No Male Full Frontal Nudity for Bobby Cannavale in "The Watcher," Ryan Field Books

 No Male Full Frontal Nudity for Bobby Cannavale in "The Watcher"

The moment I saw that Bobby Cannavale would be starring in the new Netflix series, The Watcher,  I was certain I would love it. I've been a fan of his for years, and I once posted about a full frontal nude scene he did in a previous series. The man was gorgeous then, and he's just as gorgeous today. Here's the link to that post. 

In any event, I don't think we're going to see another male full frontal nudity scene in The Watcher. And I think it's because this particular series really doesn't call for it. That's the interesting thing I've learned about sex in movies and in books. There should always be a reason for any nudity or sex. And that even applies to what I write with erotic gay romance. 

In fact, I once had a publisher ask me to add a sex scene to an erotic gay romance I had turned in for edits. And I was stunned because I found that it was almost impossible to add that extra sex scene. I figured out a way to do it to satisfy the publisher, but to this day I still don't like that sex scene and I still don't think it works. But when you're getting paid advances and royalties, you do whatever the publisher wants. 

And frankly, I think Bobby Cannavale is just as great in The Watcher without the full frontal scene. There is, however, a scene where he starts to masturbate alone but he's interrupted. And even that's okay, because this really is a great series with a wonderful cast of characters, including Mia Farrow. It took me a minute to recognize her, but when I did it was truly and ah ha moment. 

Here's more about The Watcher on IMDb. So far it's getting stellar ratings and reviews.

 Tues: The Best Streaming Penises

I stumbled across this article about male full-frontal nudity and I couldn't pass up the chance to link. You don't see many of them around.

It's a list of streaming TV shows and movies. 

This 1997 flick about a dishwasher turned porn star features an impressive 13-inch prosthetic latched onto Mark Wahlberg’s own goods. Of course, being that it is not Wahlberg’s actual penis, including it on this list is debatable. But it looks pretty real. Yell at me in the comments if you want.

Here's more. I also believe these articles are actually a good idea for people who find male full-frontal nudity offensive. Now they know what not to watch. It's all very clear. And that's really a public service.

Fri. Keep the Penis In the Picture HBO and Male Full Frontal Nudity, Can Gay Bottoms Self-Lubricate? Ryan Field Books

 Fri. Keep the Penis In the Picture HBO and Male Full Frontal Nudity

Here's another story about male full frontal nudity in films. This one is focused on HBO's history with regard to showing penis in films. 

From "Real Sex" to "Game of Thrones," a look back at the junk-filled journey to that controversial "Euphoria" locker room scene.

Here's more. They mention something interesting that I never noticed before. There is yet another double standard, and it's true. Male nudity is often used for comedic effects. Female nudity is rarely ever used as a joke...at least in straight mainstream movies. This one is worth reading. 

Can Gay Bottoms Self-Lubricate? 

I think gay bottoms can self-lubricate. I've seen it happen and I've written about it in books with sex scenes. 

A quick Google search reveals this is something of an unconfirmed phenomena. Many online sources like Reddit, Go Ask Alice, Data Lounge, and Girls Ask Guys all contain genuine queries from men and women saying that they or their partners’ can anally self-lubricate. 

Here's the rest. I'm telling you that it can, and does, happen. Some gay men can self-lubricate.

24 Pics of Gay Soldiers; Male Full Frontal Nudity: Sense 8; Tom Daley Unrecognizable Wearing Clothes

24 Pics of Gay Soldiers

I'm still on the road, but at least I solved the WiFi issue. I'll post more about this road trip to Palm Springs, and some LGBT related experiences we've had during the trip when I get to PS.

I think it's amazing that younger gay men have things like this to see nowadays. The only photos of gay men I ever saw when I was growing up weren't people I could identify with at all.

You can check them all out here.

I think if I had known that all gay men are not the same it would have made growing up a lot easier. 

Male Full Frontal Nudity: Sense 8 

I've been watching another Netflix series, Sense 8. It's an excellent series, with characters you'll enjoy, and a storyline that will keep you wondering constantly.

And, there's male full frontal nudity. It's not too over the top, but it does move the story forward.

You can check that out here.   

