Sex and the Second City

Secluded Places

Secluded places are great because they allow you to do things erotic or dangerous.  A private booth in a restaurant, or a nook in a library are perfect places to cop a feel, steal a kiss, or engage in a quick fuck.

Hesitance

In a city with so many options, its so easy to sit at home and let various events, people, dates, and activities whip right past you. 

I have been talking to one of my electronic friends in Atlanta who kinda sorta dated a guy--but not really.  The guy moved on to someone else, and now my Atlanta e-buddy laments what he calls rejection.  He doesn't move on.  He is stuck.  Afraid of rejection, afraid to get involved with someone else.

The Right Stuff

What ever happened to The New Kids On The Block?  One minute you are the hottest boy band in the world and then poof, you're Jordan Knight trying hard for a solo career.  What is up with stardom and drifting off into obscurity?  And it seems like the come back is getting harder and harder to attain.  Just ask the other boy band, The Backstreet Boys (who I must add I really used to like).

Switchboard Connections

Looking back at the previous guys that SWITCH had hooked me up with, I shouldn't have been surprised when he introduced me to The Blob and his stomach.

Switchboard

A few days ago I was on Men4Now doing my usual i-surf, when I got a message from a light chunky forty-something brother that said, Is this Bernard?  You need to hurry up and give me your telephone number!

The Old Man and The Orgy

If you live in an urban jungle like Chicago long enough, you will likely run into a guy like SWITCH.  At 5'8", a dumpy 175 pounds, and in his early forties, one would never guess that SWITCH was a switchboard--a guy who knows almost every gay man in the city. One big old network. 

Fickle

I tuned in to Showtime last night to watch the premier episode of the Final Season of Queer Ass As Folk.  This is one of those shows that I could really stand to do without--but everytime a new episode is on, I find myself in front of the television absorbed.

Why?

Like a Virgin (pt. 2)

I made it through the wilderness.  Somehow I made it through...the bus, the long train, and the quick cab ride.  I had arrived on the northside to Webster Place (1471 W. Webster Ave.) to see the release of The Revenge of the Sith.  I met up with my oldest brother in the crowded movie theater filled with light saber wielding weirdos, people wearing Yoda masques, and girls dressed up like Princess Leia.

In case you didn't know, The Sex has a family.  As I've mentioned, there is a Mother Bradshaw who saw that I took dance lessons that in some way probably contributed to me being gay (just kidding mama).  But there are also the brothers Bradshaw.  In a recent conversation with the senior, and oldest brother we got on the discussion of my being gay.  My big brother is of the opinion that I chose to be gay, and I think he felt/feels that all that is needed is some really good pussy to set his little brother straight.

Hurray

There is cause to celebrate.

Over the weekend, Sex and the Second City received its 50,000th hit.

That's pretty hot for a blog that started back in early December. Why it seems like only yesterday that we were at 25,000.  Here's to the next 50!
