“Masculin/Masculin” Exhibit In Paris Lays The Male Nude Bare

Masculin/Masculin, a revealing exhibition at Paris’ Musee d’Orsay, features some 200 paintings, photographs and sculptures that celebrate the male nude.
The nude female has been the subject of countless exhibits, but this is the first time the male gaze has been turned back on itself. It’s about time:

| Frédéric Bazille, “Fisherman with a Net” |
Thanks to Calvin Klein and Madison Avenue, society has warmed to the idea of objectifying, deifying and commodifying men’s bodies. The mainstreaming of gay-male culture helped too. “One of our themes is the homoerotic,” Musee d’Orsay president Guy Cogeval tells The Local. “It is a thread throughout the exhibition.”
Naked guys are all the rage in the art world, apparently: a similar show in Vienna, titled “Nude Men,” drew crowds—and complaints.
From the exhibit text:
It is highly significant that until the show at the Leopold Museum in Vienna in the autumn of 2012, no exhibition had opted to take a fresh approach, over a long historical perspective, to the representation of the male nude. However, male nudity was for a long time, from the 17th to 19th centuries, the basis of traditional Academic art training and a key element in Western creative art.
Artists represented in “Masculin/Masculin,” which stretches back to 1800, include Rodin, Jacques Louis David, Pierre et Gilles, David LaChappelle and Paul Cadmus.

PROUD BATOR IS YOUR NEW FAVORITE INDEPENDENT JERK-OFF SITE.

He goes by the name of Proud Bator, and if you haven’t checked out his website or followed him on Tumblr, we strongly urge you to get with the fucking program and hop on his dick as soon as possible.
From what I can gather, Proud Bator is an independent, donation-based jerk-off site (though solos are occasionally interrupted by a very
generous helping hand). You could compare it to STR8cam orThe Dude Next Door, except beyond monthly membership options, you can drop down a $65 donation for unlimited, lifetime access. We’ll let you decide if this fellow’s dick is worth that much to you.
(Alternatively, you could try out the site for one month with a $12 donation.)

THE LOCKER ROOM:
ANTHONY DAVIS STRIPPED AND SPANKED
From: Manhunt Daily
From: Manhunt Daily
Yes, NBA, yes. We need this sort of horseplay and hijinks. Players should be routinely stripped, restrained, and soundly spanked. It improves their focus on the court! This is New Orleans Pelican Anthony Davis getting his naughty ass spanked on the floor of a locker room. This reportedly took place in the University of Kentucky locker room during Davis’ freshman year.
Before someone starts screaming “hazing” or “bullying”, please watch the Vine and note that Davis appears to be having a blast. It’s not like he’s being raped while unconscious. Yes, bullying and hazing is awful. Unless everyone is into it. Or it’s naked. That’s fine, right?

Even though I am finding Glee pretty much unwatchable these days, I still cannot completely bring myself to cut the Chord.
