Martin Brant
Martin Brant was born along the banks of the Amazon River and raised by a Kaiapo wet-nurse. Most of the time his mother was busy doing medical research and teaching the Kaiapo children how to play the violin. After growing up with these native folks and battling a long bout of Malaryia, Martin shipped himself off to Uganda where he acquired a degree in rocket science. No seriously. He claims he has not gotten a rocket off the ground yet though. These, he takes great satisfaction in spending time with his wife, in writing, and in telling lies. No lies per say, what they call "fiction" in the literary world. Wonderful stories that touch at every nerve and emotion human beings experience. Be they erotic of otherwise, the man has a knack for reaching into your soul and stirring it vigorously. While married in a heterosexual relationship, Martin seems to have a pretty open mind, and utilizes this gift to create wonderful tales. One could spend a lot of time here and enjoy reading every last word. A must see for the readers out there.
Electronic Gay Community Magazine
"Continuously published since 1988, The Electronic Gay Community Magazine is the world's longest running online publication for the gay, lesbian and bisexual community." Our first page is pretty basic, with all of the navigation links at the bottom of the page. The large ad you will see of some chubby dude and a really hot stud leads to an Amazon listing for a porn flick entitled "Eating Out". Nothing extraordinary really in my opinion. Either don't click on it, or if the curiousity is just too much, go ahead. I can confirm that it's a clean link. From the links below, you can check out the latest news, editorials, health information, the latest in AIDS research, and quite a few other things. Don't expect much in the way of sensational design here, but sometimes less is more as we all know. Be sure to visit "Salutations" for a good chuckle, and "GayTV" is pretty entertaining as well. There's a fair amount to see here, and it looks as though it's all kept up to date. A fun resource for sure.
Leather Jock 25
The more I travel the wonderful world of the internet and all that it has to offer us, the more I realize I will never grow tired of personal amateur gay fetish sites. Especially when they're well done like LeatherJock25. Our host here is a hot, muscular man who adores leather and fetishes of most kinds. Including rubber, motorcycles and the skinhead look. He in fact keeps his own head shaved right to "the wood". Navigation is fast and straightforward, with your links all accessible to your immediate left in a scrolling sidebar. Every page has it's own unique layout and the almost "casual" look is very welcome. Both softcore and hardcore pics are available of the host for our viewing pleasure. He really does look quite good dressed up in full leathers and engaging in some BDSM action. Thick muscles adorned by chaps and studded arm bands await your fetish-loving eyes. If tattoos give you a rise, be sure to check out "Bod Mod" in the menu. It's all there, go get it. Fine personal site indeed!
Free Speech Coalitions
Ok now we're getting into some serious politics here. Although Free Speech Coalition is not just political. There are a fair amount of psychological articles as well here. I love the way it's set up and it navigates quite well. However, I'll tell you right now, there is a lot to read. So much so in fact, I spent about a half hour just browsing and didn't even touch a small portion of what is available. The main objective for the Free Speech Coalition is to fight censorship. Founded in 1991, it now finds most of it's conflict in the adult entertainment industry. Although, believe it or not, it started with adult products back then. From having pschologists do studies on the dangers of "porn addiction", to the latest news on the Jimi Hendrix Vivid Video conspiracy, the wealth and depth of resources and news regarding the adult industry is astounding. So much so in fact, being that I am involved with this business, I believe I'll be spending more time here. If you have ever wondered if certain things are legal, illegal, or fought over in the American porn industry, all you need to do is head over here and search it out. What a fantastic site and resource for those of us who truly believe in freedom of sexual expression. Enjoy!
Gay Sex Slut Blog
It would appear as though GaySexSlut just got going as a blog, but the four stories that are up are pretty damn erotic if you dig the hardcore stuff. The blogmaster is as he claims to be, a gay sex slut. He frequents lots of parties, gay sex clubs and the like, in the New York area. His main fetish - for a lack of a better term - is massive cocks. He even has some pics of a guy that fucked him who is the proud owner of a 9" by 6" uncut monster. Damn, that thing is huge. If it really is him anyway. From what I read and what my gut feeling tells me, I think this guy is telling the truth. He really is a slut to put it mildly. And the more anonymous the sex is, the better it is for him. The stories themselves gave me a hardon, so that should tell you something. I write for a living, so that's no easy thing to do to me. It would be interesting for us to sit back and watch this blog grow as the blogmaster takes on more and more men. It doesn't seem as though his appetite is going to wane any time soon, so it could be a place to keep going back to. We shall see.
