By Callum Wells
27 November 2025 marks the launch of Attitude Uncut: Kink – a bold new chapter for Attitude magazine and our most daring issue yet, hotter than a BDSM scene in a Pulp Fiction homage.
The inaugural issue dives headfirst into queer kink culture, from Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling’s Pillion confessions to a complete A to Z.
Attitude Uncut is our new digital-exclusive magazine, published six times a year between our regular print editions. With long reads and original reporting, it’s designed for readers who want to go beyond headlines and explore the nuances of queer culture.
The launch issue’s ‘Kink’ theme is inspired by Pillion, the homoerotic road-trip film hitting cinemas on 28 November. Stars Skarsgård and Melling open up about the power dynamics, chemistry, and behind-the-scenes moments that have made the film an instant queer cult favourite.
Beyond cinema, the issue explores kink through art, photography, and culture. From Tom of Finland’s hyper-masculine vision and Matthew Ford’s most provocative images to debates on consent, aftercare, and kink at Pride, the stories celebrate sexuality in all its thrilling, messy forms.
