FOR THE LOVE OF IT
PART 6 - LOVE ONE ANOTHER: S*X AIDS, TOYS AND GAY MALE S*XUAL INJURIES
“This is the final article in the For the Love of It series and we will be looking at s*x toys and s*xual injuries – two not always unrelated subjects. Yet, these two subjects offer encouragement to explore our s*xualities but to do so responsibly and with care. You have probably already had your own encounters with s*x toys. The s*x toys market size is valued by Grandview research at $32.7 billion in 2022 – it has exploded over recent years. It is humanity at play and attitudes towards s*x toys have changed vastly over the past couple of decades as well. S*x toys have at first been seen as a taboo, but along with p**n, attitudes towards s*x toys have shifted from a taboo to permissible and from initially being seen as the recourse of the single person to being a feature of normal s*x lives of people of all s*xual orientations and genders. Just the range of s*x toys are incredible. In this article we will be covering the basic types before looking at a few of the most common and general s*xual injuries. We encourage you to explore s*x toys for yourself, with or without a partner, solo or with someone, but as always, to do so responsibly and with care so as to avoid injuries.”

PURPLE-FLY - APRIL/MAY 2023
“Hello and welcome to Purple-Fly. Mahn, I'm so excited to share with you what I've been up to.
Ever since I discovered that I am gender fluid, back in December of 2020, I just felt it only fair to allow the portions of myself, those parts I had to hide and forget about, to come to live. Those childhood dreams and curiosities that are still relevant, I'm going after.
I had a flashback, getting caught by an older sibling, wearing their sash and tiara, and the words they uttered were: "As enige van my broers gay uit draai, ontken ek hom," I was probably 6 years old. See, I had a valid reason to forget the little girl inside of me. I remembered watching Miss SA and any other pageant I could watch with my grandmother… I'd fantasize about modelling and what it must feel like to win, wondering if I could ever have the confidence and courage. I started watching Ru-Paul's Productions and the longing to perform, model and create was revived. “

EDITOR’S PICK. FAILED BY THE SYSTEM: MY SEVEN-YEAR JOURNEY AS A GAY MAN SEEKING REFUGE IN SOUTH AFRICA
“I do not see myself as a victim, but as a survivor. I share my story to inspire and shed light on the realities of being an LGBTQIA+ migrant in South Africa. Ultimately, the system failed me, as it has many before me and continues to do so. It is common to hear stories about hate crime and the tragic demise of LGBTIA+ persons who lost their lives because of their gender identity, s*xual orientation and s*x characteristics. Unfortunately, the most improvised LGBTQIA+ persons are most affected and are slain like sheep.
The adversities I have experienced privately and publicly will not stop me from creating awareness and advocating for LGBTQIA+ human rights. As I move forward, I aim to rebuild my identity. I pray for safety, love, peace, and joy.
I am a proud, flamboyant gay man, limitless, unique, and unapologetically living as their authentic self. Something that is deeply a part of you cannot be easily shaken off of you. Now, I have the opportunity to start again, live again, to love and be loved in return. Hopefully, someday I will marry someone of my choice, support my community, and show others that embracing yourself is the greatest way to see the value of who truly is. BE YOU, BEYOND DREAMS.”

MON-D MOTADI: Chasing Dreams, the Q***r Superhero way!
“Let’s talk superheroes! No, I don’t mean the cape and costume-wearing ones who fly around saving babies from burning buildings. Let’s rather talk about the very real heroes, icons and legends in our communities or streets today. What pushes these heroines to rise from civilian to greatness? What drives and shields them from villains while changing the world around them to reflect their mission? The q***r community has produced many of these “ordinary heroes” who come in all shapes and sizes to save the world; and with April being a month celebrating freedom in South Africa, we think it’s only fitting to profile some of our own communities’ heroes who work to liberate q***r people in their work.
One such hero is the multi-dimensional, talented actor/presenter, musician, entrepreneur, and filmmaker – Raymond “Mon-D” Motadi, who is a perfect example of what a q***r superhero looks like for many in the community. We had the privilege to speak with the 27 year-old star about their new work, and what makes them such a force to be reckoned with both in entertainment as well as his life’s work; and this is what he had to say.”