Equality California
Equality California appears to be a very professional designed site. EQCA was founded in 1998 and has since grown into a large entity fighting for the rights for all who are gay, bisexual, and transgendered. We all know how fickle and sometimes conservative legislation has been in that state for a long time, so I'm sure EQCA has it's hands full. Here, you can vote on the latest anti-gay bills, read the EQCA blog, browse all the news latest in regard to same-sex marriages in California, check out events, rallies, how to help or get involved, and many other things. It's a rather large site, so I was only able to actually browse through about half of it or so. It's interesting to see the impact EQCA has had on the state legislation itself, showing us that they have gone from being a bunch of loudmouths who hardly anyone listened to, to being taken quite seriously even in the senate itself. I recommend checking out "Building A State Of Equality" and "Legislative Center" for some very informative proceedings now taking place. I'm pleased to see there are some folks out there who really are fighting for our rights to be who we want to be and not get discriminated because of it. This is the 21st century and it shouldn't be happening anyway. A great resource without a doubt.
Male Sex Objects
Wow! Italian men. Ya gotta love them. I must say that you really don't come across a lot of blogs featuring Italian men. Which I find surprising as they're so damn hot for crying out loud. It would appear that most of the men portrayed here are celebrities of some kind. Be they soccer players, models etc. I'm not very hip with the scene much so I have no idea who is who. All I know is that the torsos, chests, gorgeous faces, and wonderful bulges are a very refreshing site. There is a larger emphasis on more artistic photography here as opposed to pornography. I didn't see any nude images at all. Although some were close indeed. There are also some super hot Serbian studs to check out if you want to browse around the whole blog. Posts go back as far as February 2006 so there is a lot to look at. Text does not seem to be a major requirement, although you will find the odd paragraph here and there. The majority of text is in english, but some looks as though it might be Italian as well. Perhaps some plugins may not be working here as I am getting some IE errors in certain parts of the page. But at least the pics show up and all the men are HOT HOT HOT! Go look at them. I'm sure you'll enjoy them no less.
The Art of Rob Bartell
Well I'll be damned! As most of us are aware, graphic artistry has really taken a massive step forward when it comes to reality type of portrayals. Just look at some of the most recent blockbusters with animated characters in them. It's quite astounding. I'm not sure whether or not Rob Bartell - the blogmaster and artist here is painting, drawing, or using digital graphics to create his incredibly muscular and gorgeous men here, but the fact is they are so realistic looking, I actually had to look closer to see that they were animations. He obviously loves musclemen. Especially really studly looking ones with pronounced lips and perfect hair. LOL. On his blog here we can get some great previews of his work along with links to purchase his magazines and limited prints. If you can appreciate very good art where the subjects are pretty well what most of us dream about when it comes to men, then Rob Bartell may just have something for you. But hey, even if you're just a browser and want to look at the samples, what this man does will simply blow your mind. Fantastic artist he is!
Dharma's Blog
Well known lesbian author Dharma Kelleher brings us her own blog where she "Rants about life, love, sobriety, writing, and equal rights." I must admit I have never heard of Dharma, and that's probably terrible of me. However, from reading some of her work here, I can honestly say that I have been missing out on something. For one thing, those of us who have battled certain substance abuse demons and the like will get some interesting perspective from her keen mind. To find out more about this interesting and talented lady, be sure to check out "About Dharma". The author is a person who feels very strongly about community and the pluses it brings to all of us. Especially as we live in a world where more often than not we don't even get to know our own neighbours. Even within the gay community itself. Everything alphabetically from AIDS to Writing are covered within almost 2 years worth of entries. One of the most interesting things about Dharma Kelleher's musings is that she talks to each one of us as a person, not by our gender or sexual orientation. That's so refreshing and welcome. A great writer with a helpful and intelligent blog.
Erastes
Ever since I was young I have been a voracious reader and writer. I guess that's why I write for people. So coming across sites which still push reading in our society I find most refreshing indeed. We all know other forms of communication and media have shoved literature to the side in the past 15 years. Tis' a shame, but true I'm afraid. However, with sites like Erastes popping up now and again, at least the most intellectual of human communication next to speech is not completely dead. Featured here are large snippets of stories by Erastes. The author's theme is "romantic historical homoerotic fiction". As a person who can appreciate good and unique writing, this stuff is HOT!! Even the settings and prose is old school, while mixed in with some more modern text and styling. From the romance of the Regency era or the desperate sadness of the English Civil War, all are infused with homoerotic fiction which will stir your soul as well as get you quite randy to say the least. Very interesting writing done in a most interesting context. Wonderful looking site too.
