Underlining by FuelMix:

Hi,

I would like to share with you a video about the introduction of Club Houzz Sauna.
Hope this could help westerners knowing more about Club Houzz.

UPDATE 28 December 2013 - Sent in by a reader:

LOL! I loved this...........

I could clearly understand him saying, "Let's go." The coke can was a great visual prop clearly acknowledging the globalized sophistication of this place. Good eye contact on the part of the narrator/guide, and I was charmed by the twin 'v-signals' with his fingers! 

I admit it: I've never been to a place like this. Never. I thought this was a hilarious video. As a "Westerner" I could use a good laugh. By the way, he looks good in plaid.

Duck Fucked

The Scene

1.   The patriarch in a wildly popular family reality TV show "Duck Dynasty" aired in God's Own Country, is interviewed by GQ magazine. He declares his christian faith and states that in his opinion, vaginal sex is more desirable than male anal sex. He then talks about sin.

The actual quotes:

"It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.........

Q:  What in your mind is sinful?  

Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men,” he says. Then he paraphrases Corinthians: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.” 

-----What The Duck? by Drew Magarry, GQ, January 2014 quoting Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty"

2.   Gay activists pounce, shrieking wildly and issuing statements condemning the "vile" views expressed by the man. Demands are made that the man apologize, that the TV network that airs his reality show be boycotted and that the TV network take action against the man.

3.   The network suspends him from further participation in his family's reality show, citing damage to the network's brand and concerns raised by its gay employees.

4.   At the same time, there is a massive outpouring of support for the man and his views. There are threats to boycott the TV network if they take any action against the man or the show. Merchandise related to the show flies off the shelves.

5.   The family at the centre of the reality TV show threaten to walk away from the show now if any action is taken against the patriarch. They re-affirm their christian faith. The network owns the series and the intellectual property rights attached to that series for the upcoming 5th season.

6.   The network is caught in a dilemma:

• If they maintain their position against the patriarch, the family walks, they risk losing their highest rated show and incurring public anger;
• If they bring him back to the show, they risk looking weak and incurring public anger for removing him in the first place;
• If they axe the show after the 5th season, they'll still look weak and will have killed off a popular show and still incur public anger;

7.   Gay activists are stunned by the backlash they have received and have found themselves on the defensive.


Comment

Purrrr.....fect.......the Perfect Storm where freedom of expression meets freedom of religion, meets diversity and tolerance, meets family unity, meets shrieking gay activists, meets public backlash, meets "find-the-real-bigot"............

Somebody is really getting fucked this holiday season, but who and why......??


1.   Should He Have Been Interviewed by GQ...??

As much as GQ features pretty guys, FuelMix can barely understand shit what they publish. We can't figure out whether GQ is actually urban highbrow hip, or just plain incomprehensible and annoying. And if Phil Robertson is the evangelical christian Lousiana hick (a filthy rich one, apparently) what the hell were his minders (i.e. the TV network) thinking in consenting to an interview by GQ of all people....and then not controlling it properly??  It's unlikely that GQ readers are at the forefront of his fan base.

Bad decision, right there. 


2.   We're All Bigots - Face It

Robertson openly admits to bible-thumping and has a large christian following in God's Own Country. It's not surprising that any comments he makes in the contexts of morality and sin would be coloured by what he perceives as the dictates of his faith as contained in the Bible.

And there's a whole swathe of land in God's Own Country, including rural Louisiana where Robertson is located and Duck Dynasty is filmed, that is known as The Bible Belt. We suspect that   millions living there would express identical views. Exactly how does one propose to boycott them......?

Does that make Robertson a bigot or a homophobe? Hardly. He's simply using the Bible as his moral compass, even if his utterances sound quaintly archaic and faintly amusing. Whether or not a person professes a religion, every person operates from some level of morality.  It may be doctrinal, logical, intuitive (or even warped) but every person has it. In other words every person filters morality and sin through their own perceptual lens.

On the continuum of morality, everyone's a bigot. To assert that Robertson should be condemned for the non-violent assertion of his views, is more despicable than the views he actually expressed.


3.   Fags And Bestiality

Gay activists shrieked that Roberston equated gay sex to bestiality. That's not how we read the quote. It seems to us that he was talking about the inevitable extensions of "sin" as he defined it in a religious context. In other words, his examples were gradations of debauchery. If gay activists claim that he equated gay sex to bestiality, they also have to admit (as implied in Robertson's quote) that gay sex also equates to adultery and bisexuality which in many (closet) cases, it does.

And by the way, check these out:

"OOoh....aren't you a hot little puppy...??!!"
"Dude, you're humping my leg again...."
"You're just a horny dog...."
"Man....those two are fucking like animals"
" I wanna fuck him doggy style..."
"He's a real pig..."
"He likes to drink piss from the trough...."
"He's horse hung"
"He's a fuckin' stud"

Get it...??  Whether or not its admitted in polite company,  virtual bestiality, by metaphor or simile, is built into the faggot vocabulary.

So....um......why the outrage....??

From our perch halfway around the world, gay activists distorted and misconstrued Roberston's quote.


4.   How To Fuck Up As A Gay Activist

We've never been impressed by this crowd. They're listed in our Awkward Questions that triggered this blog. Their performance in the Robertson case can only be described as an utter fiasco, fully deserving of the backlash that they received.

There was:

• a failure to perceive - that a differing viewpoint expressed in a non-threatening religious context does not and could not equal hate. Freedom of expression and freedom of religion are concurrent liberties;
• a failure to engage - to rationally articulate that other segments of society are not strictly bound by religious doctrine and have a more open view on gays. 
• a failure to differentiate - to realize 2 fundamental non-constitutional rights that are actually universal: a person has the right to be homophobic (so long as it is not expressed in a threatening manner); and a person has the right to be supportive of gays;
• a failure to tolerate - a differing viewpoint.  This was the most galling aspect of their tactic. The gay activists were quite happy to screech so long as it resulted in somebody (whose view they didn't like) being silenced. This is the toxicity of Political Correctness - and is the reason why this blog refuses to be bound by politically correct thought and speech.

