Mostly top, but there is one way that I will bottom.

What I have found interesting is the many men on social sites out there that claim to be a top and yet when asked they say they will bottom for me.  :drool2:

I just think it was the time of day and the day that it was uploaded. It now has been snatched over ten times.

What is your favorite Leather porn, that doesn't have a BDSM element?

I like Muscles in Leather from Colt. It has the leather feature I like, but none of the BDSM elements.

Looking for ideas for the SIG

What would make this the best SIG board on the forum?

What do you want to get out of this SIG?

What do you feel would drive people to the board with new threads.

List any comments or suggests that you have about the board.

Arquez

According to many this pretty boy is really bad. He is notorious for his online Twitter battles with fans, and has been plagued by rumors of domestic violence. He has recently quit performing in porn , but continues to expand his enterprise. All in all he has thrived even with the nasty rumor mills that swirl around him.

Austin Wilde

Austin has been stiring the pot for a while now. He made a bold step to leave a major studio due to his AIDS fears, he landed on his feet and has opened a new site. He also has dealt with rumors of having internalized racist issues due to his rumored lack of support for or with black men in the industry. It was a rumor, which he worked to dispel on his own site, by working with and introducing Robbie R.

Brock Webster

Brock Webster has a storied history of his legacy of having disdain for men of color like himself. Rumors have been numerous by both fellow performers and community members and fans. Though he has done a couple of scenes with men of color the rumors persist.

Castro Supreme

Castro Supreme is very popular and well known. He has made a big name for himself, but has also pulled his share of controversy as well. His infamous bottoming scene with Tiger Tyson drew a lot of criticism and his move now to claim that he is purely heterosexual and is only working in straight porn, has brought the wraith of many porn watchers and fans who felt that he was "faking" and "denying" his sexuality.

Chase Coxx

Chase has been a magnet for many dramas. He is active on Twitter and speaks his mind, but that also causes a lot of issues with fans, other performers, and companies. From his painted fingernails to his bragging about who he has had sex with many have found him to be to much drama.

Diesel Washington

Diesel Washington seems to thrive in controversy. He has made some very profound statements that brought him issues with black and Latino porn fans the world over. He has also rifled the feathers of many of the big studio producers. He is said to have burned to many bridges to work in the industry, but he has made his way to DawgpoundUSA and is making his "Directioral" debut. The only issue is that a lot of the urban audiences may not support the film due to their distaste or distrust.

Drilla

Drilla is a new performer with an amazing dick, but he has made a lot of fans very angry. The general sense is that he is ungracious and egotistical. The major controversy arose when he was associated with  Gay Men's Health Crisis while performing in bareback porn. This brought debate from all sides both in defense and in opposition.

Eddie Diaz

Once one of the most popular porn performers in the industry and now has clearly dropped out of sight. Rumors of diva like attitudes and anti-social behavior may have killed his career.

Hotrod

Hotrod has an amazing group of devoted followers, but Hotrod also has a devoted group of enemies and those that despise him. He has had to battle rumors of butt implants, diva like attitude, not being smart, and explosive relationships. He also has had Twitter battles with other porn performers. He seems to have survived it all and recently announced his retirement from filming.

Kory Mitchell

Kory started in this industry as a rawnchy bareback pig, that was never a problem. The fans became very upset when Kory stated that he was not attracted to black men. He later clarified that he likes all types of men, but his preference was white daddy's. It clarified his thought, but it did more when he starred in several scenes with other men of color including Jordan Stone and Noah Paris.

Lawson Kane

Lawson may have followed the exact same path as Eddie Diaz. There has been consistent rumors of heavy drug use, internalized racism, diva like attitudes, and egotism.

Sarge

This pansexual never revealed all of himself in the beginning. He is a serious award winner for his performances in porn, but the major controversy came when asked about his sexual orientation he claimed "straight". This started a firestorm from fan-dom. Then you add his performance with TS Madison aka "Big Dick Bitch" and you had a perfect storm. Though he is still loved and lusted for he definitely made a place in the controverisies of the industry.

Trappboy

Trappboy has "retired" from performing in films, but this performer left a trail of controversies from his Twitter battles with fellow porn performers, his polarizing video commentaries, his push for safer sex practices while posting raw homemade vids on XTube, his epic battle with his former porn company producers, to his launch and non-launch of his own company. Trappboy has had to deal with rumors of narcisism and mercurial behaviors that many felt overshadowed his great screen performances.

Gay men are stereotypically described as "artsy." In that light, it would make sense that gay men are all readers. Of course, we know that not to be so; otherwise, gay tomes would top the best-seller charts. Then again, many of them do just that. Well, at least Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are" rests at number 23 this week, according to USA Today.

Some of the very best writing every published came from the minds and pens of gay writers. To miss out on some of this literature would be a shame. Just think - William Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, T.E. Lawrence, Herman Melville, E.M. Forster, W. Somerset Maugham. Some of the greatest names in literature, drama, poetry are those of gay men.

