The 7 Sexy Sins tour is coming to Nashville this month, and Raging Stallion Studios porn star Steve Cruz will be making an appearance (he’s the naked one above). According to the tour website, there will be gift bags, door prizes, and “debauchery”. Well now you have my attention. For all I know, the door prize is a coupon for McDonald’s. But debauchery? I don’t get offered that every day.

And I am excited that Steve Cruz will be there. On paper, he’s not the type of porn star I would like. Very hairy, into leather… bleh. But there’s just something I like about him… I think he reminds me of Robbie Williams. I guess I’m also surprised he’s coming to Nashville. I mean… it’s Nashville. But hey, that’s great.

As for the 7 Sexy Sins tour, I guess it’s porn stars traveling city to city this summer. I don’t remember going over the 7 sexy sins in my Sunday church classes while growing up. But it’s nice they are giving back to the community. ;)

The tour drops by Nashville at Play on July 25th.

I’ve written a number of posts about manscaping over the years. Who could forget the time I was inspired by Jesse Metcalfe and shaved off all my chest hair? Or what about the day I put a bandage over my pubes?

While I still feel manscaping should be an essential part of every guy’s grooming routine, the gays are getting tired of it and now calling for a revolution: the anti-manscapers. You know we gay guys always like to rebel against what’s popular. We also get sick of starting trends and then having them stolen by the breeder boys. So in retaliation, the new trend is not manscaping.

When I came across this photo, I just knew this anti-manscaping madness had to stop. Surely there’s some law banning this much hair in a region other than your head. I say we should start a collection box so we can all donate and get this poor man some laser hair removal. I shudder to see his shower drain.

Anyone want to spare a dollar?

Hey, did you know I used to have a porn site that featured hot photos of men as desktop wallpapers you could put on your computer?

No?

Neither did I.

Well I forgot actually. It dawned on me out of nowhere tonight. The site was called Dreamboyz Desktops and it was hosted on a free adult server. Amazingly enough, the site is still there! I’d say it’s been at least 4 years, maybe longer.

I went back and looked at the desktop wallpapers. Pretty good, actually. I have to give myself a pat on the back. I usually cringe when I look back at old work.

The whole basis of the site is pretty much copyright infringement. I would find sexy photos of men or gay couples and modify them into something more artistic in Photoshop, with no prior permission from the photographer. Oopsie. Oh well, they were free wallpapers and I’d like to believe the photographers would be proud if they saw what I’d done.

But the e-mail address on the site is a bit lame. “lullabyboyz”. Ack. Now that is silly. I remember choosing it because “dreamboyz” was already taken. Well I haven’t even logged in for years, I’m sure it’s shut down.

Anyway, if you get bored and want to browse some hot photos for your computer, visit my old porn site, Dreamboyz Desktops.

An article about the men’s underwear store Rodney and I started will be in the June issue of Out & About Newspaper.

Click the graphic below for a larger, hi-resolution copy of the complete article.

On a sidenote, we now offer international shipping to anywhere in the world. A lot of people on this blog asked about that when we first opened, and now we can provide it.

What would you do if vandals cut the wires to your security cameras, cut the wires to your phone and electricity, and busted out your lights so that nobody could see them attack your home and property? Sounds like a horror film, doesn’t it?

Now imagine it had happened to you more than 8 times in the past year, and even once right after your mother had died. What would you do? Call the local and state law enforcement?

Well it has happened, right here in Tennessee. And law enforcement hasn’t done anything about it. The situation has become so extreme that the victims fear they will be murdered in their own home, and are planning on trying to get the FBI involved.

This is a shocking situation and I’m repulsed that law enforcement (whose is hired to serve and protect) is looking the other way when these gay men clearly need help.

The complete story is here. I urge all bloggers to help spread the word about this extreme hate crime and give it the national attention it deserves. Action needs to be taken quickly.

I’ve seen too many memorials for gay victims hit the national news after it was too late to protect them. Let’s not make this another headline of two gay men who were killed in cold blood.

Tonight, Ellen will be taping her interview live with Republican candidate John McCain. The segment will appear on tomorrow’s show. Bloggers have been speculating that Ellen will press him for answers on why he doesn’t support gay marriage.

