Origins from BDSM, Kink and the vision of manliness

Most likely the wearing of harnesses comes from the leather and kink communities, although harnesses have evolved beyond their original associations with leather and BDSM. Modern harnesses come in various materials, styles, and designs, catering to a broad spectrum of tastes within the gay community.

Some individuals may have perceived harnesses as a symbol of confidence, strength, or assertiveness, which aligns with certain traditional notions of masculinity. In this sense, wearing a harness can be a way for some gay men to express themselves in a manner they associate with masculinity.

Five reasons why some gay men wear harnesses
1. Fashion and Style: Many gay men wear harnesses as a fashion statement. Harnesses come in various designs and materials, allowing individuals to express their unique style and enhance their overall look.
2. Club and Nightlife Scene: Harnesses are popular in the LGBTQ+ club and nightlife scene. They can be seen as a bold and confident choice for those who want to stand out and make a statement during events, parties, or pride celebrations.
3. Body Positivity: Some gay men wear harnesses as a way to celebrate and embrace their bodies. It can be a form of body positivity and self-expression, allowing individuals to showcase their confidence and comfort with their own skin.
4. Kink and BDSM: In the context of kink and BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism), harnesses may be worn as part of fetish or role-playing activities. It’s essential to note that not all gay men who wear harnesses are involved in BDSM.
5. Empowerment and Liberation: Wearing a harness can be a symbol of empowerment and liberation for some individuals. It represents breaking free from societal norms and expressing one’s authentic self.
Do Tops Or Bottoms wear harnesses?

The choice to wear a harness is not necessarily tied to someone’s sexual role as a top or bottom. Both tops and bottoms, as well as individuals who identify as versatile or sides/switch, can wear harnesses. The decision to wear a harness is more about personal style, fashion preferences, and individual expression rather than sexual roles.

What kind of harnesses are there?

There are various types of harnesses, each serving different purposes and often associated with specific contexts such as fashion, BDSM, or outdoor activities. Here are some common types of harnesses:
1. Chest Harness:
  - Style: Wraps around the chest, creating a visually striking design.
  - Use: Popular as a fashion accessory and can be part of BDSM attire.
2. Body Harness:
  - Style: Extends beyond the chest, covering the torso in intricate patterns.
  - Use: Fashionable accessories in alternative fashion scenes and BDSM.
3. Shoulder Harness:
  - Style: Covers the shoulders and upper chest, often creating a bold look.
  - Use: Aesthetic accessory in fashion and alternative scenes.
4. Leather Harness:
  - Style: Made from leather, providing a rugged or fetish aesthetic.
  - Use: Common in BDSM and alternative fashion.
5. Harness Bra:
  - Style: Combines elements of a bra and harness for a sensual look.
  - Use: Fashionable lingerie or BDSM accessory.
6. Full-Body Harness:
  - Style: Extends across the chest, torso, and sometimes down to the hips or thighs.
  - Use: Can be a fashion statement or part of more elaborate BDSM attire.
How to care for your harness

Caring for your harness is essential to ensure its longevity, maintain its appearance, and promote safety, especially if it’s a safety or BDSM harness. Here are general care tips:
1. Read and Follow Care Instructions:
  - Always check and follow any care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Different materials and designs may require specific care.
2. Cleaning:
  - Regularly clean your harness to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. Use a damp cloth or sponge for spot cleaning.
  - For leather harnesses, use a leather cleaner or a mild soap designed for leather. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material.
3. Drying:
  - Allow your harness to air-dry completely before storing it. Avoid direct sunlight, high heat, or using a hairdryer, as these can damage certain materials.
4. Storage:
  - Store your harness in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Hanging it or laying it flat can help maintain its shape.
  - For leather harnesses, use a dust bag or wrap it in a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
5. Avoid Moisture:
  - Keep your harness away from excessive moisture or humidity, as it can lead to mold, mildew, or leather damage.
6. Inspect Regularly:
  - Check the harness regularly for any signs of wear, loose stitching, or damage. Repair or replace any damaged parts promptly.
7. Use Appropriate Lubricants:
  - If your harness is used in BDSM activities, be mindful of the type of lubricant you use. Some lubricants can damage certain materials. Choose a compatible, body-safe lubricant.
8. Rotate Use:
  - If you have multiple harnesses, rotate their use to prevent overuse and prolong their lifespan.
9. Avoid Extreme Conditions:
  - Avoid exposing your harness to extreme conditions such as extreme heat, cold, or prolonged sunlight, as these can cause damage.
10. Follow Safety Guidelines:
  - If your harness is a safety harness for activities like rock climbing or racing, follow the specific safety guidelines provided for its care and use.

