The Internet and The Lies

The internet. We can browse through Facebook, Tweet or watch that video everyone is talking about on Youtube. We can finish homework and then switch over and finish American Horror Story on Netflix.

We can also watch porn. Don't sit there and tell me you've never seen it. Half of America watches it on a daily basis. It is a almost normal thing to do.

But the thing with porn is, it's very unrealistic. And I know that's evident. We want to see what we can't have. Do thing's we can't do.

Does porn make us want something more? Something other than the normal sex between loved ones?If so, why?

Check out the numerous situation's a porno can have. You have the plumber "Fixing your pipes." The doctor and nurses. A innocent school girl, with a unnatural skirt length, who gets called into the office.

Look at the stars. Many of the woman have huge chests with shining blonde hair. Most of the men have nice ripped ab's, and other things.......
They have names no one can think off. Many of which are state names. Mhm...Weird.

Is this why we watch porn? Is the blonde, big breasted woman a fantasy for straight men? They watch porn to escape from their lives and their not so hot wife? Do women want their husband's to be this gorgeous hunk with tanned skin and a twelve pack? One who can fix the sink and them?

And what's with that 80's disco, jogging music? Does anyone even pay attention to the music?

Target Abuse

This post has nothing to do with Gay's, just something I witnessed. 

Since I got finished with class early and my roommate was out of the apartment, I decided to go shopping. The only stores near me are Publix and Target. I decided to go to the latter. Target or in other words, a middle class Walmart, or in other other words a store I cannot afford.

As I drifted through the aisles of over priced merchandise, $23 for two pairs of silk pillowcases, I ran into a small child. He looked up at me, like I was some sort of giant. In his hand he held a dog toy, a rubber duck. 

The child's mother, wearing her mom jeans and purple sneakers ran up to us. She grabbed him by the arm, apologized to me, and said "Don't you ever run away like that again. Don't make me spank you." 

Is spanking still around? Do parents still punish their children by hitting them? 

My parents never hit my sister or I. They placed me in my room for "time out" but I still had my toys. I would imagine parents in this day and age, would think of countless more things to do to punish a child. 

You see kids,young kids, walking around the mall, with their cellphones and their snapbacks talking about this game and that game. 

Why not take away electronics-cell phones, consoles? Why resort to hitting a child for bad behavior? 

Back when I was a kid I wasn't allowed out of the house till tenth grade. Even then, I had to call my mom every twenty minutes. 

When do we cross that line separating abuse from discipline? Who draws that line?

Top or Bottom

There are many questions a gay man can ask himself. Question's like: Who is my favorite fashion icon? Am I really a Little Monster? I wonder what expansive shoes I'll wear today? But there is one that we cannot escape.

"Do you Top or Bottom?" It's almost like asking "How big are you?" 

We've heard this many times, either from friends or potential loved ones, and each time we take a pause. Not sure how to answer. We don't want to piss off the guy we've been stalking for six months and do you really want your friends to know? 

I, personally, hate this question. Partially because I've never had the chance to try it out. And also, because it's seen as a private matter. Only two people should really know the answer to this question. You and your partner. 

Does being a main Top make you a better person than being a main Bottom? Main top meaning you only top and main bottom meaning you're the bottom bitch, always is and will be. 

But can it destroy something once so special? 
Imagine this: you just got finished with your dinner date. He took you to a nice, expansive restaurant on the other side of town. You've had a few laughs and drinks. The waiter comes with the check. He instantly puts his hand over it. "I got it,"he tells you. He places his plastic into the slot and hands it over to the waiter. "What do you like?" he asks. You look at him. This was the beginning of the meal. 
"Top or bottom?" Instantly the dinner date is over. Ruined. He buttered you up only wanting one thing. 

This has also become a way of greeting over the gay community. Log onto Grindr. If you already have one, just know I don't trust you. Every guy on there is only after one thing. And the first thing they ask when they message you is....

But, I do have to say, It can be seen as something....Beautiful. You feel safe with your loved one, and maybe, just maybe, you'll switch positions. 

But make sure he takes you out to dinner first.
