  • Top 5 Unintentionally Gay Horror Movies

    Hollywood is still learning about inclusivity. Movies with real and relatable LGBT characters can be counted with one hand. But it doesn’t mean there hasn’t been plenty of homoeroticism in movies, especially in the horror film industry.

    The following movies have not included any actual gay characters, but nonetheless have ended up creating some of the film industry’s most gay movies. Most of the homoerotic subtext gives a rather fun finish for the films.

    So, if you are about to invest your hard earned pennies in some entertainment for the weekend, and you have been searching around sites akin to VoucherBin.co.uk, to get the very best deals and coupons, we’ve got five movies that you may want to add to your entertainment list and are not going to break the bank. So, if you are in need of a spooky, yet brilliantly camp, way to spend your afternoon this winter, check out these below films.

     

    Jeepers Creepers II (2003)

    First mention must go to Jeepers Creepers II. It features a monster that has an affliction to eat half-naked teenage boys. Not as an occasional treat, but he seems to be skipping other type of human altogether.

    Much of the movie sees the young guys taking every opportunity to take of their shirt and singing songs about fighting cocks. All of this happens, while they loudly accuse each other of being gay.

    In truth, this film has a rather sinister and dark feel to it. While the homoerotic horror seems relatively unintentional, the tantalising of younger boys seems creepy. Even more so, when you remember Victor Silva (director/writer) was convicted of having sex with an underage boy in 1988.

     

    Fright Night (1985)

    This movie is not entirely a horror movie, as it falls under the category of horror-comedy intentionally. Nevertheless, there’s gayer subtext in the movie than a season of Sherlock.

    In fact, not all of it is purely subtext since the main vampire character is undercover in the movie with a hunky boyfriend by his side. He then develops a fixation with the teenage neighbour and seduces another young boy.

    Not to mention the movie features a ton of Hollywood’s future LGBT powers, such as Amanda Bearse and gay porn star Stephen Geoffreys.

     

     

    The Forsaken (2001)

    We’re not sure if this movie can even pass as unintentionally gay, since one of the lead actors has been quizzed about the homoeroticism in the movie. Yet, he’s denied a gay plot line, so we just have to take his word.

    The movie sees a young man, Sean, becoming friends with a vampire, Nick. The two end up riding across the US, while a naked woman appears (and no one bats an eyelid) and spend a lot of time staring each other in the eyes.

     

    American Psycho (2000)

    There is definitely something extremely homoerotic in the narcissism of Christian Bale’s character. He looks at himself in the mirror while having sex with his female victims and even winks at himself in a very disturbing fashion.

    Furthermore, while this blood-crazed lunatic seems to kill everyone who gets in his way, there’s one person who gets to slip away. Yes, a gay character doesn’t get the chop, with the scenes having a certain level of erotic danger in them.

     

    A Nightmare on Elm Street II: Freddy’s Revenge (1985)

    Do we even need to explain this classic movie? Well, in case you haven’t seen it, the movie is all about Freddie Kruger trying to get inside another man’s body. See? Pretty obvious if you ask us.

    In addition, the other main character, Jesse, spends much of this movie shirtless (and without pants) breathing heavily after intense nightmares covered in sweat. Finally, we have to mention that at one point, giant balls attack while Jesse showers naked. Yes – giant balls. Draw your own conclusions!

    We really couldn’t possibly make this up.

    Do you have a favourite unintentionally gay horror movie? Let us know!

  • 8 Reasons To Test For HIV

    As National HIV Testing week draws close, the reasons to test for HIV have never been clearer.

    Sponsored by

    biosure

     

     

     

     

    HIV is 3 letters, not a sentence. Especially for those who are able to treat the virus, and early detection means better results and a longer, healthier life. Here are eight reasons to test for HIV.

    1) Be In The Know. According to Public Health England there are 103,700 people in the UK living with HIV. Over 18,000 of them don’t know they have it – and could be spreading the virus even further. There are an estimated 6,500 gay or bisexual men who don’t know that they are living with HIV.

    2) Early Bird. Early detection means better results from the treatment for HIV, resulting in a longer, healthier life.