“I think that this intolerance by gay activists toward the full spectrum of human beliefs is a sign of immaturity, juvenility.......This is not the mark of a true intellectual life. This is why there is no cultural life now in the U.S. Why nothing is of interest coming from the major media in terms of cultural criticism.................

There is a dialogue going on human civilization, for heaven sakes. It’s not just this monologue coming from fanatics who have displaced the religious beliefs of their parents into a political movement.........And that is what happened to feminism, and that is what happened to gay activism, a fanaticism.”

The Return Of Raw

……..and other Goodies……..

Pssst…. fags……..bareback gay porn is making a comeback – and we mean a HUGE comeback.  Some gay porn companies on the West Coast of God’s Own Country, (FuelMix has done it in bold for a reason – see below) notably those specializing in college jock types, are openly demanding that their “actors” do bareback and, as they put it, step up their game.   

The vicarious fantasy market for gay bareback is massive and these studios have decided to compete with the established bareback gay porn producers like Dick Wadd and Treasure Island Media.

What about the howls of outrage from the politically correct?  Remember that law to force porn companies on the West Coast to use condoms?  Gay porn producers are well ahead of that one:  

1.  They move elsewhere.  

2.  They stay put, simply ignore the law and show bareback in all its glory.  

3.  They use a code………. reduce the close-up shots of penetration, but show the Top cumming on the Bottom’s asshole (frequently licking it up); or the Top will cum in the Bottom's mouth and he swallows it.  That’s the new indication that bareback was going on in the filming.

Interestingly, FuelMix saw that one gay sauna on the West Coast is introducing Bareback Nites.  They are taking their cue from bareback gay party sites like Cumunion  (as in religious “communion”…..get it….?) that stage large group bareback events up and down the West Coast and other cities in God’s Own Country with a large fag population.

Even more interesting, was a report in US News Weekly dated 13 February 2012 entitled, CDC Warns Untreatable Gonorrhea is On The Way.  The article pointed out that G has a long history of developing immunity to antibiotics.  It’s usually treated with cephalosporins but lately, resistant strains have shown up in…….western states of God’s Own Country – with nearly 5% of resistant G showing up in……….men who have sex with men. 

So what is actually happening is Convergence:

• Massive reductions in personal freedoms in God’s Own Country - and now spreading to Europe - paradoxically leads to the flouting of laws and personal risk taking in other areas of a person's life - especially sex;
• More str8 guys are going gay, bi-curious, gay-for-pay or showing up in gay saunas;
• A fucked up economy drives people to do anything for money;
• The porn industry based on the West Coast constantly needs new bodies to spit out;
• As people become financially desperate, the porn industry, already cut throat, will become more exploitative in order to compete;
• A fucked up economy leads to austerity measures and reductions in health care - with an increased cost of medical premiums;
• A fucked up economy and uneven purchasing power, drives down people’s health;
• Fags on the West Coast will be the new incubators of antibiotic- resistant sexual time bombs.  This will spread to the major cities in God’s Own Country with large fag populations (aided by a resurgent and defiant bareback culture) and those fags will spread it internationally.
• Fags will be told the good news that HIV is manageable or over, BUT the bad news is that your favourite social diseases are now resistant to antibiotics.

Of course, Pollyanna-Party-On-Stuck-In-Denial-Lamestream Gay Media will never have the sperm count to report this, much less have the perceptual acuity to spot the stunning conclusion that in the Big Picture, economically crippled western fags may be destined to share an immune system on par with the impoverished African nigga.

The definition of Third World will have to be reconsidered.

Slant-eyed fags aching for western cock, should know the difference between acquiring sense and chasing a sensation. Fucked up on Ketamine, Poppers, Crystal Meth and Crack (a lot of it coming from China), they’re not helping their case to begin with.  The chronically diseased, drug-fucked, drug-resistant western fag appearing at a bar / club  /sauna / Grindr app near you, is the harbinger of the future.

Hutong Sauna 8

2/F Kar Wong Building
639 - 645 Shanghai Street
Mong Kok
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR: Argyle Station, Exit A2

Tel: 2396 9595
Web: Hutong Sauna
Open 24 hours  

Received yesterday from an irate and thoroughly pissed off GWM:

I just wanted to write to you about today's upsetting experience at Hutong sauna. To start with, I am GWM, living in Hong Kong, 29 years old and what one calls gym fit. I never had ever any problems getting in and usually never get told off.

I had been about two weeks ago on a Tuesday to Hutong sauna and really liked the layout of the sauna. It should have been a naked party from 18.00 h to 22.00 but probably due to the lack of people (there were only about 15) it seems to have been cancelled. I still had fun with a few guys, even some when they saw a GWM suddenly ran away even [if] I was of course discreet. 

Today was Sunday [ 22 December 2013 ] and I thought why not spend a nice relaxing and cruisy afternoon at Hutong? I called a Chinese friend of mine who agreed to go to Hutong have fun together. 

When we arrived we pressed the door buzzer. As the door didn't open after 30 seconds, I pressed again and instead of the door opening, I was told that it is a "Members Only" club. I responded that I was there before, just the staff very unfriendly barked at me to "Go away!!"

My Chinese friend started to talk with the Hutong staff, explaining in Cantonese that I had been there before and that we both would like to get in. He later translated me that the Hutong staff told him that he, as a Chinese could come in of course, but he should get rid of the "Gweilo" they are not wanted in there. My friend got quite upset and said that the GWM is his best friend and only got back as answer: "Then its better you also don't come in if you are friends with a GWM".

In all the years, travelling around the world, I have never experienced such a xenophobic door policy anywhere. Neither me, nor my friends will ever go to Hutong again. This place is a shame for the gay scene where diversity should be the motto. 

After having a coffee to calm down, my friend and I decided to go over to Alexander, which was a fairly good experience. We enjoyed each other and also had group fun with a few hot guys. There were also 4 GWM there and no rejection was felt from the other visitors. 

