Fetish Poll Results - We Like Variety

So.............. 40 of you lovely people voted on my recent Fetish Poll and gave a pretty good picture of what you all like to get up to.  Needless to say it was an interesting set of results.

So here they are.....

Military fetishes topped the list.  I am guessing both getting with actual Military servicemen and the uniforms.  Uniforms were next - police fire etc.  Leather and Sports gear were pretty high.  So it's clear that our first impression is correct.  We eat with our eyes, so it makes sense we would fuck with them too.  How a hook up "looks" is very important.  Then, quite naturally, it is the accessories - toys, sounds, ropes.  Watching and fucking in public were close together - makes sense given how one naturally feeds the other.  Which also leads into cruising - be it a public park, restroom, truck stop etc.  And whilst we are in the bathroom - why not unload that uncomfortably full bladder on some little piss pig who is only too happy to drink down your bathwater. 

Daddy play was big.  I am guessing again, both looks and role play here.  Lord knows I hardly qualify as the "stereotypical porno Daddy look" but have in my time had my fair share of young men unexpectedly telling me to "pound me daddy", and like the good host I am, I agreed.

Puppy Play and Plushy/Furry garnered only a couple of votes each which surprises me.  I know many people into puppy play.  Clearly, they just don't read my blog (Note to self, begin new advertising campaign).

Now two choices I thought would get more votes were PNP and Starfucker.  Knowing how many of you come from cities that have a LOT of both of these - LA, SF, NYC, LDN - I thought there would be more.  *shrug*.

Okay - well thank you all SO much for being involved in my poll.

As always, its great to have your feedback and involvement in the blog.

As for those who chose OTHER - let me know what your other is.  Very keen to know.

Shalom all

Poll - Fetish Friday

 

 

Given the gay community's openness with their sexual habits, should a question be not "what is your fetish?" but if we still call them fetishes?

I have to admit, I have a hard time thinking of ONE of my friends that are strictly vanilla - i.e. kiss suck fuck cum.

I was a good vanilla boy till age 19.  I was at the local bathhouse at the time and there was this monster of a man, hugely muscled, looked Greek, wearing a harness and a towel.  I had to have him.
So I followed him around for a while, trying to make my interest known in a subtle way.  Well, he wasn't interested in that.  He came over.  Grabbed my hair (I had perfectly coiffed blonde hair back then).  And dragged me into a room.  I was HORRIFIED!

He locked the door, let go of my hair and looked me in the face.  "Here's the deal.  You want to play with me you do every fucking thing I tell you and if I hear no from you I throw your pretty arse out of here.  Deal?"

OH.  MY.  GOD.  I don't know what he laced those words with, but something clicked and my dick was harder than concrete that had finished curing.  I nodded dumbly.  He slapped my nipple.  OW!
"Say it fucker!" .  I mumble out a yes.  Nipple slap.  OW!.  "YES SIR!"  I was a regular at this place.  People knew my voice.  I had just outed myself as a sexual top who was *apparently* now a role play bottom.  But oh my was it fun.  We were in the room for HOURS.  From there it was exploration of almost every fetish out there.  Very few I haven't tried. 

Given the seeming commonality of fetish play in the gay community, is it then a taboo?  Are we really fetish playing, or do we leave the classification of "Fetish" for those few things that only a clear minority enjoy.  No I am not saying them.  I think we all know what they are.

So................how about you?

What do you get into?

On the right hand side is a poll.  Please click the TOP box so I get an idea of how many people do the poll, then go through and choose the stuff you like.  If I miss anything, feel free to add them in the comments section :)  I am not going to ask if a top or bottom.  Just the fetish.  Otherwise it'd be a poll longer than Brittanica.

So......I look forward to reading what you like.

If enough people ask me, I'll post mine.

...2 Profile........ The Naked Barber - Fetish Groomer......

Shalom n G'day 2 Centers!

Today on the blog we have a very interesting profile. As you all know, on my trip to Sydney last October, I visited and enjoyed the services of the very handsome and very humble Richard aka The Naked Barber. A few of you were very curious as to the whole experience and how he got into it.

