Blowoff queen

When this guy showed up in the chat room I put him on my gay.com “hot list” because he looked really sexy (with a nice mustache!) in his main picture on gay.com. (Not this one!) It soon became clear that he had an agenda when he almost instantly started mouthing off, out of nowhere, about how “ironic” it is that Madonna is more popular with gay men than Bob Mould is. OK, first of all, there’s nothing ironic about it. Really. Nothing at all. Second, are gay men supposed to flock to Bob Mould simply because he’s a gay man? In my opinion, he hasn’t made a good record since 1985 when Hüsker Dü were still Hardcore and, last time I checked, Bob Mould wasn’t actually popular with anyone. Why pick on gay men for not liking him? No one likes him. Besides, he sings like he’s got a hankie in his throat. When several chatters pointed some of these things out to Mr. Fixit, he retreated, saying, “I’m sorry I brought it up.” I bet.

The butcher-than-thou attitude from these Blowoff queens is really tiresome. Blowoff is probably really fun, and the audience have nice hairy faces and hard muscles, but it’s still just a circuit-style dance party with a couple of famous DJs. They play Madonna and even Britney! Please, get over yourselves. As much as I wish they did, muscles and beards (and Black and Decker cordless drills, for that matter) do not make you masculine.

Then I read his obnoxious, judgmental (I know, pot/kettle) profile, which I’ve posted in edited form below, and saw his other incredibly silly picture, above. I swear, It looks like something from bad calendar from the 80s. (Love the Daisy Dukes, honey!) Totally embarrassed, I removed him from my list immediately. Sadly, he could still see that I had added him in the first place. The limits of technology continue to vex me.

Please note: He’s already won the crunchy race! He says he “was ‘crunchy’ long before you,” so there’s no point even trying. Of course, none of the gay men reading his profile could be nearly as evolved as he is. Please. And don’t forget to “gush” at dinner.

I go to school, I am butch, smart, take care of my body, my mind and my soul....do you?

Carry on a conversation for more than 3 lines. Challenge my mind, not my dick. Do not pretend to want to get to know me if you dont read anything on my profile. You will add illiterate to other derogatory words. If all you want are pics to look at you damn well better have some in return. You will notice I do not ask for pictures and that is because I am more interested in who you are than what you look like.

What I'm Looking For
A man who is not needy, a guy who knows how to do butch things and doesnt feel bad about it. I am not overcompensating, I just dont care to talk endlessly about shit on TV that has no substance. A guy who is a prince on the street and can be a pig in the bedroom. A guy who I could take home to my mom (if she were here) and she would like, cuz I am that guy for him. Someone who likes to snuggle with the pups, prune the dogwood, and gush when a good meal is made for both of us.....

Ask Me About
Please don's start off asking me about my sexual role.

I was 'crunchy' long before you were.

Bob Mould, who is a SINGER he is also queer as hell., Richard Morel who is Bob's 'Partner',

I love this dude and his homosound....Bob Mould, huskerdu, sugar, copperblue, body of song, last dog and pony show, circle of friends...DISTRICT LINE......don't make me cry any more.....moving vans.

Ask Me About
Ask me about me, not the size of my dick, whether I am circumcised or not (it is not 'cut' or 'uncut' -- that is an absolutely disgusting question to ask someone you are not face to face with. If all you are shopping for is a fuck, this store is closed to you. I am an intelligent, hardworking sincere, funny, creative, interesting man. I can frame a house or hang an IV.

Hobbies
I fuckin get HARD over ICE HOCKEY.

Music
BOB MOULD, RICH MOREL, BLOWOFF DC
TV and Film
do not ask me if I watch QAF, Queer Eye, yada....I try to fill my head with good stuff, not garbage. I do not play or like video games (maybe Wii).

I’m listening to “Concrete and Clay” by Unit 4+2 from The British Invasion: History of British Rock, Vol. 6.

Cruising on the iPhone!

During my most recent trip to Atlanta I was lucky enough to get to test a pre-release of Grindr. I think it’s the very first gay  hook-up  social networking app for the iPhone. Grindr uses the iPhone’s GPS capabilities to find the men closest to you. Users can chat and, with the usual iPhone camera/photo integration features, trade pics. The UI is really nice and navigation is easy. Best of all, it’s FREE! Nice job, guys!

Apple has approved the app, so now you can grab it yourself at the App Store. There are already a bunch of guys using it in Philly. The closest one is only 1,300 feet away!

I’m listening to “Raining Dub” from Blind Idiot God by Blind Idiot God.

Demonstration

There was a pro-Palestinian demonstration, if that’s even the proper terminology, on JFK Boulevard this afternoon. The men in the crowd were beautiful! There were flags waving and keffiyat blowing all over the place in the wind and cold. This guy’s not only really cute but the combination of his hat and shirt made me laugh. (You can click on him for a larger picture.)

The location of the demo, across from a high-rise that that used to be inhabited mostly by older Jewish people, seemed strange to me. I think that population is declining lately for a lot of reasons. The building is called a “managed community” now and is marketed to everyone, so who the fuck knows? (I do know one guy who lives in the building and he’s certainly not a Jewish senior.) Anyway, I thought it was kind of interesting that the protest was directed at a group of regular citizens instead of a government agency, person or program. Maybe they just decided to yell at the people who would be most annoyed by the noise.

UPDATE: The demonstration was outside the office of the Consulate General of Israel at 1880 JFK Blvd. That makes more sense, even though the protesters were aiming their speakers and bullhorns away from the building toward the residences across the street.

Men on the beach

A friend invited me to spend the weekend at his place in Delaware, just outside of Ocean City MD. We drove to Gordon’s Pond in Rehoboth DE to go to the beach where I took a bunch of pictures, mostly of guys skimboarding, which I posted to flickr. I thought these three men were attractive in different ways. (You can click on any of them to see bigger pics on flickr.) The man in the middle is my personal favorite but I figured the young, fit guy on the left has the most “commercial” look so he’d be the most popular and the emaciated one on the right would be, let’s say, “an acquired taste.” It turns out the opposite is true! The dangerous-looking, goateed man on the right has gotten almost three times as many hits as the skimboarder and he’s been favorited a couple of times. Go figure. My poor muscleman in the center falls around the middle in popularity.

I’m listening to “H.” from Ænima by Tool.

Shithead, right?

