May 6th, 2008I want a commitment.
I’m sick of masturbation.
Haven’t I seen you before?
Nice ass.
I need you.
My hand is tired.
You’re the only man I’ve ever cared about.
You are the only man who hasn’t rejected me.
I’m a Romantic.
I’m poor.
I really want to get to know you better.
So I can tell my friends about it.
It’s just orange juice, try it.
3 more shots, and he’ll have his legs around my head.
He’s kinda cute.
I want to have sex with him till my dick turns blue!
He’s not my type.
He won’t sleep with me.
I miss you so much
I am so horny that my dog is starting to look good.
I had a wonderful time last night.
Who the hell are you?
Do you love me?
I’ve done something stupid and you might find out.
Do you ‘really’ love me?
I’ve done something stupid and you’re going to find out.
I’ll give you a call.
I’d rather have my nipples torn off by wild dogs than see you again.
I’ve been thinking a lot.
You’re not as attractive as when I was drunk.
I think we should just be friends.
You’re ugly.
I’ve learned a lot from you.

Is Underwear Really Gay?
April 22nd, 2008So with all of the “gay underwear” companies—ginch gonch, 2(x)ist, C-IN2—my question is this: Why does the gay community require its own brands of underwear? Are we not finding the fit and style we need with such solid standbys as Fruit of the Loom or Jockey? Is it because we like the idea of firetrucks and cowboys on our skivvies? Or is it simply the sexy men and women that grace their very popular ads?
Perhaps the trick is in the advertising. In 2(x)ist ads, you can see at least half, if not all, of the model’s perfect body. Their ads feature sexy men and women in provocative positions with looks on their faces that suggest they’d like you to be involved in the removal of their underwear.
Ginch Gonch offers you fun times in various places like on a ranch, in the desert, and by a lake as long as you’re wearing the corresponding briefs. They want you to have fun in your undies, and as seems a similar theme with gay underwear brands, they expect that you’ll be showing these off at some point.
Brands like Jockey on the other hand cater to the man on an underwear mission. The Jockey client is looking for fit and fit alone. This is shown most clearly in the fact that their ads feature no part of the body that isn’t covered in their underwear, and the positioning suggests nothing except that you will most likely be comfortable in their cotton wares. Also, while offered in a variety of sizes and styles, Jockey comes in a mere three colors, and that’s no way to sell underwear to a gay man.
So maybe it’s just the fact that we’ll buy a brand that understands what Victoria’s Secret has known for years: Most men enjoy seeing their significant others in sexy underthings. (Women enjoy it too, but it’s hard to get a straight guy to wear something that puts a bald eagle on his crotch…sorry ladies.)