...So......... here for your enjoyment and education, please make feel very welcome Richard, The Naked Barber.

(2CW) Shalom Richard and welcome to 2 Cents. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this.

(TNB) That's okay, thank you for asking me.

(2CW) Firstly, before we get into the Naked Barber stuff, did you have a background in grooming / hairstyling before? Can you tell us about what you did pre-Naked?

(TNB) I was 15 when I left school to do my 4 year hairdressing apprenticeship. After I that I moved to Brisbane where I worked as a senior stylist for about a year, when I quit my job because of sexual harassment from my boss. The funny thing was, that I went from quitting a
job because of sexual harassment to working in a gay massage parlour. Where happy endings was part of the job prescription. As a young guy, I was making a lot of money and spending it all on god know what!!! After 6 months of rubbing and tugging I finally went back to hairdressing with nothing to show for it! Moving back to the Gold Coast when I was 21 and working in a salon that had a rent a chair system. Where I ended up pulling in a lot of client's as I was specialising in hair extensions at this time of my career and for the first time in my life "I Saved Money" and open up my own salon by the age of 23. I was way to young and really
wasn't over the party life yet! So after 2 and 1/2 years of working, partying and more partying. I finally just broke down and lost my salon because of it... I ended up moving to a large country town called Wagga Wagga. This is where I started getting into men's grooming. As I was working in a barber shop in the middle of the town and the owner also had small salon at the RAAF Base, where I worked 2 days a week... There waxing was a huge thing with a lot of the men at the RAAF Base.

The following year I moved to Sydney, where I got a job working in an up market salon. I was back doing women's hair and I found myself wanting to spread my wings and move to London to see if I could make something of myself over there (as I was only getting older)and you can't get a working permit after the age of 30. Arrived in London at the age of 29 and worked in a funky salon in Camden Town. As much as I loved London I really could not stand the weather and didn't want to stay another Winter! So after 18 month, It was time to come home for an Australian Summer! when I arrived home I got a job managing a barber shop in North Sydney. After doing 16 months there, I ended up leaving to do what I do now!

(2CW) Did you enjoy the 9-5 hairdressing?

(TNB) No, not at all... That was one big plus about starting my own business.

(2CW) Have you always been a nudist?

(TNB) As a kid, I never seemed to care much about nudity. Even as a teenager I had a group of friends that would get drunk naked! I don't mean get drunk then get naked, but the other way. we would strip off and then drink... I think, we thought we would get drunk a lot quicker if we were naked or something like that! LOL



(2CW) How did you come up with the idea of combining nudity and grooming?
Also, whilst on the subject, can you define FETISH GROOMING for us all please?

(TNB) The idea come after a few wines at dinner party with my room mate I had at that time. It was such a great Idea, I just could not let it go!

Fetish Grooming is a service that is provided for people that have a grooming fetish - An act where one persons sexual fantasy is played out, in a submissive role, whilst being "groomed" by a dominant man or Master. Many men are turned on by their barber experience. From the shaving cream to the hot towel, being caped up and having the barbers crotch rub by you as you are sitting in the chair having a haircut or even just liking the smell of the baby powder at the end...

All of this and more comes into play with The Naked Barber experience!

(2CW) Describe the set up of your studio.

(TNB) It's a fully equipped barber shop in an underground sand stone
studio, that I like to call The Naked Barber's Dungeon.



(2CW) Describe what happens in a basic visit. What happens from when the client walks in the door? Are you naked? Do they get naked? What happens?

(TNB) Not all of my clients want me naked, some want me in leather or sports gear and others may just want some good old fashion grooming done, with none of that kinky stuff added... But most ask me to be naked and they tend to get naked with me. I guess some of them have too, if they come in for body grooming services that is...

(2CW) Now it should be pointed out that your service is a GROOMING service - albeit a unique kind - but NOT a sexual service correct?

(TNB) It depends how you look at it! I don't have sex with my client, but It can still be a sexual experience of some kind "I guess". I do a lot of pubic grooming (Waxing and Shaving). With this service you find most guys are highly aroused and would get hard or even cum during the process.

