Charlie Porter is a writer and fashion critic with a green thumb and an eye for well-tailored crotches. When not at his desk, he’s most likely busy gardening or deejaying one of London’s gay parties. Charlie’s debut novel ‘Nova Scotia House’ just published this week and its steamy sex scenes may make some of his fans in the fashion industry clutch their pearls. A tender tale of gay love and loss — set now and in the 1990s — it’s got hookups of every persuasion. We caught up with Charlie for a Quickie to find out how he writes fiction about fucking.

For decades, photographer Del LaGrace Volcano has been taking pictures of tattooed trans guys, leatherfolk getting fisted and dangerously hot dykes. Public sex is one of their favorite kinks. ‘Combining art with danger and sex seems to make sense to my twisted brain,’ they say. Nice! Del honed their cruising skills in San Francisco in the late 1970s before moving to London, where they met loads of friends horny to get off in the great outdoors. In their latest photobook, ‘Queer Dyke Cruising’, two leather-clad lesbian couples hook up on London’s infamous Hampstead Heath. When I call the artist at their current home in Sweden, they open up about their favorite BDSM clubs and spots for intersex exhibitionism.

Hampstead Heath is one of the sluttiest parks in Europe, a cock-sucking destination since the days of Oscar Wilde. So when flyers appeared around the park urging dog-walkers to “take back” the Heath from cruisers and telling gays to “get a room”, queers from ACT UP London and This is My Culture showed up to remind them who was there first. Thank the gay gods for spring weather! It was a perfect pickup place for politically engaged fags, dykes and friends, from the disco tunes playing on a speaker to a rousing game of Who’s bum is this? As for the dog-walkers, there was nothing to “take back” – just one very horny pup taking it from behind.

Colin Self is a musician, puppeteer and self-styled “freak bitch diva” who’s into some serious fantasy role-play. The artist loves to dress up as a big gay orc and is getting used to being called “daddy”. Their new album, respite ∞ levity for the nameless ghost in crisis – a love letter to dead friends and drag queens — just dropped on 21 February, so we called them up for a ‘Quickie’ to ask…

The spit flows freely in George Nebieridze’s new series ‘Drooling Political’. Back in 2015, George gave us a first whiff of his photography with ‘Armpits of Berlin’. Now, the Berlin photographer marvels at another element of good sex – saliva. While often a last-ditch lubricant, it’s also a hot sign of F-you domination. George hails from Georgia, where the government is assaulting the rights and life of the queer community. The series is his own crew’s middle finger to the ruling party.

Q: What’s this all about?
A: “This project is my modest gesture and a reaction to our struggles as Georgian queer immigrants in Berlin. Even though it’s 2025, queerness, being a queer person, is still becoming more and more difficult in Georgia. The deeply closeted and violently homophobic politicians chose the most vulnerable as their target and use the argument of protecting families from “gay propaganda”. I don’t think any propaganda can make anyone gay if they’re confident enough in themselves. Things are getting scarier, but I can’t give up on myself and my community. I keep working and fighting for freedom with everything I can. So let’s spit on them.”

Éamonn is an artist, farmer and basket-weaver in Devonshire, England who’s an expert at working with wood and all things that grow. Recently the half-Dutch, half-Irish country gay — who used to work the door at Amsterdam sex den Club Church — has been teaching “Hedging for Faggots” courses to urban and rural homos. And no, that doesn’t just mean a bundle of sticks. We caught up with him for a “Quickie” to ask…

‘A young man recovers his collection of red cars only to realise that the scale of his fantasies has changed.’ Here's the fully-hard Super 8 fantasy. Shot and directed by Joaquin Wall and Yero in La Plata, Argentina, the film ‘Boxes’ revved up our ‘FIXATIONS’ film series with The One Minutes.

Wet and kinky? Pocket raincoats, known to the American-inclined as rain ponchos, hold unexplored sex potential according to filmmaker Cathal O’Brien. The 42-year-old Londoner answers six questions about his fetish to accompany his film on the sticky matter. When Cathal isn’t whipping cheap plastic out on unsuspecting hookups, he can be found deejaying at spots like the Divine in Dalston, or making steamy films with his signature approach of re-filming his footage via old TV sets. At the premiere of the ‘FIXATIONS’ series with the One Minutes, he gifted a yellow one to BUTT. He’s looking to grow the community…

Cassils is a super strong artist who has pumped up their body to Arnold Schwarzenegger-approved extremes. The trans muscle guru embodies the gym-to-museum pipeline with ease. They sent us some pics from their latest performance so we called them up for a 7-minute “Quickie”…

Yola Camilleri and Lokin’s film ‘How to eat pasta pussy in 4 steps’ inspires eager home cooks everywhere with a helpful guide to munching noodles. The hungry couple’s contribution to our ‘FIXATIONS’ series with the One Minutes begins with mixing and kneading the dough, then cutting the tagliatelle, cooking until al dente and finally, it’s ready to eat — no cutlery or plates required! Just lie back and enjoy the meal. Buon appetito!

In BUTT no. 35, Thyago Sainte visited Jörg at his Berlin allotment fuck pad, where the frisky host put on his all-time favorite orgy track — Dancing in the Moonlight by Baku-based artist Roudeep. Nothing like some deep house to get  orgy vibe going, right? Well, we thought better to ask you... What’s your soundtrack for sex? Here's a running list, plus we made a playlist on Spotify. 