Tom Daley Unrecognizable Wearing Clothes

I guess people are so used to seeing Daley wear practically nothing, it's hard to recognize him with clothes on? I don't totally get this one. But I have this feeling Daley will be taking his pants off in public until he's well into his 40s.

‘Outside of the pool I don’t walk around the house in my trunks!’ the Olympic diver says in the new issue of Attitude magazine.

‘The other day, an old lady came up to me and said: “Gosh, I don’t recognize you with your clothes on!” and I guess people see me on TV and diving with no clothes on. It’s nice to go to a photoshoot and actually wear something.’

There'smore here. I love the way they make these quotes without thinking twice about what they're saying..."old lady." You have to wonder sometimes. And I'm not sure you can blame that on youth alone. We were all his age once and we didn't refer to people as, "old lady." It would have been rude.

Male Celebs Who Bared It All This Summer; Assisting Gay Ghosts To Come Out; STIs Outsmarting Antibiotics

Male Celebs Who Bared It All This Summer

I think I posted about most of these guys who dropped their dick pics all over the internet, but in case you missed anything this article talks about male celebrities who took it all off this summer.

A-List Hollywood apparently took note, with Orlando Bloom soon joining the coveted coven of male celebs with their own jaw-dropping penis pic leaks. Not to be outdone, fellow star, occasional romantic rival, and all-around runt Justin Bieber once again took off all his clothes to prove, once and for all, that he can be nude with the best of them. Then he proved it again. And again. Hey, he proved it last summer, too.

The article takes a slightly glib tone and I'm not sure why. There should be nothing wrong with male full frontal nudity. I do think these people are only trying to get free publicity, but still...  You can check the rest out here. It's SFW.


Assisting Gay Ghosts To Come Out

This article does take a glib tone for obvious reasons. However, I have a true story I want to share right now. I lost my best friend in 2000 suddenly...a heart attack...and I was so stunned by the loss I contacted a psychic a few months after he died. I was very, very young at the time and I needed some kind of closure, because it was so sudden and so shocking. I was inconsolable. This was someone I spoke to daily, and saw every single weekend for over six years, and then he was gone. Just gone forever. 

So I found a good reputable psychic (they do exist) and I had a reading where the psychic channeled my deceased best friend. Keep in mind the psychic knew nothing about me. But I knew my friend was gay, all his other friends knew he was gay, but he never actually came out of the closet to his family and to people who didn't know him outside of his own small circle. And during the psychic reading, when the psychic channeled him, one of the things my friend said during that session was that he regretted not coming out of the closet and living a fully authentic life. It was a dark, serious moment that gave me chills. It was also the last thing I expected to hear. I didn't know he felt that way.

In any event, I always wonder about this kind of thing now.

A gaggle of LGBTQ paranormal investigators from Columbus, Ohio have joined together for Queer Ghost Hunters, a new reality web series with a simple mission: To locate gay ghosts and assist them in coming out in the afterlife.

You can check this out here.

STIs Outsmarting Antibiotics

This is scary and I'm sure a lot of people aren't paying attention to it.

Look out, world — chlamydia’s getting clever, along with a whole host of other STIs. About a million people sexually transmit an infection every day around the world, according to the World Health Organization, and a lot of them are becoming harder to treat.

You can check this one out here. The article does mention there is one way to combat all this. In case you haven't heard of them, they're called condoms. And that's something I'm never glib about.

Daniel Radcliffe's Animatronic Penis; Game of Thrones Penises; 7 Important Penis Issues

Daniel Radcliffe's Animatronic Penis

This is about a new movie, Swiss Army Man, with Daniel Radcliffe that sounds interesting.

Daniel Radcliffe has shown that he’s not afraid to get nude for the sake of art, with his performance in a stage production of Equus back in the late 2000s. However, when it comes to the big screen, he’s not one to flaunt his body around. But in Swiss Army Man, his bare ass proves to be a valuable asset (pun not intended) as the flatulence of his character’s corpse helps Paul Dano survive in the woods. And in addition to his gas serving a purpose, Daniel Radcliffe’s penis turns out to be immensely helpful as well.

There's more here.

You can see the trailer there, too. It's a good one, at a glance.

