What The Heck!

Because I love y'all so much, I've decided to give you not one, but six "Good Monday Morning Men." Call it my gift to you to get through the day.

Thanks for continually checking in on your boy Ian. I don't know what you're going through, don't know your struggles this week, but I pray that the Creator will be with you each step of the way. I hope that your new work week will bestow good challenges upon you. Challenges not to tear you down, but to uplift, edify, and to strengthen; to steal your spirits in these difficult times.

God Bless my brothers and sisters. Stay vigilant....
-Ian

So What's Accpetable?

Was rummaging through files on the hard drive, came across this clip of one of Oscar de la Hoya's weigh-ins. Now supposedly, you can see his junk in this clip, but you know I never noticed it before. Oscar always struck me as a weird cookie. There was that kinky business a year or so back with those photos of Oscar him dressed up in fish nets and a wig. Ole boy said it wasn't him, but yeah Oscar, we all know you got a li'l freak in you. it's alright. Admit it. You wouldn't be the first, sho nuff won't be the last.

We all have our little fetishes, don't we? Some behaviors we can admit to, others we keep outta sight, hidden from our closest associates. Then again, some folk just let it all hang out....Ah, but hell no. There are some things done in the dark, that need to stay in the dark, right? Believe me, I'm not confessing to A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G, but well, you know...

So what's so unusual about fetishes? According to Freud, Kinsey, Masters & Johnson, et al. fetishes are a normal functioning of sexual expression and behavior. Within reason, fetishes are normal. If you like to dress up in women's clothes, or have a certain predisposition for collecting mens' underwear (hopeful clean ones, let's not be too nasty), or a preoccupation with big ole booty and body parts, well there's nothin' wrong with that. Really? So, Oscar dressing up is no big deal?

Don' know all about that. Some stuff is beyond me! Had a boyfriend eons back who was into feet. Ewww! No! I can barely stand to touch my own feet, let alone someone else's peds. Home boy would wanna incorporate foot play during sex. Uh-un. That's some kinky shit I don't get into. No shape or form. Keep your skanky feet to yo'sef please.

Suppose there are worse sexual gratification behaviors. No one's EVAH asked me to put my fist in places a it don't belong or had a desire for either of us to become one's personal toilet. That's just nasty! N-A-S-T-Y. Nasty. Call me immature, but at almost 40, I long ago abandoned the notion urinating or defecating on myself as an option...like 38 years ago!!!!

Ian's Inquiry: What sexual behavior are you absolutely intolerant of? What would be your deal-breaker?

Where Da Hell You Put Mah Pants???

Ah yes. It's been awhile since I posted some naked men on the blog. I'm pulling out all the stops before the New Year starts. Let's see what goodies I can find on my computer to post tonight.

Alas, none of these men were around my Christmas Tree this year. Still I can dream, can't I? Before the Holidays are over, I'll have write a piece on my fantasy Christmas.

My weekend is good so far. I caught up on sleep yesterday from being under the weather. Later this evening I'm headed over to Queen Hester's for dinner and a movie. I'm grateful for her help these last few months because there days I don't think I woulda made it if it weren't for my friends this year.

I wish I had some sagely, inspirational words to accompany my pictorial post, but words fail me right now. My brain is all befuddled still from my little bug I caught.

Leoban, a regular reader of the Axe, questions why I post so much eye candy. He feels I'm sublimating my true desires into posting all these hunky men I probably will never have. Perhaps he's onto something, but hey, this blog is about me! I post what I want. At least I do put intuitive thoughts on the Internet and not just regurgitated pornography. I put artistic representations of the nudes and photos I find on the 'Net. I made a promise when I first started I would never post graphic sexual acts, erect penises, or vagina's wide open, or the like, on my blog. I have no problem with those things, but again, the Axe is my blog of journey and discovery, not an excuse to be pornographic. I may be many things, but perverted isn't one.

And yet, have I been over the top with my male nude posts? I've been good with the women I post. To be honest, I'm floating in the 85% homo/15% hetero scale these days and am not interested in posting too many women, clothed or unclothed. I release the "Inner Queer" trapped, and still upon occasion, for far too long.

This last year really has allowed me to be more open with myself and attempt to further be at ease, not just sexually speaking, but emotionally speaking as well. By thrusting my demons out there for everyone to see, I allow myself to become greater than I have been.

Whatever you think of my blog, I hope there's some aspect you find insightful, amusing, pleasurable, intriguing, or entertaining. It has been a wonderful experience this last year for me...

Arena Of Celebrity (Part II)

Arena Of Celebrity (Part 1)

Oh we got yer full frontals folks! Soap Stars. Movie Stars! Former Athletes! Current Athletes! And even a current Doctor (Who)! Just another indulgence in the Famous Male Monday Posts

WTF?!?!

OK, this is just weird. Why is F-list celebrity, Vanilla Ice, standing with 2 naked men? Don't remember this from The Surreal Life he participated in a few years back. WTF!?!?!?!?

Separating Men From The Boys

Separating Men from the Boys. There's nothing to be sorry about it. Contrary to the misconception all men are created equal, believe we're not. No I'm not talking about the size of a man's penis. Who really cares as long as it does what it's supposed to do????

No I'm talking about the courage to rise above and exposure your body, heart, and soul to the world. Yes I'm using images of famous celebrities in the nude to illustrate my point. I guess A real man is someone who is willing to take a care and be raw, alone others to see him at his most vulnerable and still be proud of who he is. Not in a boastful manner, but in one that conveys dignity, respect, and honor.

Perhaps I'm in one of those self-reflective moods. Maybe I'm just overly sexually stimulated by Eric Balfour, Lenny Kravitz, David Blaine, Naveen Andrews, and Jude Law, who knows?

Common Joes

Just the typical guy you might find off the street

Your Body, Myself Discovery

Since coming to terms with self-acceptance as being a Same Gender Loving Black man, I'm catching up for lost time devouring any and every image of svelte sexuality of the male of color. The process is good for me because it helps to keep my self-esteem on track. I still have many journeys to travel, but I believe my footing is in the right place for now.

Men, Men, Men

A fascination with African American males...sweet ebony chocolate. Delicious!

In The Beginning

on the day of our birth, we entered this world complete naked and cold.
