Russell Tovey's Graphic Gay Sex Scene; 90 Year Old Talks About Being Gay In the 1940s; Ryan Field Books
Russell Tovey's Graphic Gay Sex Scene
Clearly, with the kind of fiction I write I'm no prude. And I've never apologized for that. So I'm glad to see Tovey talking about this up front, and without reservations. The no sex people always seem to get the last word, and they get it in an elitist way. I even see authors bragging about NOT having sex in their books, as if they should get a prize for that. I get tired of listening to them preach and pontificate about sex in books and movies. It's nice...

Hot Sexy Men of Chicago Beaches
I know this is just pure clickbait, but it's Friday and people should have some fun once in a while. Not everyone wants to spend 24 hours a day debating abortion on Twitter. I think most normal people need a break from the social media warriors.
This article is all about beaches in Chicago, and there are photos of hot men on the beach.
As spring turns into summer, this a great time to visit Chicago, and many first-timers are surprised to see all the bea...

New Release: "A Starr Is Born" by Ryan Field; The Erotic 1980 "Cruising" Movie Playset; Ryan Field Books
New Release: "A Starr Is Born" by Ryan Field
I have a new release out this month titled, A Starr Is Born, with Riverdale Ave Books in NYC that's been waiting in the proverbial wings for a couple of months now. And I wanted to explain a few things about it before it goes live.
When the publisher asked me to do this, I didn't hesitate because I've always liked the basic trope of all Star is Born remakes. At the time I wrote this particular book I hadn't seen the newest version with Lady Gaga. I d...

President Johnson's Aide: Walter Jenkins' Gay Scandal In the 60s; Lord of the Rings Author and Same Sex "Intimate Friendship"
President Johnson's Aide: Walter Jenkins' Gay Scandal In the 60s
I enjoy reading biographies when I'm not writing or editing fiction and I came across and interesting story recently in a book by Margaret Truman. It's about one of President Lyndon Johnson's top White House aides, and how he became tangled in a public scandal involving gay sex back in the mid-1960s. It's interesting to see how this was handled back then. Keep in mind that the word "gay" was not even used at that point. Gay men w...

Negatives About Penile Enlargement Procedures; Russell Tovey's Gay Sex Scenes In 'Years and Years'; Mr. Ratburn Is Gay; Ryan Field Books
Negatives About Penile Enlargement Procedures
Here's a piece about why you might not want to rush into getting a penile enlargement procedure any time soon. There's quite a bit of information here that I didn't know.
Some men reported a significant size increase; however, complications were not infrequent, and none of the techniques was externally validated. When provided, counseling was effective, with the majority of men coming to understand that their penis was normal and unwilling to underg...

Germany's Far Right Shuns Milo Yiannopoulos; RIP: Doris Day Actress and Animal Activist Dies; Ryan Field Books
Germany's Far Right Shuns Milo Yiannopoulos
Here's a piece about Milo Yiannopoulos. I've linked to him a few times before, but I really don't know much about him, other than what I've read in articles or seen in social media. I've never been totally sure about whether he's been branding himself as an entertainer or a political pundit.
AfD had invited Yiannopoulos to speak to them and other elected officials on a panel about blogging held at the German Parliament. But then guess w...

Arrests At Cuba Gay Pride; Chechnya Resumes 'Torture and Humiliation' of Gay Men; The Gay Old Days In the East Village
Arrests At Cuba Gay Pride
There was an unauthorized Pride march in Cuba and as a result gay activists were arrested. From what I gather, this year's regular Pride march was cancelled by the government, so people decided to hold their own Pride march without permission. That's something you don't do in a communist country.
After setting out on Havana's Paseo del Prado, one of the city's main boulevards, the marchers came up against a large number of police and state security forces.

Gay Hollywood: The Story of William Haines; Gay Dating Advice For Younger Self; Controversial Make Up For Men
Gay Hollywood: The Story of Openly Gay William Haines
There is still a good deal of this sort of thing going on in Hollywood. But the story of William Haines is different because he was openly gay during a time when no one would have even thought of doing that. And I use the word gay just for clarity here. Up until the 1970s the word gay had only one meaning and it had nothing to do with same sex relationships. The only word that wasn't a pejorative to describe men like Haines was homosexual.

Generic Truvada In 2020; The New Lavender Scare Bill; What Is Alternative Media
Generic Truvada In 2020
With so many on the PrEP regimen now, it's good to see this happening.
Exciting news in the fight against HIV/AIDS: drug manufacturer Gilead has announced it will release its patent on the anti-HIV drug Truvada a year early.
Here's a link where it goes into a lot more detail. The comments are mixed and I'm never totally sure why so many gay men would be against PrEP. So far it's the best scientific alternative there is. That's basic common sense.
