GMFA, the gay men’s health charity, will run its popular arse class in Brighton and 10 other cities across the UK in the New Year.

The course will teach gay men everything they need to know about their arse, including how to keep sex fun, safe and pleasurable, whether you are a top, bottom or flip both ways.
 
Matthew Hodson, Head of Programmes at GMFA, says:
“It’s rare that anyone really teaches gay guys about their arses and sex – we’re just expected to picks things up as we go along. Unfortunately, there are a lot of myths and misinformation around fucking and men get worried that they’re not having sex properly or safely. The arse class gives men the chance to explore the arse and find out the things they’ve always wanted to know.”

Karisa Lundberg at Kingston University LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Society, comments on the course:
“There is no other 'sex ed' class offered that is as comprehensive, honest, or informative for men who have sex with men. I have no doubt that the class has resulted in safer sex, more informed sex, and better sex for many of our members.”

The course will help men explore the many different aspects of the arse in a fun way. This includes how to make fucking more comfortable, how to use sex toys properly, why the arse is a vulnerable area for disease, and which lubes are best for which situation.

The Arse class takes place on a Saturday from 10am to 5pm.

The dates for 2010 are:
January 23: Brighton,  Bristol and  Manchester
January 30: Birmingham and  Liverpool
February 6:  London ,  Newcastle and  Wakefield
February 13:  Norwich , Sheffield and  Southampton
