I'm thinking he must not have much of a butt.

In fact he probably wears the cape for the same reason some women wear caftans: hiding his figure flaw.

Look, even Superboy gets a butt-shot, but Superman doesn't!

Zack Snyder. Cute face, decent arms.

I'd check out his butt. Totally.

The guy in the middle looks reasonable. (Can't tell much about the one on the left.)

I wish I could find other reasonable-looking, over age 45 men in Speedos. I'd feel encouraged that way.

And indeed there will be time

To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"

(courtesy of T. S. Eliot, with slight emendation)

I do agree with this in that I would wonder later if I should have dared.

I'd rather have dared and learned

than not-dared and caused myself to wonder later.

Thanks, Charlie.

Let's be honest. No one we've been discussing here or what we've been talking about here is wearing speedos for "swimming." LOL.

Yup.

All over the map, these responses. Wow!

Yes, fans, that it the question.

How does a man know whether to wear one after age 50? Is there a pair of calipers I can buy to measure something?

A wall chart I can stand up against to see if my butt is bulbous enough?

Or will I have to stand under a harsh light and under the glare of one of those queens who thinks she knows who should do what and when, and wait for a verdict?

I can't believe I nailed them all, by myself!

I forgot that when he's wearing a hairpiece (as he did in OFFICE SPACE) or if you look at him in just the right way, Mike Judge is pretty hot.

(The man is probably nearly seventy and he says "Please. Call me 'Billy.'")

Not actors who moonlighted every so often as directors. Too easy.

Probably the man to beat: Michael Crichton

Roman Polanski was kinda cute in certain moments (not the one below, much)

Oh my goodness but I like this.

The Red and the Black by Stendhal...a great read that has my current attention.

I've got the Norton Critical Edition. I'm looking forward to it.

Meanwhile, man picks up someone outside and, while they're having sex, keeps seeing his boy's face.

I remember this part. And the man blinks and shakes his head, a gesture from the silent movie handbook, under how to register disbelief.

Recently:

I'm struggling through Fielding's "Tom Jones".

And "Going Solo : The Extraordinary Rise And Surprising Appeal Of Living Alone" (not struggling at it)

Just finished "The Verse by the Side of the Road" (story of the Burma Shave signs), and the Spoto bio of Joan Crawford (not very good, I thought).

I don't know what happens after that, as I've usually shot my wad by that point.

 

Kevin Slater

Melted mozzarella really does it for you, huh?

My favorite porn vignette is in Pizza Boy: He Delivers, where the supposed delivery guy picks up the pizza box, turns it on its side and tucks it under his arm.

Kevin Slater

Love it!

This one made me laugh.

****

The camera starts in tight on a butthole. The owner of the butthole ("Bo Summers"?) is stroking his hole, his legs high up in the air, laying back on a couch.

Another man is in the room, the owner's friend.

"When are you going to let me have some of that ass?" the other man says, eagerly.

Bo puts his legs down quickly, and starts to pull his pants up.

He says, sounding annoyed,

"I can't let you fuck me! IT WOULD COMPLICATE OUR FRIENDSHIP!!"

Goofus: [When the other person is anxious or worried about something] Hey, just RELAX, okay???

Gallant: Don't worry; it'll be okay. Here, I'll show you why.

Trent Reed

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2111/2440150964_9f8ac99fc9.jpg

is seen in grubby clothes, opening a pizza box he got out of a trash can. When the homeowner confronts him, Trent says he hasn't eaten in days. The homeowner is sympathetic, so he lets Trent in for a shower.

While Trent is lathering up, the homeowner spies on him.

Trent, who has no apartment or home of his own, has clearly been sleeping on a tanning bed wearing only a thong.

Poor guy!

So now tell us some of the sillier porn plot points YOU'VE seen.

I remember someone saying in college that he thought Libras were ALWAYS gay.

 

Well, they aren't always, I think, but maybe more than most.

 

Have you heard this?

So NOBODY has ever heard the idea that male Libras are very often gay?

I could have sworn I'd heard it a common "concept".

That muppet picture is adorable - almost as adorable as my avatar!

I will say one thing - as much as I enjoyed him in HOP, he was waaaaaay too old for that role.

...I still think he's dreamy.

I remember loving how gamely he "danced" in HAIRSPRAY, giving it the old college try!

It's a really good movie from the 90s about the artist Francis Bacon. I believe it's called Love Is The Devil.

That's the title.
