These two are what most gay boys' wet dreams are made of.
If you don't know who they are, these are 2 French rugby players who play for Toulouse. The one who's inked is Frederic Michalak and his friend is Clement Poitrenaud.
Here's the a picture of them from Dieux du Stade a few years ago. It's been circulating on the internet for a while - and for good reason. It's a fantastic picture because even though it's so revealing, it nevertheless leaves so much to the imagination.
They're both straight, by the way.
Sorry to disappoint boys, this isn't a full-scale pictorial of John Smit, much as I'd like it to be - you know how it is - so many boys, so little time.....
There is actually a point to this post, other than to feature a handsome, beefy rugby player which is no bad thing in itself, I'd be the first to admit.
I deliberately wanted to juxtapose these two pictures of John to illustrate how a picture sometimes merely capture a moment but at other times, tells an entire story.
It's finally happened.
The number of friends which I now have on MySpace has crossed the 1000 mark.
It's a milestone but only a notional one in that I don't know all 1000+ of them, much less met them all. Some gay guys on MySpace have claimed to have shagged all their friends on MySpace and they have several thousand friends - a rather hyperbolic claim, I suspect.
The reality is that while I would like to get to know all 1000+ friends much better than I do now, there simply aren't enough hours in a day.
I'm hoping to at least send them birthday greetings, if not have some sort of email correspondence with some of them.
It will come as no surprise that all of them are boys - some straight, some gay, some bi and some undecided. It doesn't really matter though.
Perhaps I'm hoping for too much but among the 1000+ friends I have, there's a guy whom I really like but who's so far declined my friend invitation. This is him:
This is the very delicious Jonny Wilkinson training prior to the big match against South Africa this weekend. It doesn't look good - "No Contact"? How can we expect to win against South Africa?
As some of you will know, I have a page on Facebook and one of the applications on that page is something called "Hunk of the Day" or such like. "Adam" who is featured on the left is the hunk du jour.
Judging from the comments left about him, these fall into 3 categories:
1. Comments from the gay boys - all of whom seem to think he's really hot;
2. Comments from girls - those who think he's hot; and
3. Comments from other girls - those who don't think he's hot
There doesn't seem to be any simple explanation as to why there seems to be a divergence of opinion other than beauty lies in the eye of the beholder but the homos (me included, so don't whinge about the word being derogatory) seem to have a homogenous view as to his attractiveness (who cares if he's got a squeaky voice?).
Amongst the ladies, there seems to be two opposing views - some would like to jump him immediately (as would us gay boys - we saw him first ladies - hands off - you know that if we fight you for him, we'll definitely win!) - and some who don't care for him at all.
Up until today, I had mostly thought that women and gay boys tended to have similar tastes in men but that myth has well and truly been shattered today.
So what is it that women look for in a man or more specifically, what do women find attractive in a man? I suspect that generations of straight guys have been trying to figure that one out, but with no success.
Perhaps us gay guys have gotten smart and realised that since we're not going to be able figure women out, we might as well not bother. Between men and men, it's much simpler, particularly between gay men. Physically and sexually, it's a lot more straightforward as well - between gay men, you never have to wonder whether your lover really had an orgasm or whether he was just faking it, like some (many?) girls do. Also, since when do you read in magazines about men feeling frigid and not wanting sex?
How men and women ever got together to breed is sometimes beyond comprehension - it's truly a Venus and Mars thing. Fortunately for our species, however, men and women often enough manage to overcome their differences or else homo sapiens would be extinct soon, if not already!
As for me, I don't really care what the ladies think. He's definitely what I'd look for in a man - purely from a physical perspective - that gets him 35% out of 100% on my scorecard. As for the remaining 65% of what he could potentially score, that will depend on his non-physical attributes. There's not much point having a pretty boy as your partner but apart from that you might have absolutely nothing in common and it won't be long before pretty boy finds himself another prettier boy than you. We're much better of with ordinary looking boys (not necessarily plain - you'll find me quite accepting in this regard) but whose non-physical attributes make him more compatible with you.
Of course, if you manage to find yourself a pretty boy whose brainy and amusing and is in every other way compatabile with you, do your best to hang on to him - he's definitely a keeper. There's not many of those around.
This is a remarkable photograph in so many ways and not because Jonny Wilkinson is in it.
Those of you who read this and who know me well enough will understand why Jonny Wilkinson features in this post and I promise he will be featured in full pictorial post of his own one day.
The reason why I picked this photograph is because it's so pregnant with meaning.
This was shot when the England rugby team arrived in France for their World Cup campaign. I wouldn't call it a defence of their Championship because all but the most one-eyed of English supporters will admit that we don't have a chance of winning it this year, not least of which was the rather lacklustre performance against the USA yesterday although Olly Barkley (he yummy too) put in a very creditable performance.
For that reason, I'd be inclined to be quite cynical about "Hope & Glory" and given Jonny Wilkinson's ankle injury, I rather doubt that he'll live up to be England's "Hope & Glory" for this World Cup.
I still fancy Jonny but it's not going to be the same as the last final Rugby World Cup final where he kicked the winning goal against Oz. Poor Jonny.
I've been a bit late in discovering Syncsta but better late than never.
Who is this Syncsta and what's it when it's at home?
Well, if, you're like me until a few days ago, you've never heard of Syncsta, they are a duo of two teenage boys who started off with a webcam making lip-synching videos for a laugh but soon because very well known all over the internet.
They boys are Chris Green and Jake Walmsley, both of whom live in the village of Spondon in Derby, England. Chris and Jake have their own websites (see here for Chris and here for Jake) and Chris also has a MySpace page. Here's some visual assistance - cute aren't they?
If I had to pick one of them to take with me to a desert island a la Sue Lawley (she doesn't do the BBC Radio 4 programme anymore, sadly enough), I'd pick Chris who is the blond one but it's not because he's blond. Honest, I'm not like that. It's his smile - it makes me weak in the knees. For some reason Jake doesn't do it for me in the same way but I wouldn't kick him out of bed!
All this is, of course, only in my head and even though the boys look very cute together and could easily be imagined as a couple, they truth is (as far as they have asserted) is that they are both straight but have a great time making shirtless video clips and camping it up for the webcam, especially in the Gay Barbie song which is probably the funniest one they've done.
The boys haven't seem to have made anything for quite a few months now and perhaps have moved on from making vidoes but I'm hoping that it's not the last we're going to see of them. They could be the next Ant & Dec or Topping & Butch - who knows?
I've posted two clips (Gay Barbie and Dragostea Din Tei) from YouTube and a link to all their other video clips on YouTube. Hope you like them as much as I do.
Here's another video clip from YouTube. This one features Jonathan Rhys Meyers in his role as Henry VIII in "The Tudors". Here he is, having a wank. The difference between how royalty do it and us plebs do it is that the former have someone to hold them cum towel for them. Watch the clip and you'll know what I mean.
Incidentally, Henry Cavill who plays Charles Brandon, one of Henry VIII's bratpack succeeds in making colllar ruffs look sexy.
Is this hot guy in the picture below really Hady Mirza, the Singapore Idol for 2006 or is it someone bearing an uncanny resemblance to him?
