#Lubelife, the leading personal lubricant brand sold on Amazon, is celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month by forming a partnership with Campus Pride, the only national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization for student leaders and campus groups working to create a safer college environment for LGBTQ students. Campus Pride is a volunteer-driven network “for” and “by” student leaders. Educational partners, staff and volunteers develop resources, programs and services to support LGBTQ and ally students on college campuses across the United States. Search their resources and learn how our various programs and services may assist you in creating a safer, more LGBTQ-friendly college campus community. #LubeLife supports your sexual adventure and encourages people to #TakeItBackForGood. #LubeLife will be donating $5 to Campus Pride every time someone posts about anal sex positivity on the #LubeLife website during Pride Month. Also, #Lubelife will be donating 15% of the sales of its two anal sex lubricants during the month of June to support sexual health and stigma reduction programs for queer young adults with Campus Pride. “#LubeLife is a fun, irreverent brand that is all about adventure and exploration; we wanted to put a spotlight on anal sex during Pride month because it is at the very core of sexual exploration, and the LGBTQ community has always been on the forefront of that,” said Tara Merkle, Senior Director of Marketing for #LubeLife. “Sex is a part of life and we must talk about it,” said Shane Windmeyer, Executive Director of Campus Pride. “Every dollar raised will be put towards our sexual health awareness programs and stigma reduction for queer young adult leaders.” Head over to the #LubeLife website for more info.

Actor and social media star Matthew Camp (Getting Go: The Go Doc Project; Hurricane Bianca: From Russia with Hate) stars in a 3-part sex-positive docu-series called Camp Chaos produced by Men.com.
Via press release:
Camp Chaos is a provocative meditation exploring formative sexual memories. The series takes on the form of a hybrid documentary / experimental film / art project. It uses explicit sex as part of the exploration of Matthew’s formative sexual memories.
Each episode will cover a distinct sexual experience from Camp’s life. He first shares the story with viewers and then sets about recreating the encounter in explicit detail with a new partner.
The series blends reality and fantasy in a way that creates what feels like a true and authentic portrayal of Matthew Camp. What you see is what you get, Camp is truly and unapologetically himself.
Check out the very sexy and cool trailer. Warning NSFW:
“I feel like it’s important as gay men that we exercise our right to want to have sex, to make content with it, and profit off it. It’s sort of a revolutionary act,” says Camp.
In February, Camp told Attitude Magazine, “It’s important to document sex because there’s nothing wrong with it, there’s nothing shameful about it and there’s nothing crazy about it. You should be able to watch sex as entertainment.”
Camp Chaos also functions as a time capsule of what gay relationships and encounters are like in a post-online dating and social media world. It is current, timely, real and treats sex the way millennials treat sex.
Camp Chaos had its world premiere at the Inside Out LGBT Film Festival in Toronto on May 31st and will be having its American premiere at Frameline International LBGT Film Festival in San Francisco on June 28th, 2019.
The first episode (a different episode from the one screening at festivals) will be available to stream on Men.com June 28th.
Camp has over 574K followers on Instagram, 65K followers on Twitter and a gigantic presence on the OnlyFans platform.
Last December, I had the chance to chat with Camp on The Randy Report podcast just as he was prepping for the new Camp Chaos project. It’s easily one of my favorite interviews to date.
An intoxicating blend of good-looking country boy with a side of danger, I found him to be thoughtful and well-spoken. It’s a disarmingly charming equation.
And his sex-positive message is something everyone should hear. So many of us are taught to be ashamed of sex instead of celebrating it.
He’s also designed his own line of t-shirt and leather gear fashions. Matthew says he took a couple of classes in construction and pattern making a few years ago for the ABCs of it all, but admits to having an interest in fashion since he was a kid.
Plus, he launched a line of provocatively named fragrances (8.5, Transgression) that are inspired by, and conjure up, his memories of working in bars around sexy men.

It’s no surprise that the most obvious trait that sets gay men apart from the rest of the world is the fact that we have sex with men.
But in truth, few of us ever had someone explain or teach us about gay sexuality.
In today’s Randy Report podcast, I chat with popular sex-positive YouTube vlogger and gay sexuality authority Davey Wavey.
With over a million subscribers to his YouTube channel and over 400 million views of his videos, Davey Wavey has spent years covering LGBT topics relating to sex, relationships, coming out, dating, boys, and just about anything having to do with homosexuality.
Davey chats about his latest endeavor – new website HimEros.tv – which he describes as “an erotic playground for men who have sex with men to enhance their experience of sex and sexuality.”
“Porn is designed to get you off,” Wavey says. “It’s not designed to teach you about pleasure or connection or intimacy. Porn doesn’t teach you how to have good sex. What we do in the bedroom is often a reflection of what we watch on the computer screen. It’s my hope that by serving a different flavor of gay erotica, we can encourage gay men to shift their approach.”
