Fist-Book-Club is open! “A book that got a group of friends into fisting.” That is what a reader told @badalexcheves about My Love Is a Beast: Confessions, our first Fist Book Club pick. The fisting scenes are reportedly why it is banned in some places. Cheves says it was not just friends: he has heard from couples, baby gays, closeted guys, trans folks and more who got into fisting through it. It has sold on every continent except Antarctica. Have you read it? Where to get it: In Berlin at @seven.berlin, Torstraße 220, Mitte. SEVEN is also the cheapest and fastest option online for Europeans. It is also on all major platforms, including Amazon, and as an ebook. About Alexander Cheves: Memoirist and sex columnist for @outmagazine living in Berlin. His book won the 2022 Geoff Mains Nonfiction Award and he was named to the Out 100 in 2021.

A reader wants to know how to recognize manipulation before getting burned again. Alexander Cheves explains why the answer isn’t becoming less trusting — it’s knowing when to walk away. out.com/voices/go-ask-alex-g…

Why are FFers pushing ourselves so hard? Slow down! Writer @BadAlexCheves: "online culture … is running unchecked and spurring aspiring fisters to do more than they can … unrestrained competitive fisting is dangerous." out.com/relationships/go-ask… #gayfisting #gayff #extremeff

I never, ever saw myself being named on the Out100 list. Year after year, this list has been a catalogue of the most important queer voices. I’ve always been humbled by them and in awe of them. So this is a surreal experience. Thank you, @outmagazine! out.com/print/2021/11/01/mee…

Last night at Eagle, a friend searched for my book on Amazon and told me I was (again!) the #1 bestseller in this category. I had dropped from the top spot and felt certain I wouldn’t go back. Thank you 🌹

This was one of my favorite things I’ve done. @DamonLJacobs is a treasure trove of wisdom and simply a delight to talk to. Watch our soapy, naked talk about books, faith, cum, poop, body standards, and more on “Tub Talks with Damien”!
Today on Tub Talks: @BadAlexCheves "confesses" his Love Is A Beast - as well as his takes on body shaming, bottom mishaps, the fear of queer sex, pushing sexual boundaries, if God exists, and so so much more! Join us: youtu.be/5zlYmJIcThk

“Ber reminded me that we were not here to survive but to live”. Guys, be sluts. Live to be your inner slut to the fullest. @BadAlexCheves

This is fun! For #FridayReads, here’s a thread of authors promoting their work. My book is so sexually graphic that it can’t be sold in some countries — a literary memoir about god, death, and anal sex from @PressUnbound. In bookstores & Amazon: a.co/d/7J6D25M
It’s #FridayReads time! Today we boost all signals and put books in the hands of readers and remind folks books are perfect gifts. RT this and let us know what to RT for you. I’m plugging this award-winning slice of darkness because it’s 44% off! amazon.com/gp/aw/d/031642691…

Forget “demure” and “mindful,” I’m ready to be tetchy, menacing.
