Now...I want to talk about a topic near and dear to me. You know what I mean. Yep...foreskins! Seems to have come to my attention that in ALMOST every book I read in the m/m genre, no matter where it's set, ALL the men in them are cut!

Yes, I collect dragons. Don't ask me why, I just do. It gives me joy to collect pieces which really get me going on a level I can't describe. I don't have many, but the ones I do, I love. No, I am not like that TV show American Pickers where if you come to my house there's flotsam of dragon junk lying all over the yard and in delapidated out buildings.

Imagine writing the scene above!
Oh my...all that..."and then he did this" sort of stuff you'd need just to make the scene make sense. It would be a long scene indeed, if only to make sure all the characters got their turn. Which, in essence, no matter how many participants are in a scene, that's what should happen.
All characters should get their turn.

I read in the paper the other day a rather interesting article. It was about how 'researchers' were looking into aspects of love. After no doubt tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayers money, just as many staff and many months, these researchers discovered that...get this...in a 'comfortable' relationship men are more likely to say "I love you" than women....about 30% more. What's more, and if that wasn't enough to rock the foundations of the world, they said that this "I love you" is proba... Continue reading ...

It was so damn hot yesterday I spent the morning doing my writing (in the nude and in my back garden where it was shady) and then, the rest of the day lounging around on the sofa with the fan on and a satisfied smile. There may have been a couple of naps there to save myself up for the big afternoon snooze, but there you go.
Yesterday was the first day in a long time I pretty much did stuff all (aside from writing 5000 words on my latest WIP) Oh, how one loves to be lazy sometimes :)

So...today I give you Yilmaz, that wondrous Turkish delight of a boy who'd be an exotic taste sensation, no doubt! He may be lovely and creamy on the inside like most twinks, but there'd be nothing soft about him when he starts to play with his large dick. To vote to see more of Yilmaz, click here.

Now, as a follow on from yesterday's post, it has come to my attention that the best time to check your man for any 'issues' in the hair department, is while you're pumping away behind him.

Today I want to talk (very tongue in cheek) about the role of the top, or pitcher, or the guy who does the pounding, if you please. Yep, the top is very important, but some think his role is a little too simple. You know, shove it in, pump away until climax, roll over and order pizza. Not quite like that...so here's my take on how not to write a love scene from the POV of the top.

I read an article in the newspaper the other day about the importance of porn for men, and how all the naysayers who have been claiming it's bad for both the man and the relationship he is in, have been primarily women. The article spoke about how men watch porn in secret.
This, of course, got me thinking. Now, there are a few issues here, but most importantly, I believe it's all about how a man's partner--and notice I am not saying a woman or a man here because I don't want this to become a s... Continue reading ...

By the time you‘ve reached puberty, that‘s when a lot of the benefits of your foreskin will have come into play. What with all those hormones rushing around your system, giving you hair, a deeper voice, and the release from your glans and softening of your foreskin so it can be retracted in preparation for sexual intercourse. If, like most guys, you explore/explored your friends as well as yourself, you would be well aware of how your foreskin behaves when handled by others. Many games ad... Continue reading ...

Being Circumcised is cleaner: This is one of the biggest myths out there, and perhaps the single biggest 'excuse' for circumcising boys. To put it simply, and to make it as direct as possible, WE HAVE SHOWERS these days, people. Boys can clean themselves very easily, and cleaning under the foreskin is no more difficult than cleaning behind the ears or any other body part. It's just an excuse to say a foreskin needs to be removed to make him more hygienic. I'd hate for him to have dirty nose o...

Masturbation (also known as: wanking,
tossing, chocking the chicken, rubbing one off, jerking off, spanking the
monkey, feeding the pigeons, rumpling the foreskin, self love, shining the
head, and so many more) is basically the act of playing with your cock -
usually by hand – until you climax. It is not a dirty word, and as a human, is
one of the most natural things you can do to give yourself sexual pleasure. It
is also safe. A win/win situation in my mind. So when you are ready to

This years Campbells Soup commercial
here in Australia makes your chest hair grow just watching it! It's all
about the macho man. I give you, "The Fully Loaded" man with "Balls of
Meat" no less! (and yes, the capitals are there because it's more manly
to use them, oh yeah)
What a brilliantly stupid advert this is!
Not only does it feature men doing outdoor things with other men,
there's a 70's p*rn star look-alike, a jumpsuit that Elvis would have
been happy with, and a desk fan powere... Continue reading ...

Okay, here is a trailer for the
upcoming gay film, "Twinklight" and I have to say right off the bat, if
the acting/lighting/music/film quality stays like this for the rest of
the film, it will SHIT all over the tedious and terribly acted
"Twilight" stuff that's been done already in mainstream cinema from
Stephanie Meyer's books. Sorry twilight fans, but gay vampires with
stars who can act win hands down! I mean, I still haven't got over the
fact that in the "New Moon" movie when charac... Continue reading ...

This is the video that has spurred on today's post. Click here to view it. Please, it is NSFW (not safe for work) so yeah, don't watch this one around anyone who will tell on you :-)
Now, the video features the talents of one Brent Corrigan (a very popular p*rn star) promoting safe sex by demonstrating how to put on a condom properly. Sure, a simple thing, but ever so important in this day and age. Let's put aside the fact that Brent engaged in unsafe sex at the tender age of 17 and that he's ... Continue reading ...

Okay, let me talk about something a lot
of you may find 'cringe-worthy' If you are not interested in male/male
love then please don't read any further. Cool?
Here we go
then:
So, as all of you who know I write male/male romance,
have done since I was first published. A lot of you may be thinking
what's the appeal of two men showing each other their affection. Well,
to put it simply, the answer is just that. Men showing
affection/emotion. Something a lot of women want from their man but j... Continue reading ...

Here's an excerpt to help whet your appetite for m/m sci-fi/fantasy adventure.
I
tasted him on an intimate level. My mind
clouded with confusion. His kiss was perfect, not too soft, yet
commanding
enough to know he was in control. He ran his hands over my face,
brushing away
my hair as he con...

Keeping up my inspiration for writing is very hard at the moment, especially considering my health issues of late. My writing has taken a back seat as I am caught between doctors visits, the hospital and spending as much time as I can with my family.
I was thinking the other day that in the 39 years I have been on this planet, I haven't been sick for more than say 2 days at a time and had accumulated nearly 6 months of sick leave in 15 years! All that has changed now. I have been sick for a t... Continue reading ...

Winter has set in here in Melbourne. Days are darker, nights are cold, and the rain comes and goes. This change in seasons has pretty much guaranteed that I do most things indoors, only venturing out to go to work and get the mail.
Yet, would you believe I STILL can't get my bin day right? I've been here over a year, too! I either put the damn thing out two days early so that the things in the way sitting on the curbside, or I end up running down the street, bin in tow (and in my underwear) af... Continue reading ...

So, in an unprecedented move by me, I'm going to release a second excerpt from the book