This was sent to me by someone I’ve never met on gay.com. I’ve said “Hello” to HeyMary and he was cordial enough, and said he liked The High-Strung Loner, while being clear that he wasn’t interested in hooking up. That’s fine. Luckily I haven’t had to interact with hondafvr (below), though I’ve already chatted with with too many just like him.

hondavfr800: youre a butch guy...why the fem nickname?
HeyMary: How do you know I’m butch?
hondavfr800: lol ah but i can read- unless u checked the masculine/ butch box accidentally
HeyMary: Alright. I did it to make people type the name.
hondavfr800: as good a reason as any…so you are butch then...
HeyMary: I’m not into chatting, I know that.
hondavfr800: k-then why would u be in a chatroom?
HeyMary: I’m here for sex.
hondavfr800: hmmm…ok. well that cuts to the chase. all good brotha
HeyMary: Have a good night. Brotha.
hondavfr800: should double the dose on your meds…
HeyMary: Those kind of comments from bitchy queens like you are the main reason I don’t engage in the main chat room. Goodnight.
hondavfr800: brings us back to step 1…how do you know i’m butch…wouldnt imagine u get too much sex- place 4 u is a bathhouse with low lighting and no convo
HeyMary: You keep typing catty remarks if you want. I have things to do. Have a good night.
hondavfr800: it says youre intelligent- if u were really intelligent yod just hit the ignore button- then u wouldnt have to read my truths
hondavfr800: jewish right?

Actually, HeyMary is Portuguese/American.

Several nights later:

Non-judgemental?

AnFCub caught my eye despite the fact that he named himself after a clothing store for 20-somethings. Sadly, on reading his profile, what I mistook for a sexy, evil glint in his eyes turned out to be the haughty glare of arrogance.

          NOT single, NOT lookin’…

That’s OK.

I won’t judge your “open” relationship if you don’t judge my “CLOSED” one...

Fair enough, but…

“Isn't delayed gratification the definition of maturity?” - C. Bradshaw

Excuse me but isn’t that judging? Besides, no it’s not the definition of maturity except maybe to an extremely unrealistic fictional character who, in my opinion, always acted more like a gay man than a woman in the first place.

Morgan Spurlock

I remember seeing Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me in this outfit and thinking he looked like a natural. It was in the opening sequence of the first episode of his great 30 Days series on FX and I hadn’t seen it since it was originally broadcast. I grabbed these screen shots from hulu.com which kind of sucks but it’s got lots of vintage and current NBC shows for free with fucking commercials. (By the way, this kind of site is exactly what the writers who are on strike are asking to be—and should be—paid for.) Anyway, I’ve heard through the internets (and The Crusher) that he dumped that vegan girl a while back and became a Friend of Dorothy which we knew he was all along, didn’t we?

What-EV-rrr!

I’m still in Atlanta. Keith is doing so well that I felt I could go out on Friday night without feeling like I was abandoning him. He agreed and handed me the keys to his car.

Earlier in the day I chatted online with Anthony, a Latin guy. That’s his beautiful ass there on the left. We’ve been wanting to get together for a couple of months and luckily we were both available Friday night. He called around 6:45. (I don’t know why but, even after all the time I’ve spent in Atlanta, I’m still surprised when guys have southern accents!) He said he was going out for drinks at Blake’s with a couple of friends and asked if we could get together at 9:00. I didn’t have a problem with that but after I hung up I said to Keith, “How much you want to bet this guy doesn’t call anytime near nine o’clock?” He pooh-poohed my cynicism.

I was right. At 11:30 I got in the car intending to go to the Atlanta Eagle for a bit and then to Flex baths. The phone rang when I was only a block from the apartment. Anthony asked if it was too late and I said no but I could tell he was pretty drunk, just as I expected. He said he’d call back when he got home which he must have been standing right outside of because less than two minutes later the phone rang again. I told him I could tell he was drunk, sloppy even, which he denied and I said that I would rather not play. I got off the phone quickly. He called back immediately. I told him that I didn’t really want to talk while I was driving, especially in a city I don’t know very well. I said, “I’m hanging up now,” and I did even though he was still talking. He called right back again! I didn’t answer. Of course he had to leave a message. Here it is:

After finally remembering to listen to it a few hours later I was really glad I didn’t get together with him and would have been even if he didn’t say that he was late because he stayed to see the drag show!

“What-EV-rrr!”

Sniper

From gay.com chat: The man who accuses everyone else of sniping once again sticks his colossal proboscis where it has no business. At least the other guys are funny.

Buster214: gay and reliable?
rickw82: i’m gay and reliable
bioman85: that only makes me semi-hard
rickw82: the rest he can make up for with technique
Buster214: semi athletic means i dont play any sports but go to the gym
rickw82: i’m not in very good shape but i’m pretty athletic
bioman85: semi-hard means i dont have a full erection
rickw82: you give me half of your gym muscles and i’ll give you 1/4 of my athleticisim
howardn: why dont you just get your own gym muscles then
rickw82: takes work
howardn: so you are opposed to work?
howardn: why would anyone want to be on a softball team with you then
rickw82: well some types of work are more motivating than others. i’ll go hit softballs for an hour but i don’t want to spend an hour lifting weights
howardn: but you expect others to do it. hmmmmmm
rickw82: they wouldn’t play softball if they didn’t want to, because i expected them to
howardn: not talking about playing softball. you said “you give me half of your gym muscles and i’ll give you 1/4 of my athleticisim”
rickw82: firstly it was a joke. it’s not like you can even strike deals like that
howardn: but you want gym muscles on others
rickw82: if we are going to quote me.....
howardn: but dont want to do a 1/4 of the work yourself to get them you said “i want big strong muscular guys to start a softball team with or little skinny puney fem ones as long as they are good at softball” but then you didnt say give me your puney femness and I will give you 1/4 of my athleticism did you?
rickw82: well the puney fem would make the deal. he’ll give 1/4 of his athelticism for 1/2 the muscle
howardn: keep trying to backtalk yourself out of it
rickw82: i’ll argue all night. i’m good for that
howardn: why dont you just get offline and start working on your own gym muscles
rickw82: especially if it’s something silly like this
howardn: if you think your fat outofshapeness is silly, sobeit
rickw82: you’re obviously more concerned with it than i am
howardn: someone should be. the growing obesity of America is frightening
rickw82: i mean lets be fair, i’m not 500 pounds. i’m not 180 or 190 like i should be but i’m not so bad off
howardn: have you seen your pics?
rickw82: i’d say they are as good as yours.
howardn: you have breasts bigger than half the models on PROJECT RUNWAY
rickw82: and i find you equally unattractive
yngphillywrestler: howard reminds me of vincent price playing egghead on the old 60s batman tv show.
howardn: and I would love to see his “athleticism” in action. going up a flight of stairs without becoming winded doesnt quite count
rickw82: what would the challenge be? i mean i can’t rock climb or run marathons but i can hit softballs and catch
howardn: and eat the most hotdogs in 5 minutes
rickw82: what’s your talent?
southphilhottie: wait! time out! what started this feud?
rickw82: some off-hand comment i made
southphilhottie: ohh

Backstage

I was in Atlanta most of last week staying with a friend. He was directing a porn film for Cruising For Sex on Saturday on which I was one of the cameramen.

A couple of weeks ago Keith asked me to meet with one of the guys he wanted to hire for the film because he hadn’t had the chance to see him in the flesh. Turns out he was exactly what Keith was looking for. He’s 21 and looks 15, certainly not someone I would have cast but it wasn’t up to me.

