In the previous Episode 4, Toshe discusses the culture shock of moving from a small town in Bulgaria to working in the City in London. In this episode, Toshe gives an honest, no holds barred account about his exploration of his sexuality. He discuses his first guy-on-guy experience, how he came to terms with his sexuality, the exciting world of gay hookups and what it's like to be in a committed same-sex relationshp.

Instead of a book recommendation, this week I recommend watching Queer Eye on Netflix. This show is about the Fabulous Five, five gay guys, who help individuals undergo a make-better, i.e. a makeover with heart. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't yet.

This second episode features my good friend, Leela F, who bravely opens up about her sexuality - from when she started identifying as bisexual, to her difficulties in making sexual fantasies become a reality, to her views on sexual fantasies versus relationships. We then discuss how she copes with the stress and pressures of studying/working life. Finally, we round things off by comparing our experiences of male friends or exes who consider themselves as feminists but who have said things that have struck a nerve for us.
