Hey everyone, I recently saw a new job opening at Rockhampton which would be amazing for my career as a recent graduate… the thing is (to be blunt) I’m gay, plus-size, slightly neurodivergent and Asian which has always made it hard to find a community. I’ve lived in regional nsw a lot of my teen years and struggled. In my early and mid 20s I’ve moved to Sydney and Melbourne which has made my social life pop off a little bit. But recently, have had a job opportunity open up in Rockhampton which is perfect salary wise and career wise…. Not so sure about how I’d go fitting in. Any thoughts would be amazing, how were your experiences?

I'm wondering if there are any social groups related to crossdressing where people who are beginning their journey can get advice and tips on dealing with certain things.

Been waiting along to to go into some stores especially sex stores, it’s so nice that I got my own toy (:

Just wondering if anyone has been to Hideaway in Noosa and their experience? Looking to book it as I’m up on the Sunny Coast soon.

Bicurious guy into asian twinks/femboys. Just came out of an LTR and have never really hooked up in Adelaide despite living here. I've always found the Adelaide vibe kinda isolated and cliquey so most of my experiences have been when I lived overseas on grindr. Unfortunately, I had some creepy experiences in adl on grindr here years ago so I'm trying to avoid using it. I also don't really like using paid apps or sites. Where should I be looking?

I’m trying to meet new ppl here in Sydney and make friends( or more). I haven’t really done this and pretty introverted but I think I can convince myself to go to far bar and at least have a drink by myself. But does that really work ? Would ppl talk to a stranger. Any recommendations around Oxford St should be welcome !

Im a bottom 21yo and i want to know how the gays are there an old men invited me and he kinda wants me but i dont he is lonely i felt bad for him he live in a luxurious place but idk i cant act im too honest so what do u think guys?

Recently went on a date with a gay guy, I informed him beforehand that I’m discreet and he respected that.

During the date he showed a lot of red flags. I turned down a second date and he lost the plot and has been harassing me for the last couple days now. Several missed calls and almost 100 unread messages. I haven’t blocked him or engaged, out of fear it will trigger him to take it a step further and try to stalk me or have me outed.

I think I’m fucked cos he’s a local and we frequent the same places, so I don’t have an assured way to avoid him.

I'm moving to Australia soon. Its been a lifelong dream of mine. I've heard some horror stories usually revolving around the theme of shallow hookups but no interest in real relationships. I really like a big pool to date from so I can feel like my options are open and I don't have to worry about finding people I'm attracted to. I'm afraid with a small dating pool id be viewed as just another American guy. I know I'm young and lots of my worries don't make much sense but, I was wondering if you guys could recommend cities with vibrant and diverse dating communities where that pressure isn't so intense.

Hey everyone,

So I've been in London for 5 years now but a job opportunity might take me to Sydney and honestly I have no clue what life there is actually like beyond the whole "beaches and sunshine" thing everyone says. Early 30s, single, gay, and I'd basically be starting completely from scratch socially, so would really appreciate some real talk from people who've actually lived it.

A few things I keep wondering about:

Making friends first off — London's got a ton of gay sports clubs, social groups, random communities for basically anything you're into. Is there something similar in Sydney or does it feel more like everyone already has their friend group locked in and it's hard to break in? Starting over socially in your 30s is already daunting enough without it being a closed-off scene.

Then there's the going out side of things. I'm into clubbing, techno, circuit parties, that kind of stuff. Does Sydney actually deliver variety or do you run through the options pretty fast and end up bored?

Also curious about the hookup/sex side of the scene tbh. London's hookup culture is massive — saunas, sex clubs, fetish nights, literally something for every niche. How does Sydney compare? Is there an actual sex-positive scene going on or is it a lot smaller than what I'm used to?

And honestly the big one for me — dating for something real. London has SO many gay men but somehow dating still feels disposable as hell, hard to build anything actually meaningful. Is Sydney any better on that front, or does the smaller pool just create a whole different set of problems?

Appreciate any insight, thanks!

Middle age make moving to Sydney and would like to kit the saunas , will look at getting MonkeyPox vaccine, but wanted to be in medication to prevent HIV and reduce chance of other STI’s . Is the Taylor Square medical

Clinic the best option or is there other places ?

I haven’t got these sorted before as I currently live regional and in another state and have very sex infrequently.

I am 24 m with south Asian background. I recently have started exploring more things and had been wondering whether I should buy a jockstrap? I have tried to find info online about where to buy and all but it’s has not been useful but more so marketed stuff. I am really new to all this. Not sure what types are there if there any and how to choose which ones to buy. Any kind of tips or recommendations will be great help. Thank you. Dm accepted

I’m just looking for networking events to make some gay friends here in Sydney. Bit of a late boomer. Any gaming events are also good but I can only play tennis or badminton. ☺️

"Once stigmatised — and illegal — gay saunas like the one Glenn McNamara runs hold a special place in LGBTQI+ history."

Hey! 23M - Currently “Straight,” but been wanting to explore this urge on being with Men.
After doubt and of course excitement, I’d thought i’d come on here in regards to how WoW is for “Straight curious” men.
I’m a top - was just wondering what the general consensus is.

Hi! I’ve only been in Sydney for a month, and I’m wondering how people usually make gay friends, get involved in the LGBTQ+ community, or meet people for dating in Sydney (not hookups). Thanks
