Sniffies is Bringing Gay Sex to SXSW Panel
Out Traveler the panel will examine existing attitudes on male sexuality, challenge the rigid binary of sexual identity, and examine the role of social media in breaking past traditional boundaries of male sexual expression.“We’re hoping to challenge an outdated and outmoded version of masculinity that so many people uphold as the standard for men,” Martin tells Out Traveler via email. “The time is ripe to open a conversation about reinventing a masculinity that is non-toxic; a new masculinity that holds space for people of all sexual and gender identities.”The panel will feature actor, writer, producer, and author Jacob Tobia (Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story); Zachary Zane, the Brooklyn-based activist, sex expert, and author of the “Sexplain It” Men’s Health sex advice column; and author, fetishist, and 2021 Out100 honoree Alexander Cheves.The pairing of Sniffies and the “Tech and the New Fluidity of Male Sexuality” panel discussion is a perfect fit, according to Martin.“Sniffies is proud to be a space where our users can express their entire authentic selves outside of the rigorous censorship promoted by other platforms,” Martin says.
