Sticky dancefloors, sweaty bars, and choosing songs for your own funeral (with David Paisley)
This week we are talking to David Paisley, a Scottish actor established for roles in soap operas Holby City, and River City.
He is also a tireless LGBTQ campaigner, recently being acknowledged with an Attitude Pride Award for his campaigning against the trans-exclusionary agenda of the LGB Alliance.
He first moved to London when he got the role as midwife Ben Saunders in Holby City, and hated it. It wasnt until the second time around that the citys charms started to show themselves, and he had amusement exploring the sticky dancefloors and sweaty bars of Soho.
We originally caught up to talk about Ghetto, that beloved icon of the mids queer scene, but, as is usual on this show, went on the scenic way, which took in other clubs such as Popstarz and Trash Palace, and some entirely unrelated conversations about funeral songs, Spice Girls, and the anxiety of controlling the playlist at a house party.
Make sure to follow David on Twitter to maintain up with his goings on.&n
What I Wouldve Told My Teenage Self About Dating website and Relationships
When I was experiencing so much internal turmoil in middle school, the realm of region music became a place of salvation for me. After a long time at school, I could turn on the radio to either KSCS, or The Texas Twister, and listen to aching voices singing about their endless woes. These introspective tunes resonated as deeply personal to me: I finally found music that communicated the sadness that filled my soul. One of these songs that fascinated me was Brad Paisley’s “Letter to Me”, a song about what he would utter if he was capable of writing a letter to his year-old self.
This anthem reminded me that there was a life beyond my days as a teenager in general school. “You’ve got so much up ahead,” Paisley crooned to his teenage self, “Have no fear, these are nowhere near the best years of your life.” Those words were incredibly reassuring to me and have lasted with me prolonged after I left being 17 years old in the rearview mirror. They’ve proven so enduringly resonant that I’ve often thought as an adult w

Bigger is always better – and nine other sex myths busted
Sex = penetration
Asked to define sex, most people will say it means penetration and anything else is just “foreplay”, explains Kate Moyle, a psychosexual and relationship therapist, and author of The Science of Sex. “This pedestals intercourse as ‘real sex’ and other sexual acts as something done before penetration rather than as deserving credit in their own right,” she says.
Lesbian, bisexual and lgbtq+ people tend to hold a broader definition. Sex education historically revolved around reproduction (therefore penetration), which is just one of hundreds of reasons people have sex.
If you reflect of penetration as the sex you “should” be having, you might be missing out on the sex you genuinely appreciate. Whether you’re in a penetration rut or care for to have sex the same way, challenge your idea of what intercourse means: “Whenever you possess sex, change one compact thing – lights on/off, starting with your clothes on/off, a different position, or agreeing not to have penetrative sex,” Moyle suggests. “Novelty can be a real boos
