Gay of A Certain Age - Spanked To the Bank

Hello, Gentle Reader!  The photo above is me, in a dress, enjoying the company and touch of Boomer Banks.  I'm happy and excited in the pic because I enjoy Boomer's work.  He's what the kids these days call, a "Gay Porn Star".  Do the math; that means I watch the gay porn.  And, since I'm rarely naked with anyone else, I've been prone to "wax nostalgic" while watching said entertainments. It's not a secret, I posted about it in a post called Plowers In the Attic 2; If There Be Porns.  Why is this any of your business?  Well, really, it's not, but I have recently received an email threatening to release actual video of me "waxing nostalgic" whilst watching one of these art films!  Apparently, they have somehow obtained one of my passwords, which they used in the subject line of the threatening email to get my attention, then used the password to hack my laptop and turn on my camera!  They have taken that footage and made a video for blackmail, which they will distribute to everyone in my contact list, unless I pay them $2,000 in bitcoins!  Whatever shall I do???

Not a gosh-darned thing!  Listen people, as a Gay of A Certain Age, I've decided that I have no shame about "waxing nostalgic" and if a video of it gets out, and people don't turn it off as soon as they see what it is, then, ENJOY!!!  You wanna watch me enjoy movies like SPECIFIC RIM or THE JUST ASS LEAGUE or THE HOUSE WITH A COCK IN ITS WALLS or HEAD PULL 2?  Have at!  I refuse to be ashamed of something as natural as self pleasure or to give in to someone trying to intimidate me with shame!  Also, it's very unlikely that the video exists, since I don't watch these movies on my lap top, I find that key strokes don't go with other strokes.  I prefer to use my very portable iPad, which I can just snap shut and fall asleep next to.  I also have the little lens covered with a Hello Kitty sticker, to ensure my privacy.  I'm fairly confident nothing will come of this.  Also, I found this article to be a morale booster! 

So, I will continue to enjoy the specialty films featuring some of my favorite specialty actors to my hard's content.  As a matter of fact, I'll even share some of my very own photos of the guys I call THE WATCH MEN!

(Chris Rockway will probably be my all time favorite for all time)

Marcus Mojo

Samuel O'Tooole

Michael Brandon

Arad Winwin

Adam Champ & Carlo Masi

(This pic is about Adam Killian, who is pelvis thrusting behind Danny Bonaduce- 

yes, THAT Danny Bonaduce)
(The third, licking party is, yet, unidentified)

Well enough of this... I need to go wax nostalgic about the time I was tea bagged by Chris Rockway!

So, if you get an email from me with a video attached and you choose to watch, please let me know if they gave me any groovy music in the background, if they put up a list of credits and if my name is on top or bottom of the title. Thanks!

Gay of A Certain Age - From Colt To Stallion

I finally did it!!  I broke free from Colt Men calendars!!

Why would I do that you ask?

As you may recall, I posted a little while back HERE, about being shocked and depressed when I flip a calendar page and the new monthly model is a sweet, handsome, DEAD porn star.  It's happened more than a few times and these are calendars that are printed years after the poor guys have passed, so I find it unforgivable... mainly because I know they do it, just so they don't have to pay a living model a living wage.  Don't get me wrong, I love the men of Colt...

Why, here I am telling Carlo Masi and Adam Champ just how much I enjoy their work

I've just decided that 2017 was going to be the last year that I let Colt bring me down first thing in the month!

This year I went with Raging Stallion!

(not my photo)

Once the calendar was delivered, I immediately had a few issues with it.

(Let's establish that I don't preview my calendars because I like to be surprised each month, so I really don't know what I'm getting until I unwrap the plastic wrap and see that January looks like.)

I know it's hard to get used to something new, but I had hoped for a smoother transition.  

First, it is about 5 inches longer than a typical calendar.  Granted, this thing hangs in my closet, behind clothes sometimes, but still it's a bit unwieldy. (What, Queen, you're complaining about 5 extra inches? Whaaaaat?)  Next, if you look to the pic up top, you'll see that the dates are all smooshed down at the bottom, vertically in a long horizontal strip.  I know, I know,  but sometimes I actually do look at the days and I really prefer them in their usual grid.  If I wanted to just hang posters of neked hotties each month, I wouldn't waste space on days and numbers! I mean, is this a calendar or not? 

Next, while the January man is quite a visual treat, I'm disappointed that his name is Brogan Reed.  Really?  Brogan Reed?? They aren't even trying with names anymore!  This sounds like a name high schoolers come up with when making a porn parody.  

"What's my character's name?"|

"Who's your favorite porn star?"
"I don't know, but my dad's is Logan Reed..."

"That's it! Your characters name is Brogan Reed!"

"That's kinda cheap."

"Yeah, but were in high school, who's gonna care?"

For those of you who are Gays of a Less Than Certain Age, Logan Reed was a popular porn star about 20 years ago...

(Not my photo, totally swiped from Here)

If you're going to use an obviously made up name, why not really go for it?  How about Manuel Hung, Dixon Ashe, Clutch Morgan or Hugh J'Bohner?

Maybe I'm being a little picky, but come on!  Is it too much to want to wake up on the first of the month and see a hot, living guy with a creative/original name greeting me with a smile and boner saying, "Pay your rent, fucker"?

As a Gay of A Certain Age, I'm finding that hot & sexy are coming in second to order, creativity and respect for the dead!

Gay of A Certain Age - One For the Books

I'm saddened today.  I just read that Circus of Books in West Hollywood is closing.  I don't even live in New York, but the erosion of 8th Avenue in Chelsea upsets me, now I feel it happening where I live.  It's been a little while since I shopped at the store, but I have popped in a few times to see if there was a book I couldn't wait for Amazon to deliver, or a naughty man calendar for the year, or an issue of Fangoria edited by Bryan Fuller

 or a spare Starrfucker magazine I wanted to gift someone...

Even if I didn't go in every week, I felt its presence and constant reminder of a time when I first came to California, a new Gay, and feeling as if I had found the Mother Ship.  My first time in there, I was amazed by the multitudes of magazines- there used to be so many! I bought my first (and later, probably my last) issue of Attitude there!  There was Genre, Out, The Advocate, TeTu, Edge, Bent, In Touch, Frontiers... so many!  I also bought general entertainment magazines there, too! And that was the non-porn list.  I was delighted by the amazing choice of porn magazines, videos, toys and novelties to be had.  I would often top of an unsuccessful bar night with a visit, just to see what was new or suddenly appealed to me. Heck, I even met delicious porn actors, Carlo Masi and Adam Champ there!

I guess its demise was inevitable, if not because print & porn are not prevalent enough to sustain the business, but because the gays don't need specialized places to find their stuff much anymore.

Even though it makes sense, it still makes me wonder how new Gays will ever know that feeling of walking into a new world where they suddenly feel like they finally belong.

As a Gay of A Certain Age, I know that experiencing that feeling has made me aware of a gratitude that I carry with me all my days and a sense of loss, because that landmark will no longer be there.
