"Nothing out of our loins, Sweetie, will ever see the light of day!" Gay, Homo and Queer for Spring 2013

Nothing out of our loins, Sweetie, will ever see the light of day!
Nothing out of our loins, Sweetie, will ever see the light of day!
So weep in a way and rejoice in another
We'll never feel the pain of being a mother
We can only be happy to say that We're brothers!
We're brothers!
Bloodbrothers!

fuck you beat me to it i had a whole thing planned

but OK OK! spring! woohoo!

also A+ song choice jed

i think we discussed it for a thread title last year or maybe before that, donna.

god I love that song, nice choice

i'm listening to Korn

although I always though it was "our loins three", as in "I wanna walk through Sodom with a boy on each arm"

I'm listneing to Waxahatchee, Kacey Musgraves, and Earl Sweatshirt.

everclear

listening to the A/C vents

I'm listening to "Let's Pretend We're Married."

ALL THE HIPPIES SING TOGETHER

yay! spring thread

Rev is ready to spring into spring

Excuse me but I need a mouth like yours.

!

I used a variant on that line on a guy I dated, but he was already mine so I can't tell you whether it worked.

Did he help you forget ... um, him I guess?

i need help forgetting

obv had to google this lyric, listening now, don't remember hearing it... too 'cabaret' to get played on US weird radio?

Have never heard the thread title song ever before.

Morbs i'm surprised you don't know it.

Have never heard OF the thread title song (or the artist) ever before.

That too, but I was afeared to admit it.

i had "i, jonasbrother be" as a DN once

the shock headed peters were all straight afaik which makes this little homage to gay love all the fruitier.

when they look so like a girl it makes it easier to swallow....

I have heard the Shockheaded Peters before. I see this song appears to have been played once on WFMU in the last 6 years.

wtf is a shockheaded peter

and why would you listen to one when you could listen to Prince?

I can't understand any curiosity.

officially have not gotten a msg on scruff for about 4 days

i think whatever sex gene i had has been mutated by all the cigarettes i've been smoking

saturday mornings rule

no but rly i am having a good time blasting music in my empty apartment

sometimes i think my apparent lack of sex appeal is some kind of innate defense mechanism my body has developed to ward off infection

i think i've reached a point of saturation on a4a

also lack of sex appeal? come on.

ur sweet

and sexy!

Everyone in this town knows I'm an ice queen by now.

^^great alt country lyric can i steal it?

Only if you dress up like Barbara Mandrell.

love that woman

when i first put that on and unmuted my computer the spotify was still playing hall & oates and the mashup was v confusing

good song btw!

the list band of thebes does every year is probs the best source i know of for contemporary queer lit recommendations: http://bandofthebes.typepad.com/bandofthebes/2012/11/the-best-lgbt-books-of-2012.html
there's a lot to sift through and def a lot of junk on that list tho (also lol n.b., i just realized i haven't read anything on the 2012 list. i do own a copy of one of the abdellah taïa books on there)

well, here's...something

http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/06/rise-of-the-daddies-a-new-and-sexy-gay-niche.html

thats...

uh

...something

like I want to say so many things abt that but don't know where to start?

Rise of the Daddies will be the best Transformers movie.

I think someone linked the Thebes list last December, but I hain't used it yet.

i know you have a little rogers & hammerstein in ya

-the idea of "daddy" equating to "reinforcing empty and stupid signifiers of masculine performativity" is idiotic
-the idea of "daddy" equating to "reinforcing empty and stupid signifiers of masculine performativity" is idiotic
-young guys fucking old guys is uh not new; intergenerational partnerships are like the oldest thing ever dude
-does this article mean to imply that everyone over a certain age or w/ a certain look is automatically a "daddy" bcz I don't want to bring in this tbh kinda weird incestuous terminology into my friendships/relationships w older men esp since it draws attention to, reinforces, and fetishizes said age difference when I'm approaching these dynamics as more peer-like than young/old

the idea of having sex with your daddy is idiotic

when ppl I am doing whatever with (having drinks, hanging out, chatting, fucking) refer to themselves as "daddy" in regard to our dynamic I'm just like "what the fuck, do you even listen to anything I am saying bcz anyone with a brain stem would p quickly realize that I am not fetishizing you bcz of your age but rather talking to you like someone on my level and quite frankly it's incredibly dismissive of you to be pulling this shit"

like it feels like they're basically saying "okay yeah whatever just get done talking so I can place you into this role that I really want you to fill"

xp alfo otm; I already have a dad and I don't have sex with him and I don't want to pretend that the person I'm having sex with is my dad, esp my daddy is language I have not used since I was 6. I'm not 6.

