In the last post, I talked about the Hanky Code and some of their meanings. Boiled down to basics, it started as a means for gay men to recognize one another and to quickly ascertain the types of sexual activities they liked. Most of which speaks to fetish, in some way or another. At quick … Continue reading Fetishism Fun For ALL
Here, Borrow My Hanky
So, my last post was about my own struggle with body positivity and how I have started trying to deal with it. I think the next step is to talk about being sex positive. To do so, we will have to look at several topics and even revisit some history. It is important to think … Continue reading Here, Borrow My Hanky
Dorothy Jean
Eight years ago, this February 10, my mother passed away. It was a monumental milestone in my life because she was probably the one person who really knew me. The person that I never really had to tell them how I felt, she just knew. No matter where I was, if either of us needed … Continue reading Dorothy Jean
GuRu by RuPaul A Book Review
So to end out the week, I am opting for a lighter tone. Something that is more fluff and feel good. Without further ado... I realize that when you talk about RuPaul to the LGBTQ community you get varied responses. She is idolized by some and hated by others, but you cannot deny that she … Continue reading GuRu by RuPaul A Book Review

Also, to use his inspiration in looking at future posts. So for your enjoyment I am adding a couple … Continue reading Ted Talk Tuesday
Why May Hiding Be Necessary?
I consider myself to be out an open about it, I don’t hide who I am. Even saying that I do realize that I do not tell everyone that I am a gay man. Is that being in the closet for not sharing, it may depend, itself, on the type of interaction that I have … Continue reading Why May Hiding Be Necessary?

Spanking the Monkey or Flicking the Bean
A recent study in May, which should come as a complete shock to everyone, released that LGB people masturbate more often than our straight counterparts, a whopping 23% more on average per week. This study was released by the pleasure brand TENGA, provider of male pleasure products. This survey also found that LGB people are … Continue reading Spanking the Monkey or Flicking the Bean
Small Town Gay
I had mentioned previously about coming out in a small town and what it was like. I didn’t have a lot of examples, as many young LGBTQ people don’t, to go by. I did have a bar that wasn’t too far away from where I lived and a city that at least had some sort … Continue reading Small Town Gay
The Truth About Dating
People always seemed shocked when they hear that I haven’t dated much, since moving to the Cleveland area. Really, I think that they are equating dating with having sex. At least it seems that is what they are thinking. Usually when they ask, and I say I haven’t met the right person yet, it is … Continue reading The Truth About Dating
