Mumbai Hunk

I must confess that I’m not into Bollywood movies.
The melodrama is like eating too much sugar to me. The first taste is great, then it just gets way too much to stomach (someone who knows the genre better can give me some recommendations). But they dependably have HOT, beautiful men with amazing moves. I had a tough time trying to decide which photos of John Abraham to post here, as an example of the beautiful men of Bollywood. Watching him step out of the water is stunning. His body… his eyes… simply fantastic.

Personal Wrestlers

Browsing the internet, I came across this ADORABLE personal ad. The poster goes by Bay Wrestler, and the photos are candid shots of the BG East and NHB-Battle wrestler Patrick Donovan. It seems like he mostly gets the crap beat out of him in his wrestling matches, but he is stunning to watch – what an amazing chest! I can’t attest as to whether Bay Wrestler is actually, in fact, the same hottie wrestling under the name Patrick Donovan, but if it’s a fake, someone went to a lot of trouble posting a very charming, extensive personal ad with his photos. If it isn’t him, how disappointing to answer his ad and find someone else waiting for you!


And on the subject of my NOT being a stalker, I stumbled across Mitch Colby’s MySpace profile (Facebook, too) just a few days ago. As I posted
earlier, he’s one of my current favorites in the homoerotic wrestling video genre these days. His MySpace profile includes a lot of pics of him at his bar in Florida, including several with another favorite of mine, Zack Vazquez. What a nice, small virtual world. And just to repeat, I’m NOT stalking (though I suppose that’s what a stalker would say). And I’m hoping not to infringe on any copyrights, here. I just enjoy spreading the word about beautiful men, and all the better when they wrestle!

True Bonus

One of the few downsides of my recent vacation was being out of the country for the beginning of season 2 of True Blood. Season 1 frequently left me breathless. Ryan Kwanten naked in nearly every episode was enough for the cost of an HBO subscription. The rest of the male cast are also gorgeous, including Sam Trammel, Stephen Moyer, and especially Alexander Skarsgård. I finally caught up with the first three episodes of season 2 yesterday, and was thrilled to see that Mehcad Brooks is showing up more frequently and in fewer and fewer clothes. Mehcad is one stunning specimen! I don’t know if I could decide between Ryan and Mehcad, if I were forced to choose between the two hunks (now that’s a nice fantasy!). The casting directors for this show have GOT to get a raise!

Vegan Muscle

For some reason MMA has never been able to hold my attention. Despite the frequent appearance of stunning looking beasts pounding and grinding on one another, the format doesn’t really do it for me. Perhaps it’s the chain-link (I know, not all MMA is caged). Perhaps it’s the board shorts (I know, MMA includes a variety of gear). I think most likely what really loses me is the over-injection of testosterone. It’s the same story told every fight. Whose gonads are pumping hardest, whose over-the-top ego-trip is backed up by more brutality? Somehow, all the ingredients for a turn on are there, but the formula just doesn’t do it for me. Despite this fact, I love that there was a vegan Ultimate Fighter champion. Now there’s a storyline twist that makes me smile. Hot kid, too!

Apropos of Nearly Nothing

This doesn’t have anything to do with wrestling, and I believe Marcus Schenkenberg is straight, but I’m posting this photo in honor of my recently completed European vacation. My tastes in men are pretty varied, but I certainly have a soft-spot for tall, gorgeous, shiny Scandinavians. I came home from vacation to find a few membership requests to the Producer’s Ring, so I’ll be processing those soon (thanks for your patience).

What Turned Me Gay (not really)

I distinctly remember being on a trip as a pre-teen, browsing magazine covers at the airport while the rest of my family amused themselves elsewhere, when I came across an issue of Muscle & Fitness with Bob Paris on the cover. I think this photo, above, may have been the exact photo I remember. I’d never seen anything more beautiful before in my life. It was before Bob came out, so he was mostly known for being a bodybuilder devoted to the aesthetics of the sport rather than the race for brute size. I guiltily bought muscle mags for several years after that (my pre-porn), and was so inspired to follow his coming out story. I assume it was hell for him, and he seemed to drop out of competitive bodybuilding soon after that. But seeing a world class athlete who was openly gay, not to mention drop-dead gorgeous, did my little gay heart good. Glad to see he’s still telling his story and looking beautiful.

Pacifist for Militia

Alex Castro is incredibly sexy in every way. Holy hell. And while American Gladiators isn’t technically wrestling, watching extremely buff, hot men pounding against one another aggressively is certainly the spirit of wrestling. (Wait, I need to catch my breath after writing that last sentence… okay). This interview with him on YouTube through PinkMafia is just adorable. What the hell sexy thing can’t this gorgeous man do? He can pound competitors into the mat (wait, one more moment to myself… okay), he can balance another hot stud on the top of his head (again… okay), and he’s got an incredibly sexy voice, not to mention every inch of his body (this is going to take a minute… okay, I’m back). I predict there will be more and more crossovers between gay porn circles and mainstream media like Alex (aka Elian Cortez). Seriously now, who could complain about seeing more of Alex?

Rasslin’ Art

I’m a huge fan of the blog Rants Roids & Rasslin, which includes original art by John Savage. Savage posts an unfolding web comic of superhero wrestling that is sizzling hot, as well as occasional coverage of indie wrestling and assorted other posts. The blog’s link to the author’s Celebrity Wrestling group took me to my inspiration for my own writing. While I was waiting for a sign-up period for Celebrity Wrestling, I started writing my own homoerotic wrestling fiction. Once I got signed up on Celebrity Wrestling, I found that my imagination took me in some different directions from where Savage takes his storylines. But I highly recommend them, nonetheless. Fun, creative, hot stuff! (By the way, the photo is of model Philip Fusco, looking ready to rumble… he’ll definitely be making an appearance in the Producer’s Ring soon!)

Wrestling Does a Body Good

I think this juicy story of two collegiate wrestlers dropped after they posed for a gay porn site is indicative of the confused state of culture and sexuality these days. Not sure what the future holds for Paul Donahoe, but I hope it’s a future that takes place in a world much more body-positive and much less sex (and homo) negative. I’m not sure which of these two photos is hotter. Good lord, with a body like that, it should be criminal to discourage him from showing it off!
