FALL Into Someone's Butt (itt a gaggle of gays make sass in Q4 2013)

I had a promising date yesterday! With a guy!

how far was the fall into his butt?

*holds up hands*

I really hope my office is monitoring webpage titles *slow burn*

Fall into whose butt?

David Ehrenstein with the longest, queerest, most personal, clip-laden remembrance yet of film/opera/theatre director Patrice Chéreau:

http://fablog.ehrensteinland.com/2013/10/08/catastrophe/

Wouldn't expect anything less from someone who has repeatedly called Those Who Love Me Can Take The Train the best movie ever made.

When, during an "I don't want to date you anymore" dinner, do you tell the person that you don't want to date them anymore but you do truly want to be friends? Before during or after

I had two of those meals in a row and lost my nerve. It must be done at the end of a non-eating date as you're dropping them off.

Yeah food has no place in that sort of thing. Waste of food tbh, it's not like it'll taste nice in those circumstances

i once broke it off with an ex after a dinner date. i had planned on doing it that way because i sure as hell didn't want to discuss it at the actual restaurant, but i felt so sick about it that i was pretty much miserable and silent throughout the meal and hardly touched my food

Dinner dates are a ritual of domesticity so it's kind of cruel to plan to break up during one, imo

Breaking up over e-mail/text message is highly underrated.

If I'm taking a lover I'm going to consign to friend out to dinner, I'm not going to tell him during a good dinner that I'm consigning him to friendship. Since presumably I wouldn't go through the trouble of doing this with a boyfriend but only with a trick who didn't work out, I'll do it over the phone.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR TELLING ME HOW WRONG I WAS UGH

He acted nice about it but I could tell he was kind of frustrated that it took me two weeks of like reciprocating his flirtiness to realize I no longer wanted to. We were walking and I told him I still rly wanted to be pals for real and he was kind of like "we can try but I don't think that'll work out" and then was v abruptly all OKAY I'M GONNA GO THIS WAY, SEE YA

And then turned the corner and walked away

i got invited to some sort of mock prom thing tomorrow by this super flirty guy i know. then later in the conversation, he mentions he has a girlfriend. crossed wires maybe, but i don't know if he expected for me to come alone with him and his gf or what. guess i'll just come up with some excuse. drunk & kinda bummed.

Oh my I didn't know Patrice Chéreau died. That is sad and horrible news. Gabrielle is possibly my favourite film of the last decade. RIP big man.

I'll try Gabrielle sometime. Don't know why I've never seen it..

i think i'm one of the only people who is very keen on it so i wouldn't get your hopes too high.

I am 'keen' on it, so that settles that!

Butt is it art?

I love that soooo much

That was basically the best Ryan McGinley polaroid

ws

'The key thing about performance art is that it should only be performed once, and this is the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime performance,” he claims.

my ex would agree: buttsex is performance art you should perform only once

Kinda with him there

depends if there's a sling around, and who's in it

slings don't make any actual sense.

tot theatrical, it's true.

i always liked the idea of a hammock for buttsex but when i tried it i realized pendulum motion doesn't really match what goes on during anal penetration.

always wanted to get f****d in a sling

(is this where the convo should be moved to the TMI thread?)

depends on what the asterisks stand for

fisting doesnt work with pendulum physics either.

i dont know from experience but it just doesnt make sense. it's theatrical yes but sometimes props just start to get in the way.

nah slings are awesome

I could draw you a diagram, if i did that

good for gangbangs in sex clubs

I've had one experience w/ a sling and it was very awesome. Nothing to do w/ theater or pendulum motion - it was great b/c of positioning and mobility.

yeah, like the angle is perfect (for both/all partners)

I have had no actual IRL experience w/ a sling (which kind of surprises me at this point)

yay i'm glad the thread has finally returned to sensuous muck

the slings and butts of outrageous fortune

Queerty's 10 GUYS WHO MADE US REALIZE WE'RE GAY, 80S EDITION

I went to like 3 parties last night and just woke up in a jockstrap next to some guy I've never met on a pull out sofa bed

also my nails look great

:o

i went to a party thrown by some married homo friends of ours, met an amazingly hot muscle bear whose last name is actually burl3y