“2023 is the year of connecting with others on a deeper level.
Here's how:
* Look for people who have the same interests as you in their profile. That way, you'll have a greater chance to connect over things that matter to you.
* Put some thought into the chat. Longer messages show you're genuinely interested and let them see who you really are.
* Just be you. When you're authentic, you're more likely to attract who you're looking for.”

FLASHBACK EVENT - GROOVE BIENNALE: THE ANTE EXPERIENCE. NIGHT 2 - ANTE KIKI
“Personally, the highlight of the night was definitely the educational element of the event. From the architectural elements of the venue like having gender neutral restrooms, the couch and bean bag chill area which was elevated and secluded from the rest of the venue, allowing you to choose your preferred vibe. The messaging that emphasized the importance of respecting each other, be it our boundaries or our pronouns and most importantly the lesson of self-love, authenticity, confidence and lastly the spirit of community and allyship. A round of applaud to everyone who contributed to constructing this amazing experience.”

BOOK CORNER - A COLOURED IN FULL FLIGHT: THE PATH TO SELF-ACCEPTANCE BY GEORGIE CALVERLEY
“When I finished writing the books, I felt sad and depressed, realising how much I was battered into submission by the bullies and society. Thankfully, I lived to tell my tale while many of my brothers and sisters fell under the weight of a harsh and unbending society.
For those who did their best to stifle my gay urges, human desires and natural instincts, I never fought back and in hindsight, I chose reading to keep myself from falling apart, and never did I imagine that my story would one day be read by friends and strangers. Isolating myself from the harsh and horrible surroundings, I let my mind travel and can honestly say I am happy with the journey that made me the person I am today. “

FOR THE LOVE OF IT - PART 4 - I LOVE THINE MOUTH: ORAL S*X
“This article is extensive and we’ve come far to be here, at the more salty and saucy and spicy end of things: oral s*x – by which I mean not only bl****bs but also ri***ng or “ass-eating.” If the latter subjects are distasteful to you, do leave us, but there is a joy and pleasure to be had in it available to everybody with a partner and a lover and I sincerely doubt it is seen on high as sinful, animalistic and base. I will try to convene some of the “meaning” of these acts first.
Sensual Animal and Meaningful Intimate Oral S*x: All oral s*x can be about sheer animal sensual or s*xual pleasure alone, but it can in addition also be about fully tasting and savouring your lover and partner and knowing them in a most personal and intimate manner. Oral s*x is indeed often also driven by raw animal lust (and all the more so especially if and when conducted with strangers and barely known persons during which the depth of meaningful knowing is perhaps diminished), while the latter sense of “knowing” your lover is increased and heightened when oral s*x is performed with a regular and only partner and lover in other words in a monogamous relationship. (*See Note). But let’s rather get technical and leave the opening of a moral debate by the latter considerations in check. “

FOR THE LOVE OF IT - PART 4 - I LOVE THINE MOUTH: ART OF THE KISS
“Estimation of the Mouth and its Importance in Erotic Play, Foreplay and S*x
The mouth: perhaps the most erotic of all body parts except the ge****ls. It has a crucial role in making out and foreplay leading up to as well as during s*x – and all of these procedures usually start with a kiss. The opening to foreplay and s*x might all involve touching, spoken words and a host of non-verbal signals involving the eyes and body language, but it almost certainly will either be accompanied or will soon be joined by kissing and erotic tasting and even biting or nibbling. It often proceeds to evolve into oral s*x or to result in s*x acts which include oral s*x. And a kiss might very well also end these matters and become the final act in the process of lo******ng or s*x, the concluding gesture meaning or saying “Thank you.” All of these facts emphasise the importance of the mouth in erotic physicality, in human s*xual behaviour and s*x acts – and the mouth, or use of the mouth in erotic and s*x acts, kissing and oral s*x are the subjects of this instalment of For the Love of It (Part 4).”