Please post this blog entry on your site. I was very encouraged when I read some recent blog posts about Hutong sauna and that was the reason why I decided to visit it. Seems they only allow GWM in during the week and are happy to take their cash when its empty. During weekends, its Chinese only. Very sad. Definitely a place which is not worth to be on any gay map. 

FuelMix says: No comment. Thanks for the update.

Hazard Repellent

Fascinated readers are referred to an earlier post entitled Nocturnal Holding Pattern in which FuelMix described the global phenomenon of drug fucked fags hanging out late at night in gay chat rooms in their respective time zones, claiming to look for action.  They had turned the chat room into a drug drop-in centre.

FuelMix stumbled upon a corollary to this. It’s now mandatory for a fag putting up an online profile in a chat room late at night to specifically say “No Drugs” or “No chems” in order to prevent themselves getting pvtd by hordes of drug fucked fags – some of whom cannot even type coherently.

It really is a pathetic state of affairs that fag culture has come to this. It’s the online equivalent of fending off junk mail with a prohibitive declaration. What’s even sadder is the huge numbers of fags who transit between cyber and reality in a drug-fucked state of suspended animation.

And these are the fags who have the gall to whine about Gay Rights and Gay Pride when they don’t have a fuckin' clue which way up they’re facing…..

Talking to Adam 11

It's not the porn that gets me horny......it's something else.........

Yeah......like most gay dudes I surf porn. It's no big deal but it's really more of a time-killing exercise or when I just need to de-stress. I check out a few 3 or 4 minutes vignettes, but often I fast forward the thing.

I find I get real horny on the street, just checking guys out. Not cruising, just checking them out as I go from A to B.

I love looking at guys coming out of the gym.  Especially the hot, built ones still in their gym clothes. You can tell their muscles are still pumped and I'm wondering which body part they focused on today. If they're wearing gym shorts or track pants, I'm fixated on the muscular curve of their ass and hips as they walk through the crowds. It's the way their gym shorts or track pants hug their ass that gives me a boner right there in the middle of town. Some of the gyms around town have hunky and totally muscled personal trainers in sweat pants and tight T-shirts.  I'm pretty much ready to swoon when I see them......and I'm thinking........"are they all straight.....??"

Other times, I'm waiting to cross the street and this cute, manly dude will stand nearby waiting to cross too.  I'm looking at the way his T shirt shows his nipples, or whether his biceps are bulging through the sleeves, or whether his triceps are visible. Sometimes I just wanna lift his T-shirt and check out his abs..........maybe kiss his happy trail if he has one.........

Or, there's a guy leaning against the railing on the street corner. He might be waiting for somebody or talking on his mobile phone.  Some of them adopt a really sexy street-wise posture.  It's that whole body language and attitude thing goin' on..........and the next thing I notice is how muscular his thighs are and the bulge in his pants and I'm thinkin'.........."mmmmmm......!!........haaawt.....!!"

The MTR is a great place to check out guys.  You never know who's gonna step in at the next station. The students can be kinda cute, but it's the college guys, the basketball players and the athletes that really catch my eye.  One time a professional soccer player, still in his soccer gear, got in.  I didn't know his name but I'd seen his pictures in the papers.  He was fuckin' gorgeous and more built than his pictures.   I didn't bother getting off at my station.........I just stayed on, staring at him until he got off at his station.  Then I took the train back to mine.

The athletes and basketball players on the MTR can be quite photogenic and manly.  I love the ones with the hairy legs......"woof...!!".......always wonder how far up their legs the hair goes. Is their ass smooth or hairy.....? Which gym do they work out at?  If the guy is really cute, I'll move in closer to him to pick up a vibe, maybe make eye contact, or if I'm feeling really bold, start a conversation about his sport and if he works out.........then without warning softly drop a compliment about his body.  I love seeing his reaction........does he get flustered.....?. embarrassed......? make eye contact and smile........? I love the harmless wickedness in it........and make a hot guy's day at the same time.

The best place for me to check out college guys is Festival Walk.  It's right next to City U and the guys have to go through Festival Walk shopping mall to get to the MTR.  Whoa.....some of those college guys are really hot - and I think they know it.   They're definitely not all straight - and I suspect the straight ones can be flexible too.  The eye contact at Festival Walk is amazing, pretty much on every floor and it's a huge mall.  The guys are definitely checking each other out at the Hollister shop over there. I guess it's the dim lights that has something to do with it - and the fact that their male sales staff are hotties too. The times I've been in there, it felt pretty cruisy and I was walking around totally boned.  I chatted up a couple of customers in Hollister and discovered from them that the washrooms in Festival Walk are massively cruisy and attract guys from City U........apparently everybody knew.......except me.......

So, I guess what I'm saying is everytime I go downtown, it becomes a sensual experience for me.  Online porn doesn't do it for me as much as the real live eye candy. It's not as frustrating as cruising in the bar or in the sauna because I'm not looking to score. I'm just looking to get turned on. I've got a head full of memories and fantasies. It's the safest sex going.......and each time I go downtown, I know I'm gonna drool over somebody new.

I've made commuting fun.

Desperate Semantics

A reader in Vancouver who's been following our series entitled, Death of a Gay Ghetto, wrote to us:

Oh dear, so since the city is now working on a new West End plan, XtraWest [a gay publication] and businesses are now trying to call Davie Street - "Gaybourhood" because they think it should extend out past the street itself.......blah, blah, blah......

Still not offering anything new, just letting that old record skip.  Even some tryhards are posting on Facebook about going down to the "Gaybourhood".......blah, blah.......... 


FuelMix says:

1.    Let's start with the premise that there is firstly, the unadulterated English language and secondly, the entirely artificial Gay Politically Correct English Language which Faggotry would prefer to make compulsory, as part of its social and mind control agenda.

2.    Let's also assume that the contrast between the two, is analagous to that of a mother tongue (in this case, real English) and a foreign language (in this case, fag PC English - which Faggotry is imposing as the new mother tongue).

