Mike Or Mark: Who Would You Choose?

Issues 40 comments

Mike and Mark

Mike and Mark are twins. Both are good looking, and share almost all God-given gifts and talents (okay, okay, including a decent-sized, e.g. 7-in, man-meat). Both behave very straight (meaning, butch), both very manly. Assume all things between them are equal, except for one thing: Mike is 100% straight (meaning, he only falls in love with real women), and Mark is 100% gay (meaning, he only falls in love with men, straight or otherwise).

Given the chance to have sex with one, and ONLY ONE of them, who would you choose? Mike (straight) or Mark (gay)?

Comment in your answers! (For your vote to be counted, it should be categorical — either Mike or Mark — and not “both” – huwag gahaman, beki!) Feel free to explain your answer. Go!

Can the Full Moon Affect Our Behavior?

Miscellaneous 10 comments

fullmoonface

Tonight you may have noticed that we have a big and bright Full Moon. Tony my friend would always say that whenever there is a Full Moon, people become friskier, hornier. Is this true?

* * *

Let’s hear it from Wikipedia:

Full Moons are traditionally associated with temporal insomnia, insanity (hence the terms lunacy and lunatic) and various “magical phenomena” such as lycanthropy. Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon.[10] They find that studies are generally not consistent, with some showing a positive effect and others showing a negative effect. In one instance, the December 23, 2000 issue of the British Medical Journal published two studies on dog bite admission to hospitals in England and Australia. The study of the Bradford Royal Infirmary found that dog bites were twice as common during a full moon, whereas the study conducted by the public hospitals in Australia found that they were less likely.

* * *

Another source says:

At the University of Miami, psychologist Arnold Lieber and his colleagues decided to test the old belief of full-moon “lunacy” which most scientists had written off as an old wives’ tale. The researchers collected data on homicide in Dade County (Miami) over a period of 15 years — 1,887 murders, to be exact. When they matched the incidence of homicide with the phases of the moon, they found, much to their surprise, that the two rose and fell together, almost infallibly, for the entire 15 years! As the full or the new moon approached, the murder rate rose sharply; it distinctly declined during the first and last quarters of the moon.

An earlier report by the American Institute of Medical Climatology to the Philadelphia Police Department entitled “The Effect of the Full Moon on Human Behavior” found similar results. That report showed that the full moon marks a monthly peak in various kinds of psychotically oriented crimes such as murder, arson, dangerous driving, and kleptomania. People do seem to get a little bit crazier about that time of the month.

* * *

Another posits that the change in behavior has something to do with the Full Moon’s effect on the amount of positive ions in the air. It is said that if you breathe large amounts of positive ions without an equal amount of negative ions, you will actually become lethargic and in some cases sick (high positive ion concentrations in the air are associated with the full moon). Air containing more negative ions and fewer positive ions has shown to be beneficial and without side effects.

* * *

Well I really don’t have any answers. But based on experience, I somehow concur with Tony’s statement. Full Moon = friskier, hornier. What do you think?

(Hmmm… would the Malate party scene be bigger tonight? Or would F, E, or CB have better business tonight?)

Kris Martinez is a Naughty Boy

Cute Boys, Hunks 22 comments

Kris Martinez, now seemingly silent and mostly absent in the current showbiz buzz, was once upon a time a Close Up To Fame boy. The last time he was on the news was when he was promoting his movie “Green Paradise,” in November of 2007. Apparently, he was asked if he’s open to same-sex relationships, to which he answered, “Siguro, depende sa sitwasyon, depende sa tao, depende kung gaano na kami katagal magkakilala. So, kung mas kilala ko na siya as a person talaga, so why not? Bakit hindi?”

Hmmm. I can just imagine! Naughty! Hehehe!

Well and good, Mister Naughty Boy Kris Martinez. On another note, thanks for these similarly naughty pics — they literally grab your attention! Mwahs!

