The Young Lovers' Guide to bring you some tip-top advice about sexual health and gay sex. When it comes to gay sex alot of things are left out of the classroom and forgotten about at University. Here these things are all-important.
Once you've found out there are gay people out there, and plenty of them at that, you might well wonder: what do they actually do? What is gay sex?
In a nutshell, it's any sort of sexual activity between two members of the same sex. Obviously, this can be unconventional: the combinations are not quite the same. Instead of a penis and vagina, there are two penises or two vaginas. Well, reproduction is not going to happen, but there are plenty of things gay people can do together to express their love and feel pleasure.
You're probably not the only gay in the village. It seems to be the case that around one in twenty to thirty people are gay. That doesn't mean you're going to fancy the boy in 9E just because he's gay too, but it can be nice to know he's there!
Finding other gay people can depend on where you live. If you're in rural parts, it's not impossible, but can be harder to find other like-minded individuals. This is partly because the pressure not to reveal non-straight sexuality tends to be greater. It's also because there are fewer people around.
Homophobia is any form of physical, verbal or mental and emotional abuse targeted at homosexuals because of their sexuality.
People do it for a number of reasons - because of personal fear - the fear of being different - a lack of imagination, and to make themselves feel more secure in their own skins and sexuality.
In an ideal world, coming out would be a thing of the past. There'd be no coming out issue to get through. As we developed our sexual identities through adolescence our peers and mentors would be absolutely open to whether we were gay or bi or straight - or however we might choose or refuse to label. Meanwhile, for many or most, coming out is the biggest challenges so far faced.
In childhood, the term 'gay' is thrown around as a general insult - if something isn't cool, for example. Most of the time it doesn't mean you're homosexual, but it does show how as young innocents people try to be as 'normal' as possible. It doesn't mean you're gay if a few people are calling you that at school.