About a week before the shoot, Keith shipped to me the Canon HV20 HD camera I’d be using so I could test it out. It was fucking tiny! Every little hand movement was magnified visually and the on-board mic picked up the sound of any camera control I used. The image quality was amazing, though, and the 24P image was even better, so we decided to use it. The size of the camera would be a real advantage since we were shooting a gloryhole video and it would be a tight squeeze.

I arrived in Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon. I really like visiting Atlanta and especially visiting Keith and it was really good to see how well he was doing with his chemo. It was nice that my visit, aside from the work involved, was “normal” and I didn’t have to worry about Keith’s health. I even went out alone one night but that’s another story.

We spent Thursday and Friday testing and setting up the lighting that he bought; doing a little carpentry work and preparing the space for the movie. (Keith should thank the good lord that unions aren’t involved in porn, if you get my drift.) We shot the movie using Keith’s own home gloryhole. It’s in his office which conveniently has it’s own street entrance from the rest of his apartment.

It was ambitious to shoot all four scenes in one day but we managed to do it—and on schedule, too! It was a really exhausting day, though. I was assigned to shoot the “guest” side of the gloryhole and the other cameraman Robbie shot the “home” side. My side of the partition was smaller so the tiny camera was an advantage. Robbie had a really sexy professional Sony HD camera which I coveted.

Robbie was also performing in one of the scenes, getting sucked and fucking the bottom through the gloryhole. According to him—and I have no reason to doubt him—he’s heterosexual and this was his very first time fucking a man. This guy could make a fortune in gay porn. He’s fucking adorable, really nice and not a narcissistic asshole, either. He’s not usually what I go for, only hairy below the waist (those muscular legs!) and he’s clean-shaven and not even gay but, hey, you can’t have everything.

Keith had an amazing amount of delicious food from My Girlfriend’s Kitchen available all day long for the cast and crew: corn spoon bread, sweet potatoes with brown sugar crust, Mexican lasagna, chicken satay and more but most of the actors brought their own protein bars and stuck to those. Crazy.

Things went really well most of the day. One guy couldn’t get hard (Yes, that’s like a bank teller with no cash.) and spent, I thought, an unusually long time in the bathroom but (but who am I to talk?) The scene was “re-written” and by the end of it he was hard anyway and pounding ass like a champ.

We had a long break before the last scene we shot which featured a guy who I’d seen in some other films and didn’t have a very good impression of. I thought he was hot enough and he certainly has a big dick but I figured he’d be a kind of pretentious overly macho-acting ass. I couldn’t have been more wrong. What a nice, friendly, naturally masculine guy! We had to wait a while for him to shoot his load but I didn’t mind sitting around watching him stoke. Not at all. The bottom brought down what looked like a Fisher-Price My First DVD Player for him to watch and he insisted on bareback videos, poo-pooing the musclebound Titan Men title that was already in the machine. When he was ready to shoot we all had to jump quickly back into our positions at the gloryhole. And we were done. Thank god he didn’t take much longer, too, because I was starting to doze off.

Everyone left, Keith and I went to sleep almost immediately. I made a half-hearted attempt to look for dick online but I knew my body wouldn’t do whatever I would be asking to do, so I gave up pretty quickly.

Sunday afternoon the cast and crew who hadn’t yet left town went out to breakfast in the Little Five Points section of Atlanta. It’s charming in a Haight-Ashbury kind of way with not a chain store in sight. It was really refreshing.

Earlier in the day the bottom referred to me as “elderly” and said University City was “the suburbs” in two incredibly condescending and lame attempts at humor. (FYI he lives in the “Art Museum Area,” the neighborhood that doesn’t even have a name, which is actually farther from the 2 blocks-square “gayborhood” than I am in UCity.) I don’t have an issue with my age but I do have a problem with cliched, catty gay humor. If I had been in my own home I would have reacted differently. Since my options were limited, I was a guest in someone else’s home and I am certainly more expendable as a crew member than he is as a cash cow, I went out onto the balcony and made a phone call, trying to remember that he is only 21 years-old. Maybe he was intimidated by the fact that the next youngest person was 15 years older than he was. Maybe.

My flight back to Philly consisted of a gate change, a half-hour delay after boarding, another half-hour delay when a passenger had a seizure before take-off and an hour wait for a gate after we arrived in Philly. The woman who had the seizure and was removed from the flight was at baggage claim before we were!! Thankfully, cast member Larry was on the same flight and gave me a ride home in his luxurious Jaguar. Nice!

Busted!

A friend of mine from New Orleans wrote to me last night. He saw my name on a hook-up web site and we had been out of touch for a while. I was really glad to hear from him and I mentioned that we had another friend in common. This was his reply:

WARNING! That “upstairs tenant,” (“Rayne,” Mark Smith, whatever) is one thieving junkie. Do not let him in your home! D and I took pity on him when he was “breaking up” with his BF here and was kicked out into the street. Fun fuck and seemingly had his shit together. Introduced him to friends who he’d trick with but became especially attached to the owner (since hurricane) of the Phoenix [great NOLA bar w/back room -hsl], Bobby. Things started disappearing from the start - toys, leather, DVD/CDs, and little baggies of Miss T and shots of caverject. Initially blamed tricks who attended play parties but then Bobby and I talked and same shit at his house. When Rayne/Mark was gone out we inspected his space upstairs. JACKPOT! D’s, Bobby’s, mine and who knows who else’s stuff. Subsequently have met others who also had their own stories. Immediate eviction upon his return - excuse? “I was only borrowing the stuff. I should've asked permission I guess” Within days he disappeared from N.O. and I noted his profile lists Philly as his new home/crime scene…so be warned! Sorry to discuss the unpleasantries, but your message necessitated a prompt warning. Pass along to any who may become his next prey. The whole episode left me quite bitter; (DUH!) open one's home to help someone and they shit in one’s helping hand. At least he didn’t make off with some favorite toys, leather, DVD/CDs, but a small fortune of recreational materials have fallen down a deep hole of a junkie.

I really don’t think I need to add anything here except that this explains why “rayne” never bothered to say hello to his landlord/fuck buddy from me during the course of his several months in New Orleans. Luckily, I guess, we’ve never met in person.

Southern hospitality

My experience in Atlanta is that people are unfailingly polite. Being who I am and a northeasterner, though, I love to complain and focus on the negative. It seems youngsters online—and by that I mean gay men under 30—are just as rude here as they are in Philly. Also, question marks seem to have gone the way of the Dodo Bird.

This came out of nowhere on Manhunt:

          bigdickcountryboy (photo left): u want some
          HighStrungLoner: nope
          bigdickcountryboy: why not u said u did last week
          HighStrungLoner: i don't think so

Muscles

I’ve been visiting Atlanta for over a week and, as I said before, have been concentrating on posting many years’ worth of my photos on flickr. I’ve also been having lots of sex. Between the fact that I’m still considered “new meat” here and that there are more gay men here per capita than in San Francisco, my head is spinning. I’ve been taking full advantage, believe me. Last night was one of the best, not just of the week, but ever.

