Well I have got this month's mag now. I got it at Sainsbury's with one of those self scan thingees, what a coward. I had to distract the person processing the scanner when GAY TIMES flashed up.
Not really looked at the mag in detail but a quick glance would suggest GT magazine is not low standard and it has plenty of reading matter. I would not call it porn but a gay lifestyle mag. But I will make my mind up when I have read it. There are no porno photos in it but that is not what I was looking for.
I am not uncomfortable or in fact reserved with gay men it is straight people I know who I am timid with in fear they may discover my secret.
As for going to the clinic I tend to have my hood up and my head down when I go in. I look right shifty so perhaps I am attracting attention more than blending in. I know a few nurses at the hospital where it is and also some people who work opposite so that is why the hood is up.
As for the Doctor when I was asked why it was so long since my last visit when I eventually went back I told them the story. However, the notes of my previous visit had disappeared and so they could not find out who it was

Lol i stand by my assertion that it is, in fact, just porn. The quality of the writing is poor. The last time i read a gay mag there was a photo of five guys with their erect cocks all pointing in the same direction. This was apparently 'art' and NOT just an excuse to shove full frontal nudity into a mid-shelf glossy. There was a page long article with some moronically pretentious justification of said photo. That was when i knew i'd never read a gay 'lifestyle' mag again. Believe it or not, gay men DO actually get up to more than sex...

Well having read 2 or 3 articles in GT and flicked through the pages I would find it hard to class it as porn. There is not one picture of a cock erect or otherwise in the entire mag and the articles , whilst perhaps not masterpieces of prose, are not the type of article you would read in the likes of NUTS.
There are a few photos of guys in their underwear a couple of guys in s&m garb but that is as racey as it gets.There are loads of adverts for more hardcore experiences together with adverts for gay holidays, gay escorts, gay texts and the rest.
GT may not be the magazine I was looking for but it is the type of mag.

Why is it that gay "lifestyle" mags always have to have racey photos?You'd never ever find those kinda photos in straight lifestyle mags.It feels like they're cementing the stereotype that homosexuality is all about butt fucking hot guys and nothing more.I guess thats why I bought one gay mag and never did again.

The description of racey was vey loose. Two or three photos of guys in their underwear is certainly not porn.
I have read gt a little more and on a scale of 100 where 1 would be a church magazine and 100 hard core porn GT would probably score about 20.
I think it is possible to have a gay mag that is not porn and GT is probably it. It is perhaps stereotypical that people think a gay mag has to be porn, it does not and GT is not.
The articles in the magazine deal with gay adult issues but in a proper manner.

How sad I am.
