Sex with other men can feel intimidating whether you’re just starting out or have been at it for a while, but haven’t had the best experiences.

We know, because we’ve been there ourselves. The flood of information out there can be overwhelming, and what we learned in school probably didn’t cover it all. That’s why we’ve put together these resources to help guide you. Written by community members for the community, we aim to make this journey as smooth and supportive as possible.

Dive into these modules however you like—start at the beginning or jump to what interests you most. Our goal is to help you feel confident and ready to enjoy yourself.

Remember, these are personal experiences and insights. Yours might be different, and for official education, look to additional resources.

We created this resource because we know that 85% of gay and bi guys did not get the information they need from their sex education, and 59% learn most of what they know about sex from porn (and porn is wildly different from reality).

Disclaimer: When we use terms like ‘boys’ or ‘guys,’ we’re referring broadly to any people for whom those terms resonate, or for people who may be interested or are already having sex with gay or bi guys. This includes our trans, non-binary, intersex, and takatāpui friends. Additionally, we’ve not yet covered penetrative vaginal/front-hole sex, keep your eyes peeled for more content coming.
