“The painter sat beside his model mixing colors while he talked about the whores that had stirred him.  His shirt was open, showing a strong, smooth neck and a tuft of dark hair; his belt was loosened for comfort, a button was missing from his pants, and his sleeves were turned up for freedom.

In the comments, etre asked about the Clayton Cubitt video: “This may seem inordinately curious, but I’ll ask anyway: both your outfit and veil-headgear are unusual, the latter perhaps more so – is there a story there?”
She’s referring to the long portrait I posted on my tumblr a few days ago, but I’ll repost it [...]

The last time I was in Paris, I walked into a bookshop and found Catherine Breillat’s Pornocratie on a display table.  Breillat’s known for her controversial films which often use sexuality to explore other dimensions of the human condition, among them Romance (1999), Sex is Comedy (2002), and Anatomy of Hell (2004).  Anatomy of Hell [...]

Oh Amazon, you spectacular fuck up.
For those who haven’t heard yet, Amazon just removed a large number of books from its sales rankings and its search listings.  Best sellers are being removed from best-seller lists. It isn’t entirely clear why these books are being removed, but it looks as though they’re selectively targeting gay and [...]

Someone just suggested that I password-protect the last post, so I did.  It’s ironic: it’s about risk and prostitution, and they suggested that I just exposed myself to more risk in doing so… so, you know… fuck.
If you’re looking for advice on the risks of prostitution, let me know and I’ll send you the password. [...]

I’ve had domination on the mind lately.  It started when I thought through sleeping with men other than Gabriel, sex without strings. Since it could be a mindfuck for the average stranger, I thought it would be best to find someone who likes to be treated like a fucktoy, as a sexual preference.  That way [...]

As a godless fornicator, I spent my Xmas with my ankles overhead. I hope you all had a merry holiday as well.
I’m glad to see the AA ads getting press.  I saw that the excellent Refinery29 wrote it up a few days ago, and now I’m seeing blips and notes from NBC, AVN, a few [...]

Like Jimmyjane?  Of course you like Jimmyjane.  You love Jimmyjane, because they make beautiful vibrators with excellent inscriptions like this:
I just got word that they’re having a sale. It’s 25% off orders of $100 or more (so, most orders).  You just need to include the code “Enjoy” and do it before January 5th 2009.
Buy one [...]

I’m alive. I’ve been derelict. And flu-ish. And busy, but in the best of ways.
Prague was phenomenal.  It’s hard to give much of a summary of the experience, since my memory is a strange superimposition of daytime treks through museums and evening drinks with strangers and nighttime dirty talk with Gabriel. It’s an overlay of [...]

I’m usually pretty disciplined about managing my jet lag, but a short nap turned into a long, nightmarish sprawl and I woke up to the imagined sound of a shrieking cat.  I’ve been in a semi-sleep state ever since, and my memory’s a motion blur of architecture and art nouveau typography.
Prague’s a great city.  My [...]
