I have to be careful what I say... But it's hard. Impromptu confession can be as irresistable as sex.from Andrea Lee's Interesting WomenIn Praise of Lying Back and Taking It
Blogging’s a bit like singing. You don’t always feel like breaking out into song. It’s hard to blog when you don’t feel like singing, and I haven’t had much cause to sing lately. I say “much” because there has been some. Some things shift, and when some things shift, everything shifts and you have to … Read more

A really beautiful and considered and generous review by Tim Bennett-Goodman in Polari Magazine. Read the full review .
Review of Confessions on Advocate.com
Diane Anderson-Minshell wrote in her column on Advocate.com: The old cliché that good things come in small packages certainly apply to Michael Wynne’s tiny tome, a breezy but thoughtful collection of stories that read more like diary entries of the authors sexual exploits across London. Indeed, these are wonderfully frank and self- effacing fuck stories, … Read more
Copulating With Our Kind, or: This Is Not About Difference
“I thought you might be German,” I say. “I’m South African,” he says, in a tone that implied that he’d clocked that I was. Oh,” I say, because it’s always nice to have something in common with a man we’re having sex with, and we think – like knowing someone’s star-sign – that we know … Read more
Three Men, One Day
1. The Italian Guy, Tate Modern, 11:00 The boy is a faggot, a nothing. He’s bored and small and humiliated by his non-job, this sitting here and handing out tickets to strangers, tourists in the city he thought he was coming to to have a better life in, to fall in love in, to be … Read more
Men in the Showers
A few months ago I bought a secret camera with the intention of taking pictures* in saunas and sex clubs and then posting them on this blog. The camera is imbedded in a pen. I’ve tried it out at home. It works well. Y0u can shoot pictures, audio, and video. It’s the kind of thing … Read more
A Big Thick Penis is Nice to Find
At times like this I wish I had the theoretical language, an academic way of articulating things that would add gravitas, complexity, a kind of kinkiness and sagacity to a discussion about this clip of a young man with a big fat dick being filmed by a group – how many? three? four? – of … Read more
All We Want: Neighbours to the Rescue
We don’t always like ourselves. We don’t always feel good about who we are. We don’t always wake up in the morning and think: Nice. We don’t always look forward to the day. There are times when we would rather not have any more days. Or nights. We are not always fans of existing. We … Read more
He Wants to Know What Love Is
The last time I had sex with The German Guy the conversation went a little something like this: “I don’t think I’ve ever been in love” he says. “How do you know if you’re in love.” We’re lying in bed after sex, after good sex – we always have good sex, which mainly involves me … Read more
Animal Instincts: Men and Their Urges
When a beautiful man slips through your fingers there’s not much you can do. You might never see him again. In cities like London you are always losing people. Yesterday at the sauna I lost two. (Somewhere in my head is the Oscar Wilde line about the misfortune of losing one parent, but two!? he … Read more