Karim loves deepthroat and reports being a dom at Dance Dance Revolution. The Spanish-Moroccan content creator also visited 12 countries this year for sex, including Mexico, where he modeled the new BUTT block tee and had his first ‘inner’ golden shower. Fabulous.

On my way to meet Ayleen Kandemir, my nerves are kicking in. I’ve heard she likes a drink, and honestly, I could use one now, too. Not much is known about her, but I often spot her on the street in Neukölln, dressed in head-to-toe latex, frozen like a public sculpture. She’s just as iconic as one. She’s become a fixture of the Berlin public transport network, where she likes to pose on the floor and sometimes gets mistaken for someone who’s fallen and needs assistance. When people talk about her, their eyes widen as if they had seen a ghost. Some say you’ll turn to stone when you see her, like Medusa.

When artist Chivas Clem moved back to Paris, Texas after more than a decade in NYC, he didn’t have the warmest memories of his rural hometown. As a kid, he sometimes felt like the only gay in the village. But starting in 2016, he started befriending young men in his neighborhood, many of them drifters — the kinds of guys who were stereotyped as bigots and blamed for Donald Trump’s election, when most of them didn’t even have the right to vote. All of them seemed misunderstood, and some of them a little bit gay. His exhibition ‘Shirttail Kin’, now up at Dallas Contemporary, shows a tender and sexy side to these tough, scruffy bros, but it’s no redneck romance. The show’s title is a Southern term for “chosen family”. Sweet!

Izzy Spears and I first met backstage at Homobloc, the super-huge and super-gay music festival in Manchester, where he headlined alongside some favorite queers, like Hercules and Love, Affair, Christeene, Olof Dreijer and LSDXOXO. Izzy’s blend of horror rap, punk and grunge goes hard — the title of his new album, BLOOD, SWEAT AND DAMNATION, sums up the vibe. We shared a sweaty hug and made plans to meet after the festival for an interview — clothing optional, so Izzy could show me his tribal dick tattoo. After a stroll through Manchester’s Gay Village, Izzy told me about growing up in the Black Israelite community of Atlanta and all his tour trade, though I got too dickstracted to write it all down. (It’s a big, um, tattoo.) A couple days later, between sound checks on his UK tour, we speak again, this time on the record.

Feeling especially villainous this spooky season but don’t know what to wear? No fear! Our friends at the super-smart ‘Bad Gays’ podcast, Ben Miller and Huw Lemmey, sent us these fab and fiendish costume concepts, from an airplane-hijacking Hungarian baron to ancient Rome’s original demon twink. Stay tuned for the new season of their podcast, which tells the sordid side of gay history, coming out this November.

Who loves hot bear bum? Lee Campbell’s horny finger does in in ‘F.I.L.F. (Finger. I Like Fucking)’. In the London poet’s contribution to our ‘FIXATIONS’ film series with The One Minutes, his digit stops to check out the ass of a barista who’s turned around to serve up a little extra foam. Yum. A self-professed “lockdown poet”, Lee really got riffing in 2020. With a background in painting and theater, his poetic works can take the form of text, film or live performance – with lots of finger movements and fist. The video for ‘F.I.L.F. (Finger. I like Fucking)’, told partly in the homosexual dialect of Polari, is a mind-scrambling and wonderful ride. Enjoy!

Back over Easter Weekend, BUTT had the pleasure of co-hosting SISSY SMUT at Berlin's Volksbuhne theater — a night of radical queer cinema, deejays, and a so-called ‘Dark Room Drama’. Now our friend and co-host Matt Lambert has released a full cut of the burlesque extravaganza, featuring Camp Dad, Bleach, and many other scantily-clad performers, cruising each other onstage and in the aisles to a soundtrack of über-gay house classics and spoken word. We hope you enjoy their happily horny defense of sleaze.

Take it from Quay Dash — good pussy is worth the wait. On her first single release since 2017’s viral breakout EP ‘Transphobic’, the rapper and self-styled ‘Queen Of This Shit’ serves fast and cunty rhymes over throbbing bass. Produced by K.G. Helm, ‘Hit ‘em Up’ is a slutty autumn anthem for all of you who ‘can take a dick nine inches, enter slightly’. Maybe we relate. Of the lead single, K.G. tells us ‘We were both ready to jump in the ring.’ Why not? The EP out November 1 also features a new track with Babynymph — who dished about rough sex, fillers and hyperpop in BUTT no. 30.

The UK’s first ever Mr. Sportswear, who goes exclusively by his Instagram handle, MancSneaksGuy, drinks free everywhere in Manchester’s Gay Village. He joins me for a beer (so masc!) at the Rembrandt, a favorite watering hole for off-duty kinksters. Dressed in a deliciously glossy Adidas Chile two-piece tucked into his socks, the Yorkshire lad talks spunk-splashed sneakers and the hidden-in-plain-sight appeal of dressing down. Scandalous scallies, proll pigs, kiffeur sniffers — or whatever you call them — aren’t going anywhere, and this nylon worshiper is leading the charge, sportswear flag in hand.
