Gay Porn and Gold Bond

Now the two things in the title are totally unrelated, but I thought I would throw them both in the same post. I will start with the Gold Bond.
So if you follow this blog you know of the dipping that occurs at the friday night poker game (scroll down and read before proceeding). Well I was discussing this with one of the participants in the game when another habit of the game arose. One that when I heard my mouth just dropped from the shock and oddness of it. So it seems that some of these guys have a thing for Gold Bond. Now that in and of itself is no big deal. Many guys use it and Ive been told it feels like there is a constant breeze in your shorts since its medicated powder (its made to treat jock itch). But it seems that at the poker game, some of the guys when they run out of money kinda mill around...and then wander into the other room, undo their pants and proceed to apply Gold Bond to their balls. (Pause for dramtice effect) Ok, so I hope I don't have to tell you that this is odd. And I know that my thinking its odd has nothing to do with sexuality either. I played football in high school, and was in a fraternity in college so Ive known plenty of straight men. And most of them dont open their pants and apply powder to their genitals while hanging out with their friends. This makes me wonder how many of the law school guys have had homoerotic experiences, especially if they think that is normal. A survey that was taken did say that half of all men will have some sort of homoerotic experience in their life. So just by the odds some of them probably have. Oh if only I could read minds.
Now with that image in your head let's move on to gay porn. (Hmm, maybe the two topics aren't as unrelated as I thought) So I was reading Iowa Law Girl's blog where she had a post about a conversation she had with other law school folks on porn. Apparently there were questions about the value of porn and whether it was inherantly bad or such. Now though the comments were all constructive, they were all by straight people. So I thought I would throw in a gay word or two. I am somewhat of a self proclaimed expert on gay porn. While I cannot afford it (most videos from the good studios run around $60 each), I do read a magazine called Unzipped, and know who most of the big stars and studios are.(I would be great if there was a gay porn category on Jeapordy!) Unzipped is a magazine pretty much about the gay porn industry, and so I find it fascinating. Especially when they talk to porn stars. And I gotta say, most seem like regular guys. No signs of molestation or psychological disorders. Now I do think gay porn is probably different in that men like to have sex. Pretty much all the time. So give one an exhibitionist streak and why on earth wouldn't you want to get paid to have sex with hot men? So long as you don't have any designs on politics of course.
I am beginning to wonder if I've become desentitized to porn though. One of the last times I watched it, of all things I noticed the shoes one of the guys had on. They were an awesome pair of Diesels that I must admit I searched for after. They are from like 3 seasons ago though, so no luck. I should write the porn studio and see if they still have them. You woulda thought I was paying attention to endowments or the sweaty sex, but no...i wanted his shoes. But anyways, in case you can't tell I think the porn industry is great. Well the gay one anyways. But then they take care of their stars way better (they pay better and require HIV tests before every movie and require condoms always). Hmm, and people wonder why some straight men will do gay porn. So in conclusion, everyone should just watch gay porn. The men are hotter and no women are harmed in the making.