3.    Here's what is actually going on:

The commercial "gay core" of Vancouver (less than 2 blocks - and even that is not 100% gay - and shrinking) is rotting. A combination of turf wars, stifled competition, drugs, disease, the homeless, a lack of buying power, corruption and a lack of vision, has resulted in the "gay core"  being surrounded by creeping urban development. In other words, urban gentrification at the behest of str8 property developers

4.    Back in 2010, we came across an article about language influencing thought. We bookmarked it pursuant to a gut feeling we might refer to it at some point.  Underlining by FuelMix:

"Since there is no evidence that any language forbids its speakers to think anything, we must look in an entirely different direction to discover how our mother tongue really does shape our experience of the world. Some 50 years ago, the renowned linguist Roman Jakobson pointed out a crucial fact about differences between languages in a pithy maxim: “Languages differ essentially in what they must convey and not in what they may convey.” This maxim offers us the key to unlocking the real force of the mother tongue: if different languages influence our minds in different ways, this is not because of what our language allows us to think but rather because of what it habitually obliges us to think about."

-----Does Your Language Shape How You Think? by Guy Deutcher,  The New York Times Magazine, 26 August 2010.

5.    We've said it before that Politically Correct language (in this case, Gay PC English) not only sanitizes the richness of the language, but censors accuracy and enquiry.  Its contrived nature is coercive - it distorts thought in order to direct it to a pre-ordained conclusion. It is entirely perverse in its intent to structure thinking.

6.    So if we're right that Faggotry in Vancouver is imposing Gay PC English as the new mother tongue, then "gaybourhood" makes perfect sense. It's a clumsy attempt to habituate thought in an obligatory way.

7.    From the same article:

"The area where the most striking evidence for the influence of language on thought has come to light is the language of space — how we describe the orientation of the world around us."

We would suggest that using language to describe the orientation of the world is not limited to the cardinal points of the compass. In certain cases it could accurately describe a social orientation e.g. this is a Latino neighbourhood, or this is Chinatown.

8.    This is what the Vancouver fags are doing.  The thinking goes like this:

• the "gay core" is fucked and will remain so for some time;
• we cannot publicly admit that gay economic power is not working in favour of the "gay core";
• we know that we have gays living in the vicinity, but there's no proof that gays make up the largest demographic in the West End - and they probably don't.
• the West End re-development plan is an implicit threat to the "gay core";
• the "gay core" is already under siege from developers;
• we've consistently lied about the spectator numbers for Gay Pride;
• there is nothing superior or "world class" about gay life in Vancouver and the "gay core" that we claim lies at its heart, is a fuckin' embarrassment; 
• the fags in the West End have to date, shown no interest in actually re-vitalizing gay businesses in the "gay core" or fronting up with venture capital funds to gentrify the "gay core" to give it a distinctly gay identity which could potentially spread and socially re-brand the area. They're trapped by their own corrupt practices, bad mouthing competition, drug dealing and disease;
• the cheapest option is to direct the use of language and keep up "the noise";
• By calling it "gaybourhood" we can divert attention from the rotting "gay core", and focus people's attention on the surrounding streets where the fags - who may not be in the majority - are living; and thereby con people into thinking the entire area is something it isn't;
• Like propaganda, the more it is peddled, the more the Sheeple will lap it up;
• The more the Sheeple lap it up, the more it becomes habituated;

9.    From the same article (underlining by FuelMix):

"So different languages certainly make us speak about space in very different ways. But does this necessarily mean that we have to think about space differently? By now red lights should be flashing....."

Need we say any more.........?

Thanks for writing in.

The Edge Of Intimacy

FuelMix clearly recalls the intensity of just a handful of men that combined the carnal with the cosmic, the macho and the masculine, the bravado and the boy. They were the underground Angels, testosterone in the shadows, the answered prayer.

Those angels only spoke the Truth, but not in words. Their phrases were the lingering scent of Male, the sureness of their touch. Their cadence was the depth of their kisses and their muscled bodies claiming FuelMix as one of their own. In deep silence, we drank each other as communion, sealing us as blood brothers.

Those very few men and FuelMix each knew intuitively there was no such thing as No Strings Attached. FuelMix and the man had burned deeply into each other’s etheric, like spacecraft flaming on re-entry into Earth. We were each other’s psychic tattoos, marked for life.

In those very special few encounters, the glaring light of the shower was an intrusion. We had conquered the darkness of the rooms merely by the fire in our eyes. Now, we couldn’t look at each other…..the fluids, the manscent were swirling down the drain, a part of our joint lives was being washed away, like a baptism of respectability on a couple of heretics.

There was no swapping of fone numbers or e-mails. There was no need. Angels don't speak in words.

Dharma And Drag

In Thailand, it’s a social convention for young men to enter a Buddhist monastery for a couple of years to lead an ascetic life while studying the teachings of enlightenment.

The country has a huge number of fags, ladyboys and transgender types. In the spirit of human equality, they too are allowed to enter the monastery. True to form, they brought their urban debauchery with them.

It’s traditional for Buddhist monks to beg on the streets for alms and offerings. But the fag monks of Thailand turned that into cruising and hustling for cash, thereby violating their vows of celibacy. More worrying was the flamboyant wearing of skin tight saffron monk’s robes, effeminately shaped eyebrows with eye makeup and…..pink handbags.

So worried were the monastic authorities that in the northern province of Chiang Rai, a “Good Manners Guide” has been published to teach errant monks – especially the fag ones – about smoking, alcohol, walking and going to the toilet properly. Read that last one again fags. Teaching a fag toilet manners? Fags pretty much own toilets don’t they?? It was fags who made toilets fun to use.

Bemused readers can verify this posting for themselves by going to the BBC website for the story dated 27 April 2009.

Blaming Grindr...?

Fagland consistently touts itself as an "inclusive community".  Pick up a fag rag (freebie or paid) and there will be repeated references to, "Proudly serving the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Community".

The smart reader will observe that there is a problem right there with the words, "GLBT Community". All of them are separate communities.  Fagland's apparent inclusivity is intended to boost circulation figures for the local fag rags, desperately dependent on corporate and individual advertising in order to be given away free, or repeated sponsorships on paid issues.