THE ART OF LOVE WITH BOTSHELO & BUHLEBENDALO (@BUHLEBENDALOMDA) and Botshelo (@BEESONTHECOUCH) @soft_pantsula @soilsista @beesonthecouch “The pair met thirteen years ago, while Botshelo was a fine art student and Buhlebendalo would visit their campus to take part in what was known back then as “cyphers”, as part of The Soil. Luphindo Ngxanga aka Master P, who is a member of The Soil, introduced them. For Botshelo, the attraction was instant, but Buhlebendalo admits that for her it was just purely platonic. “I didn’t know B had the biggest crush on me,” she says with a giggle. It would take years before it became evident that Botshelo wanted more. “We went on double dates, with our previous partners and spent time together.” Buhlebendalo adds. When both of their relationships ended, and they were single, they started spending more time together, comforting one another over their break-ups and reconnecting as friends. “Things started very slow because we didn’t want to destroy the friendship we had. During lockdown B confessed their love for me. The transition was easy, especially because B was everything I would want for in a friend and as a partner, they wanted me fortunately.” Buhlebendalo continues amidst giggles. “ Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2023/02/03/the-art-of-love-with-botshelo-buhlebendalo/ The Other Foundation #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #trans #loveislove #bisexual #instagay #transgender #nonbinary #drag #love #gaypride #pansexual #Siyaphela #bi #UNHRC #genderfluid #asexualgbtqia #pansexual #asexual
BLAZING TRAILS INTO 2023 “The new year always has a "new beginnings" appeal for me. The fresh start and goals to achieve in the year sprinkled with a resolution or two, seem like what the new year doctor ordered. I'm sure I'm not alone in taking this time as one to innovate a few areas in my life, right? It's a chance to attend those gym classes I signed up and never pitched for in all of 2022, or even a fresh outlook that's just what I may need to face the life-shaping challenges coming up this year. Maybe a chance to relook at my role models, to realign my own vision for the way forward, and reach even greater heights by venturing in new directions. All in all, the new year brings an opportunity to ignite my inner strength for the year ahead, a chance to see my peers excelling and charge forward on my own path knowing that my goals are tangible as well. That's why I loved getting into conversation with some fresh q***r trailblazers in the media & entertainment industry, who had their experiences and unique perspectives to share on what sets them apart and gives them the drive to be who they are at their fullest successes.” Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2023/01/06/blazing-trails-into-2023/ Lula Odiba (@LULAODIBA), Clement Lloyd Scholtz (@CLEME_CLEMS) and Mr. Allofit (@MR.ALLOFIT) The Other Foundation #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #trans #loveislove #bisexual #instagay #transgender #nonbinary #drag #love #gaypride #pansexual #Siyaphela #bi #UNHRC #genderfluid #asexualgbtqia #pansexual #asexual
YAYA’S INSPIRING MULTIVERSE “For many LGBTQIA+ people, the concept of family is wrapped up in trauma and tragedy. Many LGBTQIA+ people have often found themselves without anyone to call family as they are disowned by their families, and have had to choose between familial love and being their authentic selves. For the reality star, entrepreneur and transgender rights activist, her journey of defining family has been based on love and connection and not so much biology. “For where I come from, I used to believe family is biological but I think having gone through the journey of finding my mom, does that mean I still define my family through biology, even if I don’t know what that is? I have lived with different people who have loved more or equally as my biological family love me.