As everyone probably knows by now, I really like guys with hairy chests and faces. I’ll do without the body hair in a pinch as long as it’s not shaved, though. Consequently I’m rarely attracted to Asian or black guys. (Before anyone starts name-calling, I said “rarely” not “never.” I’ve had lots of fun with all kinds of men. In fact, just before I left Philly I got together with a nicely hairy, fun and very cute guy of mixed-asian descent. I’m hesitant to write about it for a couple of reasons and certainly not because we didn’t enjoy ourselves.) Anyway, there’s an “Ethnicity: Mixed,” sort of Asian-looking guy on Manhunt who was being very persistent. His pictures are OK, a little hair on the chin of a nice face and very smooth. He isn’t what I normally go for so I kept putting him off because, being new in town, something more like my “type” would eventually show up. (Wow. Did that sound arrogant or what? Trust me, I know that if I lived here, the honeymoon would be over pretty quickly but it’s sure fun being popular while it lasts!) Late last night/early this morning I found myself sitting at the computer with an unusually persuasive erection and he messaged me again. “I want to serve you with both of my holes.” Sure thing! He was parking his car outside and dialing my number within ten minutes!

I went out to meet him. First of all, his face was stunning. I could tell that from 20 feet away as he walked toward me from the parking lot. As soon as we got inside his mouth was on mine and his fingers were playing with my nipples. I don’t know how but I think he took his shirt off without removing his tongue from my mouth or his hands from my chest. Holy Mother of God! What a body. His upper body (He hadn’t taken his pants off yet) was just about perfect and his dark skin showed it off so very nicely. Broad shoulders, sexy traps, punchable pecs, all in a perfect v-shape. I recovered my thought processes enough to stutter “Let’s go upstairs.” On our way to the bedroom I made sure he noticed the sling in the living room.

I removed my shirt but I didn't have time to take off my pants or adjust the light in the bedroom before he was naked, kissing me and grabbing my crotch. I didn't even have time to see what the rest of him looked like, not that it mattered. With no help from me my pants were unzipped and my dick was in his hand, then in his mouth. He held the head in his throat, even with the PA in, without missing a beat. All I could do was moan.

I managed to get my pants and shoes off as he moved to lie on the bed, hanging his head over the edge. He grabbed my hips and pulled me to him and I bent my knees a little so my dick would go right into his mouth. I fucked his throat while he ran his hands over my already sweaty chest and belly. Then he’d reach around the small of my back and pull me towards him, keeping the head of my dick in his throat for a long time. The PA didn’t seem to bother him at all.

He flipped over onto his stomach with my dick still in his mouth! That’s when I saw the ass. The picture in his profile was nice but it could easily have been someone else. His butt was beautiful, not very big but perfect for its size with the slightest bit of dark hair. I almost forgot he was sucking my dick! Almost.

He changed position again, on his back with his head on a pillow, and he motioned for me to lie on top of him. Umm…no problem! We kissed in a way I can only describe as violent as he ran his hands over every part of my torso. I spit into his mouth. My hard dick was pressing against his hole. Then he used his knuckles to press deep into the muscles of my back, moving his hands slowly up and down with each press. He was massaging me! It felt so good I collapsed on top of him. He continued. We could have stopped here and it still would have been worth writing about. But we didn’t.

He suggested we move to the living room. Actually, he said, “Let me get in the sling and you can put that cock in my hole.” There was nothing I wanted to do more ever in my life. We got up and I finally got to see the whole package, naked and in motion, from the front and the back. He was sheer beauty. I’m not exaggerating. He hopped into the sling and was, of course, perfectly positioned without having to adjust himself. (Maybe he’s a former member of some Pacific Rim gymnastics team or something. Or a robot.)

I wanted to make sure I felt everything so I didn’t use much lube. He was tight so I entered him really slowly with the PA on the side of the head so he’d feel the bumps. (Usually I try to put it in first.) He felt them and moaned—just the reaction I was hoping for. I slid all the way in and held it there for a minute. Then I started slowly pulling all the way out and pushing all the way in. I did my usual thing of pausing to feel the hair on his hole to scratch the head of my cock and then plunging in hard. He looked me straight in the eyes the entire time. He adjusted himself and used his legs to pull me close and pushing his ass into my groin. I was about ready to shoot but I didn't want to let go yet. This felt too good.

When he let go I pulled out for a second. He was dripping. I put my dick back into his hole and started pounding hard, making sure I pulled out enough for his hole to stimulate the head of my cock. I slammed his hole hard until I was ready to shoot. It took a while and it was really torturing me but i finally shot what felt like a giant load. He squeezed the last drops out of me and pulled me close again with his legs. As he ground his ass against me I bent over to kiss him and he began massaging me again! His knuckles felt amazing in my knotted muscle.

I pulled out and began some serious ass play. I managed four fingers of both hands at once but he resisted one whole hand. I wasn’t sure how far to push him and he didn't ask me to stop but I did. We kept at it for a long time and I got him nice and stretched, though. When I was massaging his prostate with four fingers he moaned and said “Daddy, I have to piss.” I told him to let it go and I aimed the stream from his uncut dick to cover his muscular stomach and chest. I scooped some up to refresh the lube, too.

Then he stood up from the sling and pushed me back towards the sofa. I sat, he kneeled. I was already half hard and he got me almost painfully stiff in a couple of strokes. He looked straight into my eyes while he licked my balls and I stroked the hair on his chin. He worked hard on my dick, again, getting me really stiff and really wet. Once more he held the head with the PA in his throat with no effort.

He hopped up on the sofa, facing me, and sat on my cock, again grinding into me, getting me as far inside him as we could. I grabbed him by his lats and started thrusting as we kissed some more. I shot again into his ass and he squeezed his hole really tight as he lifted himself from me. He licked me clean and we were done.

Boner

I played again last weekend with French muscle guy Joe and, for the first time, a third, Mark. (That’s not his name. We’ve played before.) I took the train to Malvern because that’s as far as it goes on weekends and they picked me up there. I really had to rush to make the train and I forgot almost everything I usually bring: Viagra, Xanax, etc. I wasn’t sure if I’d need either of them but I try to be prepared for anything. (I didn’t even have time to pick up a cup of coffee.) I mentioned that I had forgotten them when we were on our way to Mark’s place to pick up something he forgot and he said he had Caverject which I’ve wanted to try and, if I stayed over with him, he had Xanax he could share. Nice. As if I needed a bribe!

We finally got to the McMansion. Since they had played a bit before I arrived everything was already prepared. We got right down to business. Mark said he didn’t think I’d need any chemical help getting an erection and started sucking my dick. He was right. I got hard right away and got to work fucking Joe on the massage table. It was as uncomfortable as usual but I did blow a load in his ass.

We were following the usual scenario so it was time to fist him. Since I’ve gotten both fists into him a few times now, he wanted to try three. Naturally. It took a couple of tries. I put in my right hand, and slid in the left in an offset palm-to-palm move. Then I pushed against the sides of his hole, making a space between for mark to insert his hand. He got in up to the knuckles before Joe’s incredibly strong ass muscles forced both of us out. Progress not perfection, as they say. Besides, both Mark and I were sliding across the greasy floor because his muscles are so strong. He has mirrors set up just-so in the bathroom where we play so he can be on his hands and knees and still see what’s going on. From his angle it looked like more of Mark’s hand got inside him than actually did. We didn’t ruin his illusion.

