Dawww! What kind of dog is that?
I don't know. My Xbox is dead and I can't transfer my ME1+2 character over to the PS3 version of 3.

Yes you can.
Cerberus Network comic + making Shepard look the game.
Run through on casual making the same choices you did on 360.
BOOM.

Spam from Andrew Christian in my inbox is ridiculous (they literally send like three emails a day) but getting videos of Ryan Moore and Jason Medina in their underwear before I go to school in the early morning makes it all worth while.

Oh, my sweet Cthulu. I'll take the Brandon Howell guy. Yum.
What don't you see every 5 minutes? I've become so desensitized to it all. All I see is flesh, no different from the one before it.
And a prude to boot!

So very true.
So are you saying you don't like that body type (sacre bleu!) or are you just bored of seeing that kind of body in, like, all media for gay men?
And SpiffyG, you're saying you're "desensitized" like it's a bad thing. It's not weird to not be turned on by that GIF.
Thanks, you're too kind. =) I'm a fan of small nips myself, but I'll work with what I'm given.
Unfortunately, I'm a bit lopsided, as I have only one of 'em pierced.
Y'know, if I were you, I'd just roll with it and see what happens. NSA fun can be really good with an ex or former fling. You know each other already, you've already established that you gave the relationship a shot, and you know there's a physical attraction. I think you'll have a pretty good idea of what he expects out of this encounter before you get down 'n dirty. Let us know how it went.

I think its both. The typical image of a young, hairless, cleanshaven, spiky haired, semi-muscly, dude is so prevalent in gay media/ads/porn that it really does all start to look the same.

Hey woody, pan that camera more to the left kay?
I wasn't speaking specifically about that picture. I meant that I'm generally desensitized towards flesh and sex. Maybe I'm becoming asexual. That would make life a bit easier to be honest.

Couldn't agree more.
I don't see what's so unbelievable with not liking that body type - the guy at 1.47 looks like he's wearing some kind of Stretch Armstrong body suit, afaic.
But. . . but I thought it was the ideal. My world! It's been shaken!
Does this mean I can start eating carbs now?
But, absolutely seriously though, it's not unbelievable at all, and it's a great thing that people want something different and more honest in the media that's supposed to be representing or making money off them. People come in many different shapes, sizes, and lines, and that's only a beautiful thing. I even get annoyed when people who don't have "the look" get labeled in some weird way, like they're too "different" or something.
But as much as I'd like casting to reflect real life
(maybe not in my underwear models, but just in general)
Then we'd lose his face. I think the real solution is a wider shot ;-).
A drastically lower libido than what you had before might be something you want to talk to your doctor about. But, in general, I get where you're coming from. The naked flesh is as mundane and natural as any other state human beings find themselves in, after all.

I take a beefy guy with a little gut over some super chiseled cut dude any day.
For me, it's not so much even the body type. I don't mind oogling a guy who's in shape. It's when you have waves of these interchangeable guys who don't really have a unique features that gets me. The east coast gay scene is almost exclusively into the tan, lean-muscle, spiky hair "The Situation" type right now. It gets old fast.
I tend to gravitate towards guys with unique features, lately. Like this gent, for example:
Those lips, hawk eyes, thick eyebrows and skin tone...mmph. This man is just interesting to look at, besides being breathtakingly beautiful.

Indeed. (Sorry, my response was in part engendered by me reading your post through a quote, and thus not seeing that you wrote "sacrebleu!" in italics, and thus ironically. : P)
What also annoyed me about the video was the way that it at least slightly supported gay stereotypes.

Love guys with unique features too. Im a sucker for guys with "wide noses" for example. Or chubby cheeks.
Uh... what?
At least where I'm from, everyone either wants absurdly young looking twinks or lifeguard ottermode-types; blonde hair and blue eyes are a must, maybe a slight tan. The spikey hair is -not- considered an attractive trait in my group of gay friends, or any gays I know around here; most would just think it was douchey.
I have no clue where this is coming from. Maybe it's one specific club scene, but I really rarely see gay dudes trying to make themselves look like The Situation.
I suppose the gay scene here (western MA) seems to be longing after an idealized California, circa 2003.
Of course I don't have an official survey or anything, but in most of the clubs I've frequented between here (Philly) and New York, the vast majority of the club "workers" fit the "The Situation" mold.
NY club scene makes a little more sense. Kind of a shame, I -really- don't like that type of guy. Gimme skinny gingers in v-necks any day~

I believe how it works is everyone in your area wants something you aren't.
It always feels like guys in OKC want slim/twinky guys, and aren't into more muscular guys (lean or beefy). But it's probably more me not finding much worth pursuing.
I had a ton of luck in NYC.