A recent publication is Richard Canning's Fifty Gay and Lesbian Books Everybody Should Read (discussed in more detail later). It would seem that for all the years that the written word has been in print that 50 would be a bare minimum for someone to get through. After all, there are books of gay fiction, non-fiction, plays, poetry, fantasy, biography…and the list goes on.

Clearly, in reading some of our favorite authors, there is much to learn. Often, the protagonists are gay themselves, and we can get a particular insight into the mores of the times, the culture of the times, even the acceptance or lack thereof for those who are gay by the remainder of the population. It is worthwhile to invest in a library that will complement the copies of Unzipped, Manhunt and all the other fleshy magazines that constitute the gay genre.

Herewith, a synopsis of some of the most interesting, provocative, beneficial and smart books that have been produced by gay authors. Check them out and see if you're not enchanted and enlightened.

In the Eye of the Storm: Swept to the Center by God, written by Bishop Eugene Robinson
Eugene Robinson is Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. Because he is gay and a bishop, of course, there is a world of controversy surrounding the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. His book provides us with an insightful view of his life, the faith that he has professed and continues to follow and the tempest that surrounds him.

The Mayor of Castro Street, written by Randy Shilts
Harvey Milk was a hero for so many gay men, and remains so. His life was portrayed for all the world to see in the 2008 motion picture "Milk," for which Sean Penn won the Academy Award as Best Actor. The 1984 film "The Times of Harvey Milk" was awarded the Academy Award for Best Documentary. Milk was known as "The Mayor of Castro Street," and he was San Francisco's first openly gay man to win elective office, to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Here, Shilts gives us a look at Milk's personal life as well as his public life. His 1996 assassination galvanized the gay community throughout the nation. This is a powerful read, worth the trouble for anyone who's seen the movie, and a valuable re-read for those who've already taken the time to read it.

Role Models, written by John Waters
Has there been a more inventive, albeit controversial, moviemaker in our lifetimes than John Waters? His work with Divine; and his marvelous, subversive sense of humor and timing; have led us to some of the best movies of the generation. Here, he provides us with an amusing ride through the influences he has had throughout his career - people like sexy crooner Johnny Mathis, the controversial atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair, noted playwright Tennessee Williams - all to let us know where in the world John Waters is coming from. His comedic sense will delight and entrance.

Tales of the City, written by Armistead Maupin
Maupin's splendid tale of the inhabitants of the legendary 28 Barbary Lane has enchanted millions throughout the past three decades. Life is no longer as it is, and the moments and circumstances of the changing landscape are captured in his engaging and humorous prose. Of course, the inquisitive reader will want to take advantage of the entire series of stories, evocative of the changes in our lives that have taken place.

A Single Man, written by Christopher Isherwood
Despite his loneliness, George, a middle-aged, gay Englishman, must adapt to his new life as a single man, following the sudden death of his partner. The novel takes place in Southern California, where George is a professor. Alienated as he is from society, we see his joy of life through the contact he has with the outside world, in combination with his own considerations of life. We experience the very fabric of life in this humorous, ironic and somber novel. Edmund White called it "one of the first and best novels of the modern gay liberation movement."

The Berlin Stories, written by Christopher Isherwood
The Berlin Stories comprises two novellas, The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin, set in Berlin in 1931, as the Hitler and the Nazi party were rising to power. In the first, Mr. Norris, a nefarious sort, is befriended by the narrator, one William Bradshaw. The second, reflected of Isherwood's own experiences in Berlin, contain reflections from various friends, acquaintances, landlords, roommates and others as they navigate through the charms and vices of Berlin. Sally Bowles, introduced as a character in the second, lived on in stage and screen presentations of "I Am A Camera" and "Cabaret."

Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked The Gay Revolution, written by David Carter
The 1969 riots against the police in Greenwich Village, precipitated by a raid on The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, changed history. Perhaps the first time that homosexuals fought back against the political system that persecuted them, Stonewall is seen as the benchmark for the institution of civil rights for gays. Carter's research provides extraordinary detail into the riots, the aftermath and the full story of one of the most significant events in gay history.

The Meaning of Matthew, written by Judy Shepherd.
Matthew Shepard was beaten to death in 1998 simply because he was gay. His death signaled a change in the American temperament as it related to hate crimes. Since his death, we have seen a greater acceptance of gays and lesbians by society, and the expansion of various rights. Nevertheless, the struggle continues, and now Judy Shepherd, Matthew's mom, lets us into her life and the changes that resulted from his heartbreaking death. Motivated to activism, she worked vigilantly for the passage of the hate crimes bill that was signed into law late in 2009.

