Daily Hottie 7 PS 2

Andre or Ricki at his most classically perfect.


His sumptuous feast!

Political Incorrectness

I was traveling in Spain 2003, and the Afgan war overtook me in the sense that the protest movement in the Iberian Peninsular spilled out more than is usual into the public arena - there were the tens of thousands of placards, marches, ... in the streets - a bit like the 'demos' around the world in the 1960's and 1970's, that were one outcome of the counter culture.

The public protest of 2003 took many forms, one being street performance pieces, like this one in Seville:



My usual knee-jerk politically-correct reaction took an unexpected direction when I saw this photo in a local newspaper:


It purported to show an act of compassion but there was something more. And then my own private reaction.

I realized I was reading in a parallel sexual dimension - entirely imposed by myself as a gay guy. It seemed in part to be to do with the water overflowing from the captive's mouth and dribbling down and off his square jaw. I wanted to explore this, rather than self-censor in the approved manner. There were the obvious similarities between the newspaper pic and my second pic - faceless soldiers, armilites, armed ready and trained, army boots and so on.

But I also saw the parallels with a certain sexual practice that often doesn't dare speak it's name. Pissing can share some of the same dimensions: power and domination, the giving of fluid, and eagar receptivity. In the piss pic below, dominance is reinforced by the receiver being pinned down by the boot.


I guess there can be a vigorous debate about whether we should censor (unexpressed) fantasizes or be able to do what we like in the privacy of our own head-rooms.
Superman

Superman came from Jerry Siegel (writer) and Joe Shuster (artist). They were high school classmates who published the fanzine 'Science Fiction'. In the January 1933 issue, 'The Reign of Superman appeared, with superman becoming a villan after gaining his super power - shades of Dr Frankenstein's delusions.


Later in 1933, Siegel saw the alternative potential of Superman as hero. However, the draft story 'The Superman' was rejected by the publisher they approached.


In 1934, the team re-worked our super hero in a comic format.


What's interesting to see is how the image of Superman evolved, becoming at whatever time each of us encountered him, one of our earliest homoerotic fantasies. Well, for me at least!







































While I was intrigued by the man of steel's ability to fly, etc, it was his sexual charge that was prime. In the fifth cartoon(though awkwardly drawn), it's something about the twist of the body and his open muscular legs and available crotch. And in the tenth, the bulging muscularity of his shoulders and the harmonious sculptural forms and poses, shapes that rival/mimic Michaelangelo's nudes.


The last cartoon is from 2004 - beyond my experience of the comic - but it's kewl to see how our man of steel is still evolving.

I used to have dreams of flying. Didn't we all! For some of us, more chemically fuelled of late. In the earlier version, I would be running along, arms out, wondering if I could get up (!) and then there were those rare nights I soared into the air, usually to splutter down, Icarus-like.

























The significance of all this I later understood from Jung. So it's easy to see Superman's appeal - he seems to be tapping into very basic human desires and motivations.

Now, Brandon Routh! Wow - what a hot new version - looks as though he's been drawn by a cartoonist and then made flesh and blood. The third (crotch) shot comes from TV series - anyone know which one?

Brian - Reed Massengill

I've been reading/looking at a book 'Brian: A Nine-Year Photographic Diary' by Reed Massengill (FotoFactory Press, California), an American photographer who recorded a young guy's evolution from a curly-haired kind of post-hippie thru skin-heading to tatoo-ing and self-mutilation (scarification) and then some way back. I'm posting a few pics from the book to give its flavour. But I realize it's not representative cos I've only selected the ones that stop page turning!

Discovery of Mental Derangement
in Scanners!


My scanner had a (fortuitous) mental breakdown today - and I now have its before and after psychic states!

The original pic (the first one!!!) is by Bill Henson.


How To Look After Your Husband

And now for something completely different! Times have changed ... most places. Genuine article from 'Home Economics', 1950.

C19 Gay

Just looked thru an interesting blog (http://realityandpresence.blogspot.com) by 'Danial, the Guy in the Desert'. It has a number of early photographs of lovers, if you read them properly, and some chat bout whether other family members realized their relative and his 'friend' were gay.

PS - Andre Oliviera

Another couple where Ricky/Andre seems more Arabic - his eyes are slightly slanted - so incredibly beautiful


Daily Hottie 7 - Andre Oliviera

Sorry to cheat on the blonds of this world, but this guy has been an all time fav - variously known as Ricky Ricardo and Andre Oliviera. Nothing to say - he's perfect. If anyone knows of any video's of him I'd be stoked!



Daily Hotties 6

This pic gives you the sense of being right there - that the guy is taking a last puff before you fuck. You imagine he is about to slip his legs over your shoulders and round your neck. You can feel the heat of his furry calves and thighs. And he works his arse down your cock. And again, you can practically taste him.


And for something more classically hot:

Mongolia



This blog is about to veer off course - an identity crisis!

I made a trip thru Mongolia recently and was looking at the pics - and was amazed at the incredibly minimal landscape - just the blue of the sky and yellow of the steppes.

The second pic is the local hang-out cafe - the first scrip is Mongolian (Khalkha Mongol), and the others (obviously) Chinese and English.

Daily Hottie 5

Couple of guys who who fit the cute and hot criterion.

The first is called 'Luke' and I can almost smell his legs and his crack and feet.


This guy is called 'Timothy Culkin' cos he looks a bit like Macaughly Culkin, I guess. Love his balls up against the base of his cock and his thick furry bush. And his hot bubble butt.




This guy doesn't really count for real blond but is so fuckable. Like the last three - cum set!