Motorcycle gear review

For my day to day riding, I’ve been wearing my old textile gear until recently. The old jacket and trousers have seen many, many miles in wind, rain and shine. To be honest, they were well past their best and not only did they leak, but I looked like a tramp in them.

The final straw was when the seam on the arse of the textile trousers split.

Design, trends and materials have moved on significantly since I bought my old gear.

Most of the motorcycles I ride these days are naked bikes and I’m not the same guy I was then. I’m older and carry a few more kg’s.

I don’t often ride for just pleasure these days either. I visit customers, so need to be reasonably presentable.

Boots: Tucano Urbano Marty Boots

This was easy. I saw a guy wearing some Tucano Urbano Marty Shoes while I was wearing my old, clumsy sports bike boots recently. Decision made.

These look a bit like leather Converse, casual but smart enough to wear to customers I know.

100% waterproof is a massive bonus and the ankle bone padding works well.
Overall the Marty shoes are great. They look really good, they’re waterproof, strong and well built.

They’re great to wear, not too heavy, although they are reinforced around the heel, ankle and across the front which adds some weight. Superb boots that I’ll wear until they fall off.

CE Certified model – category 2 compliant with EN13634:2017 directive. £129.99

Trousers: Richa Original Jeans

Generally, I’ve always worn textile trousers which are usually bulky and sweaty. Mine were well past their best and the protection wasn’t up to current standards either.
I’ve never tried motorcycle jeans so thought I’d try some Richa Original jeans in black.

These are obviously not waterproof but tick all the other boxes. I’ll probably get some new textile trousers at some point too.

Richa jeans are a mix of denim Cordura, cotton & polyester for the outer so are strong but soft, and have poly-cotton soft lining so are nice and warm too.

Safety stitching is standard everywhere and importantly, they have D3O knee & hip protection should the worst happen.

I actually found these came up a little small, so went for a size bigger than usual. They fit well, are really comfortable and I wish I bought some ages ago.

They’re perfect for day to day riding. I can visit customers as they’re black, and they look great on stuff I’m riding at the moment; Ducati Scrambler, Triumph Street scrambler and the like.

CE certified. £149.99

Jacket: Richa Infinity 2 Jacket

This was a big decision. I ride in all weathers and technology and materials have improved so much since I last bought a jacket.
I chose the Richa Infinity 2 Jacket.

Richa says it’s a four-season jacket and to support that claim, it comes with 2 zip outliners. One is a thermal, quilted liner and the other is a waterproof liner.

I took both out because I find the jacket is fine on its own for me. I have used the waterproof liner a couple of times, but haven’t needed the thermal liner yet. I’m sure I will though.

We’ve been fortunate enough to have had some lovely weather this year. When it’s been hot, the air vent system has been a huge benefit. You can unzip vents to let the airflow through. They are excellent, well placed and really make a difference.

It’s pretty waterproof too. It leaks after a while in continuous rain but it’s really not bad at all, and that’s what the waterproof liner is for.
It’s not a long jacket, it’s more of a hip-length jacket, kind of an in-between sports jacket and touring jacket. That really works for me and looks great.

The Infinity 2 jacket is a quality piece of clothing. Well made and comfortable, helped by the wide range of adjustability.

Armour and protection is a particularly strong point of this jacket. D30 armour sits in the shoulders, back and elbow, extending down your forearm.

As a jacket for all year use, it’s a great buy. Lots of pockets, very comfortable, great protection and it looks good too. £239.99

Brand Highlight: Pedal to the Kettle Activewear

Here at THEGAYUK, our styling team love nothing more than scouting the globe to you the latest and best products.

Whether that be grooming products, clothing or tech, we’ve got you covered. As part of our endeavour, we’ve decided to highlight one brand a month. To give you the low down and highlight some of our personal favourite products. This month is all about Aussie fitness brand Pedal to the Kettle Activewear.

The name of the brand is inspired by the term “Pedal to the Metal”. They combined this term with their love of functional training and kettlebell training, to come up with the name “Pedal to the Kettle Activewear*. Their love of fitness is at the very forefront of this brand and its creation.

Vanina and Maria’s (the founders) own personal struggles with fitness brought the brand into existence, following their move from Melbourne to Sydney. Both feeling overweight and miserable, they took to fitness to reinvigorate themselves and create a more positive outlook on life. Their brand took to representing this hard working and productive mentality, with the creation of stylish activewear with an edge. Just like Vanina and Maria.

The result, functional and stylish activewear made to the highest attention to detail and quality. With the same quality control going into their products, as the nutrition and training regimen fuelling their bodies.

