The oil check (or the butt drag)!!   Of all wrestling moves, this is by far the most controversial. These are very rare, and if they do occur, are met with severe consequences. These are REALLY frowned upon. Basically, when your opponent is on his knee or knees, it’s sticking your finger(s) up your opponent’s butt. Doing this will flatten him out quick. (The sneaky way some wresters get around this is taking the flat end of your hand just under your opponent’s balls. The jolt/shock may be enough to catch him off guard and lock him down.) 

Yes indeed!!  Cross-face cradles are also fun to watch!

I am happy to have learned that size does NOT matter. when your guy is sweet, loving, passionate, beautiful and a great kisser, that’s all that matters...

I just finished an M/M Romance, "Something Wild and Wonderful" by Anita Kelly (2023).  I've read dozens of M/M romances, and I can't remember another where I enjoyed both the main characters and the story as much as I did in this one.  The book is, ultimately, about journeys.  It is about two gay guys who meet while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, which physical journey is both the armature for the plot and a metaphor for both the individual journeys of self-evaluation, self-discovery, self-realization, and self-repair the two men are each on and the emotional journey that their romance becomes.  Yes, this is very much a slow burn, and yes, as in most of these books, they eventually hit a crisis, and yes there is an HEA ending.  But the two characters are drawn in such wonderful, even emotive detail that you are barely conscious of the tropes.  By the end of the book, you know them so well, and like both them and their relationship so much, that you are left with a powerful desire for a sequel, which, alas, is not available.  But you are also left with two of the sweetest gay characters you've ever met and one of the most sensitively portrayed gay romances you can find in this fiction genre.

You can find the blurb at the Amazon and Barnes and Noble links, and there are customer reviews there, too.
Here's a review that captures a lot of why I enjoyed it so much (and you can also read the generally gushing reviews at goodreads):

A very interesting read I found. 
'Bad Gays: A Homosexual History'
By Huw Lemmey & Ben Miller
 
An unconventional history of homosexuality for readers of The Deviant's War by Eric Cervini
We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveal more than we might expect? Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but, as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and dastardly deeds have been overlooked.  
Based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ+ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to anthropologist Margaret Mead and notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives. This includes kings, fascist thugs such as Nazi founder Ernst Rohm, artists, and debauched bon viveurs.
Hadrian * Aretino * James I and VI * Frederick the Great * Jack Saul * Roger Casement * Lawrence of Arabia * The Bad Gays of Weimar * Margaret Mead * J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn * Yukio Mishima * Philip Johnson * Ronnie Kray * Pim Fortuyn
Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.
Bad Gays is a passionate argument for rethinking gay politics beyond questions of identity and the search for solidarity across boundaries.

The spladle!!! I’ve done a few of these. 😜Often considered the most embarrassing and humiliating position to lock your opponent in (for obvious reasons) because it exposes their vulnerability and lack of control in the match. 

But it makes for great slo-mo playbacks if you record the televised match.😋
