Back in the day...or is it that I am just getting old?



I would venture to say that besides easily identifiable porn hunk Paul Barresi (middle row, on right) that at least two other of these models (top picture middle and bottom picture) either did Playgirl photo spreads and or gay porn (usually at the same time).

There was also a very brief time in the pre coming out days that an International Male catalog would send me over the edge until in the afterglow that I realized that no-self respecting man would wear "The Stoker", a fishnet muscle shirt most favored by overweight men who would go to gay dance clubs because they thought it would make them look "hot".

I personally always like guys in the swimsuit cuts shown in the middle photograph.  Covered just enough.  I never understood "board shorts", and I certainly don't understand these fabric slings that European twinks seem so enamored with that cover the genitals and strap around the leg,  Having seen a couple images of these, sent to me by a female cousin - who seems to think that I drool over these sorts of things because Cookie is "GAY" - I really find them a bit disgusting.

She always seems disappointed that I don't squeal with delight when I get them from her, and she also seems to have a hard time with the concept that while its pure fantasy to look at a fit man, in reality, Cookie prefers someone a bit older than I, with a bit or reality on his body.

"What do you mean you deleted them?  My friend Beth, in Thailand, said that men just go ga-ga over these types of guys," says she, implying that the problem is mine, not in her sending me these images of high school graduate twinks.

I point out that 1) I am not, and never will be in Thailand, and 2) Don't understand mankind's obsession with youth.  It isn't as if a fifty year old man will somehow become anymore vital if a bit of ejaculate from a 22 year old guy gets on him.  He may feel flattered, but thats about all.  And in the end, that semen and his feelings of vitality turn to a watery liquid mess.

Don't get me wrong - Cookie can have very twisted fantasies - but skanky (or otherwise) hairless twinks under the age of 25 are never in them.

Me?  I like men.  Always have.   Always will.

  1. I have always been more interested in men my age and not some prepubescent looking ninny.

    1. Young guys can be attractive. But trying to look like you have yet to have your 18th birthday. That's just gross.

  2. I've always been interested in men my own age....even before I was my own age. :)
    Trouble is, they're interested in younger men....or already have found a man their own age.

  4. The International male catalog did quiet a lot for me as a young gay man. As for dating young gay men, don't get me started.

  5. I hear ya on all counts (along with previous commentators), but I nonetheless am aching to see page 23 with its "Persian Rug Buckle Bikini," not to mention the "Ah Men" foam rubber swim cup. Hilarious!!

    I always wanted a "daddy" type and now that I'm 47, I'm attracting the "sons" I never wanted, yet a "daddy" for me now is about close to 70 and that's not in the cards either! I think someone around my age give or take 5 years or so would be optimum.

  6. I for one still enjoy the good ol' days of natural body hair! As a female I detest the norms of manicuring the lawn, it's bad enough dealing with underarms and legs (when I damn well feel like it) add in the hinter regions and forget it. I would imagine gay men feel the same way about waxing and shaving. It's upkeep that offers very little to ME, so what's the point? LOL

    1. I was listening on NPR, and they were interviewing a woman who just wrote a book on the societal acceptance (and in some cases, necessity of shaving) and one of things that she pointed out was that pediatricians are having fits because pubic hair developments is one of the visual cues to what stage a patient is in with regard to puberty. Evidently, even burgeoning teens feel pressure to be rid of it. Sad. Disturbing, too.

  8. I was never a twink. Chicken maybe, but never a twink. I've always liked them older and they've liked me. Now as someone older I still like them older and they still like me. Twinks never give me a nod. Nor can they keep up in the conversation. "Like, like, like...you know what I mean? You know what I mean?" Actually no I don't know what you mean because all you have said is like, like, like and you know what I mean!!!

    I'll still break out a bikini, but a modest square cut is the norm. Too many old queens try to wear bits of string way past their own good taste index and shelf life.

  9. Your fishnet mesh shirt on fat guy comment supports my "inverse spandex law" which states that the likelihood of a person wearing spandex is inversely proportional to their ability to look good in it.