It’s usually around this time in the script that I start to get tired and cranky and lose my erection. And like clockwork…

Joe took a break and Mark got out the Caverject. Each pen can inject 5, 10, 15, or 20 mg of the stuff. If less than the full 20 is used, the rest has to be discarded. We used it all. You know, waste not want not and all. It worked almost instantly. Mark sucked my dick but I really don’t think any fluffing was necessary. Amazing.

We got started again. Joe leaned over the massage table. I got up on the jacuzzi step and fucked him again, unfortunately not ejaculating this time. [Insert third paragraph above here. Lather, rinse, repeat.]

Then it happened. My dick was so hard that it hurt. A lot. Really a lot. It was very red. It slowly got worse, so bad that I couldn’t distract myself by fucking or anything. I was sort of hopping around because I was so uncomfortable. Actually, there was no “sort of.” I was just hopping. I thought I would relax by going outside on the deck and smoking a cigarette so I went downstairs. All the doors were locked, increasing my anxiety. I managed a few puffs in the garage but it didn’t help.

Back upstairs, Mark said that ejaculating would make the erection subside but the thought of touching my cock made me wince. By the way, all this time Joe stayed on all fours on the massage table waiting for the “action” to continue. I guess I could say he was really “focused” but it was probably the G…or the K…or total self-involvement. Maybe all three.

Just as I was resigning myself to a trip to the Emergency Room, I thought of something. I remembered that Mark had a tiny bit of crystal meth left from before he gave it up. Eureka! Nothing makes a hard on disappear faster than crystal!

Mark was even nice enough to prepare the pipe for me. I was really careful. I made sure I smoked enough to ease the pain but not destroy my erection completely. I also didn’t want to be up all night, especially if I wasn’t gonna be at home. Luckily, it wasn’t very strong so I had some wiggle room. I’d do a couple of small hits and wait, a couple more, wait some more. I amused myself by hanging heavy things on my dick. The wet bath towel was particularly impressive. After about three minutes I felt sweet relief.

I wanted to rest but Joe was still, believe it or not, on all-fours on the table. One more identical session followed. Then Joe moved to the bed and fell asleep. Mark and I got into his car and drove to his house.

He wanted to go down to the playroom and continue with some intense pig play. He posed it as an equal choice between vanilla in the bedroom or kink in the basement but I knew he really wanted. I was wide awake but I just didn’t have the energy for that, despite smoking crystal. It had been a stressful night. So we kissed and sucked and spit and licked for an hour or so. It was fine and just what I needed. He shot a big load and I licked it off of his hair tummy. I think he was disappointed. I wasn’t. It can’t be perfect every time, I guess. We took our sleeping pills and went to sleep.

I’m listening to “Don't Let Me Down” from Fraser & Debolt with Ian Guenther by Fraser & Debolt.

Dating update

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about Tom. The last time we spoke on the phone we said we were both interested in “dating” or seeing each other outside of a purely sexual context. What I didn’t mention in that entry is that we had both contracted Chlamydia. I’m not sure who gave it to who but that’s completely unimportant, really. We’ve been communicating through email since then. It didn’t occur to me but Tom thought it was best that we didn’t get together again until our respective infections were cleared up and we both said we were really looking forward to that.

I called on Friday afternoon and we chit-chatted about some stuff, including the fact that our infections were clear. Good enough. I asked when we would be able to get together. Tom responded by saying he felt that there were two of him, one was a real pig and the other one wanted to settle down and have a monogamous, romantic relationship. (We had touched on this subject in some previous conversations when I expressed similar feelings. I told him that, except for 20 years ago when I was drinking, I have been monogamous in all of my relationships but I wasn’t sure what I wanted now.)

This seemed to be leading up to us making some kind of decision about monogamy while we were dating. Nope. He’d been seeing someone else and was telling me that we wouldn’t be having sex or dating! Apparently he had two dinner dates with this other fellow during the time that we’d both been sick. That’s right, he went out with the other guy despite the same Chlamydia that somehow prevented us from going to dinner or to a movie. Is it me or does this just not make any sense?

“We can still be friends and do stuff, though, can’t we?” What? Like going to dinner with you and your boyfriend? Doesn’t that sound like fun?

He also said he thought I told him that I was uninterested in monogamy. I absolutely did not say that and told him so. I finally ended the conversation, completely stunned.

Later that day I got an email from Tom apologizing for being so “callous.” I responded politely that no apology was necessary, that it had just been a product of poor communication. Then I took a Xanap.

When I woke up I read the email again and this time I was angry. I wrote again saying that I should have waited to process the conversation more fully before I responded the first time. I wrote that I felt manipulated and that I had been treated as "Plan B," kept on the hook with a lie of omission. It was humiliating. We hadn’t been very emotionally intimate and he didn’t “owe” me anything but I felt I had been treated badly. He wrote back the he felt he’d been completely honest with me and that he thought at first that my email was supposed to be a joke. He wants to speak again on the phone or in person. I said I’d call him later this week.

Everyone I’ve told this story to has asked, before I even finished, “So he couldn’t go to dinner with you because you both had Chlamydia?? That’s ridiculous.” Yes, yes, it is.

I’m going to call tomorrow but I can’t imagine that he’ll see why I’m hurt.

Man of the week

I don’t have a clue who this guy is but I must have a hundred pictures of him. None of them are particularly professional-looking either which is great. I think he’s beautiful and he always seems to be having fun. Those hairy forearms make me shiver. He’s been showing off his ass a lot lately (Don’t worry, we’ll get to that!) which makes him just about perfect, in my eyes.

UPDATE: He is Muscle Shortstop NYC on bigmusclebears.com, profile #5373. (Thanks, Zack!!)

Note: The blog has been getting kind of heavy with large graphics so I’m changing some stuff. I’ll be posting “Man of the week” pictures two at-a-time but much smaller in size, like the pics above. If you want larger versions, and I know you do, click on either of the smaller pics to get the full-sized stud in a new window. Keep in mind that in addition to sizing these pics, I usually massage the exposures and sharpen them a bit. The larger versions are the originals, untouched by me.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this without it seeming too confusing and without anyone besides myself being identifiable to the reader. Those two things just might be mutually exclusive. Of course, there’s the even more likely possibility that people will read it and say, “Big fucking deal. Who cares?”

A couple of years ago, pre-blog, I arranged to meet a guy at Club Body Center on a weekday afternoon (Man A). We had a great time after nearly missing each other even though our rooms were adjacent! About a year later I ended up moving back to Philly permanently and we got together a few more times. On our two most recent encounters, in my 41st St. apartment and again at the baths, a buddy of his joined us (Man B). This guy is really impressively handsome, the kind of guy you remember. I have liked Man B since first meeting him about 15 years before and I was really glad to finally play with him. He said he felt likewise. I was surprised he even remembered me. On both occasions Man A said we were his two favorite tops. I was really complimented by what each man said.

