Manila Gay Guy

Hi Migs,

Good day!

I am writing to you para maliwanagan ako sa lahat ng nangyari sakin. My name is Yours (a loan word from my true name so basically not really my real name, just sounded like my nickname. Actually there is a unique spelling of that nickname but to protect my privacy i just loaned the word as well as the spelling), 20 from Cebu. To be honest, I am bothered right now kung sino ba talaga ako lalo pa’t parang nagkagusto na ako sa kapwa ko lalaki na ang pangalan ay Emman (not his true name).

Anyone who has ever made love knows that part of the pleasure is in anticipating both the familiar and the unknown. The pleasure and intimacy of lovemaking are deepened when I am able to slow down and consciously savor the sharp taste of the moment in between, the second just before, the place where the breath catches in anticipation. I am aware of the scent of heat held in the air between two mouths reaching for each other hungrily. There is hope that sustains, that moves me toward life, in the skin that tingles, waiting, fine hairs at attention, reaching, aching. [from the book The Invitation, by Oriah]

Are you, like me, waiting too?

Corporate Closet (CC) is one of my smartest, most accomplished friends. He is a CEO of a billion-peso company, graduated at the top of our MBA class, and if you have the chance to talk to him even casually, you will not fail to notice that he is sharp of mind and wits. But, as his own story shows, even the sharpest, most intelligent beings have hearts that aren’t exempted from falling; and sometimes falling foolishly. This is the last part of CC’s sharing of his story with his Mr. Ripley. He fell for the guy whom he met online, and despite all tell-tale signs, he pursued. Unfortunately, it was Mr. Ripley, and he was indeed talented. Listen in, and drink from the wisdom of a true story, a real experience, and some lessons learned from our dear Fabcasters.

Dear Manila Gay Guy,

Thank you for widening the scope of the website even more. For a straight-acting gay dude, it’s difficult for many people to make them understand the mind of a gay man. Automatically, they would assume the effeminate side of being gay. And I feel guilty for even pointing that clearly out because it sounds as if I’m discriminating against our effeminate brothers. They are just like us.

Mon Tulfo in his Nov. 19, 2009 PDI column writes:

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is right about rejecting the application of a group composed of lesbians and gays to become a party-list group. Had the poll body approved the application of Ang Ladlad, baka tinamaan ng kidlat (lightning would have struck) its commissioners. Kidding aside, gender should never be an issue in politics. If there are many gays and lesbians in our midst, fine! We should respect their rights. But they should not also go around town proclaiming their preferences as if it was a badge of honor. There is nothing honorable or normal about same-sex marriage or union, which Ang Ladlad is trying to promote. Gays and lesbians should be happy society tolerates them. They should not abuse society’s doting attitude towards them.

So, what do you think?

Let’s hear it from the other side. Here’s a letter from a former masseur, who generously shares his story. Thanks, Nel.

Dear Migs,

I have been an avid reader of your blog site for almost a year now. My friend shared me your site- maybe in his desire to facilitate answers to my redundant questions about manila masseurs faster than he really could. In fact, I would not allow a day to pass without visiting your wellness link to update my list of the latest scoops and hot masseurs that should soon be tucked into my suitcase before my departure to manila for me and fellow PLU’s annual Christmas vacation.

I am Nel, a closeted gay in my late forties, an accountant by profession who acquired a citizenship here in USA after I was petitioned by my employer/lover. I have too many complexities in my personality that had been brought about by the numerous hazy chapters of my gay life. I’d like to share some of my own experience, just to find release after I made some disclosures about my murky past as reaction to a comment posted by one of your readers (masseurs, masseurs post. comments #’s 1359, 1361 and 1366.) I’d like to see it posted as a contribution in your site, so that others may be inspired and believe there is life after the massage bed or for whatever purpose it could serve to the readers.

Baunin mo ang huling hikbing namutawi sa puso kong nagmamahal sa iyo. Mapagpalayang hikbi, kasama nito ang isanlibo’t isang alaala ng pagsasamang walang kasingligaya. Hikbi, kapatid ng isang malalim na buntong-hininga, matapos umalpas, magpumiglas sa pagkakakapit sa pagnanasang may bukas pa ang ating pag-ibig. Minsang inaya ng aking isipan ang mga madidilim na sulok ng iyong pagkatao, ngunit umiling ang kalooban ko. Nais ko pa ring panghawakan ang mga walang kasinglutong na mga halakhak, ang mga pagsisiping na tila walang katapusan, ang alaala ng iyong init, halik, halimuyak, lasa, lambot, tigas, haplos, at yakap. Buo ka pa rin sa aking isipan. At sa pagpapaalam na ito, ihihikbi ko ang mapagpalayang hikbi, habang inginingiti ko ang walang-bahid mong katauhan sa aking mga mata.

This is the part where Corporate Closet (CC) details the heartbreaking story and climax of the disappearance of his Talented Mr. Ripley. Sad, sad story. Made me think: how can one brain so sharp have a heart so gullible? But then again, what use is a heart that’s exempted from folly? This is a story not just a few can identify with. Listen (16 min 38 sec).
