High Level 16% of Gay Sex for Iranian Men

A new study from an Iranian sociologist reveals a high level of gay encounters amongst men in a (supposedly) sexually-repressed and homophobic Iran ...

Acts of homosexuality are punishable by death in Iran and the nation's leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad famously said homosexuality didn't exist in the country.

Masturbation, which is also illegal (good luck policing that), is enjoyed by 73 percent of men and 26 percent of women, according to the study by sociologist Parvaneh Abdul Maleki.

The study, reported in the Iranian press as a study of sexual 'deviance', shows that 16 percent of men have had at least one gay experience, while 4 percent of Iranians had been in a gay relationship.

Since the Islamic revolution in 1979, it's estimated that between 3,000 and 4,000 people have been executed after being charged with participating in gay acts.

Gay for Pay Aaron James on Tyra Banks Jan 22

Jet Set exclusive Aaron James a self-described "gay for pay" porn star, will sit down with talk show hostess Tyra Banks Thursday to discuss what it's like to be paid to have sex with other men on camera while otherwise maintaining a heterosexual life.

James, the star of such Jet Set titles as Jock Tease, Ass Cruisin' with Aaron James, Hollywood Sex Club and On Fire!, is expected to talk about the tension his career choice creates in his relationships with women. He also is expected to talk about the conflicts his film career has caused with his family.

Fellow Jet Set model Kurt Wild (Proven Straight), who made news of his own last year when he was fired from his job as an assistant manager at a fast-food restaurant after a customer complained about his career in porn, also will appear on the show. Wild, who is married with two small children, recently said that while he was excited about his appearance, it was difficult to talk on national TV about the effects his porn career have had on his life and family.

Both James and Wild have performed in videos for Jet Set Men's Straight Edge Web series, which often focuses on performers who maintain or appear to maintain a "straight" life outside of porn.

The Emmy Award-winning Tyra Banks Show, now in its third season, is syndicated nationwide on local broadcast stations covering 95 percent of the media markets in the U.S. The show also is shown on the Oxygen cable network.

Crazy Right Wing calls for Boycott Pepsi and Campbells

Ultra-right-wing "family values" organization the American Family Association earlier this month issued a call for its members to boycott food megaliths PepsiCo and Campbell's Soup Company.

"Many people aren't aware that when their school participates in [the] Campbell's ‘Labels for Education' program, they are supporting a company that has openly come out in support of homosexual marriage, and it has no intentions of stopping that support," the alert about Campbell's noted Jan. 12. "Many of the schools that participate don't know that Campbell's supports the homosexual publication The Advocate with advertising. The Advocate is a leading promoter of same-sex marriage."

As for PepsiCo, AFA is outraged by the soft-drink bottler's mandate that all employees attend sexual orientation sensitivity training. In addition, within the past two years the company has donated $500,000 each to the Human Rights Campaign and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. Both HRC and PFLAG supported efforts in California to defeat controversial Proposition 8, a ballot initiative which defined marriage as one man and one woman. Challenges to the California state constitutional amendment, which passed, are now working their ways through the court system.

According to an action alert at the AFA website, "the [$1 million] was to be used to help promote homosexuality in the workplace."

In fact, according to PepsiCo, the money was given by the benevolent PepsiCo Foundation to improve diversity awareness. Nevertheless, the AFA views PepsiCo's largesse as "refusal to remain neutral in the culture war."

"Pepsi refuses to give money to any pro-family organization that opposes the homosexual agenda," an AFA spokesman said. "Plus, every homosexual organization we know of is overwhelmingly pro-abortion."

In the case of both companies, AFA has asked all members to sign and distribute a boycott pledge, complain to the manufacturer's representative nearest them and write to the chairman of each company's board of directors. In addition, AFA wants all members to insist schools stop participating in Campbell's Labels for Education program, which provides equipment to schools in exchange for proofs of purchase of Campbell's products.

In the past, AFA-organized anti-gay boycotts have targeted American companies like hamburger chain McDonald's and Disney resorts. In response, McDonald's declined to renew its membership in the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, but Disney declined to cave in to the organization's demands.

PepsiCo manufactures brands including Pepsi, Tropicana, Frito-Lay, Quaker and Gatorade. Campbell's manufactures Swanson, Prego, Pepperidge Farm and V-8, among other brands.

Sweden Set For Gay Marriage

Sweden looks set to join the gay marriage party in May this year, with most of the country's multi-party governing coalition coming to an agreement ...

Three of the four parties in the governing coalition have tabled a motion that is expected to pave the way for gay marriage in Sweden from May 1.

The Alliance government had been split over the issue with a lesser party, the Christian Democrats, caught up in semantics over the use of 'marriage' as a word.

However the three other parties, the conservative Moderates, the Liberals and the Centre Party, favour a gender neutral law that eliminates the current reference to marriage as something between a man and a woman.

"Regardless of sexual orientation, people in stable couple relationships have a need to manifest their feelings and their desire to live together," the motion reads.

