    Are there any gay saunas in Swansea?

    With Pride happening in Swansea soon, we look to see if there are any gay saunas or hook up clubs in the Welsh city of Swansea.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t seem as though there are any gay saunas in Swansea. The nearest is the Eagle 50 which is located some 41 miles away in Cardiff or the Greenhouse Gay sauna in Newport which is 50 miles away from Swansea.

    So if you’re looking for a hook up you could join a gay chat app like Grindr, Scruff or Growlr or why not join THEGAYUK’s free Swansea meet group.

  • 52 guys got completely starkers to raise money for testicular cancer in this calendar

    Praise be!

    The Naked Rugby Players calendar is here and it contains 52 nekkid mens!

    Six LGBT rugby clubs around Britain got starkers earlier this year to raise awareness for both inclusive rugby and the importance for guys to check their tackle for lumps and bumps, in partnership with the Balls To Cancer charity.

    From Edinburgh to London, Swansea to Manchester, Northampton to Newcastle, the teams braved the cold, the driving rain (and the rare occasion of sunshine) to bare all on the pitch, locker rooms and showers. Money raised from the sales of calendars help support the clubs involved and the Balls To Cancer charity.

    Photographer Monty McKinnen said,
    “Turning up to each club was a challenge as we didn’t know who the players would be, or how comfortable they’d be when we asked them to strip and get up close to pose with each other. It turned out in the end they didn’t need much encouragement to derobe. In fact at one club we turned around to find them all stood there naked on the pitch before I’d even got the camera out!

    “I have so much admiration for these guys who bared all for charity. 200,000 men are diagnosed with cancer every year. 80,000 of those will die from their cancer. It’s time we got to grips and get a hand on the situation. I hope this calendar empowers guys to check their packages more often and to feel comfortable talking about male cancers.”

    One in two men will suffer cancer in the UK during their lifetimes. Cancers which are detected early, such as testicular cancer, are beatable – but only if the message gets through that men should check their equipment regularly, which is why the Calendar features a cheeky monthly reminder.

    In total 52 guys of all shapes and sizes got completely naked for the calendar, which the organisers hope will bring much needed attention to testicular cancer and the importance of LGBT+ inclusive sports in the UK.

    The calendar is available to purchase directly from the Naked Rugby Players’ website or from Amazon
