Sexless Gays?
A Closer Look at Celibacy Among GLBTQIs
By Mikee dela Cruz
GLBTQIA Filipino
Is it always all about sex?
The harsh truth is that many (okay, make that MOST, not just many) continue to see GLBTQIAs, particularly the G and B sectors, as extremely sexual people - in fact, somewhat taken as (an almost) fact is that MSMs (including gays and bisexuals, and men who have sex with men but do not identify themselves as G or B) are so sexually promiscuous, so much so that, for a while there, the spread of such sexually transmitted infections as HIV/AIDS was attributed to us. But, stresses Gayteens.about.com, “despite the association of gay people with sex, plenty of folks in the GLBT community choose not to have sex and instead be celibate." What does this mean? More importantly, can (or, for that matter, SHOULD) gays be celibates?

Savoury Buggery
Anal Sex 101

Focus on Lesbianism and Sports

Freelance writer Calex: "I’ve realized that what these ‘lesbians’ have shown on court is just a mirror image of the signs of the times: a dynamic Philippine society where women, regardless of orientation, can be at par (or even better) than their male counterparts, in any field that they set their hearts into."
