“Strangers In The Night, Exchanging Glances…”

I’m in a bit of a late ’70s/early ’80s glossy Women-In-Jeopardy movie phase right now (The Eyes of Laura Mars, Tattoo, The Fan, A Stranger Is Watching) and since Cruising ditches imperiled models, fashion designers, and shutterbugs in favor of just applying all the conventions to provocative, metropolitan men, I had to pick up this secondhand copy of the Gerald Walker 1970 novel — which I frankly didn’t know even existed — when I spotted it atop a street vendor’s stand.

Gerbils, Boynappers, & Needle Men: A Gay Urban Legend Sampling

Everyone knows the big ones.
The maniac in the backseat. The spiders in the hair. The kidney thieves. The hand-licking roommate-killer.

Essentially, they’re the fairytales we begin to embrace as young adults, with witches, wolves, and trolls supplanted by hook-handed fiends, mirror-haunting ghosts, and alligators in the sewers. Localized yarns bordered in by language or culture barriers can sometimes surmount those boundaries and become universal (way to be, Chupacabra), adapted and retold in new contexts.

Faulty Towers?: Probing The Plight of A Porno Pariah

Porno tomes.
I love them, and my bookshelf houses such tell-alls as Christy Canyon‘s Lights, Camera Sex!, A Thousand & One Night Stands: The Life of Jon Vincent, Traci Lords: Underneath It All, John Holmes: A Life Measured In Inches, Wonder Bread & Ecstasy: The Life and Death of Joey Stefano, Blue Blake‘s Out of the Blue: Confessions of an Unlikely Porn Star, and Boy in the Sand: Casey Donovan, All-American Sex Star.

Hands Off The Merchandise: A Guide To Adult Boutique Etiquette

We all have our limits in life.
I can’t add in my head. I can’t sleep in an unfamiliar place. I will never get the appeal of Glee.
Also, I have a problem with frequenting adult retailers.
I don’t know how common a situation it is for others, but it’s not unusual for straight men in my life to ask me to purchase porn on their behalf; apparently, having a gay guy act as their procurer mollifies the guilt many straight men associate with buying smut.

Operation Jumbo Drop: An Olympian Fuckfest — Fact Or Fiction?

It’s a state of emergency up in Vancouver — and everybody’s going down!
The CBC broke a story this week about the Canadian Government scrambling to respond to the Great Vancouver Olympics Condom Shortage by shipping an auxiliary supply to the masses of sex-mad Olympians who’ve descended on the city, and tongues everywhere began wagging about the epic Sex-In that must be taking place up north.

Two San Diego Surfers Ride Some Wild Swells

Who could resist a headline like this? Not me.
And besides, when you’ve got porn as hot as this, well, it is really swell.
New in the Cruiser Boys theater: Rusty and Steve are tall, muscular, well equipped, stoners surfers.
Rusty invites Steve over to the small beach cottage that he’s house sitting. They share a bowl. Rusty puts the cat outside and some porn flicks on the DVR.

Josman and Anonymous Team Up for Buttboy In A Blindfold

Nightcharm is overjoyed to announce that Anonymous — the most published author in history — has coupled with our resident cartoon genius Josman to create one of the most controversial stories to ever land in our Inner Circle library.
Modest to a fault, yet possessed of political secrets that have toppled governments, as well as sexual endowments that have redefined pornography, Anonymous here confesses that he is also — surprise!

HOT: Fantasy Boys’s Latest ‘House Boy’ Escapade

Hotness Alert in Nightcharm’s Inner Circle. The latest update from the guys at our Fantasy Boys theater takes a "house boy" theme, which does or doesn’t work depending on how hard you’re willing to suspend your disbelief.

Personally, I’m not willing at all because the shoot is so hot that I don’t really need more than they’re giving me: two really hot boys getting nasty together.