    3) You’re Not Alone. If you’re afraid that you might not cope with a HIV diagnosis, there are loads and loads of support groups, charities and healthcare professionals to help you. All you have to do is ask for help. You won’t have to face HIV alone.

    4) Stigma Exists. One of the most difficult things many people living with HIV find is the stigma that still exists around the status. Medicine has come a long way; society has yet to follow on as quickly. Getting tested often means that you could be more mindful about your health.

    5) Knowledge Is Power. Sleeping with someone who knows that they are HIV positive could be safer than having sex with someone who doesn’t know their status and may take more risks.

    6) Restart The Clock. Without being glib, many people who have learnt that they are HIV positive have talked about feeling the opportunity to restart the clock. Changes to lifestyle and diet become a priority and general interest in your health can only be a good thing.

    7) Engaged With Your Sex. Getting tested means you’re taking responsibility for your general health and your sexual health – good for you and great for the people you sleep with.

    8) No Longer Need To Go The Clinic. You can now get a self-test kit that can be performed wherever and whenever is convenient for you. Best of all with the BioSure kit you only need half a drop of blood and not a vial full that some other kits require. Testing yourself just takes seconds with easy to read results in only 15 minutes, without you having to send them off to a lab. No waiting in the sexual health clinic. No waiting a week for results to be texted to you.

  • 12 Mistakes Gay Guys Make On Dating Profiles

    Not getting the responses you want from your dating profile perhaps there’s something you’re doing wrong.We asked our readers what where the most common mistakes they found on guy’s profiles on dating sites and hook up apps.

    Sponsored by:

    AllMale

    1) Too Much, Too Soon.

    Nothing says, “I’m serious about dating and maybe actually finding love online” than a picture of you, a sling and four of your most intimate friends using a power tool you could dig up pavements with. A bit of showmanship never hurt anyone, but laying it all out like it’s on a butcher’s block doesn’t scream “I’m all about the exclusivity” does it?

    2) No Fats, Femmes Or Rice.

    I mean just who do you think you are? Say what you like in a man, not what you don’t. Start the conversation positive rather than flood your online space with negativity. Plus don’t be a racist, fatist, internalised homophobic douche.

    3) The Game Stops Here.

    Don’t play endless games, it’s no longer the 90s. Throw away the dating self-help books that tell you, a) not to call after 6pm, b) not to accept dates the day before, and c) to only ever show him the bedroom after the wedding day. Not only is it a massive waste of your time but let’s be honest it’s time when you could actually be jumping each other’s bones. Playing games is manipulative and no one is looking for a nasty lover, unless of course you’re Janet Jackson.

    4) Be Yourself.

    Honesty is the best policy. Shane Greene from dating site AllMale says, “Do not try to be something you’re not, just be yourself. The possibility of finding a match online leads some men to detach from what makes them who they are offline. Many men new to online dating “beef up” their profiles with details that aren’t true hoping to somehow be better than they already are naturally.”

    This may seem like a cool idea but these men quickly realise they will be attracting men who are interested in their online persona and not who they really are. You want someone who is interested in what you actually are. That requires you to be honest and accurate about yourself from the very start.”

    5) I just can’t deal…

    No one likes a killjoy – stop complaining that you can’t find at date / don’t earn enough / what a douche your ex is / even your cat hates you. A dating profile is an advert. It’s about selling yourself as someone who is a stable, coherent, fun-to-be- around, loveable guy. Be smart, funny and tell us the good things about you.

    6) Spellcheck.

    Dear god, does a little spell check hort? If you can’t get the little details right what on earth are you going to be like at the other stuff?

    7) Are we dating you or her?

    We don’t care if you and your bessie had a crazy night in Blackpool. Take a picture with just you. After all we’re not going on a date with her as well – and if we are, we might need to revaluate this whole thing.

    8) Torso To Be Or Torso Not To Be.

    If you can’t show your face but you can show your torso/cock/butt then we have to consider your priorities. If you’re looking for love then show your face, your eyes and your smile.

    9) Hi-di-Hi!