CELEBRATING SOWETO PRIDE WITH Zii MaFaku Nombande “Taking Pride's roots at heart and in celebrating this year's Soweto Pride parade, we reflect on what Pride means for all of us today in our own spaces while resonating with the message - "Sisekhona" (we are still here) as q***r folk, which also happened to be the theme of Soweto Pride this year. We speak to Siphokazi Nombande, the advocacy coordinator of the Forum for the Empowerment of Women (FEW) and one of the key organizers of Soweto Pride; taking a look at Soweto Pride's successful legacy as well as someone who champions our community by celebrating who we are and what our own q***r culture has contributed to our society. “ Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2022/11/02/celebrating-soweto-pride-with-siphokazi-nombande/ The Other Foundation #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #trans #loveislove #bisexual #instagay #transgender #nonbinary #drag #love #gaypride #pansexual #Siyaphela #bi #UNHRC #genderfluid #asexualgbtqia #pansexual #asexual

SIS TAMARA - AUTHENTIC, HONEST, REAL “A lot of celebrities become famous by accident – and sometimes they never know what to do with that fame. But, in the pool, there are people who know what to do with fame, to use it as a platform for change, for impact and sometimes to further their careers. Ukho Samela accepted entry into Big Brother South Africa’s season 3 with a clear intention – if he was going to be famous, he was going to make it count. The best way to do so was to advocate for visibility of ‘the other’. As Sis Tamara, he has managed to do that, in a way that he appreciates and hopes to further. Sis Tamara’s mission is simple – encourage authenticity, acceptance and inclusion of all forms of identities in the LGBTQ community.” Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2022/09/06/sis-tamara-authentic-honest-real/ COVER STAR: @SIS_TAMARA CREATIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR: @TANK_MAKHENE IMAGES: @LESOLE_SNAP STYLED BY: @ELLIOTJOSEPH29 DRESSED BY: @THESOURCEJOBURG MAKE-UP BY: @MOTSOTHEMUA LOCATION: @THESA_CREATIVEINDINCUBATOR WRITTEN BY: Motlatsi Motseoile #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #trans #loveislove #bisexual #instagay #transgender #nonbinary #drag #love #gaypride #pansexual #Siyaphela #bi #UNHRC #genderfluid #asexualgbtqia #pansexual #asexual

