Last month saw our 'I'm Too Sexy...' workshop, which explored the concept of 'sexual addicition' and looked for more sexuality affirmative ways of conceptualising and working with gay and bisexual men who present feeling that their sexual behaviour is out of control. We have been particularly concerned to offer alternatives to the addiction based 12 Step model, which can in many cases reinforce shame and guilt.

The workshop was so popular, we even had to turn people away in order to keep the group size one that was safe and useful enough for people to participate freely!

We have created an extra section on the website which has links to other web resources those who are interested in this subject can follow up with. (see the link below)

This includes an article by Dermod Moore - who co- facilitated the workshop with Dominic Davies. In addition to being a Psychosynthesis Psychotherapist, Dermod also writes a regular column under the name 'Bootboy.' Deromd wrote up a version of a presentation he gave exploring the spiritual aspects to gay male cruising behaviour at the workshop. It's also listed in the Sex section of the website entitled Dionysos.

Last minute bookings are welcomed for this workshop, up until Thursday 5th May, exploring working with family issues as they pertain to sexual minority clients.

On 5 May 2005, after 10 years of bringing gay people together online, OUTeverywhere is to re-launch with an emphasis on growing as a "real world" membership organisation that gay people join, rather than purely a website to sign up and login to. It's a subtle but fundamental shift in the perception of OUTeverywhere.

Whatever you're into, wherever you are, OUTeverywhere offers you the chance to get in touch with people who share your interests, people who like doing the same things you do, people on your wavelength. It's a non-sexual membership organisation dedicated to connecting like-minded gay men and women.

A zero exploitation policy means that no income is received from advertising or the distribution of member's contact details. Relying entirely on membership fees ensures that OUTeverywhere remains a safe community space for gay and lesbian people where the emphasis is not on sex or commercial gain.

The 5 Rhythms of Gabrielle Roth is a simple practice designed to release the dancer that lives in everybody, no matter what shape, size, age or experience. The 5 Rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. They come together to create a movement meditation practice also known as The Wave. Whilst the practice itself is the essence of simplicity, it has the power to catalyse deep healing.
