“We gay men are so used to the gay handshake, that all our relationships with other gay men begin with flirting or sex.”

Chris, founder, in QX Magasin

What if you could walk into a room of gay guys without working out who fancies who, and just talk to everyone?

Make friends, and maybe more.

Coming up.

So far: best men, dates, business partners, flatmates, and loads of friends. And plenty of people who just had a great time.

“The concept is the winning formula, tapping into a strong need many of us in the community have.”
Mark · Manor House
“Relaxed, real, funny. You have created something very special. Each weekend will have its own moments. That is what life should be about.”
Matt · Bristol
“Came across this amazing idea on TikTok, took a bit of a blind leap booking onto a weekend in Bath and I am so glad I did. It pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best possible way.”
Tyler · Bath

Three things people ask first.

Seriously… no sex?

Yep. No Sex Gay Weekend. Not No Sex Gay Life. This is not anti-sex. It's about changing how we look at each other, and ourselves. Connect as people first, and whatever happens after, great.

What do we actually do?

From outdoor adventures, cooking and eating together, music, activities, to social events, exploration, cultural excursions, sharing stories… it's all a pretext to get to know each other.

Sounds intense. Is there downtime?

Absolutely, and you're also free to take a break whenever you like. At our events so far, almost everyone has come alone. What's been heartwarming is to see people want to carry on after with new friends. Also, it's our job to make everyone feel welcome. You can chat to us whenever.

All the questions

Chris, to camera, from the weekends and events.

“We are here for the very first No Sex Gay Weekend, in the beautiful city of Oxford, as a group of 24 guys.”

Oxford, August 2025

“Loads of friendships were made. I don't know if people fancied each other, maybe they did.”

Oxford, the week after

“We're in the beautiful city of Bath for No Sex Gay Weekend. We had our Friday night, it was so good.”

Bath, October 2025

“You can look for mates, or you can look for dates.”

Speed dating, London, March 2026

“Fun activities in amazing locations, doing things that you don't normally do.”

Devon, Easter 2026

“Gay guys who want to make being gay nice, friendly, fun, go away feeling good about yourself, make friends.”