Game of Thrones Penises

From what I gather, there's nudity in Game of Thrones, and it seems to be a huge promotional gimmick/tool for them. But this time the penis focus is about NOT having a penis.

It's not so much about what they've got as what they haven't. Aside from newly appointed Hand of the Queen Tyrion Lannister (who himself has the moniker of "half man"), none of them has a penis.

Her council comprises two eunuchs and a woman. The noble houses that have joined her are represented by women and by Theon Greyjoy, who is also a eunuch. What's more, the bulk of Daenerys's army is made up of the castrated super-soldiers known as The Unsullied.

So much for male full frontal nudity in TV and films. You can check that out here.

7 Important Penis Issues

Here's an article that talks about about what happens to a guy's penis when it's not being used regularly.

Guys will tell you that it's really dangerous for them to not have sex. They've been saying it since high school. But is it really dangerous? Can their penis suffer from lack of getting laid?

Well, yes and no. Just like with the female sexual organs, lack of sex will have an impact on a man's penis. Some crazy things DO happen, and it may not be what you expect.

Here's the rest. 


I wouldn't take this one too seriously, though. It's basically telling us that water is wet.

Hot Erotic Gay Fiction: Unabated by Ryan Field; Male Full frontal Nudity On TV; Is Sexting Cheating?

Hot Erotic Gay Fiction: Unabated by Ryan Field

I actually don't think that Unabated is one of my steamiest books...for lack of a better term. But I guess that's debatable. It is sexy and it is a full length novel...and it does have a strong love story about new adults.

I do know that the theme of this new adult gay romance explores the concept of gay open marriages, and all the rules that go along with them. And the subplot has to do with two gay men who have been together for many years and are keeping a deep dark secret from everyone.

It's not a mystery, but it does have a happy ending. I think that's important, because it's so hard to find a happy ending with any gay content that is produced these days.

In any event, here are a few of the links, and the blurb is below. It will be in a few other places, too, and I'll post them soon. It's usually in iTunes.

It will also be available as a print book soon.

Danny and Vince have an almost perfect gay marriage in New York, and then they move to a small gay enclave in the suburbs of Pennsylvania where they discover something interesting: most of the older gay couples have open marriages. Danny and Vince are still in their twenties, and everything about their lives is new and exciting. So when they leave New York to be closer to Vince's job as a TV weather person in Pennsylvania, they discover they're interested in exploring the possibilities of an open gay marriage, too.

In the midst of all this "adulting," from being first time homeowners to buying a new car, the changes Danny and Vince experience in the small town of Penn's Grant lead them to new sexual and emotional experiences they never had in New York. They not only meet gay couples who have been together for decades, but a few who have been leading double lives and hiding deep dark secrets that have ruled their lives. Thanks to his new open gay marriage, Danny discovers a few secrets about his own strong desires for men he never knew existed.

Will their open gay marriage ruin them both forever, or will it wind up bringing them closer together? And will the move to Penn's Grant turn them into the small town gay couple they never wanted to become in the first place?

Male Full Frontal Nudity On TV 

Here's another article that explores male full frontal nudity, and the double standard, but on TV this time. Of course Game of Thrones is there.

Before Meloni became a huge network star on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, he joined the cast of HBO’s jail drama Oz. The series frequently had fights in the shower, graphic nude scenes, and a uniquely naked approach to solitary confinement. Meloni was not shy about being all kinds of naked including a scene where he’s fully nude talking with EGOT-winner Rita Moreno.

You can check this out here. 

Is Sexting Cheating?

I've never thought too much about this one. I haven't even put it in a book...yet. But I think it brings up an interesting question: is sexting actually cheating? And when I say sexting I'm talking about DMs, too.

They did a survey and this is what they found...those "they" survey people.

35 percent of respondents said that yes, sexting is tantamount to cheating. Meanwhile, one in 10 say they thought it was “just a bit of fun.” And 62 percent said sending dirty pictures is worse than sending dirty texts.

Eight percent of respondents said they had sexted with someone other than their partner in the last year, and one third of them said the sexting had resulted in them ultimately meeting up and having sex behind their partner’s back.

You can read the rest here, where there's a survey that you can take. One of the answers is "Only when you get caught."

Evidently, it's complicated.