Gay couples getting married, like straight couples, would be allowed to choose between a civil ceremony and a church ceremony under the proposed laws.

The Lutheran Church, separated from the state in 2000 and the church of 74 percent of Swedes, has since January 2007 offered gays a religious blessing of their union, but wanted to reserve 'marriage' for straights.

If the new legislation is adopted, Sweden, already a pioneer in giving same-sex couples the right to adopt children, would become the first country in the world to allow gays to marry within a major church.

Civil unions granting gays and lesbians the same legal status as married couples have been allowed in Sweden since 1995.

Portland Gay Mayor Apologises For Teen Affair Lie

Portland mayor Sam Adams, 45, has publicly apologised for lying about his affair with a then 18-year-old intern in 2005, saying he would be prepared to resign ...

"I screwed up. I blew it. There's no way to sugarcoat it," Adams said during a news conference at Portland City Hall.

Adams had a big win in the 2008 election, making Portland the largest American city to elect an openly gay mayor. He was sworn in January 1.

While the new mayor said he had no plans to resign, he was open to the possibility: "If it were no longer in the city's best interests that I stay, yes, I would resign."

Rumours of a relationship between the then city commissioner and "a minor" surfaced as Adams was preparing for his mayoral campaign.

At the time he denied the allegations, explaining now that he didn't think people would believe him if he said he had waited until intern Beau Breedlove's 18th birthday to commence the relationship.

He said there's a stereotype that gays seek out underage children.

"In fact, Beau encouraged me to be honest about the facts of our relationship," Adams said. "I am deeply sorry that I asked him to lie for me."

Adams stressed the issue is about a public official lying, not sexual orientation, and he would work to regain the public's trust.

"I will be subject to greater scrutiny because of this, and that is appropriate," he said.

"My reputation has been impacted. Friendships have been impacted, and that's appropriate as well."

Jeana Frazzini of Basic Rights Oregon, the state's largest gay rights organisation, said there was disappointment within the gay community, but: "Our main concern is that we hope gay politicians who come after Sam don't turn out to be failures because of individuals who came before."

There are now calls for an investigation, some of those voices are people who supported Adams during the 2005 allegations.

Tom Hanks Blasts Mormons As 'Un-American'

Hollywood actor Tom Hanks has lashed out over Prop 8, calling the push to ban gay marriage in California by the Mormon church "un-American" ...

Hanks says, "The truth is that a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop 8 happen. There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American and I am one of them."

"I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper in any of the 50 states in America."

"A little bit of light can be shed and people can see who's responsible and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting constitution and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let's have faith in not only the American, but Californian constitutional process."

Hanks produces the TV series Big Love, which focuses on a polygamous Mormon family. Hanks himself has referred to polygamy as a "bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church."

Boy George's Jail Hell

The chubby former Culture Club lead singer, now sporting a crew cut, spent his first day in prison today.

Insiders told London’s The Sun that the pop star was “shaking like a leaf” before he entered the jail house, fearing he would be killed for being gay.

While in a court cell on Friday a fellow inmate said: “He kept sobbing, ‘I can’t go to jail, I’ll be killed’.”

The inmate said he was warned: “Don’t talk to (George), he’s a batty boy (homosexual).”

Another inmate claimed: “They’ve put him in a cell with a big Jamaican guy called "Dread" to protect him and there is always a guard close by.”

But the inmate added: “A celeb is a celeb in here. People love fame. Everyone remembers Culture Club.”

George, real name George O’Dowd, scoffed down microwaved fish and chips and mushy peas and sat in his cell writing on scraps of paper.

It’s a far cry from his head days in the ‘80s when the Do You Really Want To Hurt me singer commanded a superstar reception wherever he went.

George was jailed for shackling Norwegian Audun Carlsen, 29, to a hook at his flat in London before thrashing him with a chain.

Spiderman creator's new teen hero hiding super powers and homosexuality

Cartoon creator Stan Lee is in the process of developing the world's first gay superhero for a new television show.

The character, reportedly the son of another superhero, is a high school student called Thom Creed.

He will be forced to hide not only his growing superhuman powers, but also the fact that he is gay.

Stan Lee is responsible for some of the world's best-loved superheroes including Spiderman and X-Men.

The story will be based on the book Hero, written by Perry Moore, who is also writing the script for the show.

Doc Johnson Releases the Titanmen "Wreckd’em"

Doc Johnson has released its latest anal probe, Wreckd’em.
The product is being released as part of the partnership with gay content producer TitanMen.

The Wreckd’em is a seven-inch anal probe with a ribbed shaft of varying circumference — seven inches on the peaks and five-and-a half inches in the valleys. The design is accented by the combination of all-black matte and glossy finishes and a pearl-blue bulbous base.

The TitanMen collection is made in the U.S. from thermoplastic rubber and features Doc Johnson’s anti-bacterial Sil-A-Gel formula. TitanMen Titanium silicon-based lube is included with each toy.

