Let's talk about sex, baby.

It’s not just our physical and mental wellbeing that’s been on a rollercoaster during Covid; our sex lives have also had their ups and downs.
Whether fanning the flames with a long-term lover after a year of lockdowns, or single and desperate to mingle mid-pandemic, sex has sometimes been complicated to negotiate of late.
Enter the Attitude Sex & Sexuality issue – out now to download and to order globally – which gets right in between the sheets for a no-holds-barred exploration of LGBTQ intimacy in 2021.
Leading the sexual charge is François Sagat, arguably the most famous male porn star ever, and one of the few to effortlessly cross between art, fashion and sex.
