Come On And Get Naked With Me

 

There are some gay men who have the looks to always get exactly what they want, whenever they want it. It seems nature just blessed them with that natural charm along with their irresistible handsome features that, literally, will charm your clothes right off of your body.

I know this because when I first came out of the closet as a gay man, during my senior year in high school, I met such a man. And I dated him. And he "bedded" me (in other words, we were sexually active together). He was hella-hot in the looks department, had an award-winning smile, was built with a body "to-die" for any had a deep voice that would calm a hurricane. 

He was the man who took my virginity (penetrated my ass with his penis). For that, I am eternally grateful as he was the gentle, patient and very understanding. He opened my eyes and my desires into the many splendid joys of man-on-man sex. I know that I will remember him forever. 

He was also the first man that I ever knew who died of complications due to HIV infection. He knew that he had AIDS and taught me the life-saving importance of sex always with a condom. He made me promise him that I would always make sure that I had a condom available whenever I was intimate with another man. To this day, I have kept my promise to him. 

This man also introduced me into the wonderful and dynamic world of gay social nudity. He took me to nudist gatherings where I was amazed at the sheer number and beauty of all the men, out, proud and naked! We frequently visited a nearby nude beach together and he showed me the "gay section" of the beach and introduced me to all of his friends. For initiating me into the life of gay, male nudism, I am eternally appreciative. 

Today is his farewell-to-earth day. He died at noon on this exact day, 2005. I miss him still. I hope he knows that I'll never forget him. 

Be yourself: gay, nude and proud!

A Powerful Message

This past week, the vice-president-elect and very homophobic former governor of Ohio attended an evening Broadway performance to the current hit show, Hamilton: The Musical. The cast of the show is very diverse and consists of a large number of racial, ethnic and sexual minorities. All of whom have been widely disparaged by the incoming administration. 

At the conclusion of that particular evening's performance, the entire cast gathered onstage following the curtain-call. This was the message delivered by the staff to the vice-president-elect:

I know that I am not alone in being extremely disappointed and disillusioned over the results of the recent election. This vote, I believe, does not bode well for this country and especially for the Black people who live here. 

However, I am impressed with the strong and conciliatory message the cast of Hamilton: The Musical delivered to the vice-president-elect. I sincerely hope that plea for equality and fairness is received and acted upon by the incoming administration. 

If it is ignored, then there is very little hope for any of us in this once-great nation.

Vigilance Needed!

The American election results this past week were an insult to democracy and a disgrace for all of humanity. I believe that we will all need to brace ourselves for four years of irresponsible and ineffective leadership. This is a shame as I honestly thought that we, as both a country and as a society were finally on the path to making this nation into what it was intended to be. A bastion of equality and freedom. 

With an executive and legislative branches in the complete but incompetent hands of reactionary incompetents, true diligence is now resting solely upon our shoulders. We all need to be attentive and to carefully watch our own and our brother's backs. We cannot afford to allow racists, sexists and homophobes to succeed in holding us in any semblance of subservience. 

Prepare for the intense fighting ahead. Unfortunately, we all must survive this struggle in order to emerge victorious in the end. 

Be yourself: gay, nude and proud!

Digital Images: Strong Black Men

There aren't too often that you see images of strong Black men on the internet. That's one of the reasons I decided that today's post would feature a few pictures that depict the greatness and strength of our race and gender. These photos were randomly gleaned from the internet and I don't own the rights to them.

The one pictured above is of a warrior on his throne. Powerful, majestic and obviously in command and control. This is the way it should be: inferior to none.

The one featured below is another powerful Black man, confident in both his nakedness and his race. This particular one shows a manly erection. This image shows the virility of a Black man without being involved in any sexual activity. 

The pride exhibited by both of these reflections of Black masculinity should inspire us all!

Be yourself: gay, nude and proud!