Like everything about the word and what it means and where it comes from feels like something that I cannot and do not relate to and it's disheartening when ppl are like "young guy and old guy means boy and daddy" UGH FUCK

then again I tend to severely overanalyze and overthink these sorts of things and then just assume that allllll of these implications that I am inferring are applicable to every situation, regardless of how ppl approach this specific type of language and what sort of place it comes from

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CJEoyEArno

though wait no fuck that you cannot tell me that "daddy" is not meant to reduce and fetishize generational difference

I don't want to bring in this tbh kinda weird incestuous terminology into my friendships/relationships w older men esp since it draws attention to, reinforces, and fetishizes said age difference when I'm approaching these dynamics as more peer-like than young/old

otmfm

my bf is ten years older than me and we occasionally make jokes about the age diff ourselves but i'd be pretty insulted if anyone ever referred to our relationship in those terms

Many of our most famous gays right now — Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper, Alan Cumming, Tom Ford, and so on — are all also daddies.

hahaha no fucking way, dude

okay so I just had a few convos w/ ppl to try to get diff perspectives and from the two older guys I've asked abt this, I have gotten at some point in the conversation both "Don’t overthink it. It’s becoming just a thoughtless phrase, like woof." and "Don't think about it too much" which like okay am I just being a disphit here? do I overthink these things?

is it reactionary to dismiss their comments as dismissive or should I actually listen to what they're saying and step back? am I a pretentious and overintellectual shit?

Alan Cumming does not fit the broadest possible definition of daddy.

But I don't think everyone who uses the term is having an incest fantasy, or even most of them.

what about the famed Richard Pryor bit about vagina noises during sex -- "It's talkin' to you, daddy!"

like, Jennifer Lawrence is more of a daddy than Alan Cumming

btw i have seen the author of that piece at a z3xclub, some years ago

i dunno, i don't think there's anything terribly sinister about it, even if it does have overtones of incest. i think part of the prevalence of 'daddy' and intergenerational fetishism tends to suggest to me that a lot of closeted young guys' formative sexual experiences are with men who are older, sometimes much older than themselves.

am I a pretentious and overintellectual shit?

As I prove, one can think too much and still not be an intellectual. ;)

while we think hard about summer thread titles, an obvious question: Should I ever visit P-Town? Can it be done on the cheap?

I have a title hold on

stevie fwiw i wholeheartedly agree with you re: 'daddy.' it's lazy and stupid.

I was gonna start "We eat WANGS and throw them BONERS on the ground" but I reconsidered

xp sex is lazy and stupid

when you're doing it right

xp alfo otm; I already have a dad and I don't have sex with him and I don't want to pretend that the person I'm having sex with is my dad, esp my daddy is language I have not used since I was 6. I'm not 6.

worrrrrd

hey, come to NYC in July and let's share Dirty Looks

http://onlocation.dirtylooksnyc.org/

fuuuuuck i wish

arch brown's 'pier groups' is an interesting gay porn relic - it was partially filmed in pier 52, where gordon matta-clark installed 'day's end', and you can see it in some of the shots

soooo coooool

haha they're showing Taylor Meade's Ass in moma's sculpture garden!

Isn't it starting to stink by now?

there's a freezer in the cafe.

It's summer and Taylor Meade is freezing his ass off: GAYLXORs Summer 2013

ok unless there's an alternative by midnight

morbs chill with the clockwatching yeesh

sorry, it's just me overcompensating for Eric starting the winter thread when the first snowflake falls in Minneapolis (Oct 8)

I started a thread?!

it started the whole world crying

ok, pushing for it anyhoo

hope you have a cooler summer than that godawful week I was there a year ago.

Up until now, the whole year has been cooler than usual. Finally a solid string of 90s on its way, tho.

So I guess we can finally fucking move onto the next season of Gay Struggles now?

Adoption (which I care more about anyway)?

Nope. Gays have achieved full equality and there's nothing left to fight for now.

xpost

tbf, I don't actually know what the status of this issue is in the US. I'm just playing the odds that it ain't pretty.

hope there's a dry ballgame in NY this weekend so I can escape all Pride

You could always stay in the shame bunker.

Jesus, you two

pssst
