Sex and the Second City

Pewter Medal Memories

I have been blessed with a great memory.  And it just so happens that some of my fondest memories are of the Olympic Games.  I began my trip down Olmypic memory lane this morning while listening to the news.  Today the US Olympic Committee is visiting Chicago in order to evaluate its bid to be the American candidate host city for the 2016 Summer Games.  Earlier this week they visited Philadelphia.  Last year, New York City made the short list of five cities before London beat out Paris for 2012 games.

People are thinking that the NYC won't even be chosen as the American city this second time.  And Chicago is leading an all out campaign.  And there are a few people who think that Chicago will make the backdrop for some great Olympic memories.

I was standing outside of NARKY's apartment.  I was looking down at a short dark, well-dressed guy.  I had come over his apartment this afternoon for a lunch fuck.  Before I arrived, I was worried about my looks and my own vanity--I didn't know whether I would be cute enough to be invited into the aparment.  Standing outside his apartment and looking at his face, I felt a bit more confident.

If there were a 21st century symbol of vanity, it would be a gay man.

Today's sex news has a number of stories about small penises. Read on:

The Definitive Guide to Anal Sex

If you know the person connected to this ass--Bernard Bradshaw has a reward for you--seriously!

I am starting a new thingy on Thursdays.  In order to keep me sane, I am going to limit my stories to Mondays thru Wednesday--and on Thursday's I am going to have a sex tip of the week.  Hopefully this will help me maintain a small amount of sanity.

This week's sex tip is all about anal sex.  I have talked about this before in previous posts--but for some reason this is HANDS DOWN the number one question I get asked is, I am new to anal sex, how can I get started without it hurting?  So I figured that I would pour all of my zen into one post, so that there would be ONE place to go to get some sound advice.

Of course, feel free to add comments, and to add your own tips.  Its an art afterall, not a science.  Here goes.

The Kissing Game

Jaye Davidson as Dil in the motion picture, The Crying Game

Earlier this week I asked whether I was a freak.  And based on a recent encounter, I think the jury is in. 

I am not.

The Return (pt 2)

I was out for revenge.  After speaking brazilian portuguese, shaving my head and face and dressing like a 1990s euro trash german spy, I was standing in front of TRACY's house.  Wondering whether he would recognize me as the guy he sent away from his home three weeks ago after he doublebooked. 

I rang the doorbell.  He opened the door.

The Gospel of Star Jones

It's one of my favorite lines in the movie, Waiting To Exhale.  When the daughter of Bernadine (Angela Bassett) asks her, "Mama, what's a freak?"  Bernadine is partially distracted as she reads a letter from a previous love affair.  The young girl keeps asking her questions, "Is it a bad word?"

It's no surprise she didn't know what a freak was--it seems like nobody knows what it means.

Everybody loves a good comeback story.  We see life and popular culture littered with them.  America's first president to be treated like a black man (in some respects) was named the Comeback Kid when he placed second in the Democratic New Hampshire primaries in 1992.  Movies like the Karate Kid and Cinderella Man are filled with comeback stories. And everyone is still in awe that Mariah Scarey Carey staged the comeback of the millenium with her mega-hit album The Emancipation of Mimi.  The music industry had all but stuck a fork in her and called her done.

So therefore, it is with great happiness that I announce that I, Bernard Bradshaw, have made a comeback to the world of blogging.

Blocking Blessings

Although I know she didn't create the phrase, Patti LaBelle introduced me to the quote, Don't Block the Blessings.  It's the title of a book that she wrote and I really think that it is appropriate as we navigate through life.

When it comes to sex and relationships, people block the blessings all the time.  I have scores of female friends who are exposed to tons of successful, intelligent men--but until Jesus Christ himself steps up to them--they don't seem interested.  It's as if a guy isn't perfect, they don't want to be bothered with him.

I've always said, It's the overparticular one's that end up all alone. 

In an effort to get what we think we want, we create high (and sometimes foolish) standards that oftentimes block us from getting the very thing we need or desire.
