He feels as if he is a Kten Can Learn New Tricks ~Gay Love Story~Innocent has the body of a 16 year old but t years he is only at the age of 3. As someone who was once a teenage girl trapped the body of a teenage boy readg gay slash fan fictn about Harry Potter and Dra Malfoy havg an illic renzvo the Astronomy Tower as Evancence played softly om the speakers of my E-mache, I know a thg or two about fanfictn.

But while gay male eroti abounds fanfictn -- and while some of is tly excellent -- there is an issue I n't get past: most of the works are wrten by self-profsed teenage girls (and a surprisg amount of adult queer women), girls who have not and will never (probably, unls HRT is their future) have gay male sex, girls who don't unrstand how gay male sex -- or any sex at all -- actually works the real world. There is of urse nothg wrong wh beg asexual, wh beg a virg, wh beg a woman who enjoys readg and wrg about gay sex -- but don't always make for pellg and realistic matter how much porn you nsume, there is only so much knowledge you n acce about gay sex whout actually havg .

In the world of gay fanfictn, there is always a lot of lube and a lot of gettg the other partner ready for sex. Sure, real life people prepare their partners for sex (pecially if the perative partner is pecially well endowed), but gay men who are havg regular anal sex don't need paragraphs of lovg "prep.

As someone who has fallen so love wh fictnal characters that their existg narrative simply isn't enough for me, I pletely unrstand the imperative to let them live lns of other liv, havg as much gay sex as possible. But maybe that gay sex uld be jt a tad more realistic -- spensn of disbelief only go so far, ladi.

Kev Maxen has bee the first male ach a US men’s profsnal sports league to e out as gay. Per Outsports, as of September 2022, there have only ever been 16 players NFL history to publicly e out as gay or bisexual.

In a sea of nned cktails, Gay Water wants to stand out.

In other words, where Bud Light has buckled unr prsure as bigotry grows agast the LGBTQ+ muny, Gay Water’s creator Spencer Hodson wants his new boozy brand to be the anthis of that. “The key issue that Bud Light tapped to was the fact that they didn’t unrstand their re dience and know enough about them,” Hodson, a gay man, told CNN about the ntroversy that began when the Anhser-Bch beer brand sent fluencer Dylan Mulvaney a n of beer.

Gay Water, however, is out and proud. The nned cktail is named after a lloquialism given to the popular mixed drk (vodka and soda) orred at bars by the gay muny. “Puttg a product wh the word gay the tle is reprentatn self,” which he hop reclaims the word om the negativy ’s sometim associated wh.

He thought of creatg Gay Water about a year ago while on a vatn wh his iend that had got a job wh the beverage dtry. The two chatted about the limed amount of gay people wh , and wh Hodson burnt out om his tradnal day job tech, started the nned cktail. Hodson built up a strong social media followg on TikTok and Instagram durg Covid-19 and is g some of the money om that (as well as om iends and fay) to help fund Gay Water.

“Gay is an umbrella term and the ia behd the brand is to be as clive as possible, which means we want alli, we want straight people to be part of this muny we’re buildg.”. For now, Gay Water is sold largely onle (wh a few retailers) and four sugar-ee flavors — watermelon, lime, peach and grapeu — at lnch. Gay Water might not have the ep pockets pared to s petors, like Whe Claw, but “even at small sle, pani of many siz are havg succs makg spir-based seltzers and premixed cktails,” Bryan Roth, an analyst for Feel Goods Company and edor of the alhol beverage newsletter, Sightl+, told CNN.