Historically, Ellen has not been a confrontational person. She is more likely to cry than to get angry, it’s just part of her loving nature. But she’s been increasingly outspoken about gay rights this season, and recently announced her engagement to partner Portia de Rossi.

I am very curious to see how this one plays out. I truly don’t think it will get ugly. But I am hoping that Ellen stands her ground and makes him look like a fool. I would especially love it if she asked him point blank “Why do you believe I am a second class American?”

She asked both Clinton and Obama about gay rights when they were on the show, so there’s no doubt the topic will be brought up with McCain. The question is how far will she take it?

Ellen has a lot of leverage right now. She is voted the most liked daytime host, even above Oprah, and the public views her very positively. I think that if she decided to get shitty one time on the air, people would be okay with it.

Take a risk, Ellen!

This photo has been making the rounds online, so I thought I’d share it and laugh at all the controversy it’s received.

I don’t know what’s a rumor and what’s truth, but apparently this concept ad was created for PlayStation 3. At first glance, it looks like a nude photo, but upon further inspection, you discover the man actually has a third thumb for playing video games.

People are all hot and bothered because it’s so “grotesque”, “obscene”, and “offensive to children”.

Come on folks… Do you honestly believe this is the new ad campaign for PlayStation 3? It’s obviously a joke and not for kids. I think it’s brilliant.

I can speak as a designer myself when I say that all designers strive to come up with something that gets your attention. You have to think of new and different concepts, and it doesn’t always have to be a literal representation of the product. In this case, there is no game system at all. You’re just seeing the memorable image of someone loving his PlayStation 3 so much that he’d use a thumb instead of a penis.

It’s a funny joke; probably wasn’t supposed to be leaked, but now it is, so there you have it.

I learn something new everyday.

I’m founding out more and more that a lot of gay guys have an armpits fetish.

There are so many things you have to keep up with to be attractive to other guys. Gay guys are a picky crowd. But now we have to impress guys with our armpits too? And women think they have it bad. Whew.

So now I have to ask… what’s the criteria? How do I know if my armpits are sexy?

Are you looking at the bushy factor? Hair or no hair? Is it about the smell? Does it matter if the arms are really muscular to enhance the overall armpitiness? Do you like them sweaty?

I think armpits are kind of funny, especially bushy ones. I like to pretend they’re furry animal characters that can talk…. like Ozzy’s on Survivor. He was a smart player and had bushy armpits, so I made up a game where his armpits were his comrades and they gave him advice to help him outsmart everyone. I imagined scenarios that took place where he sat down and had a good talk with them before making his next move.

But hey, that’s just me. Please enlighten.

The idea of having children is something that’s often on my mind, and as the years go by, I feel a heightened sense of urgency to get started. I’ve reached a point where many of our straight friends have babies, and they all ask the same question— “Do you and Rodney plan on having kids?” We tell them yes, and the goal remains by the time I’m 30 (I’m 26 now). Rodney will be 41, so we really feel something has to happen by then.

But I do have to admit that I’m crippled with fears and worries about the whole process. The first obstacle is that I want to have a biological child, which means I’ll need to find a woman who will carry the baby.

When you’re a lesbian, your options are endless. All you need is a sperm donor and you can handle the rest. But for us, we would basically be at the mercy of this woman for 9 months. I have this deep fear that she would change her mind and want to keep the child… On the flip side, you have to almost question a woman who doesn’t have a problem giving up a baby.

Then there is adoption. People always throw that out there. I might be open to it if we have a second child. In fact, I’ve wondered about adopting a child that is 5 or 6 so that we can theoretically turn back the hands of time to counter Rodney being in his 40’s when we get started. But I definitely want at least one biological child and I think that should be the first.

A whole other issue that worries me is the day to day stuff. Many people are afraid of settling down and the lifelong commitment to be a part of a child’s life. But that doesn’t bother me at all.

What I worry about are the little things. Spending 1 hour with my nieces and nephews exhausts me. There is no “off” button, no pause. They are sweet as can be, but they have to be entertained from sunrise until sunset. I can turn my head for a second and they get into trouble. They get into something they shouldn’t, or they fall off and get hurt. How does any human maintain the energy for that?

Well, I’m just venting my fears. As people always tell me, “It will all work out.”

I know the child(ren) will be loved, fed, and clothed, so that’s the first step. It’s all the minor details that overwhelm me.