What's your type?

*cough* >.>
And I'm totally okay with muscle. I am in -no way- a top and I like a guy to be stronger than me; I box, so most guys my own size won't even come close. Just.... I duno, too much muscle has never been too aesthetically pleasing to me.

I'm gonna guess beefy jock.
Eh, it's not drastically lower. I've never been a horn dog. I've always felt like an outsider at predominantly gay parties, since my mind processes other thoughts besides sex.
Exactly. The human body, for me, has lost all of its mystique. Is your dick really that much different from my own, or the ones I've seen? Uhh... No.
I kind of want to marry someone who will turn into Matt Berry when they're 40. But only if they can do the voice.

That's a bichon maltese! But ignore the "pretty" style of it, my sister likes him more with the puppy-cut (I agree). He's a sweetheart, but he's lazy and never wants to go for walks!
Oh! But I did these with the 3DS camera and submitting the MPO files to 3dporch.com ! I once tried doing stop motion with a normal camera. That was a total nightmare. ):
And regarding the whole lean, muscled and young guys. I personally don't care if they're in the media, but it annoys me when people like mother defines that it's "a gay type". Mostly because both my boyfriend like more of a bear type (but sadly, we're not ;___;/). Can't blame her though, just look at TV shows (both American and Spanish ones), it sometimes feels taboo to even like men with a nice belly and hair everywhere!

How often do you watch porn?
Rarely. Can't even remember the last time I watched a porn video. It was LONG time ago, though.
Honestly, I don't think I have ever [actually] liked watching people having sex.
Edit: Watched that Youtube video. Felt absolutely nothing. The only guy whose face I liked was Richie Nuzzolesse.

Oooh, the star of those videos has a name now: Ryan Moore. Sexy!
I'm already finding these videos annoying though.

Ah. I was only asking because of the apparent correlation of porn-watching and the libido. You do enjoy having sex though, right? I have to admit, I do of the porn from time to time.
Haha, me too.
Though in the case of porn, I have to be really..really in the mood; otherwise I watch it as I was watching some comedy or something. Can't stop laughing at the over-acting, bad acting, weird/funny faces, the exaggerated ehrm.. ***shots.. XD

Errr, I hope you didn't think I was making a jab at you. I simply mean it's always a "grass is greener" kinda issue. A lot of people I've spoken with feel like the guys in their area want something that they aren't or can't offer.
Hah, actually I'm pretty broad in my physical interests, not really tied to one specific type. They just have to look like they're fit or athletic to some degree. So this is can be you leaner ripped guys, muscular ripped guys, beefy muscular, and sometimes even bodybuilder types. I tend to not be into people on the extreme (obese/skinny).
If I really had to pick one type though, it'd be muscular (bigger than the guys in that gif earlier) and lean/ripped. Someone my size or a bit bigger.
Hmmmm.... maybe all of these types can just be lumped under "jock". Hah.
I did think it was a subtle jab, yeah.... It's just that I was describing myself in the "what guys in your area are looking for" thing, and I wanted to point that out without sounding like an arrogant cocker.
Then I realized that's impossible, so I coughed instead.
I guess I'm an arrogant cocker.

Yeah and I was saying that someone like me, who looks drastically different from you, had great luck in NY and a lot of other places. Just saying I think it's more to it than people wanting a specific type in an area.
I might have shit luck in NY, you never know
Western Mass really is completely convinced it's in California a decade ago; there's a pacsun in every mall here, and some in the middle of nowhere just because >.>And of course there's more to it than different people in different areas wanting different things - everyone -everywhere- wants a nice set of abs