The Best Little Boy in the World, written by Andrew Tobias
Here is a tome that has been suggested, re-suggested and continually touted as a must-read for someone trying to come to grips with the indication that he may be gay. Tobias' own website asks the question, "What's this book about?" and then provides the answer: "Don't ask, don't tell." And, of course, The New York Times described it as "uniquely frank." When he wrote it, he had to use a pseudonym, John Reid, because the subject was taboo. That best little boy didn't masturbate, he honored his parents, he was an honors student and athlete and an extraordinary corporate executive. He was also a closet case. As the Times also said, "one reads this utterly honest account with the shock of recognition." Twenty-five years later, Tobias wrote "The Best Little Boy in the World Grows Up," which ought to be on this list as well.

Maurice, written by E.M. Forster
We first meet Maurice as a 14-year-old and in public school; we follow him to Cambridge, where he excels and moves into his father's brokerage business. Growing into the business and into life as a typical Cambridge man, Maurice is everything his Dad wishes for him to be, except for one small item - he is homosexual. Forster's novel is said "to be ahead of its time" because of the gay theme and the thought that there could actually be happiness in the love between men. Sadly, not every gay couple in these times sees the happiness that they desire.

Waiting to Land, written by Martin Duberman
Duberman brings us up to date, covering the period from 1985 to 2008, as a follow-up to his two previous autobiographical books, Cures and Midlife Queer. Here he tells us of his establishment of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) and his service on the original board of Queers for Economic Justice. He expresses his disdain for what he's seen in the gay movement; his thoughts that as gay becomes more mainstream in society, there is a loss of uniqueness and standing for earlier ideals becomes less evident. Maintaining a sense of primacy in the gay movement is paramount in his mind, and there's undoubtedly plenty of proverbial "food for thought" in this meaty memoir.

The Naked Civil Servant, written by Quentin Crisp
Crisp was flamboyant, having made it a priority to let the world know that his homosexuality wasn't going to prevent him from enjoying life as it was intended for him, nor that it should deter any other gay man from enjoyment. He says "as soon as I stepped out of my mother's womb, I realized that I'd made a mistake." In comedic terms, and with all frankness, Crisp tells of his encounters with his parents, soldiers and sailors, the law, making it clear that his intent was to live life unvarnished.

Mapping the Territory, written by Christopher Bram
Bram, an essayist of renown over the last quarter century, has accumulated, in this first non-fiction book, a variety of topics, including his coming-out in Virginia in the 1970s. He also discusses why he and his partner are not desirous of marriage, how it felt to see his novel Gods and Monsters be made into an Academy-Award winning movie with the great gay actor Ian McKellan. Bram also tells us of some of the reading he did when he was coming to grips with himself as a gay man. He provides us with his insight on Greenwich Village, and shares his ideas on life with wit, elan and grace.

Fifty Gay and Lesbian Books Everybody Should Read, written by Richard Canning
Undoubtedly, many readers have picked up some of the texts that are contained in this collection of essays from a wide variety of critics, authors and others. It is illuminating to recognize the need to sample the thoughts of so many who've opined on gay (and lesbian) life. Discussed are such topics as what constitutes gay or lesbian literature; politics; diversity throughout the populace. Recognizing the contributions of gay literature to life is part of the rationale. Will you have the time to pick up each of these 50 books? Perhaps a better question is whether you'll take the time to pick them up to begin with. Canning makes a strong case for each of these books, and the well-read gay will find the time.

There you have it. Fourteen books, reflecting truth and beauty, sex and love, the primacy of gay life. For those who are still searching and trying to come to grips with being gay, who want to know more about the lives and loves of those who've gone before, either through fiction or non-fiction, adding these titles to your library will be worthwhile. If, of course, adding books to a personal library is beyond someone's reach, keep in mind the public libraries will carry most all these titles as well.

Simple way to explain it would be online classifieds. You can buy, sell, look for: sex, friends. Reach out to people you have lost contact with.

@dknasty:

As in having a purely physical relationship? sex only

I think you need to define the type of relationship you are questioning.

Can two people get together do nothing but have sex all the time. Yes. It that a relationship. Yes

Can two people enter a "Domestic Relationship" that is only based on sex. Sure, will the relationship last. Sure. Will it be healthy, I would have my doubts.

It is not the same as buying a new car. Having children is the same as getting married, you feel it in your very bones if it is right.

If it is something you feel you have to do, then do it. But before you make the leap, think long and hard if you can live without their approval.

On what level would it hide hatred. Not all people use PC terms, this in a way it shows hatred. Also not all PC terms deal with race some with gender. It use to be policeman, then policewoman, then police officer now it is law enforcement officer. Society needs to move away from gender specific terms and for the English language that will be difficult since there really are no non-gender pronouns. He and She, It.

Abs for sure.

What was your favorite comic growing up?

I would have to say back issues of Warlord and The Darkness. Warlord just for the mostly naked man and The Darkness had a edgy quality.

What is your story?