I watched baseball at Julius'

Halloween sucks almost as much as The Shining

(unless you're Stevie i guess, good job)

come to chicago and watch zulawski movies with me

We did not interact at all until this morning when we gradually over the course of abt 2 hours (and both like pretending to be asleep) sort of nonchalantly touched legs and then touched arms and then y'know

soon, cloudsy! <3

Lou Reed has reunited w/ his drag queen ex.

The men of West Hollywood are something else, something bad, what is this, I am even hating their dogs. I am only window-shopping of course but I imagine that sex with any of these homos would be as fussy as their part lines. Somebody explain this to me. Is there something I'm missing

Apologies to any Wehomos up in here of course but the test group has been flunking

there's a reason i never stray over there

i went to a joint gay wedding at an antiques store last night

Yeah Weho was p abysmal when I went

I mean it's for the sorts of people that think having a cocktail called the Bossy Bottom is "funny"

Aren't bossy bottoms funny?

Kevin Spacey can be funny

Calling somebody a bossy bottom is funny

The last time I was round here I went to an actual Halloween party at Brent Corrigan's (?) with Rollie P (?). Every gay man (which was everyone) was dressed as Peter Pan. There were four women in attendance and they were all of them Dorothy. This sounds like an exaggeration!! it isn't

So far the highlight of my week was dinner and drinks with Lord Sotosyn!

17 year old version of me would've been really jealous of someone hanging at brent corrigan's house

34-year-old me is jealous Brent Corrigan has has a house.

just googled Brent Corrigan

what's a google?

17 year old version of me would've been really jealous of someone hanging at brent corrigan's house

I was 28 and felt like an oldster. And was not interested in the shiny chested boyos. I did like that Brent referred to hisself repeatedly as "product", and I've affected that expression a couple times since

35 year old me is more jealous of fgti and Lord Sotosyn for getting to hang out with each other than for anyone who gets to hang with Brent Corrigan.

It sure was. You liked the beets!

I got irl goosebumps when you were talking about Bowie, granted I was on Nightcap #2 but irl Bowiebumps

Yesterday I told someone that I wanted to be his exhausting weekend. I am p proud of this statement; feel free to borrow & use it.

RIP Doug Ireland, as little as two weeks ago an antidote to the JoeMyGods of the world. First read him in the Village Voice in the '80s, I'm pretty sure.

Another new friend is shocked to learn that I'm queer. What am I doing wrong?

You're not hitting on your friends.

"I had a vague idea when you were wearing your Pauline Kael shirt..." wtf?

Another new friend is shocked to learn that I'm queer.

I always say THANK YOU!

P Kael shirt, you know, the faded era of cultured queers mourned by Adam Brody in Damsels in Distress. (I'll even give you a pass on my ambivalence toward her!)

Woah, now I really need to see Damsels in Distress!

Kael isn't mentioned.

Yeah, but Stillman has been on my mind a bit lately ever since the Mansfield Park/Metropolitan connection was pointed out to me (I would never have picked up on it the first time through).

hi gays.

my life remains filled with not-getting-enough-schoolwork-done and not enough seeing the boy even though we live together cause he has so much school and also work.

but it's a nice sort of boring? significantly less socializing since fgti headed out on the road, but i've been cooking many delicious things.

slings etc. sound much more exciting though.

He mentioned how awesome you were, I said how terrible we haven't met.

Hi Alex!

hi! Alex is awesome, i have met him; hope to be in Montreal in
March.

I want to know all of you.

Alex is awesome. Goon tie is also awesome. I hope to meet the rest of you all one day to confirm your awesomeness as well.