    Grindr hi hi hi
    Come on, be original. First words count so don’t waste them with a “hi” or “hey”. Try adding some vocab, you know, like words. Not sure what to write? Try something like, “hi, nice profile pic – where was it taken?” Or, “Hey, I like your T shirt, where did you get it from?” – get the conversation flowing with open questions, those questions that lead to a conversation, questions that can’t be answered with a “yes” or a simple “no”.

    10 )Don’t Fall In Love After Two Days Of Messages.

    We’ve all done it, fallen hard for someone we’ve only just met 2 days ago online but have both shared a sunset, sunrise and Lorraine on ITV. Spending hours on hours getting to know someone online is okay, but the magic happens in the real world. As Cher said, it’ll be in his kiss – not his keyboard.

    11) Top To Bottom.

    Spell it out; you’ve got to make sure you’re compatible with your sexual preferences. If you’re a top – say so, if you’re a power bottom 2.0 then say so. Nothing worse than spending lots of time chatting to someone only to find that you both point north – of course, if you’re both not into penetration then this is cool – but the likelihood is that sex and sexual roles will play a massive part in any future relationship.

    12) Don’t Over Share.

    Be careful what info you put on your dating profiles and what you tell people before you really get to know them. Personal data, such as home address, bank sort codes and your mother’s maiden name aren’t things you should be sharing with anyone. An online date is just like your bank, they should never ask for your password.

  • Is Penis Enlargement The New Nose Job?

    Is penis enlargement the new nose job?

    Sponsored by

    There’s been a lot of talk about Penis size recently and with the revelation that the average size is smaller than you might think, men are still clamouring for that extra inch.

    WORRIED: Many men are concerned with the size of their manhood. Our survey found over a third were worried about length or girth.
    According to a new survey the average erect penis is 5.16 inches, not the six to seven inches that was usually suspected average. A collective sigh of relief was heard from men all over the world, but that revelation hasn’t deterred men from all over the country making enquiries about penis enlargement.

    In a survey, under taken by TheGayUK, it seems as though us Brits are still troubled by willy worry as we found that over a third of men were unhappy with their penis in someway or another. The poll also found that thirty-four percent were concerned about their length and 29% were worried about girth issues, while one in ten of us has considered picking up the phone and calling a surgeon.

    WHAT’S DOWN THERE: Despite the average length revealed as 5.16inches, some men have taken to surgery to gain up to an extra inch.

    One clinic, the Moorgate Aesthetics clinic on London’s medical mecca Harley Street, has found that enquiries for enlargement surgeries are on the up and are more sought after now than the common nose job, but just what does the nob job actually entail? How much more can you realistically expect to grow from such procedures?

    According to Moorgate Aesthetics the average lengthening is around one inch, this is achieved by the cutting of the suspensory ligament. A relatively straightforward surgery and girth can be improved substantially by transferring fat from other areas on your body to your penis. However because fat is a natural substance, it may need a top in the future. However, there is a little downside to the surgery and that is no sex for at least 6 weeks after the procedure, a small sacrifice though for a large improvement!

     

    HAPPY PETE: Many men who have undertaken the surgery are happy with the result – and with a downtime of just 6 weeks, men can gain an extra inch in length – or even more with their girth.

    So just why are we so concerned about the length of our penis? Some suspect it could be the influx of well endowed porn stars or the increase of “monster c**k” porn available on streaming services, making us jealous. A spokesperson from Moorgate Aesthetics said, “One of the reasons for their belief that their penis is too small stems from derogatory comments made by sexual partners – comments that are often simply throw-away ones, but that stick in the memory for years to come. For others, it’s a realisation that their penis didn’t grow as it should have done in their formative years.

    Many others feel that the size of their penis has prevented them from starting sexual relationships, and now yearn for the chance to develop a lasting and fulfilling sexual relationship with a partner.”

  • Former ASOS Executive Set To Revolutionise Menswear

    Former ASOS Executive Set To Revolutionise Menswear

    Sponsored by The Idle Man

     

     

     

    The Idle Man is a new online shopping destination for the twenty-something fashion-savvy man. Tired of the usual offering available on the highstreet and internet stores that sells anything to anyone, The Idle Man founder and ex-head of menswear at ASOS, Oliver Tezcan, set out to create a credible alternative.

