Even though I’ve experienced many a drunken fumble in a gay bar it wasn’t until I was asked to write this article that it hit me that I’ve have never actually done the pulling. I started to really doubt my pulling abilities, it was these doubts that led me to think it would be a great idea to get a gaggle of lesbians together and head out to Nottingham pride and get them to do the dirty work for me (queue the evil laugh)!

Armed with enough alcohol to fill a wheelbarrow we found a great viewing spot that we would call our base camp for the day. After a few cans the theories and stories started to roll, due to the fact that none of my friends seem to recall the intricate details of their nights out their stories weren’t much use. At this point I decided that maybe I should’ve been pickier when selecting friends to come with me. My girlfriend for one just didn’t seem that into helping me find the trick behind pulling chicks in bars, go figure.

Like most gay girlies at one time or another I have had the (mis)fortune of cruising women on GaydarGirls, in fact I am ashamed to admit I have been a registered member for almost two long years with very little success. Although I have yet to find love on the Dar I still religiously hand over my £5 every month so that I may send and receive limitless messages from women (well they claim to be women) all over the world that are in the same sorry position I am in.

Yes that’s right, £5 every month for two years costing me a total of £125. In hindsight I should have saved myself the time and used the £125 on an attractive escort out of the Yellow Pages, or gone to Soho and used it on three not so attractive (or clean) escorts, either way at least I would have ended up with something to show for my efforts even if it was just a nasty case of crabs.

Like all self-respecting teenagers, the end of my first long term ‘take home and come out to the parents’ type of relationship was celebrated with alcohol, tears and the angst-ridden music, mine was Elliot Smith … don’t make the same mistake I did! It was then followed by the walk of shame to University the next day, hiding under big sunglasses and the carefully-coiffed scene kid fringe, which finally came in handy for something other than annoying me in high-winds.

I was recently having a conversation with a friend regarding the joys of sex in toilets. Unlike my friend who regarded such activities as nasty and animalistic I can’t speak highly enough of a good romp in the loo of some seedy bar or club. My reasoning is two fold;

Firstly, we have all been in the situation where you have been out on the scene and met the “love of our life” that we simply must have then and there (most likely due to copious amounts of alcohol and / or the happy pills you just digested) so what better place to show your love for them then balancing half naked, knickers down your ankles on a toilet bowl in G.A.Y??

... No really, I did! After spending the week asking women if they had been to one and hearing only great reviews I couldn't resist a visit. So on my birthday I decided to round up the girls and off we went. I'd been warned that it can be an expensive hobby and if I was planning on drinking not to take plastic, with this in mind I stuffed my pockets with as much cash as Barclays would allow me to withdraw and off we went.

Leave a comment to win a copy of Loving Annabelle on DVD!!

Katherine Brooks knows what it's like to have it hard. Oh dear, get your minds out of the gutter ladies I'll try and be more clear! She ran away from her small town home in Louisiana to pursue a career in television and film when she was 16. With only $150, and a large quota of charm, Katherine started out sleeping in her car in the parking lot of a Hollywood motel. Now, a decade later, Katherine has directed some of television's hottest shows and will begin shooting her second feature film, Waking Madison in August.

Katherine's awesome list of television credits include three seasons of the Emmy-Award winning show, The Osbournes, Newlyweds which starred the sexy but somewhat blonde Jessica Simpson and The Simple Life with Paris and Nicole.

AxeGirl are a young up and coming band that you can’t help but like. With catchy songs and a funky dress sense they make a refreshing change from the ‘oh so’ familiar bubblegum pop and dingy guitar bands the charts have been spouting out over the last few years. With there most recognisable song ‘I Like Girls’ receiving positive media feed back its great to meet girls who are happy to be gay and happy to sing about it.

Our interview takes place in a rather “manky” pub in Bethnal Green. As soon as we walk through the door the girls, Axe (lead singer and song writer), and Becky (base guitar) draw suspicious stares from the punters, probably due to the fact they still have there makeup on from the LoveGirls photo shoot. After getting a round of drinks in we settle down to have a chat about the band, their fans and the Channel 4 show Musicool which Axe recently appeared in.

Share your experience of Internet Dating to win Sinchronicity on DVD!

It may not occur to you lucky few who happen to live in and around the gay Meccas that are London, Brighton and Manchester, but sometimes for the rest of us securing dates or finding suitable partners is not so easy. My own dating history, for example, reads less like a Mills and Boone bodice-ripper and more like a military manual on urban guerrilla warfare.

Recently, I found myself relocated to a geographical area where the words “Candy Bar” might as well be referring to a Kit-Kat. You can picture the scene: the local lesbian hang out has the feeling of the wild wild west, with everyone dropping into silence and giving you suspicious looks the second you walk in. Due to this tumbleweed effect, and understandably bored of trying to get my straight friends into a bi-curious mood through the medium of beer (oh don’t give me that disapproving look, we’ve all done it!), my only remaining option is Internet Dating!

Share your experience of coming out to win Series 2 of Sugar Rush!

With the possible exception of quantum physics and lion taming, coming out is probably one of the hardest things you are going to do, but it’s the one thing we all have in common, because at some point we all have to do it.

I wouldn’t say that my coming out story was particularly exciting or drama filled, but despite that I’m going to share it with you anyway.

It seems to me that there are two distinct ways in which to come out; get it over and done with very early on or make a million and one excuses to not do it!

Dear LoveGirls

Thank you to everyone who's signed the Sugar Rush petition on the LoveGirls website. It's really amazing reading your comments.

We're glad so many of you enjoyed the series as we had such fun making it. Last winter, we were on the Brighton seafront at two in the morning, filming a little fantasy scene (later cut) where Kim ...