I HATE ALL OF YOU

j / k

come to salt lake city so we can sit together

and teetotal

i need to do a u.s. tour

Miss you Alex! West Hollywood has turned out to be super interesting, there is a "gayest store on earth" and rainbow-coloured crosswalks and a cake-ball store called "Plops". Was gonna kill myself but instead I'm going out as Putin tonight

what's the key to a Putin do-up?

http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/07/07/putin_wideweb__470x351,0.jpg

I just had an interview that went well for a job working with with lgbtq youth of color! So excited. I also had a couple mediocre dates with milquetoast Seattle indie dudes. I bought the most adorable little white dress with red trim yesterday that I'm gonna wear to a party tonight.

So it's been a pretty gay week for me, but absent of dick. :(

Also, someone's sending me a steel buttplug.

Like ... repeatedly?

Ha, that's buttplug singular.

I surrendered my bag of candy to one trick or treater. I dislike Halloween.

Tomorrow I hope to get laid with an acquaintance who wants to meet at a North Miami piano bar and whose boyfriend is out of town.

i am lying on a couch eating a potato knish and not wearing a dress.

pics?

Kate78 just hooked me up with some cute accessories <3

we need to see somthin'

Last night I painted my nails while watching Sex and the City

That might be even gayer than the time I met Martha Wash at a NYC Pride rally wearing a Keith Haring shirt

Or that one time I went into Williams-Sonoma

don't try so hard, you're fine

last night ph1l and i watched beetlejuice.

last night I watched Rosemary's Baby and listened to Sally Can't Dance.

Last night I crossed two more off of my "I should see these sometime" list: The Blob (blah) and The Masque of the Red Death (sorta fun, I guess).

The original Blob or the remake? Pretty big fan of the latter.

Original. Really liked the remake as a kid, but haven't seen it since then.

The original doesn't even work as a Red Scare allegory (the punk kids are the ones trying to save the old fogies from "the blob"--huh?). Only good thing about it, really, is the hotness of McQueen's three buddies.

Last night I watched Francisco Rosi's Lucky Luciano, one of the chilliest and most bureacratic gangster films ever mad. (high praise obv)

My remaining family will be at Disney World for Thanksgiving, perhaps I'll watch some horror then. (love Masque of the Red Death btw)

also my friggin' chemo pills arrived in the mail 6 days late, God bless the horror of U.S. (fully insured through wage slavery) healthcare.

I went to TheeSatisfaction's Black Weirdo party with my roommate and danced with a guy and got his number.

Annual experimental gay film fest has TWO All About Eve-related shorts on Sat night.

Some snowy night in front of the fire.

We can have martinis, please. Very dry.

I went on a "date" with a scientist nearly twice my age last night!

Not enough data for a hypothesis on those scare quotes.

We roll in the same circles and his last name is only a few letters off from mine and I saw him at a bar a few weeks ago and told him that he was my arch-nemesis; he suggested instead that we be arch-friends and then bought me a drink.

Last night we got drinks and played Quizzo as The D*cks and came in second place. He has an adorable smile and a bike and a house in Provincetown. Is this perfection?

Can't sleep, kind of nervous, I have ball phear, hoping it's nothing. Really don't want to have anything to do with Frank Zappa. Also I'd like to keep both my balls. Happily I have a friend who's a friend with a urologist and I'm getting ultra-sounded tomorrow. Yesterday my best friend told me to save some so we could be parents, and she was serious, which is a nice thing to hear. There were also some speculative prosthetic replacement discussions-- ping-pong ball to inhibit scrotal sag? a spiked ball for his pleasure?

good luck, dear O

I have a really hot friend w/ one ball, btw

this thread sucks balls lately

http://www.gotoquiz.com/results/the_how_gay_r_u_quiz

23 percent, ftr

You are 44% Homosexual

You're a little bit Metro...: Although it's clear you're not gay, you still have an air of faggotry around you. No one ever really questions your sexuality, but they wouldn't be suprosed if they saw you with Mitch or Moe.

Results bound to be inaccurate on account of there being no "None of the Above" option for the musicals listed.

Yeah, each one of them could've used a none of the above.

39%

I went w/ "Kohl's" cuz apparently that's a dept store, and there were no thrift choices.

