Rock Around The Cock
http://www.rockaroundthecock.com
Another blog entry into depicting the beauty of cocks. Gotta love that theme, and the pictures certainly tend to spark one's imagination as well as you go through the text descriptions that go with each picture post. There are some links to follow if you are of a mind, but if you want to just enjoy some pictures of cocks, well, this entry has some buff looking guys. Its not niche specific, so there are muscle boys, bears too. Certainly worth a look for some "inspirational thinking".

Lurid Digs
Horrifying gay amateur interiors are the target of Lurid Digs' self-proclaimed "snooty panel" of sharp-tongued commentators, who dissect the interior décor of nude gay self portraits posted on the internet with merciless, learned abandon. The pics unearthed by the site are hilarious enough; the comments Lurid Digs attaches to them are priceless. Incongruous visual cues such as teddy bears and candelabra are zeroed in on for one snappy joke after the next, and while one guy's hard-on is being compared to the vertical patterns in his wallpaper in one area of the site, elsewhere a panel-member is speculating that Norman Bates' mother appears to be lurking in a mock-Sarcophagus. Hours of laughs.

Turtle Cove Resort & Spa
Always been a dream, to go down under (no not some hot twink either) to visit the country cousins from Australia. I mean its like the unexplored wilderness, and this place only makes me want to go there, even more. Naked resorts, with all them hot Aussie Guys without a stitch on? Oh yeah baby, talk about some hot dreams. This is a place to maybe put on the list of where to go, and stay while trekking down under. Rates, tours, and some excellent scenery are all detailed in this one site. Wouldn't mind doing some body painting, or visiting Mardi Gras. The pictures on the site certainly make me interested.

AussieBum
AussieBum's technicolor undies and hyper gay bathers may not be for you (a friend of mine says they remind him of Astro Boy) but a browse through their excellent website is as man-horny as a summer's day at Bondi Beach. Essentially an online mail-order catalogue, each garment is presented by a member of AussieBum's troupe of life-guard style male models, who frolic on Sydney beaches, forage meaningfully around rugged Australian national parks and lift weights at the gym while stripped to the waist and with their packages arranged just so to best show off the company wares. These beautifully shot photos are what make the site a standout, and even the main index page, where items are pictured under categories such as Classic WonderJock, Seven Deadly Sins and Dreamtime is enough to fire the imagination.

Muscle Bear
Hot damn, this site is the shizzle! I can't help myself when I see a huge muscular man covered in hair. There's something so primitive about these manly men that puts me to my knees. This will happen to you if you feel the same way, so be sure to have the tissue paper handy guys. Muscle Bear is where men who either admire bears, or are one themselves, can hook up. Signup is free and the guys are super friendly. This is a place where if you carry a few extra pounds or are just big in stature naturally, you will fit right in. I'm not very hairy in the least and yet I've had correspondence with some unbelievably sizzling bears. Kind, caring and straight forward is what you'll find at Muscle Bear. In time, it will be like home and you will have expanded your family by a large margin. The layout is great on the eyes and just surfing the members profiles will give you a stiffy like you wouldn't believe. Muscle Bear is highly recommended and a wonderful community. Go make some friends.

Apollowear Underwear
I never thought about it much, but you know, a nice pair of skivvies would make a great gift to someone special. I mean if you like undies, if it's a turn-on, then perhaps making sure your sweetie has the right underwear could help in those special moments. Some of the undies out there are, well rather exciting, if you believe in foreplay. Now if you are what I'd call a simple 'meat n taters' type sex nut, then what undies he wears won't matter. On the other hand, if you like a bit of fun first, well.. Lots of models showing all the styles, colors too. Click on an image and see more. While its commercial, it does tend to get one drooling. The guys are well built, and skin with some colorful loin coverings is a good stimulation.

Gay Stay
Planning a trip to Eastern Europe? Prices are average for travel, but what about where to stay while over in places like Prague or Budapest? Well, glad you asked, as this site seems to have some interesting accommodations available with some pretty good details. Detailed pictures of available places depending on the city you choose, not to mention some interesting comments. Maps are also shown, so you can get a good idea of the layout. Not for the typical tourist, but then when were you typical? Judging from some of the pictures, these are definitely upscale accommodations, and damn I wish my place looked as nice as some of those rooms shown. Doubt they would fit into my cheapness.

Gay/Lesbian Issues – Coming Out Stories
http://www.rslevinson.com/gaylesissues/coming ...
Most Homosexuals have a story to tell, about that moment in time when they finally came out of the closet. Some embellish the truth, others understate it, but whichever they do, fact is that coming out is a personal drama we all face. This site contains a collection of just such stories. Humorous at times, sad at other times, but then that is part of life and this is a site that collects those memories, and shares them with everyone. A chance for those on the verge to gain courage, or to reconsider. Lots of stories to read, to question, to ponder.

Hanne Blank
Talking about bi-sexuality and promoting books written by the author, Hanne Blank. This is her site, and perhaps the more interesting reading is when you click onto the blog rather than the all the book stuff. Though if you are into reading, curious about what it is to be Bi-Sexual, then perhaps checking out her books isn't a bad idea. On the other hand, the blog itself is a gold mine of little gems. From politics to just being an ordinary person, the blog has it all. Well written and while some might find it controversial, at least it seems honest. It is an insight into her life, and is a change of pace.

