“It was the first decision I made as a father,” Aiken told People Magazine of his decision to reveal his sexuality. “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.” Aiken appears on the cover of this week’s magazine cradling the newborn baby, Parker Foster Aiken, who was conceived through in vitro fertilization with record producer Jaymes Foster. The headline on the cover says it all, “Yes, I’m gay.”

Steven Spielberg and his spouse, Kate Capshaw, followed in the footsteps of Brad Pitt and chipped in a $100,000 donation to fight Proposition 8, the constitutional marriage amendment that would take away the rights of gays and lesbians to marry in California. “By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation,” the couple said in a written statement released Monday. “Such discrimination has NO place in California’s constitution, or any other.”

QC FYI: Congested? Masturbate!

Breath easier!
Rising medical costs may make the coming cold and flu season even more miserable. Luckily, relief may be within reach according to new study entitled, “Ejaculation as a potential treatment of nasal congestion in mature males” published in The Journal of Medical Hypotheses. It seems that five fingers and a few minutes may be all you need to alleviate chronic congestion and horniness.
According to the study, most over-the-counter decongestants relieve congestion by stimulating adrenergic receptors that constrict nasal blood vessels. The author reasons that ejaculation will stimulate adrenergic receptors shortly after ejaculation, giving you relief from your cold. What that means is that blowing your wad should make it easier to blow your nose— now there’s more than one reason to keep tissues near your bedside.
We know getting your rocks off isn’t a high priority when you’re sick, but is there anyone out there with a head cold that can test this scientific theory for us?

Wednesday Wrasslin’ Round-Up: Vive La France!

Ooo la la!
This week, the crème de la crème of French wrestling… two two-part matches each with handsome competitors really putting one another through their paces. The camerawork’s awesome and the action’s pretty damned hot too. Well, without further adieu… voilà!
MATCH 1: Zut alors! Our apertif to this week’s round-up has one competitor really working the arm of his opponent with some nasty throws and hair pulls, until his rival gains the upper hand and starts to work over the heel’s leg with some wicked somersaults. It’s hard to tell which one will come out on top as the domination goes back and forth. Sadly, there’s a small gap in the action between the two videos and the ref gets a little too involved, but c’est la vie!


A very hot second match, after the jump!

Corbin Fisher: Cade Fucks Aaron

Corbin Fisher: Cade Fucks Aaron
Aaron’s leaping into the action with both feet! He recently used that big dick of his to pound Jeff’s hole and now he’s on the receiving end of a big dick as Cade has a go at fucking him! Aaron was curious about trying out hardcore action with a guy when he first arrived at CF, having had some oral fun before but never any fucking. Certainly, seeing just how much Jeff enjoyed it when Aaron fucked him must have made it pretty clear how good it could feel to bottom and got Aaron fired up to take this next step!

Ask QC: He Kisses Like A Dead Fish

Ask QC: He Kisses Like A Dead Fish

Dear QC,

I’m dating this boy who is absolutely gorgeous in every way except he just cant kiss!

To say he makes no effort in kissing would be an understatement, he just sort of sticks his tongue out and then doesn’t even move it! Any tips or ideas on how I get him to improve? It would be so great if we could kiss for hours and hours. Sexually he’s really great in bed but kissing with him is like trying to resuscitate a dead fish!

Help!
RB.

What advice would you give RB, dear QC readers? Please feel free to share your own experiences and advice to help him in the comments section.
