Standin’ on the corner, watchin’ all the bare-chested marathon runners go by…

Somewhere that’s green.

Happy International Jockstrap Appreciation Day! (Conveniently falling on #FCF)

I need more Mondays like this.

Blue, gold and green today

I’m not usually a thong guy, but it’s the wearin’ o’ the green today, and this was crying out to be shown off. #cellblock13 ☘️

The buns were perking nicely this day, so happy #JockstrapFriday! #cin2

San Diego County, 2019 #TBT

Truly enjoying a most adorable series of m/m books, but the dangling modifiers are driving me to distraction.

There’s no chance “I couldn’t find my underwear after lunch” will fly as an excuse for getting back late to work, is there?

Bootlicking bots on Rotten Tomatoes have driven the audience Popcornmeter score on the critically lambasted “Melania” up to 99%. One wonders what the going rate is per fawning review.

Monochrome Mundies #mcm

I've been instructed not to nut today and y'all are making this a serious challenge. #fcf

Palm Springs, 2016 #TBT

We Southern Californians who consider +40 degrees to be unbearably cold salute the people of Minneapolis.

Am I really wearing a jockstrap to today’s all-company meeting? Why yes, yes I am. #HumpDay

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. “‘Folks,’ in the sense of ‘parents,’ ‘family,’ ‘those present,’ is colloquial and too folksy for formal writing.”

Wouldn’t ya know, I finally got my pants down two waist sizes just in time for the world to start thirsting for hockey butt.

This rare #FCF entry is for the kind gentleman who wanted to see how things progressed from last week's sauna session.

Happy Hump Day from the archive.

Is #JockstrapFriday still a thing? #cellblock13

Happy Monochrome Monday. Join me in the sauna?

New Year’s quasi-resolution to spend more time naked at home is already being challenged by the husbear’s insistence on keeping the windows open. In January.

Since it appears to be the thing to do here at New Year’s, here’s my favorite nude of 2025.

See a bulge, post a bulge

Let he among you who has not jerked off with a buddy during "Heated Rivalry" throw the first hockey puck.

It’s very simple: You show up to the family Christmas gathering wearing a MAGA hat, you shouldn’t expect me to engage in conversation with you.
