If you’re at Blokes Base in Istria, sun warming your skin, the Adriatic sparkling beyond the terrace, and a glass of wine in hand, it’s the perfect moment to pick up a few great gay reads.
Why not grab a pair of footy shorts, maybe some lube for extra… inspiration, haha, and settle in with a story or two? With the right mood, your hand might wander, and anyone passing by could be treated to a little hint of what’s underneath.
Here’s what we suggest:
1. Invisible Boys by Holden Sheppard
A coming-of-age story that’s smart, sexy, and sometimes painfully real. Perfect for those moments when a line lands just right, and you might feel a little… responsive.
2. Holding by Graham Norton
Tender, emotional, and full of longing. Curl up on the terrace cushions and let Norton’s characters pull you in. Some passages are so stirring that a little private attention feels natural.
3. Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
Funny, witty, and full of charm. Great for bursts of laughter between terrace dips or while letting your imagination roam a little further than the plot.
4. Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman
A beautifully erotic, intensely sensual story. Perfect for the terrace, where the sun, the sea, and a touch of imagination make the longing and desire practically… tangible.
5. Something Bold (short stories or novellas)
Raw, unapologetic, and often steamy, from authors like Dino Falconi or up-and-coming queer voices. Best enjoyed with the breeze on your skin, a drink nearby, and maybe a hand exploring along with the narrative.
How to Enjoy Them at Blokes Base
- Footy shorts and imagination are the ultimate reading accessories. Let the story guide your hand and enjoy the occasional glance from the terrace.
- A touch of lube can make the experience a little more… immersive.
- Mix your reads: funny, sexy, and emotional. Some lines will make you gasp, some make you grin in ways others might notice.
- Don’t rush. Part of the pleasure is letting the terrace, the sun, and the sea air set the scene.
At Blokes Base, it’s not just about books. It’s about relaxing, indulging, and letting the stories mingle with your own private adventures. Grab your next read, your footy shorts, maybe a little lube, and let the stories—and your imagination—run wild.
