Who’s Blown What?

After You've Blown It
Embarrassing original cover art (with phallic rock) on a religious book “After You’ve Blown It: Reconnecting with God and Others” has been changed (to a cliff).
Award-winning author and pastor Erwin Lutzer provides solutions to common questions about how to reconnect with God and with those we are estranged from.

Sons of Porno

Sons of Porno?
Salt Lake City’s Deseret News reported that new DVD copies of the Mormon boy-band comedy SONS OF PROVO were accidentally sent out with the Italian gay melodrama ADORED: DIARY OF A PORN STAR encoded onto the disc instead of the family-friendly comedy.
The packaging and label for the SONS OF PROVO DVD had the correct artwork and text, but viewers were surprised to see ADORED when the DVD began playing on their television screens. Uh-oh…
Apparently, the mistake was made by the third-party company contracted to do the DVD replication for both films. Neither Wolfe (the distributor of ADORED) nor Halestorm Entertainment (the distributor of SONS OF PROVO) was aware of the mistake until customers began to complain about the mix-up.
Kathy Wolfe, the founder and CEO of Wolfe Video, comes from a family that includes several Mormons, and says of the mix-up, “Of course our company has no responsibility or involvement in the mistake, but we are concerned that some families might have been upset by the sexual nature of the film.” And, she added with a wink, “But, if any of the adults in the audience enjoyed what they saw, we encourage them to check out the entire DVD of ADORED and some of the many fine films available from Wolfe.”
(Thanks Corey!)

Costa Rica Gay Nude Beach Vacation Highlights

Costa Rica Gay Nude Beach Vacation

One of our dear friends and contributors at QC, Walt, went on a fun-filled Costa Rican vacation recently with friends… and to be honest, we can’t get him to shut up about it. It’s all “nude beach this” and “amazing jungle animals that”… blah blah blah. But we finally caved and said “OK, put something together.”

Actually we’re just razzing him. It looks and sounds like they had a great little gay adventure. Here are a few details if you want to put together a similar trip yourself:

Relatively undiscovered, but soon to be over-run by the whole wide world is Manuel Antonio National Park, located on the Pacific side of Costa Rica; closest town Quepos (aka Puerto Quepos).

•Considering its relative isolation, there are a few gay hotels, including Villa Roca, Plantation, and Casa Blanca. There’s even a local roof-top-patio gay bar called Tu-Tu’s.

Secluded gay nude beach

•High Season (drier) is more expensive– November thru April. Cheaper rates during Low Season (aka green or rainy season)– May through October.

•Amazing jungles, beaches, animals– especially monkeys– and tropical birds everywhere. Lots to do: canopy zip-line tours, whitewater rafting, fishing, jet-skiing, etc.

Based on the reports we’ve received, we highly recommend you plan a trip to this little slice of gay heaven as soon as you can.

Happy trails! –QC

PS: Don’t go trying to find or call “Super Gay Travel”… as they say in Costa Rica, “no existe”.

Nick Found Dead?

Nick Dead?
Two bodies found in a quarry north of Montreal on the 1st September have been identified as those of two American male strippers, Mark Kraynak and Steve Wright, who went missing while on a night out in Montreal 11 days ago.
If we’re not mistaken, one of them is actually our NextDoorMale Nick. He also appears on Straight Guys For Gay Guys – a recently launched website where you can find hot straight men having sex with women.
Flying over the site with a helicopter, police spotted the bodies on a remote ledge inside a quarry, not far from the after-hours bar that the guys told a friend they were heading to on Aug. 22.
The two guys were part of a 6-man stripper group who was on tour in Canada. Police have yet to determined if the pair fell into the quarry by accident or were the victims of crime.
(Thanks Steve for highlighting the news to us)
Update:
The Two U.S. strippers who were working at the Toronto gay bar Remington’s were found dead inside a rock quarry outside Montreal Sept. 1.
Mark Kraynak, 23, and Steve Wright, 20, had been missing since Aug. 22 when they planned to visit a nearby after-hours bar, Red Lite, in the suburb of Laval.
Police have not determined if the men fell, were pushed, or were placed at the quarry after being murdered. The bodies were found on a ledge about 50 feet (15 meters) into the quarry.
Kraynak, who was from Uniontown, Pa., and Wright, who was from Santa Rosa, Calif., had been part of a successful lawsuit against the Canadian government by six U.S. adult entertainers who sought the right to perform in Canada.
Kraynak served as a specialist with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division in Baghdad prior to being wounded and receiving a Purple Heart.
Update:
The two U.S. models who were found dead in a Laval quarry after having disappeared in late August probably fell to their deaths after they tried to escape a taxi driver who was chasing them, the victims’ families said Friday.
According to the families of Steve Wright, 20, and Mark Kraynak, 23, video from a security camera at the night-club where they were headed seems to suggest the two exited their taxi running, followed by the cab driver.
The families, who visited the quarry Friday to drop flowers near the spot where the bodies were found, said the two men probably jumped a fence that bordered the quarry.
They lamented that the warning signs on the fence were only in French.
Police are still looking to question the taxi driver.
The two men, in the Montreal area on vacation, called a friend after leaving a downtown bar about 3 a.m. on Aug. 22 to say they were heading by taxi to an after-hours bar in Laval.
Their bodies were found 10 days later on a ledge of the Demix quarry, about 300 metres from the club.
The bodies were found on what police described as an “avalanche ledge” about 15 metres down a sheer cliff, one-third of the way down the quarry.
Wright of Guerneville, Calif., and Kraynak of Uniontown, Pa., had been working as dancers at a strip club in Toronto during the summer.
(Thanks for the update, Steve! News source)

Ponderosa

I wonder something – why is everything “straight men this, straight men that” all the time? I mean, are we that self-homophobic that we can’t be attracted to a man unless he’s all “I’M STRAIGHT – I DON’T LIKE DUDES – I MEAN, I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND.” Are actual gay men just unlust-worthy? Where have all the hot gay men gone in gay porn? – John

QC reader John sends us the million dollar question. Any thoughts?

Homoerotic Art History 101

Homoerotic Art History 101

Homoeroticism through the ages. Who said history can’t be fun? It can be if it’s homoerotic. LOVE the gargoyle in the first frame! In our age, some people completely freaked out when they saw Janet Jackson’s nipple (OK, rightly so… it did look a bit chewed on, didn’t it?), but look what made it onto a cathedral way back in 1130. Check out http://www.beyond-the-pale.org.uk/ for more medieval exhibitionist church carvings, as they call them.

Also thanks to the Homoerotic Art Museum for the last two frames. Check out historical porn from all over the world on their site: http://www.homoerotimuseum.net/ .
