Top 10 QComments
We had a real mixed bag when it came to QComments this week, a fun blend of crackling sarcasm, sweet appreciation, spicy bitchiness, and a zesty sprinkle of wit—kinda like party mix with dicks instead of rye chips. Hungry? Then bust open the bag with us and enjoy!
Let's begin on a positive note with a thank you QComment posted by Joseph, the writer of our most recent Ask QC, My Family Hates Gays (Like Me). His letter heartbreaking letter recounted threats made against him by his family and implored QC readers for advice. Not only did our readers step up, but so did Joseph:
I just wanted to thank you so much for your advice. I do have friends who I can talk about this with so it's not all bad. I do plan to move as soon as I can (I have found a temporary job so it'll help me save up). Someone said that family is created by love and respect and not by blood and I never thought of it that way. I will assure you all now that I do not plan to kill myself. I have friends who love me for who I am and it would not be fair for them. I joined a queer group at university so I'm hoping that will help me feel more comfortable in my own skin. I really can't express just how much talking about it and reading what you all had to say has helped. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I promise you all that I will get through this! I will live the life I deserve, that we all deserve. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love, Joseph
His response also goes to show the real side of our Ask QC feature. It's a QCommunity service we're happy to provide, especially when we can help out someone as earnest as Joseph. Our resident QColumnist Steve Prince gave our readers a real treat this last week with a blow-by-blow account of oral sex with his new beau. His retelling certainly turned us and a lot of other readers on. A few QCommenters even said that they edged to it. Steve Prince certainly impressed Shoco, so much that Shoco thinks Steve should open a blowjob school:
Wow! Having a guy say he gives great head, well that's one thing. having read detailed description of how one performs the great art of blowjob is nothing short of mind fucking blowing. that was simply incredible. you're definitly amazing, Steve!! you should like teach a woman's course or sometihg (then again, don't. we don't want those bitches learning all the tricks and keeping the good endowned men to themselves, right?) can't wait for the rest XD :P...
We also got a very nice QComment from jjgg5... or rather, Johnny Hazzard, the star of our most recent Friday Five did:
Johnny is a tremendously sexy guy. Also, he seems quite intelligent. I have never been a fan of the tattoo, especially the multiple tattoos. But, Johnny knows how to work this. It's an intrinsic sexuality, I think. A friend once told me that Johnny looks like Richard Gere. My response was that Johnny is so much better looking and that he can, actually, act. But when I complained about Johnny's big ears and wondered why he didn't wear his beautiful hair longer to cover them up, my friend said those ears are just good handles for getting the best, thrusting blow jobs. Case closed.
We agree, jjgg5. We'd call Johnny adorkable, except that he's not a dork, he's just an intelligent hot guy with big goofy ears, perfect for blowjob direction (not that he needs it). But not all of last week's QCommenters had warm fuzzies for us. Take gayrightsNOW!. He was less than pleased with our article about Arpad Miklos going straight-for-pay. In it, we said it'd be nice to move past the "gay" or "straight" labels, but he prefers those labels stuck right where they are. We've run gayrightsNOW!'s QComment below with some interjection in between:
Thanks, QC! Another gay site with no soul. Of course you don't care. Why would you? It's all about the Benjamins. I just knew you guys weren't going to touch this. But, you did. And, you don't care. So, why don't you take down the comments? If our opinion doesn't matter to you, then stop asking for comments. And stand for something, for god's sake.