There’s also a flat shipping rate of 20 AUSD for worldwide shipping, so no matter where you are. You can be part of the Pedal to the Kettle Activewear family.

Follow Pedal to the Kettle Activewear on Instagram

History:

Fairly new to the fitness scene, Pedal to the Kettle Activewear was only a registered company since April 2018. Throughout the remainder of 2018, the duo behind the brand spent endless hours refining the logo, concept and sourcing the best quality fabrics for their new brand. Then in November last year, the day finally came for the brand to launch online and since then, they’ve been going from strength to strength.

They launched the store with their Black & White collection, aptly named because who doesn’t love a bit of minimalist black & white. This collection marked the brand as a unisex fitness from the very start. As the duo said, they wanted everyone to train and feel empowered. No exceptions.

Product Range:

Following its initial collection, the brand has gone from strength to strength. Their male range now includes a variety of products from tanks to shorts and is constantly growing. Jazzi’s collection is a personal favourite of mine, bringing a hot pink into the men’s range, to represent the brand’s affiliation with breast cancer research.

Hot off the press, they are currently working on a new collection. So make sure to keep an eye out on their socials. From what they’ve said, it’s very exciting! With possible collaborations between organisations, that use fitness to help LGBTQ and mental health causes.

Ethos:

Having been in an open discussion with the duo behind Pedal to the Kettle Activewear for a few months now, the phrase “Fitness saved us, fitness saves and changes lives.” has popped up a bit. What I took from this is how much of a driving force their personal passion for fitness, is behind their brand. Constantly being supportive of my fitness challenges (coming soon), Vanina and Maria really do believe in their brand as a way of empowering their customers through fitness. Having both faced emotional challenges growing up and accepting themselves, as being part of the LGBTQ community. The duo emphasises how much fitness has enabled them to feel accepted in a community and how it has helped act as a driving force behind their personal self-acceptance of themselves.

As mentioned previously, the brand is also linked to breast cancer research through Jazzi’s collection. This collection was made in honour of the duo’s friend, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in Sep 2018. After a double mastectomy, their friend is well and truly beating cancer’s ass and from this inspirational battle, the brand now donates 2 AUD for every piece of the collection sold. So wear pink boys, it’s for a good cause!

The brand also supports LGBTQ causes, they are focusing on creating links within the LGBTQ community. To promote acceptance and raise awareness and highlight the struggles, that people face. All in all, the ethics behind this brand strike a cord with our styling team. THEGAYUK is definitely behind this!

Our Picks:

1. Terry Cotton Shorts ($45.99 AUSD)

2. Grey Tee ($39.99 AUSD)

3. P2K Black Seamless Tank ($39.99 AUSD)

What to wear to look sexy at the gym: Locker Room 101

Deciding what to put in your gym bag is not an easy task.

You want to look sexy in the gym but not too thirsty. You want to appear playful but not desperate. You want functionality but you don’t wanna be basic. Most importantly you wanna be ready for anything the gym and the locker room has in store for you. You never know, that dream about the hunky PT might come true one day. Rest assured though, THEGAYUK has you covered.

Here is Locker Room 101, your one and only guide for everything you need in your gym bag!

1. Pedal to the Kettle Activewear: Terry Cotton Shorts

Remember when we said you wanted to be functional but not basic? Pedal to the Kettle Activewear sets the bar on this. The Aussie newcomer is known throughout Oz for its high-quality fabrics and functional, yet stylish activewear. These shorts are no exception to the rule. Made out of a blend of French Terry Cotton and polyester, they are both breathable and comfortable in and out of the gym. The minimalist design is subtle enough to cross over into everyday casual wear and you can instantly feel the high quality of the fabrics, as soon as you pick them up.

They’re also the perfect length for showing off the leg day gains and the well-deserved bubble butt you’re now rocking. So they’re guaranteed to get you some attention too. Maybe even from your gym crush, if you’re lucky!

2. JJ Malibu: Baewatch Bikini: Lucky Panda

For those of you lucky enough to have a pool in your gym or maybe a cheeky hot tub, I present to you the perfect mixture of cute yet sexy swimwear. JJ Malibu has truly outdone themselves here on the cuteness factor. The panda emoji design is scattered across these slinky speedos and is guaranteed to make you the centre of attention. A sure fire way to make all men at the pool and even that cute lifeguard stand to attention. As the brand says, this lucky panda is intent on getting you lucky!

Wearing these speedos really does bring out your fun and cheeky side and they’re definitely a conversation starter. It may be the fact that the flattering cut emphasised my package and bubble butt. However, I’ll try to keep it down to the cute panda on my crotch. My ass was slapped a few times though. Either way, they’re definitely a winner in our eyes!

