Metrosexmania: How America Lost Its Mind Over Metrosexuality

By Mark Simpson (Originally appeared in Out magazine, October 2017) The US had a national nervous breakdown over male beauty in the early noughties. It seems ridiculous now – and actually it was fairly ridiculous at the time – but it’s simply an objective fact that the US went completely fucking berserk over the […]

Andreassean’s Bare Ass Footie Strip(Tease)

Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely no longer the only spornosexual in the football village. Aleksander Melgalvis Andreassean, 28, ‘shredded’ defender for Norwegian soccer team Lillestrom, seems to be after the Portuguese striker’s exhibitionist crown. Earlier this week he achieved global fame by giving a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘football strip’ when he got starkers […]

‘INSIDE THE SORDID PORN SCANDAL THAT’S ROCKING THE ARMY’

That was the salacious front-page block-capitals headline the (now defunct) heavily-fragranced men’s magazine Details gave my exclusive ‘undercover’ story for them in May 2006. I was reporting on the globally-covered scandal involving US soldiers from the elite 81st Airborne being courts-martialed for appearing in gay porn – from inside, so to speak, a US Army paratrooper at […]

Thor Ragnarok is Cosmically Camp

Thor Ragnarok was quite the campest film I can recall seeing. At least that is since Guardians Of The Galaxy (not the second one, which was just dire). Basically it’s a cinematic version of this norty lollipop: ‘With real fruit taste’. Thor is essentially a very dull, earnest, ponderous character – especially with Hemsworth’s ‘Norwegian’ […]

In Defence of Male Tartiness (Again)

Mark Simpson on how metrosexuality is now part of masculinity’s ‘gayish DNA’ The lights have gone off at Instagram and YouTube. Men’s Health has folded.

Gayspotting & the Gaga Doctrine

Mark Simpson feels the gay bumps and lumps that betray the ‘gay brain’ Everyone loves Spotting The Gay. It’s a fun game the whole family can play. Scientists seem to love it too. There have been a number of studies in the last decade or so that claim to demonstrate that ‘gaydar’ – the name […]

Jeff Stryker Gets Smarter (& Even More Shredded)
You like that, don’tcha? I can only assume that Pietro Boselli is getting career advice from an older homosexual. Which makes me very jealous. Pro sporno or no, Pietro is far too young and far too cherubic to know who Jeff Stryker is, or the ridiculously butch way he used to talk on the classic […]