(2CW) I have to be honest and say that from how welcomed and lovely you made me feel - you actually also made me feel.... well ........ sexy isn't the word ..... 'good' is closer but the right one eludes me. You really do have a wonderful sense of "I'll take care of you" that you transmit through your touch. It was a really wonderful and unique experience for me. PS I have to say that initially at least, it was a really sensual experience too. Without being grotty or explicitly gross.

(TNB) Hearing stuff like that is why I keep on doing it... Thank you!


(2CW) You host a weekly event at my FAVOURITE Sydney Pub "The Oxford Hotel" called 'Buzz'. What is that and how did it come about?

(TNB) When I first started The Naked Barber business, I was approached by a few night club promoters and started doing buzz cuts at clubs and dance parties. It was a lot of fun turning up in full leather chaps and harness to do buzz cuts for drunken or drugged out bunch of kids. All I kept on thinking was, wait till you wake up tomorrow and see what you have done. After working in the scene for about 6 months, I was seeing a gap in the gay scene for butch (masculine) gay men, who didn't want to go out to gay pub's that are playing Lady GaGa and Madonna songs or worse yet, seeing a drag queen trying to lip sinking to it! So I asked a DJ friend of mine, what he would think if I got him to play rock music as I do buzz cuts on stage in a gay pub. He loved the idea even more then I did and we took it to the Oxford Hotel and ended up grabbing a weekly gig there... After a year we are still going strong. Every Thursday night from 8pm.

(2CW) You have a partner I believe, how does he/she feel / deal with your line of work?

(TNB) He already knew who I was and what I did when I met him. He seems to be OK with it as a job. I think he finds the rest of it a bit hard to take. Like the self marketing part of the job!

(2CW) Now you knew that I just could not go past without asking about THE SLING. Why does a fetish groomer have a SLING that he uses in his grooming service please? Should I add "Sir" onto the end of that LOL....?

(TNB) Hehehe If it helps you to play out a scene in your head, then you can call me "Sir". As for the SLING, that is where I do all my scrotum and arse grooming. I find its an easy way to get in and deal with all those hair problems LOL..

.....2 Naked..............The Naked Barber..........

............so...............for a FULL report of my first day out and about in Sydney go to the next post..... but I simply had to write and tell you about my first experience of the day...... The Naked Barber...

First.............. I was referred to NB by a friend of mine who went.......... last time I was in Sydney in March I was going to go but got cold feet on account of feeling too fat.... well, after a quick txt session with him, he totally set my mind at ease and off I went......... Naked Barber Bound........

This is Richard in the picture standing over his subject

......Firstly, he met me at the door fully clothed as I expected and the first thing I noticed was how warm and friendly his greeting was. Immediately, I was put at ease and made to feel welcome. He ushered me into his work space and asked if I would like to go nude. Now, I'm pretty certain I've mentioned that previously when I lived in Melbourne I enjoyed the nudist lifestyle and attended a monthly nude swim night with a local pansexual nude group. So it was lovely to disrobe and be naked in a non-sexual, fraternal way with another man again.

NB - Richard his name is - chatted with me as he did my buzzcut in preparation for a full head shave. Now - first things first - Richard is a very handsome man with a very nice body. Athletic but naturally so. Light body hair. Beautiful penis (with a PA which I found really nice to look at to be honest) and eyes that draw you into him. A rare quality and one I particularly found nice because I am all about a mans' eyes. Even when he IS standing starkers as he runs a pair of clippers over my head.

After he buzzed me - the prepared my head with a warm towel. He gently applied pressure all over my head to make sure all of the skin about to be shaved had been prepared. One thing Richard has is a very firm but not uncomfortable strength in his hands. It's a strength that says "Relax, I know what I'm doing and I'm going to do it well for you." A very reassuring thing and again, continued to put me at ease.

He then razor shaved my head with deft skill and perfect technique. He really is a professional barber and it shows. He checked and rechecked his work to make sure it was all perfect, and it was.

