I just can’t stop taking pictures of boys. I LOVE BOYS. Gay
ones, straight ones, skinny ones, fat ones… all of ’em. I try to
shoot photos of pretty girls from time to time, but they never turn
out. Not like my boys. A nice lady who recently opened a neat new art
gallery asked me if I’d like to have a photography show. I said yes. So
conflict of interest be damned: I just wanted to tell you, real
quick, if you also like boys, maybe you should come. Opening night
promises music, libations, and a half-naked rooster serving hot
dogs

  1. She’s enjoying one of the pluses of being a straight female. Men on the whole don’t mind being objectified so women can do so freely and openly. However, women have to constantly put up with being viewed as a piece of meat by 90%+ of men they encounter. That gets really old especially if you have a lot more to offer. Pluses and minuses.

  2. Boys are gross. I don’t know how gay men and straight women can do it (them). Luckily for me (a married straight male) they (particularly straight women) can.

    I feel the exact same way about girls. Ick. Girl parts are totally nasty – unbelievable that most men (and even some girls?!) find them appealing. Lucky for me (a straight female), most men can’t get enough of the stuff. I totally get the gay male repulsion though.

  4. @6 god. i can’t imagine fucking someone that thinks their own genitals are revolting. lucky for you, men will fuck you regardless of your self-esteem.

    Yes, I find my genitals completely unappealing, but I have an excellent self-esteem. Sorry to disappoint you. And don’t you worry, I have the pick of the litter when it comes to men. Definitely no problems in that department.

  6. I live on the other side of the world right now where it’s not even Saturday night! …But you probably don’t — hahaha. Joke’s on you!

  7. Am I the only one who finds the picture used to advertise this event completely revolting? I mean, I am a straight dude, but I can still appreciate a picture of a hot guy. And he probably is. But with a creepy mask and ketchup on his chest? It’s just ewwy.
