Forgot to mention Zeb from Corbin Fisher. I'd pay him 500 just to stare at me with those eyes. Too bad he's now a successful businessmen, is married to a woman, and has two kids (who are super adorable!). I wish him the best in life.

Just for the record: Johnny Castle has been around for a VERY long time, and I've never seen anything beyond solo videos of him. so methinks male-male interraction is off the charts. He's done multiple straight videos [or at least 1 that I cn think of off the top of my head].

Former: Michael Parks
 
Current: Tristan Baldwin

Well let me know what street corner you'll be on cause i have an unlimited Metrocard....

Just left what was supposed to be a 2-hour appointment with Andres; I can see how he could elicit the wide range of impressions above.
Review in progress.

I just shot this one yesterday. In full disclosure, I don't think my ass is one of my better features, but others seem to enjoy it.

Headlines like this one are funny: Mark Salling's Friend Shocked by His Child Pornography Arrest
 
As opposed to what? "Stalling's friend: That figures."

Yes, indeed I do! I hired him late one night at the spur of the moment in Palm Springs about a year ago, and he changed my life. This guy is phenomenal. He treated me to a night of passion I did not think I was still capable of experiencing. He is one sexy dude and a super nice guy--smart, educated, considerate, non-judgemental, affectionate and highly skilled. He is very masculine, good looking and has all the right equipment. We passed out in each other's arms, and I almost cried the next morning when he left--thought I was in love. Very few people have ever affected me that way. I reviewed him on Rentmen, but they have deleted all their text reviews. Hope this helps.

Tristan, thanks for the kind words. I didn't eat at market restaurants, but I'm told the food is very good and cheaper than restaurants with waiters. I'm glad you like it hot because Singapore delivers!
 
I'm now in Siem Reap in Cambodia with 4 friends to visit Angkor Wat and the other temples here. It's terrific and much cheaper than Singapore.

John Waters once said We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.

I'd like to think he'd approve of this thread.

Gene, the film based on the book, unsurprisingly called "The Hedgehog" was terrific as well. It's in French, with subtitles. Well worth seeing.

I'm absolutely in love with this thread. You guys have (unfortunately) given me a ton of new books to pick up.
 
I mainly flirt in scifi/fantasy and most of my favorite books are by more recent authors but I need to pick up more complex writing to help with my own.
 
Oddly enough, my favorite book of all time has not a hint of scifi to it. It's The Elegance of the Hedgehog and I fully recommend picking it up. It's a very bittersweet novel about a parisian apartmenthe concierge who hides her cleverness from the world for fear of rejection and the girl genius she befriends who feels like she's reached her intellectual peak and has resolved to end her life before it all goes downhill. It's a great read and not as maudlin as it sounds.

Currently I'm reading Kings Rising, the conclusion to a trilogy by CS Pacat. Set in a fantasy world, sort of like Game of Thrones. Lots of intrigue and skulduggery and m/m sex. Love it!
I'm also reading on my kindle Afterglow (upending Tad: A journey of erotic discovery Book 6). Sexy and funny and lots of m/m sex. Love it!
Sitting on my bedside table waiting to be read are A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James (2015 Booker prize winner), The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro and The New York Nobody Knows by William B Helmreich. The way my interest seems to be going, New York is going to remain a closed book to me.

I don't know whether this is funny or scary spooky.

Well, I thought the whole thing sounded kinda lame but I had a little time on my hands so I created a profile. I can't say I found much in the first few days: twinks, fakes, flakes, the usual assortment of game players. Then I met a guy who is an aspiring fitness model based in Toronto. I took a leap of faith and flew him to New York. Well, we just spent the better part of the past 10 days at my place in CT. It was amazing. He's 23, ripped, beautiful, and for this initially visit all he wanted was his airfare and other expenses covered.
 
So, perhaps, it's not a bad site after all. It was worth the $70 initial fee.