And talking of things given away for free, what about Grindr and its impact on "the community"...? We came across this bizarre article:

There are two sorts of people whose use of Twitter and Facebook is notable and interesting, but about whom little is written for fear of causing offence. The first is black tweeters................................

The other is homosexual men. Gay-specific social networks are both socially troubling and rich with comic potential, but it’s not on gay-oriented websites that the most sociologically compelling interactions are happening – at least, not any more. Because friends of Dorothy are re-colonising mainstream social networks for romantic (and pragmatic) purposes, adding a distinctive flavour of their own to traditionally heterosexual playgrounds.

This abandonment of sex-centric sites and services by the gay elite comes at an opportune time, as gay celebrities voice concerns that Grindr has had a devastating effect on gay culture by reducing footfall in clubs and elbowing lesbians and transgender people out of the conversation. They claim that a shared club culture that helped to glue these marginalised groups together in the past is being eroded by hook-up apps that focus exclusively on gay men.

------"Did Grindr Accidentally Kill Gay Culture?", Milo Yiannopoulos, Kernelmag, 12 November 2012

Comment 

1.   OK......we admit it......we farted with laughter when we read this quote - and ended up sounding like a Harley Davidson taking off at a stop light after we read the entire article.

2.   The entire article attempts to make 2 points:

• the "gay elite" is abandoning Grindr and other sex-centric sites in favour of mainstream social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter;
• the sex-centric sites have fractured "the community";

3.   Uh....oh.....there it is again, right at the top of the quote......grouping blacks and fags together - yet attempting to keep them separate. We've noticed this repetitive social meme of "gays are the new blacks".  Gotta keep that whole minority/suppression/ discrimination/PC thingy going. It's part of the Engine of Faggotry, remember....?

4.   Whilst FuelMix agrees that gay sex-centric sites are rich with comic potential (see the equally laugh and fart inducing post, Grindr Bitching or what we've written about Craigslist M2M and Casual Encounters under the Gays Online label), on what basis is it alleged they are "socially troubling"....? The spike in STD rates and HIV infections perhaps.....? the number of drug-fucked fags lingering on multiple gay sex-centric sites late at nite.....? The author never said.

5.   Yeah.....the gay sex-centric sites attract their share of chronically repetitive, worded-for-failure ads with the usual exhortations ("Let's do this..."!), the obviously fake stats and pics, the bitching, the closeted married business traveler, the str8 but curious..........but........hit the Grindr website....... and there are happy testimonials from happy fags who found Mr Right - right alongside those fags searching the carnal haystack for the right needle.

6.   And what's this about Friends of Dorothy "re-colonising" the mainstream social networking sites for romance and pragmatism....?? Bullshit.  They never left.  Grindr came along much later than Facebook or Twitter. Our view is that fags cross-pollinated. A fag will search for dick wherever he can.

7.   Just who are the fuckin' "gay elite" that the author alleges have abandoned the sex-centric sites at an opportune time....?  We're totally baffled.......in our admittedly unscientific experience and observations, the "gay elite" are usually self-proclaimed, screeching "activists" hell bent on pushing Faggotry's latest behaviour-modification programme on a rightly pissed off majority. They aren't called Gay Nazis for nothing. As we recall, the real Nazis thought they were elite too.

8.   And according to the author, there's a distinction between the "gay elite" and "gay celebrities".....??!!  We can hear the hissing right now in LaLa Land.............

9.   Did the gay sex-centric sites really fracture "the community" as the author alleges?  Garbage.  We've said it before.......There is no "community".  There are only  cliques defined by their sexual orientation. And that is precisely how fags prefer to keep it. The vast majority of time, in cases of "outrage" it is fags screaming about "the community". The dirty little editorial secret is what they don't publicly say: ........they'd prefer to be referring to themselves only.

Think about it.......when was the last time you went grocery shopping with a transgender....? or insisted on a lesbian plumber.....? or asked for a recommendation for a bisexual dentist......?

10.   Grindr was never set up to be inclusive. It's a cock-focused site.  There's nothing stopping lesbians and transgendered or bisexuals setting up similar sites. The assertion that Grindr fractured "the community" is as false as it is farcical. There was no community to begin with.

11.   As for Grindr having had a devastating effect on reducing traffic in gay bars. Oh please......for the average fag, the gay bar is part of the ritual circuit.......gym, public toilet, mall toilet, gay bookshop, nude beach, parks, gay bar. Rinse and repeat. If the gay bar is removed from that equation, it pretty much breaks the circle of life for the fag.  If there has been a reduction in customers of gay bars in the West, it's been due to the fraud of investment bankers, that wrecked the middle class and the poor, and reduced disposable income.

12.   You must be fuckin' blind if you hadn't noticed the number of fags checking into Grindr while they're at the bar.  If the bars are losing business, it isn't because of Grindr. It's because:

• the same people at the bar are the same people on Grindr.  They cross-pollinated again.
• the bar's  clientele sucks;
• the drinks are over-priced; 
• the gay bar across the street is the current hot spot; 
• the drug-fucked go-go boys are looking a little worse for wear;

Whose Loss Is It Anyway?

Every so often, FuelMix does a field test, a sort of dipstick to test the level of stupidity in the urban fag.

Recently, FuelMix posted an online ad specifically stating what he was looking for. The ad requested stats, face and bod pics. It also said the fag had to host. The replies came in thick and fast – 19 of them sitting in his Inbox in the space of a few hours. FuelMix was initially delighted, but the joy soon gave way to incredulity as he started going through them.

There were the usual oneliners. The stats with no pics. The stats with bod pics but no face pic. The stats with a dick pic. The stats with a bod pic saying they couldn’t host.

Of the 19 replies, only 5 correctly responded with stats, face and bod pics, stating they could host.

FuelMix narrowed the 5 down to 1, hooked up and had a blast.

But that’s not the end of the story. FuelMix has a policy of responding to all e-mails pursuant to his online ads. FuelMix wrote back to the deficient responders, quoted his ad, pointed out what was missing and invited them to reply again if they wished.