Kohl's is basically the thrift store of dept stores.

ok

i can't figure out whether the lovely beard on you should be a + or -

On my gay score? It's probably the only thing that's keeping me out of negative integers.

You're a little bit Metro...: Although it's clear you're not gay, you still have an air of faggotry around you.

I had to guess at the clothing question though.

Oops; 49%.

Balls intact, I just had kidney-stones, and swollen man-parts as a result. Apparently humans are meant to drink water? Who knew? Had a v gay evening otherwise with ex-friend-now-friends-again Joel Gibb and we lay on a couch and talked about the times we did drugs and had sex with women. Straight friends were present, "we're you all like, 'whoa this is one slippery asshole'?" ha ha ha ha ha

The moral: don't sex women if you want to keep your balls.

see that's what I was saying

jeez you are fulla surprises, but I'm glad yer OK.

Hi gays. Long time. An august journal called Jump Cut has just published my essay "The Gay-for-pay Gaze in Gay Male Pornography." It comes with text-only and NSFW versions. Enjoy!
http://www.ejumpcut.org/currentissue/BozelkaGayForPay/index.html

Bookmarked for when I have time to read anything this long that isn't school-related. Looks awesome, though (and I'm not just referring to the images).

looking forward to reading that Kevin!

Guys I am having weird boy drama right now (months-long string of unsuccessful first dates, weird rejections, general timidness and inability to "make the first move", a sense of bitter competitiveness with friends who appear more successful with less effort, general feelings of inadequacy and not being attractive or outgoing or desirable enough, etc.). Last night for instance I met up with this guy I've been talking to for a few weeks; conversation was really awkward and stunted at first but I stuck with it and we eventually kinda hit it off and hung out for like 4 hours. I invited him back to my apt, and he said yes, and then on the walk to the trolley we realize he was just over my apt Tuesday to hook up with my roommate (which he said was fun), and we laughed about it but then I spent the whole trolley ride home feeling weird and envious and stuff bcz rmm8 seems to be able to find people to bring home with ease and it is like impossible for me, and then we get to my apt bldg and I go up the steps and he just stands there and then says "Hey, I'm having a weird feeling about this, I think I'm just gonna go back home" (which was like 5 blocks and also he did not ask if I wanted to join), which was kinda crushing after the triumph of like "you did it and were forward and came out of yr shell and risked rejection and it was successful!" and then like "lol j/k false alarm you still don't got it!" or w/e

I know a lot of this is in my head but someone tell me happy and reaffirming things plz

o shit dat was long

Stevie, it's not your fault this trick felt strange about returning to the place where he sexxed a man who happens to be your roommate. In his loafers I wouldn't have minded, but again, that's not your fault.

Ya but we were thinking abt going to his place initially too

I mean idk maybe he just thought it was weird that we knew each other, idk. But this is just sorta one example of a bunch of things that keep happening

Oh yay, I'm allowed back in this thread! I ran into a guy I used to hook up with at a party. We made out on the dance floor for about 15 minutes, then left.

together?

I thought that was implied.

Not on the small screen known as the contemporary smart phone.

eff small screens

why would I when we've got assholes?

there's a Dolly Parton tribute night at the Nowhere bar tonight

I just hooked up w/ a Pinups model and I kinda feel like I've unlocked some sort of achievement in queer metropolitan hipster rpg

tooooooootally fell into his butt btw

face first

omg i am getting so fresh

http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/omfg.gif

so fresh, so clean

i have gender issues lol :-(
srs, too

seeing a therapist soon though =]

my first question obv being "what are gender issues" i'm schizo* btw

one of those autosexual myopic young teens who goes through "being a man", or with a 'macho' or "religious" chauvanistic sensibility problem and then develops a sensitiveness that has so many emotional and intellectual problems i couldn't begin to define them.

sad huh

so sorry to hear that, i know it can be stressful. Let me know how it goes.

hello Phoebe. i wish you well.

Good luck Phoebe/color.

