LawsonI have one rule when it comes to my sex life: I only hook up with guys who identify as straight. It’s a tried and tested way of avoiding the cling factor, which I’ve found to be a huge problem in the past. A one-night stand with a curious ‘straight’ guy is the perfect situation: no strings, no mess, no dodging unwanted texts and phone calls.Is it the most healthy way to handle my commitment issues? Probably not, but it’s what I’ve got right now.

NateDue to unfortunate happenstance, my precious phone is currently on its way to Ireland in the not-so-safe hands of Callum Foley—my sister's boyfriend's cousin. I've only met the guy once and my impression was unsettling at best, so the thought of him accessing my phone with all its private contents fills me with nothing but dread.But I have Callum's phone with me, so when he starts teasing me about some of my apps I figure it's fair game to dive into its...

JamieIt’s not exactly what I’d call the ideal situation—being introduced to your bio-dad’s best mate only to realize he’s the sexy older guy you hooked up with a couple of weeks ago—but it’s also not the worst thing to ever happen in history. The way I see it, this is fate. The universe is throwing Shay Kelly in my path again because it knows how much I’ve been dying for another shag with him.I have four weeks before I need to go back to London, an...

WadeHere are some things I wish someone would have told me a few months ago:Putting together an Ikea desk does not make someone qualified to help with home renovationsIt’s impossible to un-teach a five-year-old the word ‘dildo’Two straight guys messing around with each other is not as uncommon as people might think, so don’t freak outOf course, I freaked out…Moving back to ...

BlakeAt 43 I'm supposed to have everything figured out, and if you'd asked me six months ago I'd have said I did: head of my own tech company, beautiful fiancée, amazing future all planned out...life was perfect. Or, at least, I thought it was…So now I'm in New York after selling my company and fleeing San Jose, and for the first time in as long as I can remember I have nothing to fill my day—no meetings, no reports, no tests, no launch parties—and that's h...

ZackTwelve years ago, I thought I had everything figured out: I’d go off to college, get my marketing degree, come back to my charming little hometown of Finchley in California’s Gold Country, help my high school sweetheart build his carpentry business, and live happily ever after…Ha! That’s teenage naivety for you.Instead, on the eve of my college departure, Slater Goode (henceforth known as The Devil) ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped al...

HeathIt's a classic story: Boy meets girl, girl breaks boy's heart, boy pretends to be gay to get back at girl, girl outs boy to everyone on Facebook…Okay, maybe it's not that classic. But it's what happened to me.When I bump into my cheating ex and catch sight of the moon-sized rock on her finger, there's only one option to save face: pretend to be dating my gay best friend, Declan.And when she outs me on Facebook and everyone I know sees i...

TannerWhen you’re staring down the barrel of half a century’s existence on this planet, you tend to think about things…Like…maybe I should think about retiring? And I guess I could start crossing things off my bucket list? And should I get my colon checked?Something I wasn’t intending to start assessing too closely at this stage of my life—or ever, really—is my sporadic, complicated, and rather inconvenient attraction to men.Some people do y...

ChanceThere are certain rules of friendship that are pretty much written in stone:Don’t hit on your buddy’s girlBack your buddy up when he gets into a bar fightBail your buddy out when he gets hauled in by the sheriff for ‘requisitioning’ a pair of goatsHelping your buddy’s kid brother lose his virginity? …yeah, that’s not on the list.It starts as a simple favor. Now that he’s home ...

BenAidan Kelly. To everyone else in the world he’s the star of a successful extreme travel show, but to me he’s the one that won’t go away.It started with one of those typical high school crushes on my best friend’s older brother, which turned out to be not entirely unrequited…There was that time just after high school where someone (not me) may or may not have hurled all over someone else’s c*ck. Then there was that incident in Austin wher...

WillTurning up on the first day of a job you desperately need to discover you’ve already slept with your billionaire boss? Yeah, that’s a bit of a conundrum.Learning he’s a closeted bisexual currently embroiled in a—by all accounts bogus—sexual harassment scandal? That’s more of a fiasco.But having to sit outside the office of one of the sexiest men alive, day in, day out, knowing there’s no chance of a repeat? That’s what I’d call a disaster.