MUNEYI’S SONGS OF LOVE, LOSS AND HEALING @muneyi “It has been a year since Muneyi's debut album Makhulu was released, and for many of us it's still as healing to reflect on even today. Carrying a message of intimate love, loss, self-care and healing; Muneyi's first body of work brought a soothing fusion of neo-soul and indie folk sound in his native TshiVenda language. His subtle and emotive indigenous lyrics, as well as his tranquilizing blend of modern and traditional instrumentals brings this artist's authentic yet novel sound to the public's ears and hearts. With his reflective 'ode of love' for his own grandmother, Muneyi's music communicates of intimate introspection, healing and love in an unmistakably African way we can all resonate with. From heart-stirring songs like Ndo Mu Wana (“I have found him/her”) which tells of love and destiny, to songs like Vhuludu ("Solitude") which explore the feelings of vulnerability brought by loneliness. Muneyi's moving reflections give listeners an introspective opportunity to find deep healing through a sonic exploration of love longed for and lived in. We had the opportunity to reflect on healing through the love language brought by his music… “ Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2022/07/04/muneyis-songs-of-love-loss-and-healing/ COVER STAR: @MUNEYI_ CREATIVE DIRECTOR: @TANK_MAKHENE IMAGES: @LESOLE_SNAP STYLED BY: @ELLIOTJOSEPH29 DRESSED BY: @THEKGOSIKIMONO LOCATION: @THETROYEVILLE WRITTEN BY: SIVE MJINDI The Other Foundation #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #trans #loveislove #bisexual #instagay #transgender #nonbinary #drag #love #gaypride #pansexual #Siyaphela #bi #UNHRC #genderfluid #asexualgbtqia #pansexual #asexual
INSPIRED BY SUCCESS - LINDA MAJOLA TALK TO SIVE MJINDI “In a bold move from previous years, the South African television & film industry has recently added more members of the q***r & LGBTQI+ community onto everyday screens nationwide. From popular telenovelas/soap series to movies & cinema; q***r African artists are getting more exposure & making more narrative appearances in the public media sphere. We think this is an applaudable move as well as a meaningful offering of inclusion for the modern South African film space, which caters to larger & more diverse viewers contemporarily. While many view television & film on a daily basis, getting to know the faces & lives behind the characters may take a backseat; but we also note the frequent actors & actresses gracing our entertainment spheres to be impactful as well as educational for many viewers. One such revelation is Linda Majola, Ethekwini born TikTok-star turned actor on season 2 of Showmax's popular telenovela series 'The Wife'. While the breakout star hasn’t yet signed on for the upcoming season 3 of the show, we got in touch with him to find out what his take on being a proudly q***r, African television star means to him, and this is what he had to say.” Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2022/06/05/inspired-by-success-linda-majola-talk-to-sive-mjindi/ Creative Director: @tank_makhene Images: @lesole_snap Styled by: @elliotjoseph29 The Other Foundation #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #trans #loveislove #bisexual #instagay #transgender #nonbinary #drag #love #gaypride #pansexual #Siyaphela #bi #UNHRC #genderfluid #asexualgbtqia #pansexual #asexual
LANGA MAVUSO – A SOFT BLACK MAN Langa Mavuso “As Langa Mavuso rushes onto set, greeting everyone in his native isiZulu, slightly embarrassed by his slight lateness, there is no doubt that he is talented, confident, and the enigma around him is that of a superstar. "Sanibonani," he greets all the team members as he is swiftly rushed into make-up and wardrobe. Together with the stylist, they have settled on a bold aesthetic, one of the things that the 28 year-old, Johannesburg-born crooner is known for, his iconic fashion sense. There is no doubt that Langa is proud of his roots both as a proud Zulu man whose connection to his motherland, KZN, runs deep, but also as a city man who treats Johannesburg not only as his home, but as his playground. Today’s shoot is at Victoria Yards, a gentrified portion of Johannesburg CBD just a few miles from the National School of Arts, where Langa not only matriculated and got his head start in the performing arts, but also found his first love. Tragedy hit when his first love committed su***de, an experience that left Langa devastated and dealing with depression. But it was also that experience that pushed him to release his first EP, Liminal Sketches, an ode to his first love.” Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2022/05/03/langa-mavuso-a-soft-black-man/ Creative Director: @tank_makhene Images: @lesole_snap Styled by: @elliotjoseph29 Dressed by @cocona Africa Location: The Victoria Yards The Other Foundation #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #trans #loveislove #spar #exclusivebooks #bisexual #instagay #transgender #nonbinary #drag #love #gaypride #pansexual #Siyaphela #bi #UNHRC #genderfluid #asexualgbtqia #pansexual #asexual

LOUW BREYTENBACH WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD, AND, HE WILL… Louw Breytenbach 02 “When I finished high school there was no money for me to study further, so I took a gap year, and I wrote speeches and did drama classes for kids in the community. At first it was for me to get money for a jol and minor things but then I realised this could become a business” he shares, with a glint in his eyes. By 21, Louw had established the first community theatre in Boksburg, offering after school programmes to kids. He says it was a passion project that would keep kids busy and off the streets and all he asked from their parents were donations – from clothes, to utensils and paint – and their time. That community theatre later became known as LALT Theatre House, officially his first business. It is this very business that he ran from that age and has managed to expand that taught him the lessons he needed to learn, the same lessons that saw him question matters at the Mr Gay World organisation – questions that ultimately led to him giving up his 2021 title. “I always think of a quote by Oprah, when she says in everything you do ask yourself what is your intention. You always get pressured and stressed to make a decision – when people want an answer so quick but later it comes back to bite you in back” he reflects. He says he is never afraid of pausing to think of every opportunity and evaluating its worth – is it money or experience? That helps you make the right decision. These reflections reveal someone who has a deep sense of self and discernment, but above all – a drive that cannot be shaken.“ Read the full story here: https://exit.co.za/2022/04/02/louw-breytenbach-wants-to-change-the-world-and-he-will/ Written by: Motlatsi Motseoile Creative Director: @tank_makhene Images: @lesole_snap Styled by: @elliotjoseph29 Dressed by @tovch_ Location: The Victoria Yards The Other Foundation #q***r #EXIT #EXITNEWSPAPER #gay #lgbtg #lgbtqia #pride #le***an #t