Jay's Tickling Video Site
An interesting site for those into feet, and watching them get tickled. Yep, you read it right, this site is dedicated to feet and the fine art of tickling. In fact it is rather refreshing to see people laughing and looking like they are having fun. Too much porn has what I'd call a dead look to it. You can see 'boredom' written all over their faces, but not here. You get to see people laughing as their feet are tickled, or under the armpits. So if feet are your thing, watching others being tickled, this is an interesting beginning into that foray.
-
Colage
Are you a parent? Then perhaps you might want to visit this resource site, that deals specifically with Gay Parents and their kids. It has some interesting statistics, but it is primarily a support group that is International. It is about the Children, but also about you, the adult. Tough to be GLBT in today's world, harder for the kids you have, hard for them to comprehend the complexity of you being the parent, but Gay. Confusing at best, and Colage is a resource you might find useful in dealing with it. Support groups, links, resources, all under the one roof, so if you are a parent, check it out.

Most Beautiful Man
http://www.mostbeautifulman.com
The only problem with this site is that the shirtless men in its endless galleries of photos are all a bit too beautiful. If you're after pics of sweaty, beefy rugby players swigging beers after the match, you won't find them here. But there's more Jesse Metcalfe and Colin Farrell than you can poke a stick at. The site is so fussy that it even has two model categories: Super Models and um, "regular" Models. You can also browse alphabetically through Actors, Athletes and Musicians – this is a bumper celebrity perv site that gives you bios, quotes and gossip about the famous guy you're wanking over.

Famous Males
FamousMales is just that: shirtless and nude pics of famous males from the worlds of tv, music, movies and sports. The site is split into two sections – editorial and user forums – which both contain innumerable photos of hotties from all over the globe. The hotbed of the site is the forums, which are a very busy space driven by hundreds of enthusiastic regulars including one member who posts screen caps of Australian football studs – including sweaty locker room and candid beach-training footage – every single week. The topless photos of a surprisingly muscular Daniel Radcliffe ("Harry Potter") were posted here almost immediately and there isn't a well built spunk worth looking at who isn't indexed somewhere on FamousMales.

BdyGlv's Personal HomePage
http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/3159/
It isn't what I expected from the warning page. Yet if you are into Rubber Suits, then this is a personal site with loads of pictures of men in Rubber. No, not wrapped in condoms, but in wet suits, like when you go skin diving? There are some fishing shots, rather large fish too but the theme is carried out in the entire site. Men in rubber suits, plus links to where you can get some. Definitely an interesting site for Rubber fans, as well as maybe Fishing fanatics. Rather interesting to see how the rubber expands, for different men.

GayDar.co.uk
Good old gaydar. Even if it is just a glorified virtual cruising ground, it's still the easiest way to chat to guys from all over the world – or just secretly look at their pics and read what they say they like doing in the sack. Always busy (if it's early morning your time, head for the chatrooms or profile lists from countries on the other side of the world), gaydar's interface is straightforward and practical. The limitations on free memberships can become a little restrictive, but occasional or casual users will probably get their fill without ever paying a cent. Also a sponsor of real-time events like the Sydney Mardi Gras, Gaydar is probably the most comprehensive, and most used, gay meet and chat site on the internet.

Anemic Royalty
http://anemicroyalty.wordpress.com/
If your bag is satire, spoofs on events or just reading stuff that is totally different, this could be the blog for you. Its an odd set up, some poetry, some news snippets that are poked at, but if different is your bag, Anemic Royalty might be worth a little visit. Get the glasses on to search for the humor, the sarcastic gems that are dotted throughout this blog entry.

DataLounge
There's nothing here but what the site itself calls "10 years of Gay Gossip, Politics and Pointless Bitchery". A simple forum that automatically updates new threads in order of posted time and which appears to have no moderators, rules or interference of any kind. It's just – largely American – gay guys killing time with often hilarious posts about their sex lives, work days or celebrity crushes. A random sampling of thread titles at time of writing: "How do you take your shirt off?", "My BF called me an idiot because I store bread in the fridge", and "How come there hasn't been more media coverage of Lady Bird's Death?". Sometimes only available to subscribers when traffic is heavy, the forum is otherwise completely free, and always the best place to check in and search for what Hollywood celebs are actually gay, and read the posted stories that "confirm" the rumours with anecdotes about blowjobs in LA nightclubs, for example.

Aaron Lydal's Homepage
A personal site with a slight twist, just slight. There are some x rated pictures that one can browse through, though they all seem to be about Aaron, which would seem natural, given it seems to be his personal site. There is a model search, allusion to another site but all in all it is a collection of him. Not a lot here, unless you into him. There are some rants, and some other stuff, like the model search, which seems to be about amateurs doing nothing but whacking off. Hard to say, as it is about a different site, so maybe this is a contact site for that? Way to get models? Like I said, small twist.

Gay Homes
Some of us never move, we are born and end our days in the same spot. However, many are far more mobile than that, as we find new jobs that takes us to new locations, new states of residence, or new cities. It is a bitch to move, and a good friendly realtor can help. Better if they are Gay Friendly and can also help in giving a little bit more insight into just what we suddenly got ourselves into. Gay Homes is a site listing gay friendly realtors across the United States. Having a friendly face that knows, is a help.

Gay Gardener
For those who like puttering around in the garden, this site has some interesting comments and pictures of what to do, and what not to do. It is about Gardening, and we all like the feel of dirt between the fingernails, or so some say. Personally I have a "black thumb" when it comes to growing things, but for those looking to enhance their "green thumb" capabilities, this is an interesting site. There are also some poems about gardens, gardening and stuff. Done in a blog style, it is a refreshing change from naked men, though doing it out in the garden is a pretty nice fantasy. First you have to have the garden though, so this site might help in that area.