BearoticArt
Oh boy, here we go. You know I always run across a great site when I get a raging hardon as soon as I get past the warning page. LOL. For your information, the warning page is done in flash format, but for those with a fast connection, it loads pretty quickly and creates quite the interesting character to click on and enter the main area of the site. Neil Bruce is your artist and webmaster here. What the man does with leather and certified bear profiles in a graphic art context is incredible. Bald heads, chubby to large bodies, astoundingly furry muscular physiques, and leather chaps are a mainstay at Bearoticart. There are two galleries available to us, featuring 32 illustrations in both. Whether you like men who are large everywhere and hairy, or heavily muscled, they're all here. Cigar chomping, leather booted blokes who look just about as manly and real as possible are portrayed in one of the most unique artforms I've ever seen. I really can't explain why my own mind finds this type of illustration such a turnon, but I really try not to analyze it very much. It is what it is, and Bruce's work is nothing short of sensational. Also available are "Links" to more very talented folks trying their hands in a similar theme. Bearoticart is a simply laid out, yet wonderfully designed site showing off the most lustful of bear art. Highly recommended!
Prism Comics
"Prism Comics is a nonprofit organization that supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) comics, creators, and readers. Prism Comics was incorporated in April 2003 in the state of Georgia and received its 501(c) 3 charitable status shortly thereafter." While Prism Comics is non-profit, the comics here are indeed for sale just so know. However, all proceeds go to the artists for a change - and there sure is lots to choose from! Whether it's super heroes that float your boat, or you bend more toward the "Archie" style of humour, it's all here. Of course, gay erotica for both genders is also available if that's something which interests you. This is a large site, and there is lots to see. So I will touch on what I can here. Prism Comics seems to hold conventions across the USA, so be sure to check out the "Galleries" link to see some fun photos, and even meet some of the artists. If you are interested in getting involved either as an admirer and/or a fellow comic artist, signing up with the forum is of course free and can be a fun place to hang out to share and learn. If you have artwork you would like advertised with Prism Comics, click on "Advertise" in the top menu to see your options. Like I said, it's a large site, and there is plenty to puruse. So the only thing left to do is go there and see for yourself. Cool site and it navigates very well.
Ismael Alvarez
Here at Gaydemon we are always on the hunt for great artists and their unique styles of expression. Ismael Alvarez, in my strong opinion, is a sensational graphic artist to say the least. If you don't speak spanish, be sure to click on the "English Version" to your right if that is the language you are most familiar with. Ismael brings us his incredible digital expression all for free. While he does do graphic design for a living, as you can see from the logos he has designed on display in the right sidebar, he gives us a large view into his work so that those not interested in buying anything can still enjoy his talents. However, if you do wish to use his work in a commercial or personal context on your own sites, according to the copyright information at the bottom of the site, you have permission to use it. Of course, you must be sure to name Ismael as the artist of the said illustration. Ismael does do custom orders as well. Click on "Contact" if you wish to hire him. Whether it's hot devil studs with bulging baskets in their trousers, or beautiful female facial profiles showing off gorgeous smiles and eyes, Ismael can cover it and take it to the top level of expertise. Some of the best digital art I've seen in a long time for sure. Nice looking site too!
Gay Clubs List
Well I'll be. Gay Club List actually lists a ton of gay clubs accessible on every continent on the planet. I can't even begin to imagine the work and research it took to put this resource together. You can either access information for each club by mousing over an area on the front page world map and and clicking on a continent, or scroll down and use one of the quick links. Depending on the continent itself, you can find anywhere from 5 to 100 clubs listed for each choice. The city where the bar, cabaret, or dance club is located is included in each place's table of course, as well as any additional information which might be available. I tell you this, if a person was to try and read about every single club featured here, they'd need a few days and a whole lot of time. Navigation is clean and flawless, with no dead links. The larger and more well-known clubs will of course have more information, and sometimes even a link to their personal website. For those who are looking to travel in the next while, this site could very very helpful for you indeed. Awesome directory!
Istanbul Gay
If you are a traveller and need some help getting around in this interesting and old world Turkish city, you will definitely need Istanbul Gay. The main page is pretty simple, however, all your links to whatever you might be seeking is right here for the taking. The "Istanbul Gay Guide", "Gay Friendly Hotels", and "Gay Hotels" are even available to check out. The ladies need not fret either as the "Lesbian Guide" link will perhaps help you along. I found no dead links and the wealth of information is astounding. I had no idea Istanbul was such a gay friendly town. As I do not plan on travelling to this beautiful place any time soon, I have no need for any of the resources available. However, I found myself drawn by the wonderful photos and excitement evoked from them about Istanbul. Even if you're not interested in flying out that way any time soon, this site may just give you a thrill regardless.
