What Are You Into?

    The Marquis de Sade once wrote that, “Sex is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.” If de Sade were alive today, he might be surprised at how blasé we’ve become about former taboos such as sadomasochism or bondage and discipline. Although we still wage a constant battle to safeguard freedom of expression, you can see how far we’ve actually come since the hypocritical Victorian era by simply visiting any adult toy store or shopping online. Who knew it was so easy to find leather cat suits, bull whips, chainmail, body bags, isolation masks, nurse outfits, and horsetail butt plugs (for the pretty pony in you.) However, the expensive novelty items and elaborate props only represent a handful of fetishes. Fetish has actually become intimately entwined into the sex lives of almost everyone. We may not call them fetishes and most of them don’t rely on props, but the things average Americans do today often fall way outside the limits of what was once considered acceptable behavior. From spanking and talking dirty (“You like that dick, don’t you, you fuckin’’ slut…”) to three-ways and impromptu orgies, we’ve become more sexually liberated in the last 50 years than ever before. Practically anything can become a fetish, from feet, armpits, watersports and cross-dressing to role-playing, smoking, and tickling. When men fixate on big tits or heart shaped asses, that’s a fetish. This month we’re expanding our horizons and celebrating diversity by trying everything! Vivala fetish!
    There’s definitely something to be said for watersports during these tough economic times. After all, it’s free, convenient, and actually quite hot – literally. In the last couple years, the popularity of pissing sites has grown by leaps and bounds. Take, for instance, a recent clip from Boys-Pissing. In it, a guy wearing cute yellow boxer briefs hovers over his seated partner, who showers him with perhaps the most drawn-out stream of urine ever filmed. We’re talking Guinness Book of World Records level material here. Even if it wasn’t intentional, most of us have at some point peed on ourselves (or someone else) in the shower. The real eroticism that comes from this activity, as with all fetishes, is almost all in the mind. A stream of urine may have the power to both repulse and entice, but in truth it’s not really all that big of a deal physically. Part of the excitement comes from doing something taboo, and it becomes even more taboo when you do it somewhere inappropriate. Pissing on someone can mean a lot of things to different people. It can mean letting go of inhibitions, dominating, or marking territory like an animal. And nobody marks territory quite like the experts at Golden Boys USA. Here you’ll find all kinds of guys pissing on one another, playing, and even drinking piss. If you’d like to “get your feet wet”, the film Wet, Uncut + Naughty makes for a nice introduction. It features cute twinks pissing on both themselves and their buddies. If you’re looking for something that pushes more boundaries, Piss! from Lucas Entertainment was recently banned by the Canadian Border Services Agency due to its extreme obscenity. Canada has traditionally been much more liberal and less hypocritical than the United States as concerns these matters, but for some reason this film touched a nerve. Although a relatively minor and commonplace event, Lucas Entertainment was quick to fan the flames. In his latest clever bid for press, Michael Lucas wrote a tongue-in-cheek letter to President Obama about the issue and sent it out to the gay press. Apparently Lucas was pissed off. And he was apparently annoyed, too. Theban was just the PR boost that the film needed. After all, nothing makes people want something more than telling them they can’t have it.
    One more common fetish that many people share is a fascination with underwear. Before we had the Internet, a generation of gay men saw their very first semi-nude men in the pages of the catalogues from Sears Roebuck. Today, you won’t find too many missing pages in catalogs because you can find dozens of sites online that are devoted to men in underwear. You can even buy a used pair of undies at Used Fetish. Another great site dedicated to underwear is Gym Boys. If watching guys modeling underwear is what gets you going, try Panty Ass Boys. Each day, hot boys parade around in everything from women’s panties and thongs to panty hose, garter belts, and anything else they can squeeze their asses into. They may be wearing frilly women’s undergarments, but these men are no pussies. Many a tattooed top can be seen here pulling down his control top hose in order to fuck the bejesus out of a young twink.
    Luckily, not all underwear sites focus on women’s underthings. Undie Twinks unites two of our favorite things: twinks and sexy underwear. Seeing a young guy stretching out a pair of briefs with a raging hard-on is truly a site to behold. Photos document VPL (visible penis line) from every angle imaginable. As an added bonus, these guys often end up jerking off repeatedly – soaking their briefs with cum and then putting them back on.
