It’s About Time Someone Poked Fun At The Gay Experience
“It’s now routine for comedians to be self-deprecating, but when it comes to gay YouTube star Michael Henry, everyone is in on the joke. Henry quickly became a darling in the gay blogosphere in 2015 and today, his ubiquitous self-deprecating videos have been shared millions of times. Henry’s unique method of expressing the gay experience involves a sharp wit, dry delivery, and brutal honesty.” Advocate
Gay Bookstores Around the World
“The death knell of the local queer bookstore has been heard around the world, with many mourning this cultural loss as store after store has shut down, but as Mark Twain once quipped, “the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Though diminished in number because of big box stores, Amazon, and assimilation into the mainstream, a handful of queer bookstores continue to do what they do best: offer up great gay literature and provide spaces for queer people to meet, mingle, and even crochet. Innovation and reinvention for a new era are hallmarks for these flaming phoenixes, aiming to thrive, not just survive, while maintaining the quirky edge that sets them apart from traditional literary outlets'” Passport Magazine
This Is The Most Common Way To Break Your Penis – It’s Not During Sex
“Injuries during sex are more common than you think and guys especially can do some serious damage to their manhoods if they indulge in risky bedroom behaviour.
From certain crotch-compromising sex positions to dangerous sexual acts, it’s possible for a man to actually break his penis in the throes of passion.
Fortunately penile fracture is rare, but there are some horror sex stories that have been studied by scientists.” The Daily Star
No Nut November: Can You Get ‘Superpowers’ By Giving Up Masturbation?
“Lots of men do No Shave November, and all they get out of it is a beard (or at least parts of a beard). The men who do No Nut November might end up getting superpowers.
No Nut November challenges participants (just men, it looks like) to go the whole month without masturbating. They do so in the hope that they’ll be rewarded with a surplus of energy that, no longer wasted on sex, can be redirected into such benefits as physical well-being, mental clarity, and confidence around people they’re attracted to. It’s in the same line of reasoning as why athletes avoid having an orgasm before a big game. Don’t worry if you succumb once or twice though; there’s a three-strike forgiveness policy.” Towleroad