Jacket Bound
While we are starting to see more and more free sites related to bondage and all the kinks that come with it, leather straightjacket pages are still fairly unique. Of course, the jackets don't have to necessarily be made from leather to make it onto this site. At your disposal are loads of free pics sorted into particular galleries that are easy to find, a personal blog which hasn't been updated since the end of July but still supplies plenty of hardcore fetish action, and some fantastic stories which are so damn erotic, whether they're true or fiction becomes completely irrelevant as you read them. Leather masks, breath control, and serious bondage are the name of the game here. Some of the content is the actual site host engaging in his favourite kinks, and yet some are of people close to him or those who have sent in their own scenarios captured in graphic photo galleries. Regardless of the fact that this site hasn't been updated in almost a month, what's already up is pretty fucking hot if this is your kind of thing. Those who are claustrophobic in any way need not apply. For those who aren't, have fun!
Master Taino
When it comes to personal leather and BDSM sites, I am always so impressed with people who are willing to splash themselves all over the net with their own sites. I mean, it was only up until a few years ago where most people engaged in this stuff behind several locked doors and would in no way whatsoever want anyone to know they behave in such ways. Master Taino has his own family, no less, of leather lovers. He is our main Master though and demands that his "subjects" be shown serving him on the site. He even has his own Training Academy for crying out loud!! Your link options at the top of the page are "About Master Taino", "The Family", "Education", and "Resources". The family consists of Master Taino himself and his two slaves. By clicking on the navigation link, you can see some pictures of them together, or Master training one or both at a time. Some of the pictures aren't hardcore at all, and literally do look as though they are one small happy family. LOL. There are many things to check out here, so be sure to just navigate around and have some fun. Check out Master Taino's Training Academy, accessible through a clickable banner near the bottom of the main page. Nice site.
Ask Gay "Dr. Bill"
This is the description for "Ask Gay Dr. Bill" - "A professional author who's been Out and Proud, openly gay, for many years, answers questions about the gay community for his gay brothers and sisters and other interested parties." Yes, Dr. Bill seems to know what he's talking about in my opinion. I also admire his "no nonsense" answers and advice. I mean, when it comes to accepting who we are and what we like to engage in sexually and lifestyle wise, why beat around the bush?! In the most recent entry dated "August 20th 2008", Dr. Bill responds to a person who runs into a lot of young people these days who truly think that homosexuals have finally gained total acceptance in our society. A lot of this is of course because they are young and are not aware of the violence and lack of human rights that some older gay people remember. It is introspective Q&A's like this most recent one which make up the gist of "Ask Gay Dr. Bill". Not all are so profound or negatively truthful and even contain some humour and interesting points. It's the Dr. Ruth of the gay world put down in a blog. Pretty cool. Nice looking and fast loading blog too.
Utopia Asia
Seeing as Taiwan is one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to Gay, Lesbian and Transgendered Rights, I thought perhaps this resource could be helpful to all of us. To say Utopia-Asia is a search engine and directory is a major understatement. Right from the top of the page you can find recent news and information on HIV, Travel Tips, Accomodations, and even by country yet! Scrolling down, you will find upcoming and recent events in Taiwan, as well as a link to get your copy of the Utopia Guide to everything gay in this fine, fun country. It's recommended to browse the "General Information" entry to find out all that is available here. Scrolling down even further toward the bottom of the front page will take you to links to "articles and publications", as well as "organizations" which Utopia-Taiwan think are helpful and beneficial to all of us who live this lifestyle. By far one of the best free resources I have seen for those of the gay persuasion, take a look and see what you can find. Nice site indeed.
Human Doormat
Wow. Just when I though I'd seen all the kinks and fetishes floating around in the world, I come across Human Door Mat. Your webmaster seems to love nothing more than being trampled on with boots, shoes, bare feet, or whatever. He's got some pics up listed under whichever category might fit the act he was engaging in at that time. Face sitting also seems to be a part of his turnon as well. First off, the photography is well done. The resolution is superb to say the least. Secondly, if anyone reading this is offended in any way about watching someone get abused in such a manner, this site is not for you at all. For those who love to see a dude get walked on - literally - you just found a wonderful place to get off. I'd like to say too that this guy's kinks don't stop at just trampling and the like. He loves to lick shoes, boots, feet and anything ped related. So for those who are into that kind of action, you could be in heaven as well. One of the most unique and well put together sites I have ever seen, Human Door Mat will get your rocks off if this is your thing.