In the past several days I’ve noticed a spike in visitors to this blog searching for that mysterious doctor-boytoy, Hayden Kho. Perhaps people have been looking for his alleged “sex video” touted to exist by no less than his celebrity make-over magician and ex, Vicky Bello. Sorry, no such video here. Just some photos to get you by :p

The pope’s alleged ‘homophobic attack’

Issues, Miscellaneous 16 comments

357097220-gays-outraged-by-pope-s-homophobic-attack

VATICAN CITY (AFP) – - A suggestion by Pope Benedict XVI that homosexuality is as much of a threat to the survival of the human race as climate change sparked outrage among gay rights campaigners on Tuesday. [Source / Photo by Yahoo]

There is no direct quote from Pope Benedict XVI that is clearly homophobic, so I do not think we should take it as a real attack. Knowing the Catholic doctrine though, I am not really surprised that the Pope disapproves of the assumed typical homosexual lifestyle. It’s Christmas, and today more than ever, I pray that the pope is blessed with the grace of universal love. And I pray for us all for the same thing. May we all learn to love everyone regardless of age, gender, and race. Being anti-anything is so yesterday. Love, love, love. And gratitude. World Peace!

Second Guessing Grandma

Books and Literature, Movies and Music 3 comments

now_that_you_know Here’s a short indie film (less than 10min) from Giraldi Media. Another reference to that book, “Now That You Know.” If your parents are fond of reading books, this might just be useful.

If the coming out process is difficult for gay people, it is often equally difficult for their parents. Confusion, anger, and fear frequently cause fathers and mothers of gay men and lesbians to disavow, strike out against, and even resent their children. For many parents, a child’s coming out feels like the ultimate rejection–not only of their dreams and hopes but of their own heterosexuality. In Now That You Know: A Parent’s Guide to Understanding Their Gay and Lesbian Children, Betty Fairchild and Nancy Hayward–the mothers of, respectively, a gay man and a lesbian–have charted the rough seas that almost every parent of a gay person travels.

Fairchild and Hayward presume that homosexuality is a positive good, and that it is willful ignorance and homophobia that are moral wrongs. They also believe that families can and should love all members and that it is distraught or confused parents (not their gay offspring) who must change. Mixing common sense with a firm sense of social justice and love, the authors systematically address almost all of the problems faced by parents of gay people. Answering questions on religion, AIDS, health, children, alternative families, and sex, they make the complicated gay world–often a nightmare vision for “just out” parents of gays–not only manageable but happy and nurturing. –Michael Bronski (Amazon.com Review)

From Malaysia to Thailand With Love

Here’s a series of letters I received from someone who calls himself “ILoveAlec” a Pinoy gay guy in Malaysia.

Hi Migs,

I’m a big fan of your site. I always read whatever you put there. I’m the guy that hates drama hehehehe. I’ve been wanting to write you for the longest time but can’t find good story to share until yesterday Nov 8, 2008.

I’m currently in Malaysia for a short visit. Yesterday I went to see the Petronas out of curiosity because I’ve been hearing a lot of good words from people who see it and also from the movies. (more…)

Scared That The World Would Know

Letters, Migs Speaks 28 comments

Dear Migs,

Let me start by saying how confused I am right now. Just call me Boy. I admit that I have learned to accept who I am years ago, so I thought. I’m a straight-acting bisexual, In fact, meron din akong circle of gay and bi friends and as far as I recall, minsan ginagawa akong escort ng mga gay friends ko, kunwari boyfriend nila ako, just for the sake of fun. I’ve had previous relationships with the same sex too, but as years passed by deep inside, I realize that that was not what I wanted or something like that. Then I guess that was the start of a struggle, an inner struggle, which I find most difficult to cope with. Suddenly may fear ako naramdaman, fear of discrimination, fear na mapahiya because sa mundo ginagalawan ko presently hindi declared my other side. Why I didnt tell them in the first place? I really dont know (more…)
