After a hot, wet Australian summer, the SameSame.com.au show Surf Camp comes to an end. The final episode is a bit anti-climactic except for a hilarious;y weird “commercial break” that features one finalist cross-dressing in bra and panties and smearing himself in ketchup—brilliant! We’d like to say we gave a damn who won, but it’s not like we’ve learned their names or personalities or anything. We’ve been watching their asses and crotches a lot more then their surfing skill. Secondly, apart from a surfboard, it’s not like the winner of Surf Camp actually wins anything (besides being on camera a little longer and getting some love from the other hunky contestants). Sadly, the cuter of the two finalists loses out to the one who can actually surf. However, it’s been a fun ride nevertheless. Congratulations to whats-his-name! You’ve surfed your way into our… oooh! What else is on? Watch the entire season of Surf Camp from start to finish with our previous posts: Surf Camp Is In Session! Surf Camp Begins!

Talk about a simple idea beautifully expressed:Guys With iPhones is a text-free blog filled with nothing but pictures of hot guys photographing themselves with their iPhones—that’s all! And believe us, these pics are just the iceberg tip of pages-upon-pages of hot guys. They update it regularly PLUS, if you scroll down to the bottom, you can call up a random pic or browse through the hundreds of pics in their user-friendly archive! Just imagine all the naughty texts, personal ads, and internet hook-ups these sexy pics have helped create. Call us materialistic, but snapping your sexy ass with a sexy-ass phone only makes you twice as hot.

Presenting an international mix of hot men, fashion, art, culture, and travel with a slick, graphic layout, YVY magazine is one hell of a webmag and should be on your RSS feed. Among other highlights, it recently featured Brazilian snythpop queer band, CSS, a sex poll from HX magazine, a serene South American travel spread, and artwork from Chinpoko’s illustrator Ismael Alvarez! And better yet, it’s safe for work (though your boss may wonder why you’re fantasizing about men in undies and South American vacations on company time).
When we first heard buzz of this guy’s YouTube videos—we fell in love. Absolutely one of our favorite types of men is a guy who wears nerdy in a sexy way. And under his intelligence and wit, we think Michael DiMartino is damned sexy—especially shirtless. Not only does he have great moves to these sign language versions of popular songs like Britney’s Womanizer, they’re his own.
Marc (also strikingly handsome) of ORD to LAX scooped a great interview on his blog with Michael DiMartino. He writes: “The real draw is his personal versions of pop hits. Yes, I know that a cute boy with a webcam has been there before: 1000 imitations of Single Ladies and Umbrella, but Mike’s are different. He does his own original productions using sign language. And he doesn’t rip off other’s ideas. He does his own choregraphy… while signing for the hearing impaired. And he totally pulls it off.” Check out Marc’s entire interview at ORD to LAX.
“Un-average Twink,” Andy Kay has started a safe-sex crusade for porn models and studios to regularly HIV-test in addition to using condoms. According to Kay, “Many companies have come to worship the condom as the saving grace. Others have halted certain aspects of scenes like oral cumshots to help curb the issue. Unfortunately, there is one avenue that many of these companies do not take and that is the matter of full panel testing.” Kay says that many straight porn companies already do this and that although testing still doesn’t make sex 100% safe (because of HIV’s 6-month incubation period), it’s at least a step in the right direction. To emphasize his message, Kay created a message from the models themselves including Phillip Ashton, Jayden Taylor, Krist Cummings, Jacob Wright, Zack Randall, Ryan Conners, and Angel Benton. Kay raises an important point. It’s everyone’s responsibility to prevent HIV. It makes us wonder what we as porn-lovers can do to help promote safe-sex in pornography. What do you think? A letter writing campaign? Asking studios to pledge their commitment?
A beloved reader, Karmaisabitch, posted a great Sticky to some yummy bulge pics of young actor and musician, Drake Bell, dressed like a foppish dandy in New York City. He’s got a frilly cravat, fancy coat, and black denim jeans that look a little tight. Not that we’re complaining… thanks to those jeans, we all get a closer look at Drake Bell’s bell. The young guy’s hung and we’re betting that’s just his semi. We wonder for whom his bell tolls: is it that beehived, pink-booted chippie standing next to him or the young dude licking the ice cream cone after the jump? Hell, maybe Drake just turns himself on and he can’t help getting hard just hanging around. Luckily, we’ve got more shots of his goodness to drool over after the jump. Thanks Karmaisabitch! You were right… we loved these pics! For more celerbity bulges, check out The Bulge Report.

