Suddenly I feel the urge to buy underwear. Or to cover hot guys with paint. This is quite the sexy ad. Read More …

Women And Male-Male Erotic Fiction
The Sydney Morning Herald has featured an article about the popularity of male-male erotic fiction (slash, yaoi or gay male romance) with straight women. It features quotes from me, using my Louise Lush pseudonym. The journalist (Alyssa McDonald) has treated the subject well, talking to various different sources and not descending into sex-negative language. When Alyssa contacted me she wasn’t particularly well informed about the subject. Her main source of Read More …
It Gets Better… But Why Should It Be Bad In The First Place?
You may have already seen this video by sex advice columnist Dan Savage. In it he and his husband urge gay teens to ignore the bullies at high school because life does get better. Today I also watched this very moving speech by Texas city councillor Joel Burns, discussing his own experiences of bullying and the happy life he’s led since high school: The “It’s Get Better” Project has now Read More …
More Proof That Ewan McGregor Is Wonderful
I think Ewan McGregor is gorgeous and he has long been a favourite actor of mine due to his eagerness to get his gear off in films. I think he should win an award for “Most Full Frontal Male Nude Scenes”. Now he’s told Out magazine that he doesn’t mind kissing guys on set because it “gets his blood up.” Talking about kissing Jonathan Rhys Meyers in ‘Velvet Goldmine’, Ewan Read More …
A Naked Man On The Cover… Of A Fashion Mag
Fashion and design magazine Wallpaper* has gone out on a limb by offering a cover featuring a “peelable” naked man. The cover starts out all very clothed, but you can then peel back a sticker and the rather handsome guy on the cover is totally naked. It’s a lovely idea and one I’d like to see more of. I’m sure the girls at Erotica Cover Watch will be very pleased. Read More …
The Male Gaze Strikes Again
Sheesh. I’m shaking my head at this EW article: Is Wolverine the most homoerotic movie ever? The writer declares the whole movie to be GAY GAY GAY because Hugh Jackman takes his shirt off and there’s a naked fight scene. Because male flesh can only ever be shown in a gay context and it’s not like there’d be any chicks in the audience of an action movie, right? Thankfully a Read More …
No Way Was He Gay! Was He?
Through the magic of Twitter I found myself perusing Amp Magazine and this article that has prompted me to post a quick rant. You see, the author has gone out of her way to suggest that the character of John Bender (that’s the bad boy Judd Nelson one) in the Breakfast Club was actually gay. And that none of us ever noticed it. I read it and thought… what? Surely Read More …
Naked Men Are Everywhere In Gay Advertising
I sometimes muse about the way that the nude male body is hidden from public view, but the female form is considered to be public property. Apparently this is not the case in the gay community. MCV has a piece discussing the fact that advertisers targeting gay men almost always resort to using beefcake to sell their wares. Doesn’t matter what the product is, chances are it will be accompanied Read More …