Err... what?! You knew we wouldn't run the Arpad story (which we did) but that only proves how much we don't care about that story (which we do). Then you get mad at us for accepting QComments (like yours), because according to you, we don't think your opinions really matter... because if we did, then we wouldn't run them to begin with? Huh... yes, we see... (nods head appreciably)
Where has the pride gone in being fucking gay (i.e. not fucking women). Sure there will always be weird ass queers that will fuck anything, throw "labels" to the wind. Hmmmm, let's see how well that will work in the real world. No psychology/psychiatry. No social work/sociology. No anthropology. Hell, you might as well throw the medical field in there as well. Why? Because they ALL label people. Labeling is a part of the human psyche, cognitive reality. Our brains are wired to label. It's NORMAL! It's a part of how we solve problems, reach solutions, and diagnose ailments. Oh, hell, this is so stupid. Let this dumb-ass do whatever he wants to do and say he's "gay." He is in the death throws of his porn career (I hope); so, this childish, sophomoric behavior will hopefully put an end to it. I guess I am rare breed of gay man who finds exclusive relationships with men normal, good, something to be proud of/virtuous. No wonder the tards in society call us freaks of nature.And, if this is the future of "gay" porn, then the future is about as bright as whale shit in the Marianas Trench.
gayrightsNOW!'s rant illustrates our point about the needless strictures of labels perfectly. We're not saying that identifying yourself as gay has no value—of course it does (we love parades and handjobs as much as the next guy)— we just don't see the point of getting our panties in a wad when a gay guy gives a woman the business. Arpad's hardly the only gay porn star who's done it and plenty of other self-identified gay men have slept with women too. Does that somehow disempower the gay identity? We don't think so.
But as far as the future of "gay" porn looking shitty, gay porn does involve butts, so a little shittiness is par for the course!
Ugly penises, "fascist faggotry," and shitting the leopard bedspread... all AFTER THE JUMP!
Now for some spicy bits! Among the QComments we like best are those where one QCommenter responds directly to another with a sharp, resounding bitch slap (and not just because we enjoy seeing ladies fight). Michael, disliked when nimbus3d criticized Manifest Men's Kash Fernando for "too much tan."
Oh my god who is that ignorant to say "too much tan". Um, it's called different races and ethnicities, doofus. Some people have more melatonin in their skin and are born and are naturally darker toned. It saddens me that I even have to explain this. Are we in 2009 or 1809? The dude is HOT, the penis is HOT, and I'm drooling.
Part of what we like about QComments like Michael's is that they show just how passionate our readers are about their men. Hair2go is in a similar vein: when other QCommenters criticized Lucas Kazan's Federico for Dragon Ball Z hairstyle and shorn pubes, Hair2go had enough:
i really do wish the fuckers stop complaining about shaving. wtf, do you think it's somehow more "masculine" to be full of body hair? body fascism is the epitome of faggotry. when will the inability of queers to accept/appreciate the male body in all its varieties, end?
We have to say, we really like the word "faggotry"; almost as much as we like the word "douchebaggery." English really is a magical language. But back to the cat pit! Hair2go isn't the only one who's sick and tired of the hair haters. Regular QCommenter SteveDenver scratched back at TitanRosemont who criticized Sean Cody's Carson by saying, "Carson's gap-toothed smile and overall face leave much to be desired from the neck down. The hair on his chest seems to be in a bit of a bushy/weird pattern. I hope Carson's only restricted to this solo video." SteveDenver snapped back with this:
Methinks your post leaves much to be desired from the neck up. I guess Carson should grow his chest hair in some other pattern. What the hell are you talking about? He's handsome, sexy and hairy. As for Carson being "restricted to this solo video," I'm sure that Sean will listen to your dumb-ass opinion. Carson is hot and his smile is a knockout! That is the hairiest ass I've seen in a long time, what fun he must be!
Yeah, a few guys in Team Orange shot several gallons worth over Carson, Federico, and Kash... so they're definitely keepers. Now only if we could get them in a three-way... how about a little inter-studio love, hey guys?
And lastly, some QComments that struck us as genuinely funny, intelligent, and a little weird. tjonasgreen likes Gemini Men's Dustin, so much that he must count the ways. Except it was Dustin's first time with butt toys and, uh... well, read for yourself:
I love this guy's looks, his creamy skin and platinum blondness dazzles, etc. And I love the idea of him being penetrated. But the layout might have been more effective if his facial expressions suggested he was in some way enjoying these strange new sensations. Instead, he looks uneasy and afraid he'll take a shit on the leopard bedspread.
