Most Gay Men Truly Are Superficial...

......if I make a sweeping generalisation based on the stats of the posts on my blog.

The interaction on my "hot man posts" are up to 5 times that of my ballet, music, 'other', posts.......

So are we truly that facile?  That obvious? Shallower than a puddle in a heat wave?

Are most of us really that accurate to the stereotype?  Pec chasing, butt chasing, man chasing man ho's?

Don't get me wrong now......... I do like a good pair of pecs and a pretty face........ but I also like other things in life, indeed at a higher percentage, than man flesh.


**I patiently await the chorus of gay gasps in response to that last thought**

When I read other blogs that are not explicitly for man flesh, I am pleasantly surprised by the breadth of posts out there.  Politics.  Gay News.  Personal goals.  Personal insights.  Comics and geek-ology.  Dining.  Arts etc.  It really is, for me a refreshing change to penises and cumshots................. really................

So what would happen on those "non-manflesh blogs" if the Furry Fridays, Temptation Tuesdays, Groovy Guy, Bootylicious etc posts ceased and there were only all the "other" posts?  Would readers desert the blog?  Would the experiment confirm or blast apart the stereotype?

From now, until the end of June I will not be posting any gratuitous posts of manflesh.  Clothed male ballet dancers are about as close as it is going to get.

Uncle George is clearly interested in this.  Let's see how many of my readers stick around.

Shalom all.

Hope you are all good.

Hello..... And Blog Pause....

Hey all.

Little help from "Ma" to get me/us through being without proper net access at home.

Regular blogging will resume soon :)

800,000 Blessings....

My little dog and pony show is never going to win awards or have advertisers scrambling for access to blog space.... But when I started this blog on the 1st of March, 2009, it was at the urging of my Bubb to give me an outlet for my creativity, my interests, and my appreciation of the much adored male form.

During that time I have had 800000 visits to my blog and I just wish to say thank you.

I love my blog and I appreciate each and every one of you that visit :)

Blessings on you all....

Here is 800,000 more!

................I will not apologise if I anger you..............................

.................with VERY few exceptions............................


A recent post on women had what I can only describe as my first real bout of hate mail since beginning this blog over a year ago.

***This is a sedate example***

Your post on women was disgusting. You should hang your head in shame. Axel D

To say I was stunned was an understatement.

Yes - I can come off as an asshole - Yes I can come across as an angry person - and - Yes I can come across as sad.

Because it is all true.

I am also intelligent................. cultured.................. loyal...................... passionate ................. complex............. accepting................. and most important of all............... honest.

I embrace diversity. My blog roll is testament to that.

If you have been a long term follower of my blog, you would see that I am *rarely* divisive............ even when it comes to such issues as the Middle East and Israel.

Indeed - I mostly play devils advocate - presenting both sides, or - as is most often required - multiple points of view.

My recent post on women was DELIVERED with anger. And I believe it to be entirely appropriate. Why? Because of everything that I have said up to this point in this post.

Indeed - I do not mind admitting I felt a little let down by my regular followers.

You should have all been able to do what I do when I read similar blog posts written elsewhere on the Interweb - looked at it from the point of view of the WRITER.

This didn't happen. And I feel let down.

Does this mean that suddenly I will stop patronising those blogs of ppl I felt let down by? Of course not - these things happen - and if it was all sweetness and light I would be quite disappointed because that is not why I peruse those blogs.

I go there because they ARE interesting and cover a range of topics and I **love** that at times I find some of them quite confronting and I find myself taken aback.

That will happen here and if you do not agree with me I completely support that. In fact - I like it when ppl disagree with me because it get's me challenging my own preconceptions.

This is my blog - and I assume you all come here because I be myself and put myself forward.

Sometimes I might piss you off - but if I do - please ask yourself WHY you are pissed off before sending me hate mail.

That way - you may send me "You challenged and angered me and here is why?" mail.

My continued best wishes for you all.

Thank you for your time.

Shalom