Grindr's CEO is a fucking tool. Besides the self-serving crap (which I skimmed tbh) about the app making the world safe for gays, there's this

And to those critics who say Grindr is superficial and reduces gay men to physical ideals, he responded with a smile.

“Fanstastic! I love it. Absolutely. Look good. I’m very proud if Grindr has forced us to up up our game. To brush our teeth. Comb our hair. Eat right. Go to the gym. Be a healthy person. Cut back on the smoking. Cut back on the bad things and look your best. We’re men. We visualize. We see before we hear, before we think, before we do anything else. That’s how we are. I haven’t changed that. That’s what our evolution has taught us to do. I certainly go to the gym more because of Grindr. I’m competing with the guy a space away from me on that grid.”

oh for fuck's sake

and I bet he's one of those gays who will find a way to reproduce.

tbh when haven't guys thought like Grindr CEO? Thought before they see. See before they hear.

Fall before they butt.

Man evolutionary psych arguments are NAGL in general, but especially coming from a gay dude in 2013, the whole invocation of What Nature Intended seems just as credulous and mystical as when fundies invoke What God Intended, surely there are better ways to justify trolling for dick

then again, it can hardly be a surprise that the Grindr CEO would be a tool

the app crashes like a bastard these days anyway lol

Shallowness is common and maybe even "natural" in some way, but this guy doesn't just advocate staying entrenched in it, but suggests that it's a really great thing. Here's hoping he's allergic to Botox and Rogaine.

"Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we were placed on this earth rise above."

http://www.movieactors.com/freezeframes33/africanqueen65.jpeg

Those affectations of shallowness probably hide a guy who cried during Brokeback Mountain and calls his buddies "girlfriend."

Though if it makes even one man brush his teeth, then it's all worth it.

I keep a toothbrush in every desk and a butt in every butthole.

I Lost a Toothbrush in His Asshole

Having a roommate with a bunch of gay male friends (a talent I've never mastered) has provided some....umm....opportunities.

idgi like opportunities to go shopping or watch Golden Girls?

"Thank you for being my friiiiend..."

xp no, neither of those

Can someone here please give me a quotable definition of what "queering a text" entails/consists of? Google surprisingly useless here...

I may be off the mark here but I think that it's looking at a piece of lit through a queer lens? The "-ing" part makes me think that it's also applied to lit that isn't traditionally thought to have a queer perspective.

I dunno, I'm probably wrong on all this (and I have an English degree too).

calling "a tune is space" to thread now

Murgatroid, you are OTM.

The fun (and also sorta maddening, because maybe it becomes meaningless) thing about the word "queer" is that for some people it indicates:

Definition 1: gay / lesbian / bi / trans / questioning sexualities, sexual cultures, bodies, pleasures and communities

and for some people it indicates:

Definition 2: that which conceptually resists legibility, norms, or identification as such

so you could "queer" a text by either hunting in a text for characters, activities, bodies or pleasures that look Queer according to Definition 1 (i.e. possibly gay or lesbian people / acts / doings) or you could "queer" a text by looking for that within the text which seems to violate its own codes, enabling assumptions, or norms. There's an on-again, off-again, sometimes bitter battle in queer theory about whether to go with Def. 1 or Def. 2. The latest salvo was Valerie Traub's essay "The New Unhistoricism in Queer Studies" in the PMLA.

I could go on . . .

Seems like it's MUCH easier to queer a text via the second def. than the first. With the first def, I can see things becoming, uhh, problematic whereas with the second definition, you're only looking at the text alone and not bringing anything into it.

Rev has queered a lot of texts in the last month for example

the moral is: everything is gay

^^^ winter gay thread title

*except Eric H.

too In Utero

I was working on a queer film festival once w my friends and we were trying to come up with a title but "Queering the Frame" was too heteronormal apparently and they wanted to make it like "Quëër(ing) (the) Phrame" or something in an attempt to "queer language" and we had to be like "guys seriously no"

Like "some people are not 100% immersed in feminist/queer theory 24/7 and might find this idk a tad impenetrable and pretentious and there is a chance they may not unpack this as 'oh hey look how they queered that language!'"

we wound up calling it "Let's Get Married And Have A Baby!"

we'll call him Eric. If he's a boy.