Instead, FuelMix received a combination of e-mail abuse and soppy excuses ranging from bisexuality, infidelity, discretion, to unfamiliarity with digital cameras. The righteous fags simply could not bring themselves to admit that they had deliberately withheld the info that the ad had requested. FuelMix wrote back declining to meet them, pointing out he would not meet without a face pic. Period.

Some of the rejected fags responded with further insults. FuelMix shrugged. Afterall, some lucky fag did get to swallow his load.

So, who’s loss is it anyway?

By way of update, FuelMix was chatting to some buddies about online hookups.  All agreed that the failure rate was stratospheric and that the Snowden revelations about NSA spying were disquieting.  What was interesting was the suggestion to put in a detailed personal description of oneself, but refusing to swap any pics at all online from now on. Instead, it would be made clear in the ad that a meeting in Starbucks would occur first and then a hookup if both clicked.

Talking To Adam 10

I'm an Aussie-born and raised Chinese gay male in my early 30s. I speak with a total Aussie accent and I'm a white collar expatriate professional here in Very Rich Megacity.

I love being in VRM. It gives me the chance to really explore the Chinese side of my culture. Oh....and yeah.....my Cantonese totally sucks. It's virtually non-existent. Try speaking it with an Aussie accent..........

On a personal level, I'm so glad to get out of Oz, specifically Sydney.  As a gay Asian, I was horrified and repeatedly embarrassed by the antics of the white gay guys in the bars and saunas.

It was in-your-face racism.  They were doing it on purpose and getting a kick out of it.  It's not that I'm some fugly out of shape, socially awkward Chinese guy who can't speak their language. I'm gym fit, in shape, women have told me I'm attractive and gone out with me (yeah I told them I'm queer but we went out anyways....), other Chinese guys hit on me in the saunas in VRM and if I show up at Central Escalator the whites will chase me.

What happened to me several times in Sydney just makes me puke when I think about it. I'd walk into a gay bar and head for the empty bar stool between 2 white guys.  As soon as I'd sit on the stool, the 2 white guys - who weren't even talking to each other anyway - would get off their stools, take their drink and move to another part of the bar.  I'd sit there thinking, "WTF.....??!!.....did you honestly think I'd hit on you just because you're white....??!!"   The whites would stand there in their little cliques staring and snickering at me. They assumed since I wasn't white, I didn't speak much English, or that my parents owned a fish and chip takeaway.  Several times I'd hear snippets of conversation along the lines of how desperate Chinese guys in Oz were to find any white guy.

I was being stereotyped before I'd even opened my mouth. When I'd turn around to look, they would turn their backs on me and keep talking and snickering.

What was surprising to me was when I showed up at the saunas in Sydney, I heard similar conversations against Asians, specifically Chinese.  It seemed inappropriate and unnecessary. I recall one occasion where guys were standing around as they do in the sauna, just chilling waiting for interesting guys to show up...........And there were these 2 white blokes in their late 20s I'm guessing, discussing whether they would hook up with a Chinese guy.

One absolutely refused saying he didn't regard Chinese as "men".  The other said there was no way he'd "kiss a chink" and that as a last resort, he'd  "take a brown guy over a chink."

.........and this is being said as I'm standing there a few feet away from them.

Look, I'm not politically correct or one of these hypersensitive Asians, but it seemed offensive. They knew I was standing nearby......it almost felt like they were trying to provoke me into a reaction.  I just shut up and walked away. As I wandered around the sauna, I noticed that other Chinese, some of whom were certainly masculine and gym built, were also getting rejected, shunned or ignored.  We made eye contact, but never said a word.  Instinctively, all the Chinese guys in the sauna knew what was happening and why.

When I moved to Very Rich Megacity for work, I knew this was a major international city, waaaay more than Sydney would ever be.  As I checked out the bars and saunas, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Asian and Chinese guys here found me attractive and in many cases, were pretty cute or built themselves. I got a lot of attention and action from and with GAMs in several saunas around town.

I was also prepared to be more openminded to whites.  I felt it was important not to bring over any "baggage" from my past experience in gay Sydney.

Chatting to the other GAMs, I started hearing similar stories of in-your-face racism, shunning, and rejection from whites.  These GAMs all had one thing in common - they had also been born in or raised in the West.  So whether these guys were ABCs, BBCs, CBCs or whatever kind of bananas, there was a consistency in what they were saying. I'm not saying that every western-born GAM is an outcast who's been scarred for life, but  I found it difficult to believe that all of them could be lying about their experiences in the gay bars and saunas in the West.

What I've found since moving to Very Rich Megacity, is that my initial attraction to whites as a result of my upbringing, has given way to an attraction to Asians.  If I was to be honest, I think a large part of it has been the sense of shared disgust at white behaviour - both the overt and covert racism.

Honestly, I've been dumbfounded and gratified by the attention that the local gay Asians and the other gay "bananas" have given me.  For the first time in a long time, I actually feel like I belong.

The other day, I was in the sauna in the middle of some group fun with some hot muscleboy GAMs, and I thought, "where have you guys been all my life.....??"

That's What I Said, Fag

Every piece of communications technology in the last 120 years, has made it easier to lie. Think about it: Morse Code, radio transmissions, telephone, photocopier, telex, fax, e-mail, instant messaging, laptop, cell fone, pager, Blackberry, Palm Pilot, imaging software, digicam, webcam, handycam, WiFi smartphone, tablet..........and now, the news that Twitter is awash with not only fake accounts, but fake robotic accounts that appear to tweet at each other, retweet, follows other accounts (and get followed in return) - all for the purpose of promoting somebody to "trending" status - for a fee of course. See the Wall Street Journal Report entitled, Inside a Twitter Robot Factory, dated 24 November 2013..

So........ fags have a double problem when it comes to lying – themselves and technology. One is ingrained, the other is facilitative. What makes fags such spectacularly proficient liars is a product of their background and their environment.

