Cuddling on the
Wild Side

I have safely arrive at the IML host hotel (Chicago Hilton), checked into my room and unpacked all my stuff. I really need a muscle slave to do all this for me. So far I’ve ran into quite a few people I know, and some of those people you know, but don’t know who they are.

After I finished unpacking, I stopped down my the Leather Market to see all the hotties there. It’s pretty much where everyone will congregate. Ran into quite a few muscle studs, but mostly just scoping things out and seeing what’s going on. Fort Troff has some interesting new products, as well as my buds at Tribal Son jewelery. I’ll be getting more pics in the following days of the Leather Market.

Haven’t played with anyone yet, other than some nipple grabbing and such.

I hope to have multiple IML posts per day to keep y’all up to date on what’s going on. So the posts will be formatted “IML: Day # – (Post Number)”

Enjoy!

Here’s a little treat for y’all while I’m going to the airport and flying to Chicago for IML. Hopefully I can get me one of these while I’m there.

I’m finishing getting ready for IML right now. I’m going to try to post a lot of updates this weekend. Some will be short like this from my iPhone. Others will hopefully be longer and better. Let me know if there is anything you want me to check out while at IML in Chicago.

Fort Troff just came out with a new product called The Leg Sling. It’s an easily portable sling that will hold up the legs allowing for some hot fucking, fisting and whatever else you nasty pigs might be doing. Check out the link, they have a demo video of them putting it together and using it.

It’s designed for easy assembly and only weighs 9 lbs. Great if you have limited space to use and/or store a full sling. It uses a pretty cool pully system to hold the stirrups (which are not included).

This looks great if you need something for travel. Bbased on the $299 (plus stirrups) price tag though, if you are looking at getting a sling, you may want to check out a real full sling for just a little bit more. Also, I’m a little worried about the construction because it’s made of aluminum. It looks semi-solid, and maybe I’ll see it at IML this year to give a better review.

In just a couple days I’m going to be leaving for Mr. International Leather (IML) XXXI. I’m totally excited and hoping to have a great time meeting some fellow twitter friends and getting into LOTS of trouble.

A little background info for those that may not know what IML is. IML is hosted in Chicago on Memorial Day weekend every year. The main point of the event is to find Mr International Leather in a Ms. America style competition. It has an interview, speech and a physique portion. Beyond the competition the weekend is filled with parties, a leather marked filled with many different kinds of vendors, and tons of hot leather guys. It’s also Bear Pride in Chicago at the same time, so you might run into some of them.

I’ll be staying in the host hotel (it changes most every year) from Friday – Tuesday. I’ll definitely be spending quite a bit of time at the leather market and I’ll try to take plenty of pictures to share with everyone. My goal is to blog each day, maybe even multiple times, so stay tuned for updates from the crazy kinkiness that is IML.

If you’re going to be there and haven’t let me know via Twitter, send me an email.

This is designed to be used for students to help them study, but I can think of some far better uses for it. It has a 4 hour max timer and won’t unlock until the timer is up. The ball weighs about 20 lbs which may be a little light for most grown men. This could be perfect for any guys into medieval bondage scenes. I know I could have some fun with it.

Concerned mums and dads set the desired study time on the Study Ball and attach it to their child’s ankle.

A red digital display counts down the “Study Time Left” and the device beeps and unlocks when the time expires.

The prison-style device weighs 9.5 kg (21 pounds), making it difficult to move while wearing it.

It cannot be locked for more than four hours and comes with a safety key that allows the manacle to be opened at anytime.

The ball and chain costs £75 and is sold online at curiosite.com.

The website says: “Quite often, students who are having problems concentrating tend to get up every ten minutes to watch TV, talk on the phone, take something out of the fridge, and a long list of other distractions.

“Were they to dedicate all this wasted time to studying, they would optimise their performance and have more free time available.

“Study Ball helps you study more and more efficiently.”

Designer Emilio Alarcon came up with the idea after a friend likened revision to being in jail.

I got this from a follow on Twitter. I just can’t remember who you are. Sorry

Most people have at least one online profile, whether it be Facebook, Recon, Big Muscle, Manhunt etc. Now, they aren’t all for hooking up or meeting other hot guys, but I am going to focus on writing a profile for one of them.

If you follow the things below when you first create your profile, you will be much better off than if you try to piece-meal it together over time. Most sites have an easy way to find new members. If your profile is incomplete, you’ll be passed over and be much much harder to find later on.

Before you start a profile have the following items:

• 4 Photos of yourself – At least one shirtless and one face pic
• Body measurements – Waist, chest, arms, cock, weight, height
• List of your interests – sexual and non-sexual

Different sites require you to go about things a little differently. I’ll talk about how to do a regular profile like you might use for Big Muscle, then what you might want to change for a hook-up site like Manhunt or a kink-oriented site like Recon.

General Profile

Good Profile Pic - Shows off the body well, and shows an interest of his.

First you have to choose a profile name. This is usually how the site will recognize you. Try to make it something that will have longevity, brand recognition, and insight into you. Avoid names that include years, ages, states/locations. Just because you live in Texas and are 25, doesn’t mean you should make your username “TexasMuscle25

Fill out everything they tell you that you are comfortable with. The more you fill out the better chance other people will find you. I know gay are known for lying, but a least make things believable if not true. When you get to the photo upload section, upload your best photo as the main one. You may want to ask other’s opinions on this. It is vital that you have a photo uploaded when you first create your profile. Never, ever, under any circumstance set a cock or ass pic as your main pic. Try to give something that gives people a good view of your body – shirtless at least. Try to have a variety of photos and some that are taken well. The photo will make the biggest impression. Read the rest of this post »

So, I was thinking about this while I was in the shower at the gym taking a piss. If I hit myself while pissing in the shower, and kind of enjoy it, does that make it a fetish, or does there need to be a definite sexual/hard-on inducing aspect to it?

First let’s check out a couple dictionary definitions of what a fetish is:

Merriam-Webster

1 a: an object (as a small stone carving of an animal) believed to have magical power to protect or aid its owner ; broadly : a material object regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence b: an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion : prepossession c: an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression
2: a rite or cult of fetish worshipers
3: fixation

Dictionary.com

1. An object that is believed to have magical or spiritual powers, especially such an object associated with animistic or shamanistic religious practices.
2. An object of unreasonably excessive attention or reverence: made a fetish of punctuality.
3. Something, such as a material object or a nonsexual part of the body, that arouses sexual desire and may become necessary for sexual gratification.
4. An abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment; a fixation.

Urban Dictionary

1. An object thought to have magical, especially magically sexual, powers
2. A sexual fixation or obsession with a usually non-sexual object. EX. socks, horses, monkeys, pain, bondage

Just as with all the fetishes out there, there is an equal number of definitions at to what it is. Now I didn’t know it had another definition for a magical object, but we can skip over that one. Now, I’ll admit it, after looking at these definitions, I definitely use the word “fetish” inappropriately.

A fetish is something that a can reduce a person’s sexual experience if it is not present. It can be physical or mental and usually requires outside influence.

I don’t think I have anything that is truly a fetish. I have some things that definitely make my sexual experiences better and easier, but nothing that’s required. Do you have any?

Also, check out and let me know of any unusual fetishes I like to call Fringe Fetishes.