And thank you Murgatroid as well. This is basically the definition I was looking for but could not actually find put into words (anyone who discusses "queering" seems to assume--reasonably?--that the reader already knows what it means).

Yeah, I think you're right crypto that people just deploy it as a verb form without clarifying that gesture. From memory, the first book that I saw to use this formulation was Jonathan Goldberg's edited collection "Queering the Renaissance", and the title kind of performs some work by implication- the Renaissance is a high cultural thing that is going to be made "queer" through reading practices that will help us to see that there are available moments of queerness even in a historical period supposedly antecedent to the 19th century sexological constructions of "homosexuality" as an identity and "heterosexuality" as a back formation from that. In practice, most work in premodern sexuality studies can be split into camps along the lines proposed by the Definition Question above, though there are also people who straddle (queer?) the line itself. I'm in an anthology called, uh, "Shakesqueer" that does the same work of both showing-the-past-to-be-already-queer and making-the-past-queer-with-presentist-reading-practices. So I'm pretty familiar with this kind of historiographic handwringing about termminology.

I'll queer your text bb

safe only plz

ups guy is friends with coworker. ups guy (40-something? older than 35) always says "heyyy buuudd" and "see ya later buudd" to (straight) coworker when coming and going.

thoughts on bud
1. bud seems faintly homosexual in a long-time-ago, recalling-pubescence kind of way
2. bro replaced bud because incest taboo makes it easier to protect masculinity from the danger of loving men (trying to phrase this in a way that underlines how it's fucked up)
3. having only encountered "bud" in the online gaysex profiles of older-than-30 men ten years ago, i feel like it has an outmoded, kinda bittersweet air to it.
4. who says 'bud' now?
5. who said 'bud' when it was a thing?
6. was it ever a thing and what kind of thing was it?

4. who says 'bud' now?

I do, bud.

do you? who do you say it to? besides me.

Last time: Ennis to Jack in BBM.

ha! i can't remember that. i'll have to re-watch.

I like saying "buddy" more than "bud"

My dad says "bud" to me sometimes but he also says "dude" and "man" and gives me weed so

"Have some bud, bud"

our university president says "bud" to employees when he wants to project condescending bonhomie.

i've used "buddy" a few times, feels good xp lol

i think i can picture this. how old is he?

seems like it can definitely mean "you, junior person, would enjoy to be called this"

Sixty-three. A round, cheerful, horrible man.

i have a few straight male friends who call me "bud" or "buddy", but they're all older than me and i think it's a semi-ironic little brother thing

a friend was once hitting on some guy at a party who ended it by saying he just wanted to be buddies, prompting the response "you wanna be my buddy?! i wanna suck your dick!"

hahaa

xp woah are you from Austin? I heard the same story from a friend

"bud" has always, always, ALWAYS creeped me the fuck out

I could never feel comfortable or confident saying "bud," or "bro," or even "man." Nor, really, would I really want to.

i love "bud" — both being called and calling.

I've said "man" every other sentence since I learned to talk.

(possibly a black thing)

lol, fuck. i actually hesitated before telling that story because it's such a cherished anecdote in my group of friends

bud guy didn't say "bud" today :(

n.b. i guess i think he's kind of hot

I prefer "bub," has a Lee Tracy-style period appeal (say, 1933)

sounds good to me

pep-pep

bippy

i used to say 'you bet your bippy', sadly

"bro" shd only be used for roleplay

no

what should I say back guys?

"hey breh"

don't think US Today should actually count as reading

some people are throwing serious rod while reading on there too

lol @ the guy posing with Atlas Shrugged

no thx to most of these

not to mention i have an issue with the whole idea of this but i don't want to bum out the thread with my thoughts on an altogether harmless single serving Tumblr

it's winter, what should be my gay travel destination before spring?

