tear a testicle), torsion (where the spermatic cord gets twisted and cuts off blood supply) and avulsion (where a testicle is ripped off) which will all need medical attention immediately.
