This summer GMFA will run a series of evening info sessions and weekend workshops to offer gay men in London the kind of sex education they never got at school.

The info sessions are all new courses designed to give men confidence in sex and sexual negotiation.

The sex workshops mark the return of some of GMFA's most popular courses, including the Arse Class and Bondage for Beginners. All of the courses give gay men the opportunity to discover new sexual techniques, improve the sex that they are having and to learn more about their bodies, how they work and how to keep themselves healthy.

The info sessions are fun, one-off events held on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings.

Sex and your Cock is an introduction to how your cock works and how you can get more - and give more - pleasure with it. You'll discover ways that can make playing with your cock more fun, as well as learning stage by stage the best way to put a condom on and special blowjob techniques. 

Sex and your Arse gives gay men the opportunity to learn the inner workings and secrets of their arses.

From Fingers to Fists is an introduction for any man interested in fisting or getting fisted.

Finally, HIV and You examines how HIV is transmitted and looks at the best ways that HIV negative gay men can protect themselves.

As well as the new info sessions, GMFA are reviving some of their most popular workshops, the Sex Course and the Arse Class, and for those men who want to explore harder sex, Bondage for Beginners and the SM Sex course.

As well as the London dates, The Arse Class will also be touring nationally in the Autumn. 

Boyz sex expert Charlie W, who went on the Sex Course said, "Everything's done without being tacky, without pressure and with the requisite amount of humour to diffuse any potential embarrassment. Take it from me, it works.

“If I can come out of there with four new blowjob techniques under my belt (as it were), then surely everyone has time to learn at least one new way to nosh.”

All of GMFA's info sessions and workshops are free of charge to gay men in London but places are limited and must be booked in advance. To book a place call 020 7738 3712 or go to www.metromate.org.uk.