Well, it was his first time... maybe he had a big lunch or maybe Dustin was embarrassed to show how much he actually enjoyed it—didn't want to get typecast as a bottom. Manifest Men's musclestud Hayden got a lot of QComments, but sadly most of them were rude QComments about his peculiar-looking penis. We know porn's all about appearances, but our readers were consistently rough on the guy with only a few exceptions. One such exception came from spnk4usd who explained what might have caused Hayden's odd member:
He has the condition of hypospadias. His urethra was too short. The fact that they went ahead and circumcised him makes it look far worse than it would be if it were intact
Oh well, we'd still work his wee-wee and certainly take advantage of his amazingly muscular body. Lastly, T was happy to see Mason Wyler's pairing with Justin Jameson, but not for reasons you might think:
Oh.... My.... God..... I think this is the first time that I've actually seen actual "penetration" or "proof", if you will, that Mason has taken a cock in his ass. Wow. I was starting to become skeptical. But maybe I like him a bit better now.
Are you kidding us, T? If Mason's body were the island of Manhattan, his ass would be the Holland Tunnel. He bottoms pretty regularly; check out his videos and you'll be amazed as the big dicks his butt can swallow. Either he's actually taking them or else he's got some amazing trick camerawork on the back end.
That's all for this week. Thanks again to all our amazing QCommenters. Whether you're praising us or hating us, we're glad you're here. Keep QCommenting and we'll post the top 10 every week!

QC,
You said, "We're not saying that identifying yourself as gay has no value—of course it does (we love parades and handjobs as much as the next guy)— we just don't see the point of getting our panties in a wad when a gay guy gives a woman the business. Arpad's hardly the only gay porn star who's done it and plenty of other self-identified gay men have slept with women too. Does that somehow disempower the gay identity? We don't think so."
You must be living on a different planet than I am. OF COURSE this disempowers gay identity. Why? Because it shows the world that gay identity doesn't really exist. You even quoted Gore Vidal in your original post, who said there is no such thing as a homosexual person, only a homosexual act, which is one of the most homophobic things I've ever read. Had this been on a Focus on the Family website, I wouldn't have been surprised. But here?
So gay identity means "parades and handjobs" to you? Does Hispanic pride mean getting together and making taco salads and singing "La Cucaracha"? Since you're so against sexual orientation labels, do you also look at your friends of color and say to them, "It will be such a wonderful day when we move beyond race and no longer use labels like black, white, Hispanic, etc."?
Look, you're certainly not the first bisexual to go around talking about how useless labels are. And if you feel that way for yourself, that's just wonderful—more power to you, in fact. But dissing something that doesn't work for you but DOES work well for others and plays an important part of their identity is, to quote gayrightsNOW!, "shitty." Yes, he may have ranted, but he made some good points and at least proves he's passionate about something and cares enough to get riled up.
You can go back to your parades and handjobs now.
(PAPERBAGWRITER: This is a porn blog, not a political blog and that being said, there's very little we take seriously. Last time we checked, naked men throwing their bananas up twinks' cho-cho holes was still pretty funny. So...
That being said, your claims of bisexuality bringing down gayness from the inside sound pretty alarmist. Is gay identity really so fragile that it must be ardently protected from the likes of Arpad Miklos, Holly Heart, and hordes of self-identified gay men who've also slept with women? We think not.
Just as cooking and folk songs are a part of Hispanic culture, a part of homosexual culture does indeed involve handjobs and Pride parades. If we include the whole LGBT spectrum, our sexual-politcal identity also EMBRACES bisexuality and transgender porn stars like Buck Angel (though we'd probably put them on QCX to accommodate the tastes of readers like yourself). Maybe you're a hardliner who finds the LBT a drag on your G, but we say the more, the merrier... we all want to be treated fairly regardless of our labels.
In the end, we didn't "diss" gayrightsNOW! by publishing his semi-coherent QComment nor did we "diss" him by including it in our Top 10. If anything we've invited him (and QC readers such as yourself) to take part in the vibrant QConversation that keeps QC so interesting.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go get a handjob from a drum major and enjoy a taco salad.)
