I wish I could tally up all the people I’ve slept with, but the fact is I can’t. Or, putting it better: the task is nearly impossible. To hazard a guess, I’d say the number sits between 100–200. But in all honesty, it could be more.

Put simply: I’ve lost count of my sex count.

Of course, it’s not something I’d happily gloat about. Sure, some people (men) are prone to high-fiving each other over such an impressive list. Hell, even I have to admit that I climaxed with most of them, while some were good enough for more rounds…

It’s amazing how water, with the simple construct of hydrogen and oxygen, is the elixir of life. One of its primary roles is to flush out our kidneys of the waste it creates. Water also helps keep our minds sharp; without enough of it, we feel drained — both literally and figuratively. And while we all know this, there always comes a time when we seemingly forget. Even I have to remind myself that perhaps all I need is just a glass of water.

One of my recent challenges is reducing stress, and this is hard when the cause of…

When you live in a country that has flipped between hard lockdowns and freedom, it’s quite easy to get sentimental. Possibly angry, too. Currently, I’m in lockdown in Sydney, Australia due to a virulent strain of Covid-19 — which truly sucks considering we were going so well. We could dance in nightclubs, dine in at restaurants, and have sex with irregular partners. But here we are again, in lockdown with little to do.

Of course, even when things were open, we weren’t truly free. Some things were still on hold for many of us. And still are. Things we want…

Most of us experience sexual fluidity at least once in our lives. For some, it lasts years; for others, it’s a temporal moment of confusion. And all are exacerbated by societal norms. Yes, even I fell for the idea that being straight is normal. But nothing really is normal. It’s just accepted.

Unfortunately, the ongoing idea that you can’t choose who you’re attracted to is muddying the waters of sexual identity. And no, that doesn’t mean it’s false; it just means that it’s restrictive. Because, for most of us, sexuality is not a binary option. And even if we choose…

I don’t know how long I have been in lockdown for now, and there’s no glimmering hope on the horizon as I type this. For so long, Australia’s response to Covid-19 had been the envy of the world. Sure, we had bumps along the way, but we proved that lockdowns are an effective strategy in mitigating outbreaks.

Until now, that is.

A virulent strain of Covid-19 is impacting the local communities of Sydney and Melbourne, Australia’s two largest cities, and it seems our only hope is to get 70–85% of our citizens fully vaccinated. …

To be blunt, I class myself as a male. But, in certain circumstances, I can embody the female form. And when I’m in that form, I prefer to be referred to as a lady. I can do this because I have characterised myself into the opposite gender. And this should help explain the various genders that are out there — including nonbinary.

You see, when I’m in drag, nobody sees my penis. And why do they need to? My drag is a mimicry of the female construct — a construct that has been accepted in most societies. The idealistic woman…

Before trans women transition, it’s fair to say that they exhibited male characteristics. They likely didn’t identify as male then, but they had the generic male working parts. So, the question is, at what point do they stop being men on a biological level?

Despite the fact that it’s not really anybody’s business to know, trans rights are going to continually be judged if we don’t answer this question. And yes, despite unpopular opinion, trans women eventually stop being men on a biological level.

To answer this question, we must return to that notoriously awkward moment in our high school…

Did you hear about the latest trend? Apparently it’s considered high fashion to establish your own collective identity. Indeed, I’m not talking about all the little things that make us unique, but all the supposedly pertinent identities that separate us into groups. Most prominently around gender, sex and sexuality. To use an example, I would be considered a cisgender gay man. But what does that tell you?

The answer is ‘not much’ if you really think about it. Especially if you don’t want to sleep with me. And yet, thanks to this new wave of activism around the globe, we…