“The positive feedback we’ve received from consumers and retailers regarding our TitanMen toys is a true testament to the research, development and dedication that went into this line,” said Chad Braverman, Doc Johnson’s director of product development and licensing. “This new addition to the collection will provide TitanMen fans an unparalleled experience in pleasure.”

Raging Stallion'To the Last Man' Sells Out in Record Time

To The Last Man - Part 1 The Gathering Storm 2-Disc Set. Evan Loved this Wesstern themed movie and gave it his highest splats to date. They have already sold out the first run (5,000 units) 11 months ahead of expectations.

"We are astounded at the demand for this film," Raging Stallion president Chris Ward said. "Normally a 5,000-unit run will last eight to twelve months, even for a hit movie. The numbers being seen on To the Last Man orders are extraordinary - significantly stronger even than Grunts, which was our top-selling movie of 2008."

Raging Stallion has placed an emergency re-order and expects wholesale shipping to resume by Jan. 16. Retailers and customers who ordered the movie on or before Jan. 12 will see their orders arrive on time, Ward said.

"We have not seen numbers like this since Arabesque three years ago," he said. "Customer feedback has been outstanding, and I think word of mouth is really getting out there."

Ward said he believes a national advertising campaign now hitting both coasts should boost sales even further.

A Hollywood-style red carpet premiere is scheduled for next Jan. 21, and several calendars and books about the movie are expected to debut next month.

Scientology Nightmare

Imagine that you are exercising your free speech rights by protesting against an anti-gay ministry by picketing one of their centers. Now imagine that you protests are being stopped because the "church" has found out that one of your fellow protesters is HIV positive. 'Evan, you're crazy,' you might say. I may be but I'm not wrong.

Boston's Edge magazine reports that Scientology (the anti-gay religion of the 20th century!) obtained private records of several of the protesters at "Gold Base," the international headquarters. "Scientology lawyers are advocating that the presence of the two HIV-positive men presents a threat to the well-being of the alleged 500 workers at the Base, and is seeking to restrict protests." 'Disgusting' is the old word that comes to mind.

In lighter news, listen to our next podcast when Paulie reviews the new "E-meter sex machine," pictured above.

HBO's Sexpert Makes Predictions for Adult, Sex in 2009

If one Hollywood sex expert is to be believed, 2009 ought to be a great year for sex as well as the adult industry.

Mike Alvear, host of HBO's show “The Sex Inspectors” has made five predictions about sex in the coming year, and they point toward a bad economy that will force people to find more to do at home due to a bad economy.

“Call it recession sex,” he said. “If you're coupled, you're going to spend more time at home and at some point that TV's got to be turned off. The nesting impulse will increase your resting pulse. That's the good news. The bad? As discretionary income goes down, indiscretions go up. Oops. If you're single, you'll have the time but not the money to fritter away at bars. You won't wait for the last-call yard sale so you'll probably lower the bar to increase your odds.”

Alvear invoked porn pioneer Larry Flynt in his appraisal of the adult industry’s chances in 2009.

“Larry Flynt once said, ‘There are two kinds of people who oppose porn. Those who don't know what they're talking about and those who don't know what they're missing,’” Alvear said, arguing that the mainstream of adult entertainment will continue on its current trajectory. The worlds of art, fashion and media will all feel a growing influence from adult entertainment.

2nd Gay Employee Fired From Same Tennessee Hotel

Remember the gay Hotel employee fired for being gay. Well, his colleague who spoke out about it has been fired too. And guess what! He's gay too ...
We told you the other day about hotel employee David Hill allegedly being fired because he was gay by hotel owner Tarun Surti, who obviously isn't too au fait with the whole 'the hotel industry is full of gays' situation.

Another employee, Leonard Stoddard, who worked with Hill at the hotel in the US state of Tennessee spoke out to the media about Hill's apparent homophobic firing the other day.

Turns out Stoddard's gay too. Oh, and Surti just fired him as well.

Surti emailed Stoddard saying, "I am here in the office and shocked to hear what you had said to the media. If it is true that you told media that David was fired because he is gay, you obviously told them a lie. Such behavior is subject to immediate termination and I would like you to restrain (sic) from coming to the hotel."

A protest is planned to take place outside the hotel in Brentwood this Saturday at 9am.

Gay Bishop Invited To Obama Inauguration

After the controversial invite to anti-gay pastor Rick Warren to speak at President-elect Obama's inauguration, gay bishop gets a nod ...
The world's first openly gay bishop has been invited along to Obama inauguration day celebrations.

The Right Reverend Gene Robinson will offer a prayer at the Lincoln Memorial during next week's opening ceremony.

While the move is likely to make conservative members of the Anglican Church a little peeved, it's likely to go some way in appeasing gay people outraged at Warren's inclusion.

Anglicans worldwide have been grappling with the issue of gay clergy over the past few years, and Robinson's appointment as bishop almost six years ago has been a central issue in the argument threatening to tear the church apart.

Robinson told CNN that while he did not yet know what he was going to say during his prayer, he described the opportunity as "a remarkable and humbling thing to have happened."