The combination of themselves and technology acts as a double filter. It frustrates the immediate casual hookup online (how many times have you seen stupidly worded ads like "lets do it!"; "if it comes to it"; “no endless e-mail tags”?) and it inhibits the development of long term relationships. Every fag knows that a portable piece of technology offers them the get-out they need at a moment's notice.

(If evidence is required of a triple problem, we can say: fags, technology and interceptive surveillance. The latter now found, apparently by default, on every computer since 1999 and now well entrenched on every social networking site, Android and iOS smartphone and tablet. A surveillance agency, so inclined, can tamper and alter with your messaging, e-mails and for that matter, your voice..........)

It could be said that the most successful and upfront way of getting meat, is on the street - on your feet, face to face, man to man - no techno toys, no pixels and photoshopping, no call-blocking, no texted lame excuses. Only problem is.........the fag will lie to your face. Conventional Faggotry will never admit that the personally ingrained trait of lying and the technologically facilitative means of lying can - and do - operate independently and together.

The irony is that right now, so many fags take their smartphones to bed with them, surfing, texting, e-mailing and tweeting online till they fall asleep.  It's the closest they'll get to a (virtual) man - if they're honest with themselves.

A Really Fugly Friday

A reader gets progressively pissed off as he hits 3 local saunas in succession, looking for hot guys.......

But.......which saunas pissed him off.........???

Hey FuelMix

I'm gonna bitch about my Friday.....took a day off work for ya know.....mental health reasons i.e. stressed out and thought I'd hit ONE gay sauna in the afternoon, have some fun, go shopping, have dinner downtown, head home and chill and look forward to the weekend.

Here's how it turned out......

1.   Alexander

Showed up after lunch about 2:30pm. Yeah I know it was early but as I said above, I had other plans for the day too.  Anyways, there were only about 5 people there when I showed up - all local GAMs as best as I could tell. Nothing to look at. 

However from about 3pm the place started filling up quickly. They were coming in every few minutes.  All GAMs and nobody hot looking. There was a huge range of body types and ages from skinny dyed blond twinks to 50 somethings flab, but all were surprisingly ugly.  I'm a GAM too - but not that ugly.

Some of the guys were hunky but they were on the stocky side or bear side with some facial hair.  Definitely NOT my type.

So.....they kept coming in the door, a combination of local GAMs and Mainland Chinese.  Nobody attractive. It's gone 4:30pm, a white guy also showed up and then a few minutes later, another white guy. But both were skinny AND flabby and one had no butt at all.  Definitely a major turn off even though I guess both were in their late 20s.

By 5pm I'm worried.  I should have had some fun and left at least an hour ago.  I did have other plans to enjoy my day off.  More guys, more ugly GAMs. I'm horny and pissed off.  By 5:30 I had enough.  The place was getting busy but still FUGLIES everywhere I looked.  There was some action in the Steam Room but I just couldn't get into it coz I saw what they looked like when they came in the front door.

I fled Alexander in disgust.


2.   Big Top

So I hit the street.  I'm standing there thinking "shit.....what a disaster Alexander was.  I need some relief, I'll put the shopping on hold and head to Big Top which is a 5 minute walk away.  Since they now open at 2pm and it's 5:30pm, maybe I'll find some fun there".

Wrong.

Tons of guys there and more coming in every few minutes. Definitely better bodies and faces, some muscular types, somewhat younger, some with cute tan lines from their swimming trunks, mostly GAMs with one or 2 foreigners plus one or two white guys.  I noticed a couple of GAMs wearing cock rings. Tons of attitude, tons of Stand and Model.  And the more they did it, the more Fugly they became to me.

How they hooked up is a mystery but all the rooms were occupied. Got groped and touched by other GAMs but they wouldn't commit to anything else.  It was surprising because in the past, I'd had a great time at Big Top.

My feet are hurting, nothing's happening this time around, I'm fed up with the attitude and it's coming up to 7:45pm.  I checked out of Big Top.


3.   Club Houzz

So I'm back on the street getting angry. I'm horny and I'm hungry. Friday is not going well for me. Should I have dinner or what.....??

Then I thought "OK....Club Houzz has its Party Nite on Fridays from about 8pm. It's just across the road from Big Top. Let me give that a shot.  Can it get any worse.......??"

Oh yeah......it can definitely get worse.

Again, tons of guys there mostly local GAMs in their 20s and 30s, 2 foreigners (one was really cute with a hot body but he wasn't interested in me....*sigh*) and one much older white guy who just sat in the corner.

Some GAMs had cute faces but lousy bodies - mostly too skinny. The majority of GAMs were just Fugly and not inspiring.  Lots of wandering around, everybody staring at everybody else. On Party Nites they lock the private rooms so everyone's waiting for somebody to start the party.  When he does they all jump and swarm on him and then push each other out of the way, so all you do is stand around and watch in semi-darkness. It was pathetic.

By 9:30 I realized nothing was gonna happen.  My Friday had gone to hell.  I was still horny and I still hadn't been shopping or had any dinner.

I left Club Houzz and was back on the street.  

I then discovered that the huge upstairs public toilet on the main road just around the corner from Club Houzz and next to the park, is very cruisy.  It's just been renovated and is all new and shiny. But there was nobody of my type there either.

What a lousy Friday.........!!

A really pissed off GAM.


FuelMix says:

Oh dude.........we totally sympathize.  Some days it all clicks and some days it all goes to hell. Looks like you had a double hit of Rejection and a Triple hit of the Fuglies.  And in Very Rich Megacity, when the Fuglies show up, they really show up.

Tell your Human Resources Department you need another Friday off.

Action Sauna 14

1/F Overseas Building,
417 - 421 Hennessy Road
Causeway Bay
Hong Kong
MTR:  Causeway Bay, Exit B

Telephone: 2893 7027

Note:   NOT open 24 hours, except on weekends. 
Call to confirm opening times. 
Staff speak English.

It had been ages since FuelMix dropped into Action - about 20 months ago - so there we were in the locality around 6:30pm on a weekday evening and thought we'd check it out.

The first thing to be aware of is that the entrance to the building and the lift lobby had been renovated. It's cleaner and brighter in polished white stone.