    Although popular, underwear is just one type of clothing over which folks go gaga. Suit and tie porn is hugely popular, and at Men at Play you can see some of the best examples of this genre. Guys in three-piece suits and other formal attire whack off and fuck in offices, boardrooms, and other normally conservative environments. Sometimes you’ll see an open blazer and shirt still on as a guy fucks, plus lots of angles on trousers around ankles and men cumming on expensive Ferragamo shoes or Hermès ties. The men are stunning and look like they stepped right out of a fashion shoot for Vogue Homme. With Marcello is another of the better suit and tie sites. Everything revolves around the extremely sexy and charismatic Marcello– a dirty talking, international hustler who loves to dress up in everything from opera outfits to English riding gear. It’s like looking at porn that’s been produced by Merchant-Ivory Films (with just a touch of John Waters and a smidgen of some kid with Tourette’s Syndrome.) Marcello’s friends are equally hot, which helps to explain why this site has become a huge international success. Suits and underwear are great, but even more guys get off of jocks in sports gear, from football pads and helmets to jockstraps, soccer uniforms, and tennis shorts. (As far as we can tell, those plaid golf pants that old men wear have yet to be fetishized. But never say never.) Perhaps this fetish harkens back to high school when many of us had crushes on the school jocks we’d see naked in the locker room or surreptitiously arranging their embarrassing hard-ons in their wrestling, baseball, or diving outfits. A lot of these outfits involve spandex, which even has its own dedicated admirers.
    Besides sporting gear, there are other kinds of uniforms that turn people on. For instance, the guys at Gear Action are also dressed as firefighters, construction workers, soldier, sailors, cops, and doctors. It’s like Halloween– except that it’s in your bedroom. All year long. If you like sports gear but don’t know much a bout sports, Quizilla can help identify the gear that fits your personality. We took the quiz and got matched with a tennis racket. And we do love us some Andy Roddick. If you get matched up with shoulder pads and fear that it will expose your obsession with The Golden Girls, fear not. You’re not alone.
    Sometimes it’s not what’s worn on the body that gets us hard, but what’s worn on the feet. We’ve never done any bootlicking, but it hasn’t stopped us from enjoying sites like Boots Plus where men have their boots licked clean by a slave on all fours. Not every foot fetishist is into shoes, however. The guys at My Friends Feet love the naked, unadorned foot. Foot fetishes are so common that Wikipedia has compiled a list of alleged celebrity foot worshippers. Among the more surprising names on the list are Britney Spears, Pharrell, Jay Leno, Enrique Iglesias, and Ricky Martin. Freud postulated that podophilia was a subconscious way of adulating the male phallus (because the two look so much alike), but it doesn’t really account for all those who only obsess on feet. It’s kind of hot to think that certain gay celebrities are into kinky shit like foot licking. Popular titles like Freaky Chicken, Pigs, Players And Navy Feet and Fraternity Feet Rituals would seem to indicate that bare feet are more popular than feet in shoes. Live and learn.    
    Many people feel that the term “fetish” has become too all-inclusive. For example, twinks are sometimes treated as a fetish, despite the fact that twinks actually cover a huge, age-based slice of all porn. But true twinks are actually a very rare breed, due to their fleeting life spans of just five years. From 18 to23, twinks flourish. After that, the butterflies go back to being caterpillars. A lot of twinks actually cross over into the spanking genre, another very popular fetish. At Spank This!, barely legal guys are bent over daddy’s knee to be taught lessons. Sometimes the scenes seem fake as they begin, but by the time ass cheeks become blood red and welts start to rise, it’s clear that the tears and the apologies are sincere. Although clearly tinged with B/D and S/M overtones, there are those who dream of turning a naïve young twink into a personal sex slave. If that sounds like you, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for at Boy Fetish. Here, boys are forced to drink out of toilet bowls, locked incages, tied up, and more. Another interesting and very specific fetish involves cumming in or around the asses of twinks. The fans of this fetish love to see cum running down a recently fucked hole. Cum Into My Ass is a site dedicated to such delights. These boys live to take it raw and love to play with cum.   
    Even if we devoted an entire issue to nothing but fetishes, we’d still barely be able to scratch the surface. Human sexuality is rich and varied, and that’s a good thing. If you think that what you’re into might be a little bit freaky, it probably is! But lots of other people are probably into the very same thing – and the best place to find others of like mind is online. So figure out what your fetish is, get online, and then start looking!
