Your New Mothership Profile

Hi webuser

Your New Mothership Profile

We’ve given your profile a big update.  Now you can enjoy a lot more space to tell others about yourself, and you’ll find updating your profile a lot easier.

In comes:

- Space
- Clarity
- X-Tube video embeds
- Easier customisation

Out goes:

- View controls
- Themes
- Colour pallettes
- Hard to read text

Please note we have axed ‘View Controls’ - this gave you the ability to display or hide parts of your profile.  However, most guys found this confusing so now if it’s loaded, it’s up.  So take a moment to check out your new profile, and if you’d like a section removed, simply delete all the content in that section and it will auto-remove.  You can preview your profile from the Dashboard.

Keep Your Gay Dating Real – Fake Photos Out!

A Mothership Gay Dating Member - amateur photos can look great too

One of the occasional problems with online gay dating is when guys use photographs of other guys.  The anonymity of the Internet makes this practice easy, and short of gay dating sites demanding photo ID (which would be commercial suicide) we’re stuck with controlling the problem rather than eradicating it.

However, the practice is still relatively rare, and there are a number of signs you can spot when you’re suspicious of another member’s photo.

Photo Does Not Match Online Personal Stats

This is the biggest giveaway.  If eye colour is listed as ‘blue’ then a photo of someone with brown eyes clearly isn’t them.  Other common errors include hairy/smooth, height, hair colour and even ethnicity.

If they have any X-rated pics up, you’ll be surprised how many fake photographs show a cut or uncut penis, when their stats list otherwise! Read the rest of this entry »

Gay Guys Love Tattoos

Gay guys find tattoos very sexy

A poll on the Mothership Gay Forums shows gay men love tattoos! 70% of those who responded said they were sexually attracted by tattoos on a guy - and 50% said they found tattoos extremely erotic. Just 10% didn’t like them.

Getting a tattoo is a big decision as removal is very expensive and will rarely remove all traces of the tattoo. If you’re thinking of getting tattooed then check out the Mothership tattoo guide:

Matt Lucas flatters Susan Boyle by imitation!

As tomorrow night’s live Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals loom, hot favourite Susan Boyle appears to have strong gay support. Miss Boyle, 48, stunned the nation by her dramatic performance of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from Les Miserables which was aired on ITV on 11 April 2009.
