Sex-Dolls – So Much Better Than Making Love To A Dalek
There comes a time where, sharing your bed with the person you love, a cup of cocoa on the bedside table and Descartes’ “Passion of the Souls” in your hands, is just so much better that even the most expensive sex-dolls. When I arrived, I was met by a large dildo resting on a […]

Ann Widdecombe – Science May Cure Being Homosexual But Brexit Won’t Cure Being British
Ann Widdecombe’s rant at the European parliament was just about par for the course for someone so openly patronising and who firmly believes that science has the cure for homosexuality.

Film Review: “Carmen And Lola” – Coming Out As Gay In Repressive Romani Culture
It’s a familiar theme relating the attitude that we have as a society, and men in particular, concerning women. It’s a theme that revolves around well-known clichés, but that we will never get tired of seeing. We must certainly never get tired of facing the truth about what it is to be a woman. We […]