In the meantime, I got together with a guy from Bear411 (Man C). He was a big, solid, sexy guy who was wearing dress khakis and an oxford shirt that were completely fresh-looking and wrinkle-free when he arrived at my place after work. I was amazed. I have never been able to do that. I don’t remember much about the sex except that I fucked him and it was over quickly. I bet I was uncomfortable because he was so much larger than I was but I must have enjoyed myself because I messaged him another time saying I’d like to play again. I don’t remember his exact response but it seemed friendly enough. (Wow. I sound like a White House official at a Senate investigation: “I don’t remember.” “I don’t remember.”) Anyway, I think I got the impression that he was interested in playing again but not that interested. No big deal. I felt the same, kind of.

I have occasion to receive services from a local agency. My contact person there quit and I was assigned an interim person to call if I needed anything. I had to be re-approved for one of their services last month. I called and we had a pleasant conversation about my needs, which are few. I went in the next day and was talking to the guy who dispenses this particular service and he had to call my contact person. I heard his voice coming from down the hall as they spoke on the phone. A few minutes later I turned around and saw Man C come out of an office and walk directly through a doorway out of the area. I laughed to myself. Coincidences like this happen in Philly all the time. It’s one of the things that makes it seem like such a small town. The incident exited my brain immediately.

The other day I was there again for the same thing. Man C passed me in the hall. I said “Hi” and he nodded. Again, I forgot about it as soon as I left the building. Later in the day I saw Man C online and noticed that he had new pictures. They were nicer than his previous ones and more accurate. The picture of Man C and his partner was particularly interesting. His partner is Man B!! Incredible. If I went out to the bars once in a while maybe this wouldn’t have surprised me so much. I’m sure both of them thought I already knew—if they even discuss such things—but I was once again surprised that everyone in Philadelphia knows everyone else. Looking back I clearly remember A and B talking about C and mentioning his name repeatedly. Doh. On the other hand, why would I make the connection?

Between this and the fact that I’ve been getting very little local response online, I’m starting to think I’ve run out of men here. It might be time to retire or move on, whatever that means.

Tom

OK. Two Fridays ago I got together with a guy from Bear411. His name was Tom, he had nice pictures, even though he had a pet in them, and he looked like a hot man. We had a lot in common sexually. We spoke on the phone a few times and really seemed to click. So far, so good.

He picked me up at the train station in Exton in a bright red Mitsubishi Spider. Nice! His pictures don’t really do him justice as he’s much sexier in person. The house was in a development that I forget the name of and has the cleanest kitchen I’ve ever seen. Really. The stove looks like an iPod with burners.

I apologize in advance to those of you who want this to be hot masturbation material but the details of what we did that night are a bit of a blur right now. If I’d written it sooner it might have been more arousing. Sorry.

Believe me, this was the best sex I’ve had in a really long time. We started making out as soon as we were inside the door. Then we went upstairs and continued without our clothes, moving on to pit-licking, cocksucking and ass-eating. We were instantly comfortable with each other. He’s in great shape and hairy all over. I loved it! I think we stayed in the bedroom for an hour or so. I wasn’t really paying attention to time.

We went down to his half-finished play room and continued for several more hours. Fucking, sucking, kissing, fisting, toys, piss, spit…you name it, we did it. When Tom wasn’t in the sling we were on a PVC covered mattress on the floor, making out and watching porn projected on a huge screen. We had a blast. The entire time we took no real breaks. It was pretty much non-stop fun. I think we finished when he started to piss on me and I knelt down to drink it. There was way too much for me to swallow and I ended up soaked with it.

We laid down on the floor and talked a bit. That’s when he told me that we already knew each other. He was my doctor 20 years ago!! I couldn’t fucking believe it! He looked so different. I wanted to have sex with him back then but he is much hotter now. As it turns out, the feeling was mutual. I was shocked. He said he had some inkling when I called him and my name showed up on his phone but he was certain when I got off the train. I wasn’t even pissed that he didn’t tell me until we were done. I was just happy all around. Damn.

I was even comfortable sleeping with him which is really unusual. He took me to the train the next morning.

We spoke on the phone a few times during the week and got together again the following Saturday night and things were just as good. We spent Sunday lying on the sofa watching movies on TV and then we went to dinner. (I know. “Who the hell is writing this and what have you done with Frank?!?!?!”)

On the phone again this week we tentatively talked about “dating.” He said earlier in the week that there was something he wanted to talk to me about. I mentioned wanting to see him outside of a purely sexual context and he said that’s what he had wanted to talk about. We both agreed that it’s something we should discuss in person. We won't be able to get together again for about a week which gives us both some time to think about it.

Well, that’s that. Shocking, I know.

Zany

When I lived in Provincetown I worked summers part-time at Zany Arcade, under my apartment. I figured if I had to listen to all that noise, I might as well get paid for it. Hardly any gay people went there but straight tourists and local guys loved it. This guy came in almost every day, sometimes with his baby girl, and he always played the same shooting game. A notorious homophobe, if he knew I was taking his picture he would have been furious. Now that I am safely out of town, I can shout my love to the world.

Tom Chase IMed me on AOL when I was living in Provincetown. He was bartending at The Vault that summer. He sent me a couple of pics he had taken in his bathroom. I didn’t realize who he was until after he left but I still got weak-kneed when he walked in the door. What a beauty! Anyway, I fucked him and we chatted a little. Nice guy. He said he always goes home alone. Men are probably afraid to approach him. Hell, if I could get him…

The adorable Morgan Spurlock, of Super Size Me, has a new TV show on FX called 30 Days. It’s kind of like the movie, someone changes their life in some way for 30 days. This week, Morgan and his girlfriend moved to Columbus, Ohio and worked minimum wage jobs for a month. It was pretty depressing. It’s good but not quite as focused or incisive as the movie. (Don’t blame the hospital for a high Emergency Room bill, Morgan! Really!) Still, he’s so cute that I’ll be watching every week! He looks great in a harness serving drinks at a leather bar during the credits.

Today’s bottom

Just finished up with this one.

We spoke briefly online a few times last summer, I think, but a hook-up never really worked out. I don’t remember why. It turns out that we’re now neighbors! If you can call someone four blocks away a neighbor. (And I do.) No offense to all you feminine guys, (I’m cracking myself up here!) but this man’s online pics made him seem not so masc. So I was a little hesitant to meet when we had chattted before.

Well, fuck me for waiting. This guy was a beauty. He was tightly muscled from head to toe. Very handsome face, closely trimmed goatee, cropped hair…very good package overall. A tight, sleeveless t-shirt showed off his muscular torso and his hairy, tattooed arms very nicely. Oh, he was very masc, too! ’Cause, as we know, musc ≠ masc.