3. Bullseye Gear: Police Dept Navy Blue Swim Brief

Carrying on with the fun and sexy swimwear, next on our list is Bullseye Gear’s Police Dept Navy Swim Brief. The flattering cut of these swim briefs helps emphasise you in all the right places and like our panda speedos, are a definite conversation starter. With police printed across your booty, feel free to make some arrests. Just be careful of withdrawing your pistol from its holster around the pool. Maybe save that part for the locker room!

4. BOX Menswear: White Brief

Definitely not your dad’s tighty whities, these classic briefs from BOX Menswear should be a definite staple in any man’s gym bag. With a flattering cut and premium quality fabrics, these briefs are perfect for gym workouts and everyday wear. We’ll be honest they look pretty great in locker room selfies too. Not that we’ve been paying close attention to their Instagram page or anything…

5. Andrew Christian: VIBE Reaction Tank

Whenever you hear the words, Andrew Christian, you know it’s gonna be something sexy. This tank is no different. From their VIBE range of sporty but sexy activewear, this tank is both breathable, functional and sexy AF when on. Showing just the right amount of skin, the breathable fabric allows you to workout to your heart’s content, without the dreaded sweat stains. Not a cute look boo!

Trust us on this, we tested it through a HIT workout and it held its own. Making it the perfect tank to wear for the token gym selfie. Let’s face it if it isn’t on Insta, did you even workout?

Top 3 Menswear Brands for Spring 19
Here at THEGAYUK, we like to highlight to you new products each month to keep you looking and feeling your best.

With spring just around the corner though, we thought we’d take this one step further. It’s time to clear out the old, bring in the new. We’ve already shown you the best grooming brands for Spring 19 and now it’s the time to get your wardrobe to match up to your fresh-face. Here are our Top 3 Menswear Brands for Spring 19.

1. Plain Bear:

Peckham based indie brand Plain Bear has been a personal favourite of mine, since the first time I saw their stall at Greenwich Market back in 2017. Established in 2013, the brand which is iconic across London for its bold minimalistic prints has gone from strength to strength. From humble market roots in Greenwich and Spitalfields to a defined brand with a state of the art design studio in Peckham, this brand is definitely one to invest some money in. The designs are timeless and will go from season to season. For Spring 19, I would invest in some of their printed T’s and maybe a cheeky jumper. After all, the UK isn’t known for its great weather!

Check out the brand’s social media below and their website: plainbear.co.uk

Twitter: @Plainbearuk Instagram: @plainbearuk

Our Picks:
1. Phantom (£25.00)
1. Police (£25.00)
1. Badge Sweater – Navy (£35.00)
2. Centre Front Menswear:

Founded in London and supporting CALM, with 5% of all sales going to the charity. Centre Front Menswear is definitely a brand, that The Gay UK can get behind. By combining the latest trends with classic design, the brand is able to stand out amongst the crowd of season based designers. The brand’s goal is to create wardrobe staples, that although reflecting current trends aren’t going to go out of style in a few months time. This staple mentality, not only leads to the high quality of the fabrics and production methods but also gives the consumer everything they would expect from a top-end designer, for a fraction of the price. It creates a true midpoint in menswear, bridging the gap between the high-street and designer brands. Perfect for those staple pieces, that should be in every man’s wardrobe.

Check out the brand’s social media below and their website: centre-front.com

Twitter: @CentreFrontMens Instagram: @centrefrontmenswear

Our Picks:
1. Wide Leg Trousers with Pleats in Navy (£49.00)
1. Denim Jacket in Recycled Denim (£59.00)
1. Stripe Shirt with Grandad Collar (£39.00)
3. Pandora Apparel:

Unisex brand Pandora Apparel is pretty remarkable. Created out of a lack of high-quality and sustainably sourced unisex clothing available on the market, Pandora Apparel intended to fill that void and they did so in style. Founded in 2017, the brand does not “believe in gender separation or fast fashion” and wanted to impact the fashion world, without impacting the planet. All designs from Pandora Apparel are taken from digital images, that are pulled apart and re-worked into unisex clothing designs and what this does is create a unique and minimalistic look, that won’t go out of trend. Did we mention, that all their designs are limited edition? So make sure to grab them now, while you can.

Our Picks:
1. Mesmerise Baseball Cap (£24.99)
1. Mesmerise Short Sleeve Jumper (£44.99)
1. Mesmerise Dungarees (£64.99)

It’s time to reclaim the slurs Bum Bandit, Butt Pirate and Knob Jockey.

And these t-shirts might just be the visual aid you need to do it.