(also somebody else start the new thread with a clean-for-work title plz)

I'm going to Puerto Vallarta in January.

also hi gays long time no post. i'm moving in with my bf in a month or two. and i'm not going home for the holidays but i wish i were.

hiya doll, good for u

Donna otm

Could someone summarize that discussion donna alluded to?

Was just about to ask the same thing. To see if there were img embeds involved.

on tumblr there are many many photos of attractive men for every taste and lifestyle, just log in / sign up and start exploring, don't be afraid, you don't even have to post a link back here if you don't want to!

it starts here and goes on for a little while after that

<3 u matt p for "stupid furniture boners":

i didn't even read it. the opening graf made me cringe. plus whogivesashit.jpg. fussy self-involved privileged young gay men with literary aspirations surrounded by stupid furniture boners. i'll take ugly and stupid, thanks.

Ah, memories. Of back when I cared.

i would be curious if people think the film 'kill your darlings' and its portrayal of that particular scene is related to the cute boy art phenomenon, like as legitimizing "history" in favor of it. (n.b. i haven't seen the movie myself.)

xp lol

*cringes*

All I know about that movie is that it made J.Ro's year-end list. I haven't known him to be susceptible to cute boy art syndrome in the past.

he did a 'masterpiece' review of lawrence of arabia just last week.

KYD kinda stinks, haven't seen enough c.b.a. (echhhh) to judge

on tumblr there are many many photos of attractive men for every taste and lifestyle

This isn't true btw.

Like good luck finding well-shot pics of twink-bodied types on tumblr that isn't just a bunch of witedudes

Hah yeah I was gonna sag, there's a word missing there. Also from working at a porn shop it would that most all porn w black ppl in it is niche and is always about "thugs" or "bruthas" and you are required to wear a do-rag and look pissed off

Say, not sag

so...shall we start a new thread?

idgi, usually Eric declares winter sometime around Nov 15

No, I declare detrius sometime around Nov. 15.

As far as gaydom goes, I'm truly a man of no seasons.

does it have to be a witty title?

If you're not witty, you're not gay.

no witty no dicky

better turn in my pink card, then

I have the address where expired cards are to be sent. I'll forward.

looks like we got our winter title

should I make it again?

I'm thinking

"i'm gay winter 2014"

I'd almost settle for porn featuring black dudes where they at least took their athletic socks off.

I like athletic socks!

Seriously, though, one of the more disturbing trends I've noticed in my probably-not-THAT-limited samplings is that gay porn starting black dudes is almost always bareback. Twink porn too (which I don't really watch), but I suspect that this is for different, though no less disturbing, reasons.

I've noticed that most porn of ALL categories that I run into on Tumblr and -tube sites is bareback. I haven't paid much attention to the breakdown within the categories though.

Let's circle this discussion to the flow chart.

i still hate porn

well i still hate not being able to instantly find a hot bear to bring home and fuck so porn will do in the meantime.

I'm watching Weekend and it's making me feel v strange

no hot bears in that one

gay one or godard?

gay one

I think it's because i'm completely not used to seeing these types of people on screen, like people that I see specific parts of myself in or relate to in a lot of ways that I never, ever see outside of the real-life instances in which these moments occur. Basically it's making me feel types of things that films never, ever make me feel, and they're not intrinsically good or bad but they're strange because they're so unusual

That's how I responded too. It was hard setting the affective fallacy aside for this one.

There was a period of my life where if I saw this movie I would flip the fuck out and it would instantly become the most meaningful and most favorite film but now it just makes me feel a kind of strange mild nervousness or discomfort, though I do acknowledge that, biases aside, it's a pretty great film. I can't tell if I actually like it or not because there are parts of me that really do, or really want to, and other parts of me that are kind of terrified of it or make me want to hate it for reasons I can't quite discern.

The final scene is so, so, so fucking great. Love that movie.

The Godard Weekend made me feel pretty funny too.

couldn't particularly relate to gay Weekend
