10/03/2018: XXL shows no sign of slowing down any time soon! Each and every Saturday, the cavernous arches are filled with bears in braces, bears in harnesses, and bears in nothing but Chanel No. 5, all revelling in the extra-large gay madness they serve up for ya. We don’t want to sound like one of those people who are always going on about how apps are ruining the gay scene (they’re not), but there are some things you can’t replicate behind a screen. One of those things is the collective explosion of a throbbing crowd of topless guys as Paul Morrell drops another banger. Until VR improves, you’re going to have to seek out that euphoria at XXL!