The T-shirt’s designer, Cedric Amoyal told THEGAYUK “The Tooshly vision is simple: disarm these bullying terms. Reverse them. Squash them flat. And do it now. And how better to do that than to flip them from tools of hate into weapons of love, laughter and compassion”

The cute characters include Butt Pirate, Turd Burglar, Bum Robber, Pooh Jabber, Knob Jockey, Muff Diver, Pussy Puncher, Ass Bandit, Bean Flicker and Pillow Biter.

8 undies we’re craving for summer 2018

Sun’s out, pants out.

It’s basically our new saying here at TGUK HQ. These are the undies we need in our life.

We love a budgie smuggler, but these undies are colour of canaries. Famous underwear brand Barcode actually offers these in seven colours, but we were drawn to these and at just £13.00 from ESMALE they’re a steal.

Sometimes all you need a simple white brief and sometimes you need something a little see through. These naughty undies from Beyond Doubt manage to achieve both. £28.99 from ESMALE.

If you’re looking for something a little cheeky – or something that shows off a little cheek then these “Steven” briefs from MARCO MARCO are the way to go. They’ve got a rather sexy cut out section on the back of the brief. £24.29 from ESMALE.

Show your pride colours and your ass with this Joe Snyder Rainbow Jockstrap. £21.00 from DeadGoodUndies

Not quite a brief and not quite a trunk these hipster undies from Doreanse are perfect for those of us who can’t quite make the decision. £11.00 from DeadGoodUndies

If you’re more a traditionalist and like the idea of the boxer then we can wholeheartedly recommend these from McAlson. They have a clever cuppage system inside the underwear, to make sure you don’t run the risk of freeballin’. €35.00 from McAlson directly.

M31001TQ

If you want to know where *everything* is at all times these trunk style undies from Superdry are the way to go. You can get a multipack of two for £24.99.

For pure quality, we always go for Crew Clothing and this two-pack of stripped trunk boxers are just the ticket. Just £20.00 for two pairs.

6 undies you need buy your boyfriend (or you) this Christmas

“Oooo! Pants. In my Christmas stocking yippeee”. Said no man anywhere. Or will he? Check out Dan Coleborn’s top 6 choices to stick in your man’s stocking this Christmas.

For The Sporty Guy

Understandably sport underwear comes in many different shapes and styles, so unless you know exactly what he’s after I’d play it fairly safe with this one. Going for something along the lines of the Nike Pro Hypercool 6” Shorts is a sure fire way to please any guy who’s more likely to be found enjoying himself on a field rather than in front of the TV this Christmas. Created from Dri-Fit Max fabric and with a compression fit for a “locked in feel” it’s going to be difficult getting it wrong with these babies. Your main struggle might just be picking the colour.

Get Them Here.

For The Guy With Thighs

There’s no shortage of Gays with phenomenal thighs out there – you know the kind I’m talking about, the ones that look like the Jaws of Life that could end you, or save you, in a second. The issue with thighs of thunder is that quite often a little irritable chafing can be the price that one pays for having them. So, if your guy has the thighs of a Welsh rugby player opt for the likes of Under Armour’s Men’s UA Original Series 23cm Boxerjock. Not only will they make his thighs look like there coated in molten chrome, the added length will also help to combat any risk of chaffing.

Get Them Here.

For The Show Off Guy

Some guys just like to take what they’ve got and give it a little boost in the bedroom. For this kind of show off go for AussieBum’s EnlargeIT Sport trunks. With their own EnlargeIT Tech built in this is sure to help any show off really catch the attention of anyone else in the room – be it the bedroom, or the locker-room.

Get Them Here.

For The Loveable Guy With Handles To Match

Despite what the media might inform us, not every Gay has rippling abs and 4% body fat. If your guy has a little extra cuddle to him go for a more classic style of underwear, helping to limit discomfort and eradicate the muffin-top. Calvin Klein’s CK One Boxers do the job perfectly without returning to the style of your Dad’s underwear entirely.

Get Them Here.

For The Commando Guy

If your man happens to prefer the feeling of less rather than more, then Andrew Christian’s Almost Naked Tagless Cotton Boxer might be the only way to go. With a pouch that “virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing” he might even come to prefer wearing these to wearing nothing at all. Or, you know, you could always just keep it bare and not buy him anything at all – just mull it over.

Get Them Here.

For The Playful Guy

If you’re looking for a slightly more suggestive design for a guy who doesn’t mind putting on a bit of a show, go for a classic PUMP! Jock. It’s all business in the front, with a little party in the back, just as you’d expect from any jockstrap and is definitely a little more sexy than a pair of Christmas socks.
