We have nearly reached our target sample of 150 participants, thanks to everyone who has shared and taken part so far!

Participants are wanted for a research study on substance use within the LGBTQ+ community in the UK, conducted by London South Bank University.

This study aims to capture information about substance use within the LGBTQ+ community across the UK to better understand patterns of substance use and factors that may be associated with seeking help. This study aims to not just look at the community as a whole, but to also focus on potential differences in substance use and help seeking between those with different gender and sexual identities.

The study will consist of a series of questions and questionnaires covering the following topics: sexual and gender identity, the use of the following addictive substances: alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, cocaine, MDMA, amphetamine, and heroin, mental well-being, and attitudes about seeking help. This should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

My boyfriend and I have an amazing relationship and he is literally everything I wanted in a man and treats me like his entire world. so imagine my shock when i see the grinder app on his phone one random day. he immediately confesses and says he has a porn addiction and it has been a problem since he was in high school. In terms of the app I guess porn wasn't cutting it for him anymore so he decided to download it and actually message people. He thinks because his face and name and nothing about him is attached to it it's not "real" and is also in the umbrella of his addiction. He says he has massive shame when it comes to the type of porn he watches and as he got older it just became more intense videos and more "taboo" topics and that he's not even sure he really wants that. He said that he had this problem before we were dating as well but stopped when we started and then started back up again when he was depressed and alone on a work trip. He said he's never met up with anyone and never would but i don't know if I can get past this. to me messaging it seems like it's too far. It's not just watching, it's DOING. does anyone have any experience with porn addiction that can tell me if it's an "impulse" and part of his addiction as he only used it to jack off

He is seeking help and is doing everything he can to get me to forgive him but I don't know if I should. I've never been in this situation before. :(

I’d like to state that I am a(26F) dating straight (25M)

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half now and a few months ago I found out that he was messaging a Femboy from the Grindr app. He went out of town for work and met up with him and was on the giving end of things. He openly admitted this to me and stated that he does in fact have a thing for Femboys but doesn’t consider himself gay/bi/pans. He says he is straight. We had a very adult conversation about and I was extremely supportive of this. I love my boyfriend and he’s a great man and I hate that I can’t provide this desire and or fantasy for him. I decided to move past this and continue with the relationship.

Fast forward to lastnight…. I went to set an alarm on his phone and saw that there was “Tgirls porn” on his safari tabs. I’m at a total loss at this point because it seems his sexuality is all over the place. He’s had sexual encounters with Femboys and is watching trans porn. Nothing wrong with it but I just feel a bit insecure here is all. I don’t really know how to address this or if I even should address it. We seem to be able to communicate very well on all topics so I’d like to have a conversation about it but not sure how to bring it up. What does this mean for me? I feel as if I cannot satisfy my man or give him what he wants/needs? Someone with better understanding please give me some advice. Is this normal behavior when a man has a porn addiction?

Hi everyone!

I am posting this survey as a pair of graduate students who are currently studying at the University of Cincinnati! The goal of our survey is to try and understand communication practices surrounding sexual satisfaction in the gay male community, specifically looking at sexual position preference.

The only requirements for this survey are that you are a gay man, above the age of 18, and have been sexually active in the past 6 months!

Participation in the survey is fully voluntary, and you are welcome to stop taking the survey at any time if you are uncomfortable, or no longer wish to participate. We fully appreciate anyone who would be willing to take this survey!

Hi everyone! I am currently competing my doctorate in psychology and am looking for people to take part in my research. My research (based at the Centre for Appearance Research at the University of the West of England) is focused on understanding the experiences of LGBTQIA+ young people with appearance-affecting conditions, injuries, or treatment effects (e.g., scars, skin conditions, limb loss, hair loss, cleft lip) and their thoughts and feelings about these experiences. Taking part involves completing one anonymous online survey (20-30 minutes) and anyone who is aged 15-24 years and self-identifies as being part of an LGBTQIA+ community and as having an appearance-affecting condition, injury, or treatment effect can take part.
I am a queer White woman and the wider supervisory team consists of 3 White women who identify as queer and straight with lived experience of visible and invisible disability and visible difference. We particularly welcome those with intersecting identities to take part.
This study has received full ethical approval from the University of the West of England’s Faculty Research Ethics Committee (reference CHSS.23.08.001) and as a thank you for taking part, everyone who participates will be invited to enter a prize draw, with the chance of winning a £25 shopping voucher.

Hello! I'm a year 12 student in Society and Culture, currently doing my research project on the effects of internalized homophobia on queer cis-males and females. Internalized homophobia describes the experience of consciously or unconsciously accepting homophobic biases and applying these biases to yourself.

The survey looks over agents of socialization like the media, peers, family, and religion. While the survey covers these potentially sensitive topics, please KNOW you do not have to provide any sensitive information, nor does it have to be extremely detailed! That being said, I hope you'll consider doing my survey.

Please see the info below! We are very close to our required number of participants!

We are still recruiting for a new study about the experiences of gender & sexually diverse individuals ages 13-17!

There has been a lack of research highlighting the distinct experiences of SGM youth as well as efforts to identify how these experiences affect each of these groups differently, continuing to facilitate a lack of awareness in various professional communities. Additionally, much of the available research has excluded sexualities that do not conform to the gender binary (e.g., pansexual, asexual, and queer individuals), which may cause harm to our understanding of distinct experiences between SGM groups.

The purpose of the study is to learn more about the problems young people experience as well as the things that increase and decrease those problems. Results of the study may help professionals like teachers, doctors, and therapists better serve youth from all parts of the spectrum.

If you are interested, here is a link to the survey: https://lsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5nFkB2bXbWGm09o

Participation is completely anonymous and should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. As a thank you for their time, participants have the option to complete an unlinked survey if they would like to be entered in a $25 gift card raffle. It is made up of multiple-choice questions about your experiences in addition to a few open response questions because your voice is the most important.