    Tezcan says: ‘Men are always an after thought in fashion. Men’s ranges are hidden in the basement or plonked on three shelves on the top floor

    ‘Even online men have not been well catered for. Over the years I had a nagging feeling that the average guy could be serviced better – and that’s what The Idle Man will do.’

    Men are more interested than ever in fashion. The growth potential is huge for whoever can create a retail experience that meets their needs. That has never really been done before – but the mission of The Idle Man is to change that.

    Understanding the mindset of the male shopper is key: ‘Men, just like women, want to look good,’ Tezcan adds. ‘But that doesn’t mean they shop in the same way. Men are more interested in getting the clothes they want, than trying on everything in the shop.’

    With this in mind, the site is designed so that customers can find exactly the look they want with the minimum of fuss: ‘The Idle Man is designed to show men a great look at any price point. Our customers can be confident that they look cool, without having to research the latest from London Fashion Week.’

    Brands at The Idle Man
    Buyers at The Idle Man have carefully selected clothing, shoes and accessories from a range of respected menswear brands, supplying Religion, Supremebeing, Mipac, Rains and Farah Vintage to name a few.

    For the Autumn/Winter 2014 season, they will also see brands such as Levi’s, Converse, Vans, Herschel, Cheap Monday and Eastpak joining The Idle Man range, as well as the arrival of The Idle Man own-label, which will include core pieces for everyman’s wardrobe.

  • GiFi Releases Disruptive Launch Video

    GiFi, the increasingly popular app billed as “the next generation social app that aims to change forever the way gay men chat, network and meetup” has released its launch video.

    Sponsored by

     

     

     

    Much like the brand that ‘Dares to be Different’ the video does exactly that. Kristian Tangen-Sorgendal, GiFi Community Manager says “in both a brand and fashion conscious community, it was both fun and exciting to bring an entirely new social app video concept to the table”.

    Kristian continues, “the inspiration came from the ZARA AW13 campaign; the concept of the video was so clear and emphasised what the GiFi brand is; to bring the community together through a social app that does not hold predominant values on engaging users for hookup only”.

    The GiFi video holds an air of class about it. The simple storyline follows a group of four nusers around in the daily use of the GiFI app, that penultimately sees the guys engaging in a group chat together before meeting at a bar for drinks: this perfectly epitomises the GiFi brand image and aims.

    For all who are unaware, GiFi has just launched, offering a brand new take on how guys meet!

    GiFi is launching firstly in the UK market, as the GiFi team want to work closely with their home community to make it great for everyone. GiFi are currently working with some amazing groups and people within the community and look forward to bringing further functionality and community engagement as they progress.

    GiFi has numerous functions and can be used to build a support network, find new friends, stay in touch with existing friends and look for a job. Of course, it can also be used to arrange a date or hookup.

    GiFi users are able to browse the 500 nearest guys – to a location of their choice – who match their interests, preferences and current mood. Oneonone chat and group messaging functions are both available.

    GiFi is all about disrupting the status quo. Rather than focussing on one need other apps in the community offer, GiFi focuses on the bigger picture. GiFi gives users the opportunity to meet other members with shared interests, whether this be a mutual mood to meet for coffee, drinks, networking and so much more.

    Furthermore, GiFi’s various profile view options spread further than the typical grid view seen in so many other apps, GiFi also offers carousel view for members to find people who they find hot or not, a map view (set to 0.2 km safety zone as standard) to see nearby members as well as a viewed by and who’s viewed me option to encourage communication between GiFi users.

    The GiFi aim is to work with the community as a whole, as there is such a need for the functionality and options the GiFi app provides. Businesses and charities can use GiFi as a further platform to reach their members, and GiFi will reinvest profits back into the community through platform development and also their charity partner the London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard.

    Businesses, groups and charities will be able to communicate effortlessly to members of their setup groups and places to send updates via broadcasts and notifications to inform the larger community on what is going on as well as their products and services.