To answer the question:
 
There's general gay fiction that skews literary with mostly unhappy endings and not a lot of on-page sex and then there's gay or m/m romance wth happy endings (both kinds) and a predominance of on-page sex. I've read more of the latter and tend to prefer it if for no other reason than symbolism: see, queer people can have and are deserving of love and happiness, too. That's still something of a fucking revolutionary message and is part of the reason I prefer to read female writers. They're committed to the happy ending. So far, too many of the male writers I read seem defensive or brittle or write in an unadorned Hemingway-influenced style that gets boring after awhile.
 
That said, here's a smattering of both, starting with cismale gay men:
 
Tales of the City and sequels, Armistead Maupin
Boystown and other books by Marshall Thornton
Afflicted, Brandon Shire
Victor J. Banis, who wrote a lot of pulp of varying quality back in the day
Jeff Earno (don't remember titles)
Anything by Eric Arvin
Wade Kelly
 
Of literary novels, I tried reading Alan Hollinghurst's The Swimming Pool Library but didn't like it well enough to finish.
 
There are other men like Rick Reed, TJ Klune, Sean Michaels and Damon Suede who write genre but whose books I haven't read. (I read a sample of Suede's Hot Head and decided not to buy the book; Klune was accused of plagiarizing his first novel from a movie, fwiw.)
 
Women:
 
Jordan Castillo Price, my favorite gay romance/fiction author. The first couple of books in her best-known work, the Psycops series, are weaker because they're among her first pro novels. (She started out writing fanfiction.) But the rest of the series doesn't nake sense without them.
K.A. Mitchell - don't read if you don't like reading explicit sex; however, her books are far from stroke fiction.
Amy Lane - queen of angst. For me, the quality of her books varies, but Chase in Shadow, whose depiction of how gay porn is made may be as fictional as all depictions of sex work in romance novels (for one thing, the performers all live in the same geographic area), is one of the most emotionally intense books I've ever read. There are others I like too.
Harper Fox
J.L. Merrow
P.D. Singer
Josh Lanyon (quality varies, but the best books are among the best in the genre. I'm not as fond of the Adrien English series as everyone else is.)
Kaje Harper
Heidi Cullinan, although I find her ambition/good intent often exceeds her reach.
Tamara Allen (historical, no explicit sex).
 
Ouside the romance genre, I recommend Cecilia Tan's coming of age series about an 80s rock musician, Daron's Guitar Chronicles. This also has no explicit sex, which is weird, because Tan mostly writes m/f erotica and erotic romance.
 
Litfic/gay fiction: Anything by Mary Renault, herself a lesbian. I've only read The Charioteer. That Renault is welcome and is thought of as an icon of gay fiction (just as Radclyffe is an icon of lesbian fiction for and by lesbians) whereas later female writers are not welcome says something.
 
The ladies write about group and multiple sex (there's a subgenre called menage that is mfm (no sexual contact between the men) or mmf (sexual contact between everyone)). While most books end with a committed couple or trio without suggesting that other people might be welcome to join in on occasion, that's as much a function of a desire for narrative finality as an adherence to monogamous norms. The sex in their books is sometimes awkward but is mostly joyous and transformative. There is less of a disconnect between the physical and the emotional than I see in books written by men. (Also true in the mystery genre in my experience.)
 
Also see these posts in the Book Forum? thread. I particularly recommend Joseph Hansen (excellent writer, interesting and well put together mysteries) and Richard Stevenson (laugh out loud funny and more sexual content than is the norm without being anything like a stroke book).

NY, I share your shame I've read the CS Pacat books and look forward to the third coming out in February. I like series and recommend Kora Knight's Upending Tad books (6 volumes), funny, romantic and hot, and KJ Charles A Charm of Magpies series. Not sure how many volumes, but fantasy based. And hot!
I was initially skeptical as these types of books seem to be written mostly by woman, but if they want to write dirty, why not? I just wish my prostate was as magical as the prostates of their characters are!
