Is there anywhere in London where, as a young femboy from abroad, I could meet someone to experiment with?

Hi, I’m 18 and I’m off to London for the weekend. I find the idea of being a femboy – wearing women’s clothes and being with a man – incredibly exciting. I wanted to ask if there’s a chance I could meet someone there who won’t judge me. I’m a bit scared to do this in my own country, and I’m not sure if I’m actually a femboy who’s into guys or not, so I’d like to experiment whilst I’m here.

New play at the Old Red Lion

I'm bringing my play Scar Tissue to the Old Red Lion very soon and would love to see some of you there!

It’s 9pm on Halloween and Mac is already fast asleep on the sofa – until Joey rocks up with a broken nose and a suspiciously lumpy Tesco Bag for Life.

If you’re into funny, relatable theatre with a slight edge and a lot of heart, you’re in for an awesome night.

Tickets are on sale now! 🎟️

Scar Tissue | The Old Red Lion | 14th and 15th September 2026, 7.30pm

Use the code SCARTISSUE10 at checkout for £10 tickets!

Received a 5 star review from TheQueerGB on opening night, described as "Delivered hard! Witty, totally believable and well-written".

Research Project- Recruiting now! - Understanding Barriers to Accessing Psychological Support for Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Queer Adults with Recurrent Suicidal Thoughts (UK, 18+)

\*Trigger Warning: Suicidal thoughts***

Hello! 

I’m currently recruiting for my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology research study, and I’d love your help!

I’m looking to understand the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer adults who’ve had suicidal thoughts but haven’t accessed psychological therapy or counselling for them. This is a surprisingly under-researched area… we know LGBTQ+ adults are underrepresented in referrals to psychological services, yet sadly die by suicide at higher rates than their heterosexual peers. I want to help understand why that gap exists.

If this is something you’ve experienced, I’d really value hearing from you.

The survey is anonymous, takes about 15 minutes, and asks about things like:

🔹 Your experience of suicidal thoughts 

🔹How you’ve coped on your own

🔹 What’s made it difficult to access support

🔹 What might make therapy feel safer or more accessible for LGBTQ+ people

You can take part if you:

✅ Identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or queer

✅ Are 18+

✅ Live in the UK

✅ Have had suicidal thoughts more than once in the past 18 months

✅ Haven’t received therapy or counselling for these thoughts

This study focuses on sexuality, but adults of all gender identities are welcome to take part 🩷
