THE INNER CIRCLE: FACELIFT, BETTER

By An Unpaid Intern / Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

Have you seen the Inner Circle lately? Our member’s area is still stuffed full of the best gay porn, but all our theatres (there’s dozens of them) now have a much more intuitive layout. You can search inside each theatre and every scene has preview thumbnails and text summaries, so you can zap to exactly what’s going to get you off.

The Sexy Kaleidoscope of Shungaboy

By Mark Adnum / Monday, May 20th, 2013

The artist Shungaboy creates gorgeous paintings that celebrate male beauty and the thrill of desire. Inspired by the different kinds of men that he meets in real life, his work is a joyous combination of fantasy and the everyday. There’s something riotously real in the paintings, with a bonus throwback to an aesthetic of another time with sailors, boxers and what looks to be a slinky hustler here and there.

How To Have Sex In An Epidemic: 30 Years On

By Mark Adnum / Saturday, May 18th, 2013

I think it’s very disappointing that this week’s 30th anniversary of the publication of How To Have Sex In An Epidemic is not only going unnoticed by almost every single gay media outlet online and off, but that the anniversary takes place in an atmosphere where many gay men celebrate what seems to me to be a passionate ignorance about the fact that HIV exists and that bottoming with multiple partners but no condoms is the very thing that is perpetuating an epidemic that need not continue.

Sounding: Ouch!

By Mark Adnum / Thursday, May 16th, 2013

I remember having a swab once. She used a Q-tip and only dipped it a half-inch into the eye of my penis and it was easily the most painful medical experience I have ever been through. So, I don’t really have a huge urge to try sounding, where pipes, pens and chains are inserted into the urethra. But some guys like it, and who am I to judge?

PINK RUSSIAN #2: PAVEL PETEL

By Mark Adnum / Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

The fabulous Pavel Petel has posed in his hot pink bikini for these new shots for H & M by photographer Sergey Ostrikov. Pavel was even pinker here. Maybe you prefer him in glittering gold, as in here.
No? Maybe this simple weightlifting spread is more your style. Try out Mark Simpson’s take on Pavel and a new ad for shampoo, right here.