QC: "This is a porn blog, not a political blog."
And you made this a political post by quoting Gore Vidal. You're trying to skirt an issue that you created yourself.
QC: "Your claims of bisexuality bringing down gayness from the inside sound pretty alarmist. Is gay identity really so fragile that it must be ardently protected from the likes of Arpad Miklos, Holly Heart, and hordes of self-identified gay men who've also slept with women? We think not."
Who's this mysterious "we" you keep referring to, as if you're royalty or something? I don't recall saying that bisexuality "brings down" gayness, and I certainly have never believed that. In my opinion, however, a "self-proclaimed gay man" who continues screwing women is problematic because his actions are contradicting his words, giving fuel to the flames of those who, like Vidal, say we don't exist or who say we're only gay until we find the "right woman."
I ask the same question back at you: Is bisexual identity really so fragile that you feel the need to say things like, "Oh, what a wonderful world this would be if there were no gay or straight labels" (you didn't say "bisexual") or to quote someone who believes homosexuals don't exist in the first place? How does it make you feel when someone says, "There's no such thing as bisexuals or bisexuality"?
QC: "Maybe you're a hardliner who finds the LBT a drag on your G."
Not by a long shot. All the orientations and identities are beautiful, but they are also distinctive from each other. You know, gay men like men, gay women like women, bisexuals like both...that sort of thing.
QC: "We all want to be treated fairly regardless of our labels."
Oh, so all the labels are OK now? I thought we would be so much better off without "gay" and "straight" in the mix. Make up your mind, please. And again, I don't see how fair it is for one letter of the mighty LGBT team to insinuate that another letter doesn't exist or that one is so much more advanced than the other.
QC: "If anything we've invited him (and QC readers such as yourself) to take part in the vibrant QConversation that keeps QC so interesting."
Which is why I responded in the first place. Thanks for posting my comments and taking the time to address them.
QC: "I'm gonna go get a handjob from a drum major and enjoy a taco salad."
Pick me up a chimichanga while you're at it.
(PAPERBAGWRITER: We appreciate the spirited debate, but this'll be my last comment on this particular topic as we have other porn-fish to fry. In short, we (and when I use "we" I mean QC/Team Orange) have a Kinsey-esque view of sexuality... it's more of a fluid continuum than an place of categorical absolutes.
Gore Vidal's quote in context is a direct response to those hung-up on sexual identity as the key indicator to a person's sexual mind (is he or isn't he gay?). What he's saying is that actions are ultimately more important than tell-all labels. No one can be reduced to a single sexual act. He's not denying gay identity so much as saying that acts should speak more than labels; and WE agree.
I should also clarify that my stated desire to do away with labels in the original Arpad story had mostly to do with the "gay-for-pay" or "straight-for-pay" labels from their inception. They're alienating, meaningless, and a bit stupid. And when I said, "We all want to be treated fairly regardless of our labels" that too stands against such labelling. People are much more complicated than a strict set of sexual criteria could ever prescribe. We know all matter of gay men, some who have fucked women to have children and lesbian-identified women who fuck men. It may be confusing and destabilizing for a power gay-political core, but it's the reality of the situation. The sooner LGBT can learn to accept these contradictions rather than oust them, the better off they'll be (post-gay). But that's just one guy's opinion...
Thanks for QCommenting.)
Yeah, what he said... (and said... and said... sheesh, cap the word count out of mercy!)
Seriously, I'm really glad that the young man with the homo hating family seems to have a level head, great friends and plans for independence. I know what it's like to have a family that claims to love, but really rejects. I came to a place 20 years ago when I refused to beg for their acceptance and went my own way.
Since then, my sister's ultra-conservative christian husband proved to be a paper bag full of water. My mom has become estranged from everyone in our family. And I've reunited with my loving Aunt who knew I was gay when I was in 2nd grade. She loves me and scolds the rest of the family for denying the truth and missing out.
There is plenty of love available, if we're grateful, accepting, and not too demanding of love's form.
