It's All In The DETAILS

Another Details magazine hit my mailbox the other day.

As always, it never fails to print some thought provoking articles definitely with a gay male slant.

This article which I am about to comment about, is something on the line of my recent Buck Angel post. However these guys are men, not trannies, but men with a big problem. These guys featured have such a sex drive in wanting to fuck a guy that they choose to have their sex castrated. Yes, you read that right, they put their manhood on the chopping block, so to speak.

One of the guys interviewed was quoted as saying, "God wanted me castrated or else I wouldn't get into heaven." Oh brother, so much for saying our prayers and doing good deeds.

There are more than 50,000 of these procedures done each year by American men. God, can't these guys find another way to release their urges. Sure we all got a very healthy sex drive, but it seems that these guys have concluded that there is no other way to stop this than by having their schlong cut off.

Doing so does have its side effects. Guys face osteoporosis, weight gain, loss of muscle mass and man boobs. And these are side effects when a skilled surgeon performs an operation. A botched castration can lead to death and if you do survive this kind of knifing, the mutants face an entire more horrifying set of demons. These sadomasochists just love to slice these guys up, and more than likely, a botched up castration is a sure fire way to end up humiliated at the local emergency room.

Some of this is done for the purpose of living "a shear fantasy". The reader "meets" "Steve" who had it done because his boyfriend wanted it. The boyfriend sees castration as a sign of perfection. You think the boyfriend also had his dick chopped off. Oh no, he wanted Steve to do it to carry out his own fantasys. What sick minds there are out there. And these poor mixed up souls go through with it to please their men.

So because they feel that sex is running their lives, they feel that castration is their only salvation for allowing them to lead "normal" lives. I think that living a life like this, without your dick, is living your own hell on earth.

The article ended with a profile of Chris. He got his "fix" as a Christmas present to himself. He says instead of hours on the internet, he can now watch the shirtless hunks on "Lost". And he just met an incredible guy. He says, "He, (the new guy) is perfectly fine with the change I've made." Which isn't surprising, he's a eunuch too. And guys like Chris, keep their "leftovers", their cut off testicles as sort of a remembrance. Now this is about the sickest thing I have ever read. But for Details readership, we are being educated with more information than I think is necessary. Afterall, I guess, this kind of "in your face" journalism drives sales.

What these guys needed was another guy who might have given them the love they desperately needed. Perhaps the "right" man might have persuaded them to curtail their sexual drive, with passion and love, exchanging quality for quantity. Then maybe not. I am ever the eternal optimist. I sure hope these guys can live with themselves. They endured perhaps the cruelest cut of all.

Tids and Bits, This and That, Odds and Ends

Since we all have recovered from Dead Eye Dick Cheney's follies in recent weeks, I thought I touch briefy on several gay male stories circulating on the web:

HOT TOPIC 1: The Institute for Gay Men's Health has launched a safer sex website catering to younger gay men. The site is called: http://www.mysexycity.com

The L.A. based group has decided to focus attention to high risk groups of gay men and bisexuals, 18-29. The interactive nature of the animated site enables the visitor to click on various scenarios. It incorporates an animated cast of characters according to types of gay men found in our gay culture. It is definitely a step in the right direction. It shows guys having sex as well as practicing unsafe sex under risky behavior scenarios. I will have to check it out again when the site is updated to include an online connection.

HOT TOPIC 2

In other interesting research conducted on gay men and sex, researchers at Utrecht University in Amstedam found that penis size is very important to gay self esteem. The researches questioned 251 gay men and the group's average age was 29.

In interviews conducted and summarized, the study concluded that these gay men perceived that the larger their cock, the more confident they were both in lovemaking and life in general.

It was also found that tahe majority of gay men believed that a large cock was the major aattrtaction for potential sexual partners. Also the researchers found that after a large cock, these guys listed important body parts as their stomachs and their skin.

While size has its attribute, it isn't the most critical contribution in having great protected sex.
It's how you use it that matters. Also I would have listed nipples and pecs as other parts of the male anatomy as attractions with body hair rounding out this "wish" list.

Stay warm, sexy, and just the way you are. WOOF.

You Read It Here First, Or Maybe Not

That dude pictured on the right is a female-to-male transsexual porn star who's billed as "a real man with a real cunt". This does give new meaning to the term, "going through a phase".

See Buck Angel here is cashing in on unchartered porn territory, according to him. He describes himself growing up as the "proverbial straight guy trapped in a butch woman's body".

After transitioning ( going through the male hormones and breast reduction route), Buck became a "one of a cunt porn icon, not only making movies with gay men (among others), but making them largely for gay men.

Buck says that he is singlehandedly breaking down gay men's phobias in matters involving pussy and vaginas.
Quoting him, Gay men "finding me hot doesn't make them "not gay", because as you can see, I'm totally a man- I just happen to have a vagina." So as the saying goes in this case, and I can't take credit for it, for with Buck Angel, he believes that "two holes are better than one".

Buck bills himself as a hot, sexy guy with a serious following, and according to him, "never has to fake orgasms." This guy is definitely out of the box. He/she also supports the leather community. I would think there would be some controversy however, if he competed in International Male Leather.

This all goes to show that something or someone might not exactly be what he/she appears to be. Buck specializes in threesomes. No surprise here. Any takers?