Last week, we posted an unsurprising study that revealed the most conservative states in the U.S. consume the most porn. And at the top of the list was (ta-da!) Utah, home of the Mormon/Latter Day Saints church, which got us thinking… just how much Mormon gay porn is out there?
Before we began searching, we wanted a picture of just how conservative Utah is. Despite the LDS church’s backing of Prop. 8, the entire state isn’t crawling with anti-gay Mormons. In fact, the most conservative Mormons live outside of Salt Lake City and Park City. In the metropolitan areas there’s lots of young, hip artsy-types who couldn’t care less who you bugger.
We tried to find a good picture of Utah Porn Czar, Paula Houston, but one just doesn’t exist.
Sadly though, Republicans and LDS-affiliated politicians own the government. In 2001, Utah became the only state to appoint a Porn czar, Paula Houston, a single 40-year-old Mormon woman (and alleged virgin) who earned $80,000 a year to, um… to… well, perhaps we’ll just let her tell you:
“To ferret out and prosecute those who violate obscenity laws and to help communities write their own. [Porn] is a foul sleaze that makes its exploiters wealthy, its victims impoverished. It will become an obsession. It will destroy your home life. It will destroy your marriage.”
You may wonder how a member of the Mormon Church can fairly address pornography, which the denomination views as an addiction akin to drugs. Yes, well… so did everyone else. Luckily, when the Attorney General’s office had to cut $750,000 from its budget, they cut her job too. GayMormonsexist of course. One can be gay in the Mormon church, as long as they’re homo-celibate. If they aren’t, they face excommunication (never being allowed to set foot inside a Mormon temple again). Given that choice, some stay closeted, some live a hush-hush but actively gay lifestyle while still attending temple, and others leave the church.
One notable Mormon who left the church is Sean Cody. In fact, he once talked about how he went from Mormon to gay porn auteur:
According to a new Harvard Business School study entitled, Red Light States: Who Buys Online Adult Entertainment?, eight of the top ten states in terms of online porn consumption were ones where McCain won in the last presidential election. Professor Benjamin Edelman analyzed anonymised credit cards receipts from a large online porn company. Based on their limited data, the largest consumer is Utah.
“Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be consumers of the very things they claimed to be outraged by,” Professor Benjamin Edelman says.
Residents of 27 states that passed laws banning gay marriages boasted 11% more porn subscribers than states that don’t explicitly restrict gay marriage.
States where a majority of residents agreed with the statement “I have old-fashioned values about family and marriage,” bought 3.6 more subscriptions per thousand people than states where a majority disagreed. A similar difference emerged for the statement “AIDS might be God’s punishment for immoral sexual behaviour.”
“One natural hypothesis is something like repression: if you’re told you can’t have this, then you want it more,” Edelman says.
Well, we can’t say we’re surprised that the people who financed Prop 8 are also the biggest consumers of porn. What do you think? Do repressive societies turn their citizens into masturbating freaks or is online porn a form of rebellion?
Sharing your experiences with porn, drugs, and sex for 15 minutes could get you a $200 iTunes gift certificate, thanks to Project Rewind, a anonymous survey conducted by the NYU School of Medicine. If they’re really curious how drugs, sex, and porn interact, they should just skip the web survey and observe the bathroom of any gay bar right before last call. Well, we took the survey and they’re particularly interested in bareback porn (a QCX flavor). They also wanna know if you’ve ever fucked while watching porn or tried anything from a porno (like the reverse cowgirl position). Once you’re done with the survey, you can enter a raffle for the iTunes prize. They’ll keep the raffle entries and survey responses separate and even provide info on how to clear the survey off your computer, just in case you’re thinking about drugs and barebacking at work (like us).
It’s quite rare that we find ourselves drooling over another gaycentric blog (and openly admitting it), but that’s what we will do for FocusBoy. The cool dudes pump out a chockful of really purty collages of the hottest boys from various industries. And ironically, we find ourselves anything but focused when viewing the site – we get so distracted by the random hotties! We like their work so much we’re thinking of tricking them into working for us (guys, if you’re interested hit us up and we’ll talkshop)! LOL.
In the meantime, QueerClick and Sticky have been made Category Sponsor (no prizes for guessing which Cat, haha) and now we’d like to send a shitload of traffic over by getting you guys to check out the sexy and exquisitely designed site.
Thanks Tommy (and I’m serious about hiring you!). Keep up the great work and here’s to working more closely together in the gaybourhood!