There were 2 staff guys on duty. One ogled FuelMix intensely as he entered and kept the staff door open to watch FuelMix undress.  Shortly afterwards, the game became obvious.  That staff guy would go on "patrol" in the premises, make intense eye contact and grope FuelMix as he slowed down in the corridors to pass. It was harmless.

There were tons of local GAM guys there, mostly an office crowd in their mid to late 30s. Average looking, with 2 or 3 guys with gym bods. Also some stocky Filipinos (we know......we asked) and 3 generic white guys in their 40s or maybe more. Nothing to look at. Typical Central Escalator shit. We did not feel that Mainland Chinese had infested this place. Perhaps it's a different story on other days.

Not that much attitude this time around - considering this is what Action is known for - so it was more a matter of standing around waiting for the "right" customer to show up. As usual, it all takes place in the Dark Area - which wasn't so dark this time as they've replaced the entry curtain with a thinner, lighter coloured one that allows the light to shine through.

FuelMix did not get any action with the customers. They weren't his type. Also, being a weekday, they don't hang around, but (like Alexander, Big Top, Galaxy and Hunter) there's no shortage of guys coming through the door. Remember, Action empties by about 9pm.  So, on weekdays, show up from about 4pm to 9pm.

Oh yeah......that staff guy ate out FuelMix's gorgeous muscled ass. He ultimately threw caution to the wind, gave in to his hunger and didn't care who watched - even it it included his co-worker.

We're always flattered when sauna staff lavish some attention on us.  They see hundreds of guys coming through the door. We giggle at our memories..........

Beauty And The Bouncer

Apparently being built and handsome can be an occupational hazard. Or so thought a certain closet fag who works as a bouncer at a club, but also mooches as a hustler. 

It’s assumed that a built dude working as a bouncer, would be expected to carry out the duties expected of his position, namely, screen those wishing to enter, turf out the drunks, crowd control, breaking up fights…… 

Did FuelMix mention breaking up fights?............... 

Apparently one night, when said closet fag / hustler / bouncer was on duty, fisticuffs broke out in the club between 2 rival groups. The lights came on, the DJ appealed for calm, the other bouncers swarmed them and things got physical for a few minutes. Punches flew, some blood was spilt, shirts got torn, the protagonists were duly softened up then unceremoniously ejected onto the street. 

Everybody saw and heard what was happening. There was a round of applause for the bouncers, who then turned to congratulate each other…which is when they found out one of them was missing...

The closet fag / hustler bouncer was found attempting to sneak out from under the pool table in the corner, not a hair out of place. He claims he was “pushed and kicked” under the pool table, but there were no marks on him or on is clothes. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. 

He was fired on the spot. 

Shortly afterwards, he was seen leaving the club, with an older male, (known to frequent hustlers), discreetly following him.

Passing Off 2

This posting is a continuation of the previous post, Passing Off 1. 

So what’s the way out of this shit? FuelMix refers fags to the writings of Deepak Chopra who suggests adopting the concept of “being defenceless”. In other words, you immediately drop your notions about yourself and your expectations about others. You simply “be”. 

So if you advertise yourself online, give an objective description of yourself and leave it at that. So the “str8 looking, str8 acting” goes, as well as “masculine” - oh yeah and “VGL”. 

FuelMix is aware that for many fags, those 3 elements are the Holy Trinity of their online profiles, but suggests that a simple step of omitting them would actually be quite liberating. 

Face it fags, you can be as “str8 looking, str8 acting”, “masculine” and “VGL” all you want. But you’re never gonna appeal to everyone. So why not start by not even attempting to appeal to anyone?

(Does that mean FuelMix will finally drop that line about his Muscled, Totally Edible Bubble Butt....?  Umm.....No).

Death of a Gay Ghetto 14

How Vancouver's Town Planners Will Make the Gay Ghetto All New and Shiny.......And We Do Mean Shiny............

The town planners have released a draft of the Community Development Plan for Vancouver's West End, which includes the run down gay area of Davie Street.  See the report by Global News dated 7 November 2013, entitled Vancouver's West End to get makeover: more housing, more open-air plazas.

The rainbow-painted pedestrian crossing at the notorious intersection of Davie and Bute - previously well known as a meth-dealing epicentre -  is to be enhanced by adding an overhead installation.........which in the official illustration above, appears to be a.............shiny disco ball...!!!!

BBBWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......!!!!

Seriously, we're not making this shit up.

Other than some open air plazas and taller buildings on the periphery of the West End; plus the addition of landfill infill housing in the alleys which should nicely offset the dumpsters (and the drug dealing), we haven't seen anything concrete about revitalization of the actual Fagland.

We suspect that despite the PC noises, the Community Development Plan isn't about preserving the Gay Village, but rather about cramming more people into the locality. We'd predicted this years ago, pointing out that the low-grade gay retail and fast food franchises in Vancouver's Fagland, (to which one can now add druggies and the urinating homeless) were symptoms of an economically crippled demographic which in the long term, was unsustainable. The West End in general, also has a large elderly and transient student population who do not have economic power.

The urban creep westwards from Yaletown (large chunks of which were developed by a property giant originating from Asia in Very Rich Megacity) and southwards from Coal Harbour is unstoppable. We're always fascinated to hear the screeching of the local fags that "the Village" needs to be "preserved", or that "it has historical value" or that the gay identity "is intrinsic to the West End". Fair enough.  We're sure their hearts are in the right place. But it's their words that give them away. It's always about preserving the status quo - hardly ever does one hear anything about "expansion", "revitalization", "regeneration", "reinvention".  And that's not surprising. Elsewhere in this series, we've commented on the pathetic local gay culture in Vancouver of corruption, drug dealing, conflicts of interest, bad mouthing and turf protectionism.  A Fourth World, Banana Republic mentality prevails. It's not gonna change anytime soon.

If it's an overhead installation that they want at the intersection of Davie and Bute, we think it should be a pinata that would crack open every few minutes and scatter meth tablets on the delighted fags below.