THEN came the fun part - my sack shave. Now I have never had my sack shaved before. The fun part was that Richard does his shaves and brazilians and crack shave/waxes with his clients lying down in a sling. Now, whilst this sounds horny - personally, I love a good sling - it's also incredibly practical for him. It gives him access to all the nooks and crannies he needs to work on. So he lathered me up and set to work and before you know I have a sack smooth and fresh and open to the breeze. *sigh*

If I have to sum up the experience in word .... I can't..... it needs to...... Pampering....... and..... Welcoming........ from the moment I walked in Richard made the experience a positive one and totally comfortable for me irregardless of my weight. He was completely professional - even though he did brush my arms with his dick more than once - but that's part of the whole "Fetish Grooming" experience. Even then, it was horny but also simply - happenstance. It was just a nice thing that happened every now and then with no sexual overtone just a guy having to stand close to do his job and his penis leaning up against my arm.

I loved it.

And I'll go back. Because with the exception of my Bubb - no one has made me feel that comfortable and accepted about my weight. Yes I paid well for a niche service. Yes it certainly wasn't the usual trip to the barbers. But that was the point. For approximately an hour. I was pampered. Attended to. Slightly aroused. Totally welcomed.

I left in a state of pure bliss. All from a haircut and a ball shave, given by one of nicest people I have met in Sydney in a long, long time.

Wonderful.

Thank you for such a lovely experience Richard aka The Naked Barber.

PS You'll find Richard's site HERE..........

Shalom

..........Just Coz........ The Handkerchief Code..........

Handkerchief code

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bandanas in a rear pocket. The one seen here on a statue of Paul Bunyan, have mainstream usage and are not exclusive to LGBT, leather and kink communities.

Handkerchief code or hanky code (also known as bandana code and flagging) is a way of indicating, usually among gay male casual sex-seekers or BDSM practitioners in the leather subculture in the United States, Canada and Europe, whether they are a top or bottom, and what kind of sex they are seeking, by wearing cotton color-coded handkerchiefs (bandanas), usually in the back pocket. Hanky code was widely used in the 1970s as a gay code, however it is increasingly mainstream.^[1]

Today the bandanas are worn almost exclusively in the rear trouser pocket, on the left side of the body for tops and on the right for bottoms, just as tops wear their keys on the left belt loop and bottoms on the right. In the past bandanas were also worn tied around the neck (with the knot positioned on either the left or right side); around the ankle (when wearing boots or when undressed); hung from the left or right side of the belt, or on other parts of the body.

There is no universally understood color code, and regional codes vary. There is general agreement upon the colors with an intuitive relation between the color and the practice, such as yellow for watersports; brown for scat; and black for SM, but no absolute consensus for all colors or acts.

Origin

The wearing of various colored bandanas around the neck was common in the mid- and late-nineteenth century among cowboys, steam railroad engineers, and miners in the Western United States. It is thought that the wearing of bandanas by gay men originated in San Francisco after the Gold Rush, when, because of a shortage of women, men dancing with each other in square dances developed a code wherein the man wearing the blue bandana took the male part in the square dance, and the man wearing the red bandana took the female part (these bandanas were usually worn around the arm or hanging from the belt or in the back pocket of one's jeans). ^[2] It is believed by some that the modern Hanky Code started in New York City in about 1970 when a journalist for the Village Voice joked that instead of simply wearing keys to indicate whether someone was a "top" or a "bottom", it would be more efficient to subtly announce their particular sexual focus by wearing different colored hankies.

The handkerchief code in popular culture

• A character on Rescue Me was approached by several gay men after appearing in an FDNY calendar where he unwittingly wore a yellow bandana in his pocket while dressed as a cowboy.

• Aaron North, a past guitarist for Nine Inch Nails, is well known for wearing a red bandana in his pocket during concerts. However, given North's on-stage antics, it's probably more of a reference to NIN's Wish, in which fist fuck are part of the lyrics.

• Peaches, the female, German-Canadian, electroclash musician, has a song entitled "Hanky Code" in which she spells out the hanky code tradition and various colors and their meanings.

• Al Pacino's character in the 1980 movie Cruising (film) is criticized for wearing the wrong color handkerchief while trying to blend-in in a gay bar.