His mouth was on mine as soon as I closed the door. Within a minute his shirt was off, revealing a beautifully hairy body and more ink. More kissing while I twisted the barbells in his nipples. He unbuttoned my shirt on his way down to his knees. I pulled out my dick. He took a hit of poppers and swallowed it immediately, pulling me closer to him to get it all. He was a greedy cocksucker! I was loving it. After he got down to business for a while, he said, “Why don’t you lie back?” OK, sure! The mattress is on the floor and I made myself comfortable while he took off his pants, revealing a nicely-aged jockstrap. He licked and sucked and rubbed his stubble on my cock and nuts. I was very happy and nowhere even close to shooting.

Then he said he wanted my dick and a nice load in his hole and asked, “How do you want me?” I didn't want to shoot right away so I told him to lie on his stomach with his ass on the edge of the mattress. That’s when I first got my forst good look at what you see in the picture. I swear, the sight of it with all that beautiful hair made me a little woozy. Still, I managed to stay concious and lube his hole. I used my fingers first to get him ready but, after getting four fingers past the knuckles, I figured he really didn’t need much more of that.

Someday I’ll think of a way to accurately describe what the head of my cock feels like entering a hairy asshole but today is not that day. It’s, well, indescribable. He wanted to be fucked hard and that’s what he got. He raised his ass to meet every thrust. I love holding my dick just inside to feel the hair rubbing against my cock head and then start fucking really hard. He’d make noise every time I did it, so I knew he liked it too.

I can fuck for a long time for an old man but eventually I just run out of breath. I can either take a break or just fuck really hard until I shoot (I discreetly keep the inhaler handy!) I had a lot of momentum and he was begging for my load so I pumped his prime ass unti I shot. I was exhausted and he seemed satisfied, too.

He asked me to take a couple of shots of my load leaking out of his ass. No problem! My hands were a little shakey so the ones where I’m spreading his ass to see the cum dripping out are a kinda blurry but I hope the one I used will give you something to touch yourself about.

He cleaned quickly and we made our goodbyes. Nice guy he was, too.

I have my profile on a ton of sites so I see pictures of a lot of actual men, as opposed to porn stars. I think the men on World Leathermen are the most beautiful. That’s where I found this sexy, bottom and his equally hot boyfriend. Unfortunately, I never got together with this guy before he moved to California to be with his other half. It wasn’t lack of desire on either of our parts, though. Sometimes Provincetown and Boston seem like they’re on opposite ends of the continent. Sigh.

More filth

Once again I have to add some filth to this blog, since the previous dirty picture is about to disappear off the bottom of the page. I know nothing about this guy except that he might be from Colorado. I do know that I’ve collected a ton of pictures of him from over the years and I love him. Really.

Note: November 2005. I just found out that this is Richard Anton. That’s MASTER Anton, to you. He’s an escort and a member of something called The Brotherhood SSRB, a gay, SM, white-supremacist group with a satanist division. Once you get past the marys on their home page, it’s kind of hot. (I know, I’ll burn in hell for that.)

I knew it!! (Maybe)

Fitness guru and trainer of WWE Superstars Matt Furey has a gay.com profile and lives in Mansfield PA!! (It’s a bit of a hike from here but would be so worth it!) I’ve posted before about his beautiful ass. This is a nice pic of the rest of him. I found him on the “Hot List” of a cutie-pie in the Philly gay.com chat room.

UPDATE: This picture has been removed from his profile since this afternoon. All that remain are close-up head shots which could just as easily be—and probably are—of someone else. Still, I live in hope.

Filthy Picture

Once again I saw there weren’t enough dirty pictures on the page so I posted one. I don’t know anything about this guy except that he chatted online with a friend of mine who kindly forwarded his pics to me. He sure is a handsome devil. Look at his strong, beautiful jawline and his hairy ass!

November 2005 Update: Whoever sent these pics to my friend was an impostor. This guy is known as str8 jeff and has a ton of JO and naked flexing/workout videos for sale.

Gay escort on White House payroll

The latest White House scandal involves this delectable man with the beautiful ass. Some folks in the Bush administration are in the habit of paying journalists to promote their agenda. Recently, Jeff Gannon, a previously unknown “journalist” from the very minor Talon News Service, was given a coveted Daily White House Press Pass so he could attend a few of W’s rare press conferences. Unsurprisingly, he was then called on, before much more well-known reporters, to ask some obviously scripted softball questions, one of which included a snide comment about “certain Democrats” being “divorced from reality.” (These guys apparently have no subtlety at all! But why should they? They know they can get away with almost anything.)

Anyways, it turns out Jeff has a very interesting background as a male for male escort, working out of Wilmington DE and going by the name of Bulldog! Woof, indeed! What an ass!!—in so many senses!

The full story with links to an archive of his escort site with more pics(!) can be found here. Unfortunately, his AOL screen name, USMCPT seems to be dead, but check out Jeff’s personal site for his final word on the subject.

Thanks to bj for posting this link today.

The New York Times’ inimitable Frank Rich adds his couple of cents and some more background. (Free registration required.)

Mardis Gras fans

Actually, the first two were driving tractors that pull the floats, two others are fathers of kids in marching bands. The rest of them are plain old drunk parade-watchers. The tractor-drivers have always been my favorites but I love them all.

Drums & Tuba show

I went to a local club called TwiRoPa last night to see Drums & Tuba, a band I like a lot but have never seen before. The space is really nice, but it was very empty. There were only about 35-40 people there.

At first I couldn’t figure out why the sound board was on a table directly in front of the stage but it turned out that the opening act was a solo act called Micronaut. He walked up, pulled the table out a bit, lit a couple of candles and started playing. All he had was a small mixer, a weird LCD device I’d never seen before and a couple of pedals. His music was great. It’s kind of what I always thought dance music would sound like in 2005. The beats sounded nothing like normal drums and there were a lot of loops with tiny hints of melodies completely distorted. He used some spoken word loops but not enough of them, I thought. There was no singing or samples of fat, black women doing disco classics, thank god. It was pretty much the polar opposite of the collection of Depeche Mode remixes I listened to on the way there and back. On the minus side, there were no real transitions between songs besides some droning noises and the set had no real arc or drama. I’d go see him again, though, any time. I looked him up after I got home and it turns out he’s a teeny bit famous.

Since Micronaut only had to pack his stuff into a couple of small suitcases, there was only about a ten minute break before Drums & Tuba began, again with no introduction. There are three of them: a guitarist, a drummer and a tuba player. They were so much bettter than their records, it’s almost hard to believe—incredibly powerful. They very obviously enjoy what they’re doing, too. It shows clearly in their facial expressions and visual interctions. They play a kind of rock/jazz fusion I normally hate but they give it a hard edge with some help from machines looping, echoing and distorting the instrument sounds. It was fascinating to watch how they did some of the stuff. For instance, the guitarist would play a riff repeatedly and the tuba player would use something to capture it. Then I’d notice I could still hear the riff but the guy was actually playing something else. It was amazing. Things would suddenly start playing backwards or change tone and sond like they were playing on the other side of a huge hall or get really fuzzy. Since the “bassist” was actually playing a tuba and not a bass, he had a hand free all the time to fuck around with the machines. I guess this makes the tuba thing more than just a gimmick but maybe not. In any case they sounded fine and, after five albums, I guess it’s working for them. I know it worked for me, so who cares?

