The first round of the presidential elections is over, and one of the candidates going into the second round is openly gay and married to another man. He's not the guy I wanted to vote on the first round, though I did, and I'm going to vote for him again on the second round. My reasons for voting him and not wanting to do so have nothing to do with ( Read more... )

I come out of the woodwork. I'm now back in Finland. There's been a lot on, and I always feel like trying to come up with something that sums up what I've been up to is as daunting a task as building Rome ( Read more... )

For those of you into pirates and sodomy, I recommend Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition: English Sea Rovers in the Seventeenth Century Caribbean by Barry Richard Burg. Not so much Rum, Sodomy and the Lash: Piracy, Sexuality, and Masculine Identity by Hans Turley.

Which, in my opinion, isn't exactly what bisexuality's about. This alone was disconcerting as a notion, but what I truly found ( Read more... )

On Saturday we had the pseudo-annual literature club picnic. The night before I'd been surfing soap land sites again, particularly one listing open jobs in different areas of the Japanese sex trade. I found a type of establishment that offered massages (as opposed to peddling sex), and prohibited anything that the masseuses would find unpleasant. ( Read more... )

Today I went to one the universitys human experiments again. It was about 3D movies. The guy arranging it had a name that to me suggested a much older man, so I was very surprised to find that he was young. He seemed younger than I am, in fact. Slightly disconcerting ( Read more... )
