World AIDS Day

Copenhagen

December 1, 2007

World AIDS Day is December 1st every year, and no one shows their solidarity and fight for the cause like the great Danes. Peaceful demonstrations, free condoms, marches, benefit parties, and memorial ceremonies decorate the town as the city commemorates the international day of action against HIV and AIDS. http://www.aidsfondet.dk/

Catacombs

Rome

December 7-14, 2007

For five years and counting, the Leather Club Roma hosts the hottest leather-fetish event in Italy, grimly titled Catacombs. What happens when you take Folsom Street Fair and relocate it to one of Europe’s most beautiful cities (filled with some of the world’s most beautiful men)? Apparently you get seven days of bull whips, ball gags, and nonstop sex. “Perhaps the crown jewel of the theme parties, spread throughout the long weekend, is the Black Leather Uniform Fans party. Strict dress codes apply: black leather only.” Wearing a uniform never felt so freeing. http://www.lcroma.com/catacombs.htm

Barresi Switch-Hits on Cruise Gay Rumors

CS-CruiseBarresiLgThumb.jpg

Porn director-turned- private investigator Paul Barresi
claims that he’s found no evidence of Tom Cruise’s rumored homosexuality, despite
the connection to Scientology, a gay vague haircut and a seemingly endless
stream of court-challenged claims by former lovers, according to In Touch Weekly. “Everything I’ve
found and everything I know points to Tom being heterosexual,” Paul told
the magazine.  Oddly, it was only a year ago that Barresi was in the
opposite situation – facing legal threats from Cruise’s celebrity legal
eagle, Bert Fields, to remove a claim by Barresi that he had found evidence of the star’s sexcapades with a West Hollywood escort.

The Decrying of Lott’s 69

TrentLottNicholasTHUMB.jpg

We have no interest at the moment in confirming the validity of Today’s Most Popular Gay Rumor Involving a Possibly Closeted Congressional Republican, and would prefer simply to revel in the delicious, drama-promising, unconfirmed glory of it all. The blog BigHeadDC attempted to break the story yesterday, following Trent Lott’s abrupt resignation announcement and based on some truly slippery email correspondence with obviously attention-loving gay escort-cum-blogger Benjamin Nicholas. The rumor has already been denounced by the HuffPo, spat upon by Wonkette, re-attributed to Gawker and slipperily denied by Nicholas himself, but that doesn’t make it untrue (as Dan Savage has been quick to note).

Boxcover of the Week: The Cockfather

CockfatherThumb.jpg

The Cockfather (Private DVD, 2005) – Talk about an offer we can’t refuse. Sometimes we come across a title so ready-made for porn parody that we can’t believe we haven’t seen it before. The Cockfather? We give props to Man-Size for pouncing on the obvious. Sure, the costumes are more Dick Tracy than The Godfather, but since Al Pacino starred in both, we’ll let it pass. Of course, someone should tell Big Smoker that the fuschia lip stain is clashing with his Crayola-red zoot suit and it kind of femmes up his whole gangster motif.  And the phallic imagery of a marionette cross? Subtle.

Separated at Birth? Atlantis Cruises v. RSVP Vacations

AtlantsvRSVPTHUMB.jpg

When RSVP Vacations, the other gay cruise company, got sold to Atlantis Events this past fall, fans of the gay cruise experience blogged and commented on the demise of RSVP and how this consolidation will affect their sarong party plans on next year’s Caribbean Fantasy. We didn’t have the stomach to go on one ourselves, but we did spend a good chunk of one afternoon poking fun at nauseating YouTube photo montages and gouge-your-eyes-out horrific and suicide-grade-boring photo sets of both. While we’ve been told repeatedly that Atlantis was the floating
bathhouse and RSVP was the queeny piano-bar-on-the-sea, we didn’t see
much difference in the people we talked to.

Worst Products: Ese on Down the Road, Anal Edition

AnalEseRoundedTHUMB.jpg

What flavored balm goes on smooth and keeps the mustiest puckers fresh as a teenager? If you answered Anal-Ese, well, son, you’re one hell of a
professional. Today as part of our Worst Products Marketed to the Gays series, we feature this desensitizing agent long used on porn sets to keep the loosest goose from squealing after a three-hour Arpad-Miklos pounding. Generally, the benzocaine confection has been marketed to women trying to get over the hump, so to speak. As gays scoop up more products marketed to women (Special K, Juicy Couture, Enchanted), it gets harder to believe that any woman (or alternately, the man who wants to pop her in the pooper) is gonna care that her thumping hole is flavored like a maraschino. Of course, we’re not really sure that a guy who’s numbing himself for a three-day party is at the top of our menu, either… but we digress.

It made for a great appetite suppressant though: OMG NEW DIET CRAZE?????????

Judge a Porn By Its Cover!

They say that you should never judge a book by its cover. They’re totally wrong. Bad marketing is always something that should be judged, harshly in our opinion, while awesome covers deserve unmitigated praise, attention, and preference. “Why buy something that will look ugly on your bookshelf?”  The same is true in gay porn packaging. With the wealth of outstanding imagery that pornographers have to design graphics around, it’s a marvel that some studios pump out nothing but ugly video boxes. Sifting through the newest additions to NakedSword 4.0, we couldn’t help but be amused by some of the porn boxcovers that we came across and impressed by their sheer artistic value. After the jump, check out some of the prettiest pornos that NS has to offer, and also feel free to check out our follow-up: The Don’ts.

When Michael Lucas labeled Raging Stallion “snitches” last week, claiming they had inspired and furthered the legal troubles that arose after Lucas released Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita, it was the shot across the bow in what could be a larger legal battle between the two. Meanwhile, the Fellini Estate, assisted or unassisted by Raging

Sexing Up Your Second Life Avatar

(Allegedly) Banned MTV Condom Ad

MTVAdTHUMB.jpg

This commercial, dating from early 2007, either aired or did not air on MTV (we can’t tell), and either was or was not banned, but has lately been making the rounds on the YouTubes. It’s like a brain teaser! Our particular favorite image: the rooster (cock) walking by the dirty pirate named Sanchez, wearing a piece of diamond jewelry (ring).
