My Gay Eye. SEX UTOPIA (2022)

For the 2022 issue of Mein Schwules Auge / My Gay Eye, we want to provide an open framework for the broad topic “Sex Utopia”. This comes after the success of two thematic editions, “Body Issues” and “Outdoors”, which dealt with the pandemic from different perspectives. 

Share your visions of erotic utopias, the future of sex and fashion, your unconscious wishes, dripping dreams, secret stories and the pictures that you didn’t dare to publish yet. 

Out in October 2022.
