Too Many Gay Fat Cells

Tom Venuto:

A typical young male adult stores about 60,000 to 100,000 calories of energy in body fat cells. What triggers the release of all these stored fatty acids from the fat cell? Simple: When your body needs energy because you’re consuming fewer calories than you are burning (an energy deficit), then your body releases hormones and enzymes that signal your fat cells to release your fat reserves instead of keeping them in storage.

white cars

One of Helmut Smits most recent art installations harkens back to a time when black and white did not mix. I am presuming that his next garage-based statement will be entitled “Rosa Parks”.

Boobiesexuals Unite

big breastsHaha! Thanks to Queerty for pointing out this VillageVoice article on why straight women and gay men get turned on by a big set of bouncing, ample breasts.

Matthew, a graphic artist, describes himself as a “gay tit man.” He explains, “Despite always knowing that my only sexual attraction is to men, I can remember having an appreciation, or downright fetish, for women’s breasts my entire life.” What does this all mean? Some would posit that breasts are so ubiquitous, people from across the sexual spectrum are bound to want to touch them—a consumerist notion of sexuality. But I think it’s deeper, because it doesn’t automatically make sense that gay men or straight women would want to touch, feel, and ogle women’s boobs. Breasts may remind us of being babies needing food, represent contrast to the firmness of cocks, or just draw the eye when presented as if on a platter. Boob worship isn’t universal, though; some people, even straight guys and dykes, prefer other body parts.

Minx, who’s in an open relationship, believes that kinky and polyamorous people are open to nuanced views of eroticism. “Sexual labels are convenient; it’s much easier to say, ‘I’m bisexual’ than to say, ‘I’m mostly straight and really into cocks, but I’ve been with a woman once or twice and can take or leave it, except for the breasts, which I grope at every opportunity . . . and it’s entirely possible that I simply haven’t met the right woman,’ ” she explains.

Oh Mommy!

Oxy-Mormon - Confessions of a Mormon Boy

mormon boyMy favorite part of the Salt Lake Tribune review of ‘Confessions of a Mormon Boy’ is highlighted below.

Fales begins his story with an introduction - ”I’m a gay Mormon, which I think makes me an oxy-Mormon” - and a wide, earnest smile that suggests an adolescence of innocence in Utah, the heart of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Frankly, Fales’ story would not be as interesting or even novel without the remarkable transformation he undergoes from Utah husband and father to New York City prostitute. Billing himself as a 24-year-old with Mormon manners and a Donny Osmond smile, Fales becomes quite successful on the New York escort scene and succumbs to the trappings of the stereotypical urban gay male life: drugs, random hookups and eventual self-loathing.

The self-loathing could come from having a Donny Osmond smile…

Depressed Creative Types Have More Sex

beatnikWell, this is interesting, and a reason to dig out the old mopey black turtleneck…

Turns out that creative people are getting into, and out of, more relationships than “non-creative” types. Maybe we have greater imagination for both what could be, and what else could be. Thus, creatives are more willing to take a risk, initially, but also more willing to jump ship.

“Poets and artists have more sexual partners but they also have high rates of depression.”

U.S. GLBT Consumers Love Hybrids

priusA recent study reveals that the GLBT crowd loves hybrids.

Representing over $600 billion in buying power, U.S. gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) automotive consumers favor luxury and import brands according to Harris Interactive AutoGLBT.

Study Highlights

  • According to the AutoGLBT study, GLBT consumers favor luxury brands
    versus non-luxury brands, though balancing image with affordability is
    a high priority.
  • GLBT consumers (51%) are significantly more interested in hybrid
    electric vehicles than their non-gay counterparts (34%) and feel that
    they are worth paying more money for.
  • Automakers’ quest to move away from “traditional” media sources–having
    more of an online presence and “viral marketing” focus — hits squarely
    at the GLBT consumer. This group relies heavily on both the Internet
    (62%) and “word-of-mouth” (45%) advice when deciding which vehicle to
    purchase.
  • Gay males (17%) are more likely than the GLBT population on a whole
    (12%) to listen to satellite radio programming, with the majority of
    these respondents (67%) tuning in to GLBT-specific stations.

End Bttm Discrimination!

AMERICAblog wonders if Jake is being overlooked cause he’s the bottom:
“Heath Ledger has the flashier acting role (he gets to mumble and lash out violently, etc.) but Jake is terrific, too, and I think part of the reason he’s been overlooked is because Jake plays the bottom. I’m not kidding. Any thoughts?”
