The Soul of Masculinity: The Self Portrait

What my Blog is about?

Okay I started this blog to express my views on the gay male physique, lifestyle and everything that goes with it, form going shirtless in public to why men do the things they do.

I hope to get people interested in helping me create an awearness regarding the attitude that society has towards self image and different lifestyles.

We should be able to do the things that make us happy and not try to conform to the needs and standards of others, life has given us the oppertunity to experience certain things, so why waste time with things that is destroying mans ability to be happy.

Within these pages I hope to bring across points and views that will make people see that some of the things we are doing are destructive, a waste of time, just plain dumb and on the flip side, things that we can be proud of, that improve the quality of life and makes us all better people.

This blog is directed at all people interested in all the various lifestyles the make up the GBLT community, so please feel free to join and share your thoughts and point of views.

If there is anything offensive within these pages please feel free to contact me and I will correct it as soon as possible.

Hope you enjoy the information, pictures and video in the pages, and that you find it funny, interesting and useful.

The Self Portrait

So you looking for the perfect mate or that steamy one nightstand, but you do not feel like getting all dressed up and leaving the house tonight so you decide to look for love or lust on the internet.

So you start by searching for dating sites and find one that you like because their are beautiful pictures of gorgeous people that is most likely not even members on the site, but you still deside to join. You click on the sign-up button. You enter you nickname as "Hot10"Boy", but you know you are only 8" and you have not been a boy for nearly 15 years.

You get to the "Tell us something about yourself" you try to be mysterious and put something like - "If you want too know, drop me a line and find out for yourself"-

Okay so you have completed your profile now you have to upload a picture. You read that your profile will get more action if you have a picture on it. You go through all your pictures on your P.C. and you realise that you have nothing "sexy" to upload. You decided to take some to upload.

You get out your trusty carmera. You first run around the house looking for the best mirror to take the photo's in. You start of modestly with some smiles and different posses. Then looking at them you realise they are boring, or that the reflection of the flash has cover most of your face. So you decided to go to the best lit room in the house the bathroom. You close the door and take off your shirt. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you start to notice the small inperfections with yourself so you decide to take a lot of photo at different angles so that they are not obvious.

You start enjoying yourself and think that it is a great idea to have some naked pics of yourself to share with that naughty lusty lover you plan on meeting on the dating site tonight. The thought sends blood rushing to you member and you get some really nice pics of your member. Using something something in the bathroom to help future lovers realize the size of your member you grab the shaving cream and hold it next to your extended member. You then decide to be honest and change your nickname to "Hot8"Boy".

Okay you now have enough pics of yourself and you upload it to your computer. Since you started 3 hours have passed and you have yet to share a word with anybody. Okay so you have uploaded your favourite pics to your profile, you hit create.

You verify your e-mail address and you eagerly start searching through the 1000s of members. For the first time you get to see what other members pictures look like an you realise that yours is very poor quality and compared to other members and you wonder how they get the naughty pics without someone taking them. Then the tought hits you......the camera timer....DUH!!!!

Sites like Guys With iPhones have proven that the mirror pic isn't always that bad, but when taking self-portraits it's imperative that we remember that the ten-second timer is our best friend. If you own a digital camera and aren't familiar with this technological revolution, consult your manual or fool around until you discover the timer function. Found it? Now get ready to show off your sexy side.
When cruising the world of Manhunt, AdultFinder, etc. it's important that you feel confident. Having pictures you're proud of will help, and you definitely don't need a professional photographer to look smokin' hot. You can get shots of yourself in some rather sexy positions by simply placing the camera on an end table and sitting or lying on your bed.
Instead of taking a photo in the mirror, try using the timer and placing the camera away from the mirror facing you. You'll immediately be able to see whether a particular pose works for you and can adjust accordingly.
The best part? You're not wasting anyone's time but your own. You can take as many shots as you want and decide later which ones are the best. You can even try rotating a bunch of the pics and see which ones get the best reply.
You know your body better than anyone else, so with a little trial and error, experimentation with angles and a trusty timer... you'll be on your way to getting some ass faster than you can say "How big are you?
