Do I remember Cody West! The first time I ever walked into a gay bookstore (Drake's Melrose, in Los Angeles; no longer open), I was greeted by this man on the cover of Advocate Men. I purchased that magazine and cherished it for several years before giving my entire magazine collection.
Pete, that is so funny. I bought that same magazine during the summer after law school while I was studying for the Bar (I passed). Everytime I see him, I think of the Bar Exam (unfortunately). But he is still one of the hottest Black Men I have ever seen. I think that issue of Advocate Men was called The Black Issue. I wish I still had my copy too.
I am 42 years old, 5'10", 192 lbs. of solid muscle. I keep a demanding 5x/wk gym schedule and work with a trainer and a nutritionist. I am as interested in how much a man squats and leg presses as I am in how much he bench presses. (I have a crippling weakness for men with great legs.) My personal tastes are as follows, in no particular order: uncut men; beefy, hairy men; and black men.
I love the art of male nude photography. I also love to write, and will be using this blog to publish various short stories and features. While I enjoy blogs that feature endless reams of naked men, I have a great appreciation for those blogs that offer some commentary or attempt to provoke a memory. As gay men, we all have vivid recollections of coming to terms with our sexuality. I want to be one of those blogs that provokes those thoughts and a place where men can share their experiences with other men.
