New Year Old Thoughts Ongoing




As the winter started to set into motion this year (end of 2007) I discovered this wonderful video called "After Dinner with Michael and Darren" (actually there's a "third" guy as you"ll see). Its definately one of my favorite videos of the quarter and perhaps a small niche genre- within the gay bear cub international scenes. This video is not for the light hearted who cant deal with "arty videos" its kinky non-sex (but they still REQUIRE you to confirm you're an adult!)

This video perhaps brings a long variety oif elements together. Its is most certainly a video worth noting for all of us. the men are young, perhaps in their early 20s and yet they have and celebrate "facial-hair" something more notable from gays of the 80s or of a generation some 20years their senior. They express a certain "intimacy" rarely if ever seen in mainstream p o r n o. It is evident that these guys have a closeness and are sincerely friends- NOT "actors" per se. The sex (if we can call it that) is somewhat abstract- it is more about sensuality, touch, smell, comfort (well, in fact the things that we do indeed associate with sex) but it is decidably non-penetrative sex. Some would argue that gay men have always practiced non-penetrative sex and that this is nothing new-for this I would agree- but I would also argue that in an age of hiv/AIDS non-penetrative practice has served as a manner for gay men to express physically whilst sustaining a peace of mind with regards to infection. Other aspects of male sensuality exchange have been heightened and in some regards fetishsized (just think of the new "sporn" industry as well as the amateur outlets for home made varieties)- even my favorite site nichtcharm.com (which a poor artist like me cant afford) expresses something I have ALWAYS merged :dick and brains. Do check out Michael Darren and their friend and let me know what you think. It definately inpires me to create my own arty abstract p o r n.

Its now 2008 and I cant quite get use to it yet. Its only been something like 2 and a half weeks and I had not been finished with 2007 yet. So much remains unresolved and I am not yet sure how to 'deal" with all the uncertainties that have emerged from "last year". In short I am not ready to be middle aged (well i am not sure what age that REALLY is suppose to be-but it is looming). I am distraught at all the coruption around me and the deep deception and greed that has crippled so many unsuspecting people all around the globe. It leaves me a bit dumb founded since it is all out of my hands and one can merely witness it and try not to be snared-which is nearly not possible (you can perhaps understand my interests in off-the-grid living from the previous post). Perhaps my off-the-grid interests in gay-polyamory are in parity.

to be continued.