The guitarist, by the way, was very cute. I forgot to bring my camera so I used a pic of a porn star who looks so much like him they could be twins. Aside from the hotness factor he was also very animated and the most fun to watch.

I’m sorry I won’t be in town next Wednesday to see them again. Good luck in Europe, guys.

Johnny Bravo again

Wow! I just noticed I had a whole page up here without any filthy pictures! So here’s another self-pic of my WebCamNow buddy Johnny Bravo. I’ve posted about this sexy beast before here and here. Hot as ever!

The Ultimate Fighter

The beautiful men on the left are the judges on a new reality show which STARTS TONIGHT!! It’s The Ultimate Fighter and it will be broadcast on Spike TV every Monday after WWE RAW. Sixteen men will compete for two Ultimate Fighting (UFC) contracts. The guys in the 2nd set of pics are already UFC fighters so, chances are you’ll see some of them around, too. I love watching hot men beating the shit out of each other, so this show seems like it was made especially for me!!

Dean

I’m feeling much better today. I even ran around Magazine St. for a while this afternoon. Tomorrow morning I take my host, Dorian, to the airport for the Internext event and I’ll have this big apartment and a car all to myself until Saturday. Why it’ll almost be like having my own place!!

This is a picture of Dean, a beautiful man whose picture I took at the Great Plains Gay Rodeo in Oklahoma City about nine years ago. His charm and good looks sold a lot of t-shirts over the course of that Memorial Day Weekend. I don’t know anything about him except that he was at a table hawking merchandise for some GRA in the Northwest. In this picture he’s buying a poke chop sandwich. MMMMMMMM.

More Johnny Bravo

I got a nice Christmas e-mail from Johnny Bravo, my straight buddy on WebCamNow the other day. God knows how he found out about it, but he thanked me for my previous posting about him and assured me he will get in touch when he’s in NOLA next year. I was fuckin’ floored! I was afraid he’d be pissed off or something. Anyway, he asked if I’d like some naked pics. Hell yeah, I would!! So, he sent some along, taken last Thursday, and said I could feel free to post them. Here’s one of them. I’ll post more in the next week or so. Thank God straight men don't shave their butt hair! I have nothing more to say.

Thanks, Johnny!!

The World’s Strongest Man

I’m feeling much better, in fact almost normal. I should be back to my regular hijinks by, say, Sunday night.

In the meantime get a load of Vasil Virastyuk, Ukrainian winner of The World’s Strongest Man Competition on ESPN tonight. He dragged a 20 ton truck down the street!

I love him.

While you’re at it, say “Hello” to Matt Furey’s beautiful ass. This character sells a bunch of fitness products on the web and has a touching testimonial from none other than Steven Regal! Oddly, I believe him and he is hot as hell but he still ain’t getting a penny out of me. I don’t have the genetic material and/or I’m just too goddam lazy to ever look like that!

Mark Ruffalo’s penis

I watched the Director’s Cut DVD of Jane Campion’s In The Cut last night. I really liked the novel and the movie is not bad. The book did a better job of incorporating the heroine’s love of words with the sex and thriller aspects of the story. The movie doesn’t successfully visualize her inner life, although they do try and it’s certainly beautifully shot. The cinematography is more than just pretty, too, it’s appropriate. The film is worth renting for no other reason than to see Campion grappling with what is for the most part a genre picture and for Mark Ruffalo’s dick. Meg Ryan is terrific in it, even though she seems to be channeling Nicole Kidman. Kidman produced the movie, so I guess she was suppposed to be in it herself.

I didn’t see it in the movies, so I’m not sure if this shot of Mark Ruffalo’s meaty dick was in the theatrical release or not. There’s a glimpse of it earlier in the movie, before the sex scene, but this semi-close-up appears at the beginning of their post-cunnilingal chit-chat. Then there’s a bit of business in which he pulls the covers over it and then she covers it even more! Too bad.

Ruffalo is very sexy in this movie and, because of his seductive performance, the inevitable cop/victim hook-up is more believable than most. Besides, they get it out of the way early which adds tension to the later scenes instead of relieving it. Anyway, the movie’s not bad but the book is a better bet, especially now that I’ve shown you the good part.

Johnny Bravo

I am becoming obsessed with a straight man on WebCamNow. His handle is _JohnnyBravo (with the initial underscore). He’s fucking beautiful and he loves showing off his muscles and big dick. I’m a sucker for hairy forearms, chests and pits. He’s got all three and great biceps and traps and a beautiful ass, too. Tonight he was beating off and playing with his girlfriend’s tits while she read an electronics manual! I swear. She would stop reading and suck his dick every once in a while. She couldn’t keep him hard, though. I could!!

He does construction restoration and says he’ll be in NOLA in February for a job and will look me up. Sure he will! I don’t believe it for a second but what the hell? It’ll give me something to live for until then. Why else would he give me his e-mail address, right?

He said Hi to me tonight. Sigh.

Friday night he’s doing a “show” for a couple of hours, starting sometime between 5PM and 6PM PST. I'm not sure what that means, but I’ll be there!

The men from Lafayette

Well, they were kinda late, but they did show.

They were HOT, too, as well as being really nice, regular guys. At 7:30 AM, over four hours after we talked online, they finally knocked on the door. I was really asleep, so I was pretty groggy for the first few minutes but once we got down to business I was wide awake. (A little bump didn’t hurt either!)

When we chatted earlier I warned them that I had already shot a few loads and that my body might not be very cooperative. Despite that and the bump I had no problem at all! I fucked them, they fucked each other and we all kissed a lot, sucked a lot and ate some hairy ass. I finally had to give up, but not until noon. That made four and a half hours of non-stop action!! (as they say in porn video ads) Thanks, guys!

I finally got back to sleep at 1PM. Whew!

Jeffrey

Well, it didn’t take long!

Less than an hour after I checked in, I looked up from “Under the Banner of Heaven” to see this guy looking into my room, asking if he could come in. I wish this crappy camera-phone pic did him justice; he’s really sexy.

After he made himself comfortable he said “I bet you think I'm a hustler.” I didn’t but he was, of course. After I told him that I wasn't going to pay him for sex, he said, “But I’ll do anything for $20!” Oh, what the hell? Who am I to deny a crackhead his fix? Besides, we all pay for sex somehow.

He undressed and we got down to it. Unfortunately he was a lousy kisser and, much as I wanted to fuck his beautiful furry hole, I just couldn’t get past my having only gotten two hours sleep. So I “settled” for a stellar blow job. It was great, even though I had to remove my PA because it was “limiting his technique.” He did just what I loved and looked into my eyes while he sucked my dick. At one point he said “Tips are appreciated!” It was hilarious. Then he buried the head deep in his throat as I shot a week’s worth of cum inside him. What a fucking relief!! Just what I needed.

Nap time!
