Some guys are into smelly feet

What are the ultimate top 10 gay passion killers?

This is a tricky one, because we’re all different and what throws a bucket of metaphoric cold water over some of us may excite others!  Smelly feet for instance are a big turn on for some gay guys, but others would point them toward the shower.

So, with a big pinch of salt, here are the top 10 gay passion killers:

1   Sleeping over at the parents / boyfriends parents

His elderly Mum’s in the bedroom next door.  She might not appreciate the sound of your balls slapping against your boyfriend’s butt whilst he’s moaning loudly.  Let’s face it, it aint gonna happen tonight.

2   Bad breath

A universal passion killer.  No one likes this.  Floss, tongue-scrape, brush and swish.  Regularly.  NOW you can kiss :)

Jungian psychology and the Positives of being Gay

Acceptance of being gay is important to our happiness

Acceptance of being gay is important to our happiness

Gay people have not always felt well served by the pioneering psychology of Carl Gustav Jung ( 1875- 1961 ) who came to take a radically different path to the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, which embraced the wider realm of faith and religion, alchemy and mysticism. He viewed the goal of life with the insights of his system of analytical psychology as a process of individuation towards wholeness.

From a Jungian perspective, it is essential to have the courage to fully accept ourselves as gay individuals, so coming out properly is a most important step towards wholeness. Jung’s approach to homosexuality was one of social acceptance and tolerance: being gay did not in any way devalue anyone as a member of society, and he was against any laws being passed against it. He also recognised that homoseuality was a part of all times and cultures worldwide. Read the rest of this entry »

Gay Porn, and the Revealing Legacy of Mae West

Mae West

Mae West

When Mae West famously quipped, “a hard man is good to find”, she could not have envisaged the extent of the modern gay movement’s reliance on porn from mags to movies to the proliferation of domestic cam sites. She was a truly modern woman whose sexual awareness,  electrifying satire,  and forthright feminism were castigated by the moral majority in 1920s America.

Imprisoned on Devil’s Island for “corrupting the morals of youth”, Mae saw enough homosexuality to turn it into a play called The Drag. It was promptly dropped when she refused to rewrite it to please a nervous theatre manager.

For all her renown, she would have seen the gay porn now surfeiting the scene as pernicious. It is a revelation to look at her career again, which, she claimed, had “a redeeming social purpose”, and, in the light of this, to question where our present gay sexual obsessions are leading us.

‘Dear Gay Agony Uncle: I like a Man in my Bed. Does that make me Cheap?’

Male equivalents of Agony Aunts for gay men are hard to find. The nearest we come to them is in the odd newspaper column, or gay fashion and lifestyle mags offering reassurance on health matters. Troubled teens and hesitant, closeted guys,  lacking a sensible gay friend and mentor, may want to turn to such a service.

The question being posed was put to Bet Lynch by Liz Mcdonald in a camp episode of Coronation Street. It’s always appealed to me as a funny exchange, most likely penned by a gay scriptwriter. Bet’s winning reply was:

“Well, if it does cock, I’m in ‘t bargain bucket wi’ yer.”

So here’s a gay Agony Uncle’s attempt to answer to an imaginary young crewmember’s dilemma. Read the rest of this entry »

Gay Spanking - much more than a pain in the ass

Gay spanking is very erotic

Gay spanking is very erotic

It’s time we looked at gay spanking as a  popular safe-sex activity, a sexual therapy, and as a particular turn-on. For some, spanking and corporal punishment in general is seen as an unfortunate fetish linked to childhood or schooldays, and while such associations may well play their part, on the whole the gay experience may transform  these into a positive force for good.

When viewed as a sexual component of  straight as well as gay behaviour, the attraction of spanking requires deeper evaluation. Desmond Morris, famous for books like The Naked Ape and tv series about manwatching and body language, studied zoology before trying to relate animal behaviour to human character traits in the newer field of ethology. Morris links the enjoyment of spanking to its rhythmic similarity to human intercouse, to a like pounding of the flesh. Read the rest of this entry »