Even if you have a very-close, some might even say “unhealthy and obsessive”, relationship with your penis, there’s still some unknowns about your bone. Luckily, the health editors at CBS news have recently released an article about penis fun facts. Except that they’re not all fun… especially when it comes to penile fractures and your cock’s boomerang shape. Here’s highlights quoted directly from the full article:
No. 1: Your Penis Does Have a Mind of Its Own: Sexual arousal usually isn’t voluntary. The conscious mind is complicit in it, but a lot of sexual arousal goes on in the sympathetic nervous system. In addition, impulses from the brain during the REM phase of sleep cause erections, whether you’re dreaming about sex or about a test you forgot to study for. Heavy lifting or straining to have a bowel movement can also produce an erection.
No. 2: Your Penis May Be a ‘Grower’ or a ‘Show-er’: Among men, there is no consistent relationship between the size of the flaccid penis and its full erect length. In one study of 80 men, researchers found that increases from flaccid to erect lengths ranged widely, from less than a quarter inch to 3.5 inches longer.
No. 3: Your Penis Is Shaped Like a Boomerang: Just like you don’t see all of a big oak tree above ground, you don’t see the root of your penis tucked up inside your pelvis and attached to your pubic bone. In an MRI picture, the penis looks distinctly boomerang-like, as noted by a French researcher who studied men and women having sex inside an MRI scanner.
No. 4: You Can Break Your Penis: There is no “penis bone,” but you can break your penis all the same. It’s called penile fracture, and it’s not a subtle injury. When it happens, there’s “an audible pop or snap,” Montague says. Then the penis turns black and blue. And there’s terrible pain.
No. 5: Most Penises in the World Are Uncut: A report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV /AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that worldwide only 30 percent of males aged 15 and up are circumcised.
We have to say that we’re personally excited about the high number of uncut men in the world. Finding an uncut cock in the United States is like finding a unicorn. But we’re not so crazy about the idea of breaking our boners; could be worse though. Bumblebees actually break off their cocks inside the queen so other rival bees can’t fuck her. Then they crawl off into the corner to bleed to death—talk about awkward. Do you know any other interesting fun facts about your (our) cock?
What’s up, doc? Photographer Sylvain Norget’s Naked Rabbit Project is what’s up. For the photo series, the deliciously sexy artist took portraits of himself naked and fooling around with a rabbit mask. The result is dark, gritty, disturbing, and undeniably erotic. Here’s what the artist had to say about the series on his website (the misspellings and translation mistakes are his, not ours, not that we care… but for you mavens).
Self-portrait Narcissistic study?
NO,if we like what we see in the mirror we have not need to stage it.
I photograph myself because it is easy, i am not going to refuse for what asks me the photographer !
It is the story of a phobia, that of rabbits.
Since i am young i am terrified by white rabbits with the red eyes !
We’d love a closer look at the rabbit’s carrot or his hole. But we’ll just have to feast our eyes on his beautiful photos!
A massive international study on a temporary HIV prevention pill is underway. The concept is known as pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP.
In a massive medical trial on three continents, doctors are testing a controversial pill that could temporarily boost immunity against HIV before a person is even exposed to the virus. If the pill works safely, doctors must then address whether such a drug, if made widely available, could actually worsen the AIDS epidemic. The pre-exposure pill undergoing testing seems promising, since HIV drugs taken within days after exposure to the virus have been shown to reduce the risk of infection by 80 percent. But public health officials debate whether people at high risk for the virus, such as men who have sex with men, would be more likely to set aside the use of condoms to instead rely on a drug regimen that doesn’t provide full protection against the disease, which is spread by contact with the blood or semen of an infected person.
You can read more about the study. Though it’d be great to have the pill as a backup plan for unsafe sex with strangers, we’d hope that people would still practice safe sex instead of pill-popping the morning after. We’ll be sure to post any more information we get on the trial results, but in the meanwhile… what do you think? Helpful or red herring?
Are you a bottom? Do you like the bottoming out? Would you consider yourself a “power bottom”? Well, then Michigan health activist Trevor Hoppe, wants your ass story. He’s putting together, “The Bottom Monologues” which will do for manholes what “The Vagina Monologues” did for fur burgers. On his site, he’s asking bottoms of all kinds to share their bottoming experiences in six questions so that he can create “composite characters”—distillations of dozens of men’s stories all wrapped up into one package. Though they’re exploring what it means to be a bottom, they’re also interested in hearing from tops, versatile, or non-identifying guys, too. Basically, bottoms and anyone who loves bottoms are invited!