Feels Like a Dusty Kind of Day

I'd like to share with you a little secret of mine, I am a big fan of Dusty Springfield. For me, she is the ultimate female singer. Her vocal range in outstanding. She helped me get over my operation by always being there at the flick of the CD player.

Anyway, to my surprise, I found out that the musical, "Dusty, the Original Pop Diva" is playing to smash reviews and critical acclaim in Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is my absolute favorite best city I have ever visited. Too bad, I'm not well enough to travel that 15 hour flight from LA to Sydney and then connecting to Melbourne. If it was another time in my life, I'd find a way to do so. But for now, I got to hope that this smash musical finds its way to North America.

Check out the review at http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,17810201^2862,00.html

The lady went through a life of ups and downs, struggling to accept being gay. But she finally controlled all her demons, was living a great life, accepted unconditionally by her adoring fans until she lost her battle with breast cancer in 1999. She is an inductee of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. So little wonder, there is now a musical portraying and celebrating her life.

Yesterday, after coming in from reving up and using the snow thrower, I laid back on the sofa and had a Dusty moment. Of course I own a CD box set of her greatest recordings spanning the eras from the early 60's through the mid 90s. Her voice only got better with time. She could sing someone else's ballad and make it her own. She was the Diva of Divas and the Queen of White Soul, all wrapped up in one unique package. Both Aretha and Dionne Warwick were jealous of her. Even Cher learned a lot from Dusty, adopting some of her movements and making them her own. But Cher nor the rest of them could never attain the greatness of Dusty Springfield. She was a favorite of Burt Bacharach. She made "The Look of Love" her own. Her album, "Dusty in Memphis" is constantly listed on almost everyone's top 50 list. Her "Son of a Preacher Man" still gives me chills even though I have listened to it hundreds of times.

I could go on and on about Dusty. Judge her for yourself. And if you feel a little bluesy, download any of her recordings, and you'll discover or rediscover what her fans everywhere acknowledge as the best female pop singer ever.

Sinful Delights: Sweet, Sexy Treats to Pleasure That Special Man on Valentine's Day

I've been giving Valentine's Day some thought on this Super Bowl Sunday afternoon. Daddy Cupid has asked me to be one of his arrow guys on Valentine's Day. Of course, I accepted. Not having being able to be one of Daddy Santa's helpers got me down. But now, with a purpose, I am definitely feel a whole lot better. Hope I can live up to the task.

So what are you going to do to make that special man in your life feel extra special on the 14th? I suggest some or all of the following:

I bought several boxes of what the manufacturer calls, "Precious Petals" You can get them at various chain craft stores. They are distributed by Hirshberg, Schutz and Co. These are boxes of 300 silk rose petals that you can set the mood with. I suggest scattering from the entry door to the bedroom and then layering the bedtop with them. This definitely creates the mood for some passionate lovemaking.

Wearing a pair of pullaway warmups with a red jockstrap underneath would provide for that unexpected moment as well. Your white Bike jockstrap could be worn as well, maybe adding some iron-on hearts or cupids would add to the occasion. If you got the time, go for it. Remember, it's the thought that counts.

I'm an advocate of edible sweet treats used for sucking and smearing on the naked male body.
I found these edible body icings that are consistent in texture to make some after dinner foreplay more than memorable, and without adding any calories. These can be found in various flavors at
http://www.ebubbles.com or at http://www.marshallfields.com

Also the well known and yummy standby, whipped cream on a stiff cock can also be part of the fun. I suggest the Reddi-Whip aerosol can variety and a bottle of maraschino cherries, with the stems. Putting the cherry in your mouth dangling it from the stem and dropping it onto the body icing, whipped cream cock sundae will bring pure pleasure for both of you with every delectable lick.

Hoping this gives you some delicious ideas to make your Valentine's Day enjoyable and pleasurable. I know VDay falls on a weekday this year. That's why it's even more important that Daddy Cupid spreads as much safer mansex love around as possible. So guys, it's up to you to make your cutie pie feel like your studmuffin. Try to go beyond the box of candy and flowers this year. Doing something personal from the heart is the truest way of saying, "I love you".

Are You Guys Ready For Some Football?

Super Bowl Sunday for me is a day to chill out. I usually stay home. I used to head to the bars and watch the game, but it became more of a drag. The guys at the bar usually only wanted to watch half time stuff.

I like to watch the game and look for some hot butt. That's about all us guys can hope for. That's why I enjoy watching Aussie Rules Football more. These guys play in shorts and alot of them have awesome legs as well as cute butts. Being a hairy leg and hairy bubble butt guy, their muscular thighs and great spirit or spurt of sport gets me in the mood. Also I enjoy watching competitive swimming like these guys pictured here are doing or all they cruising? They look like they are ready to tackle each other.

I'd like to see the Steelers win. Since they represent the East Coast and they are the underdogs, they seem more determined to win. I remember their reign of terror in the late 70's. Yep, my love for football goes way back. I used to collect molded plastic figures of football players growing up.
Close up you could get a nice view of some butt and thigh, and even touch it. Maybe that's how I became a butt and leg guy. The sport I really like is Buff's rules for foreplay and man on man sex. In that competition, every guy wins. I guarantee that. WOOOF.
