Flicking through people’s online profiles and now on Grindr, you make snap decisions on whether they are hookup material from their photo and what they say. Grindr doesn’t allow a whole lot of freedom to get the message across with limited text and one photo. With that in mind, sometimes I find myself asking if some people are really using that space wisely.

Just tonight, three profiles caught my eye, not so much for their photo or their details but the bit of text they’d used to either sell themselves or state what they want. I’m a big fan of witty profiles and making me laugh. Someone who can make me laugh a lot has the advantage any day.

“Love a baseball cap”
Is that an order or a statement? Humping on a baseball cap would be awkward and unsatisfying. It’s oddly specific too. Would a trucker cap do as well?

“If you really want to turn me on take ur singlet off jump in ur ute and eat a paddle pop”
Now I may need to translate for non-aussie slang afficionados. A singlet isn’t a wrestling singlet, it’s a tank top. A ute isn’t some German name, it’s a pickup truck with the tray thing at the back. A paddle pop is an ice cream on a stick which I cannot for the life of me remember what that is called in the U.S.

Once again, it’s a very specific turn on, but I think it’s supposed to mean a rough and ready tradesman with a hot body chilling out with his shirt off? Generally speaking, a pretty hot guy sucking on something in his mouth, but not a turn on for me stated in it’s initial form.

“Get Innocuous!”
Innocuous is an adjective meaning “not harmful or offensive”. Wow, that’s a heady way to describe an anonymous casual sexual encounter. I’m pretty certain they were being ironic and it did make me smile but it was a bit odd.

Mikel Marton has been featured  on the pages of Aussielicious some time ago and doesn’t seem to be maintaining as high a profile online as he used to but I still love seeing his work. His photography usually features genetically blessed youths in staged portraits and largely nude or close to it.

Mikel has a knack for finding friends that are willing to get their gear off for art purposes and then gently coaxes them to blur the line between art and porn. None of his subjects are as willing as himself. Mikel is an extraordinarily striking young man with a delicate yet strong face, a lithe body and, well, the appendage of the blessed. But even with the frequent sensual nudity, it’s the elegance and beauty of his photography that really appeals to me.

A while back I brought you “The Reason” who were an acapella harmony group in X-Factor in the UK. They didn’t make it to the top twelve but they did apparently get the attention of the people at GT magazine. These guys are so hot and a bit of sweet sexy rough with their pretty boy faces, gym bods and bad boy tattoos.

You just know they’d seduce you by serenading you then have rough wild sex in the bedroom or on the bonnet of your car. My only disappointment with this video is that someone was obviously “helicoptering” on the shoot but there’s no footage of it!

After Emackinations stopped blogging in the blogger sense of the word and announced he had switched to Tumblr. I had no idea what that meant but now I realise that not only have people’s attention spans been reduced to twitter’s 140 characters, we now are reposting everyone else’s photos.

I have no problem with it. It’s like a barometer of your personal taste, as to which photos or quotes you reblog. The photos above are all from Emackinations and surprised me that I was turned on by a few of them. I have no problem with Redheads but the idea of dating one is a tough one to get my head around as I could spend all day every day at the beach but that’s not possible for a redhead. I also don’t usually go for lots of ink but the tattoo shot is very hot.

SO, I have now added Tumblr to my list of online distractions. www.aussielicious.tumblr.com is where I’m at. I’ll be deleting my formspring account soon as Tumblr has a question function too.

The calendar is out and it’s another scorcher by Francois Rousseau. I will be ordering my copy of the DVD very soon. It’s one of the few “must purchases” of the year for me. Of course I buy it to look at the photography set up! Yeah right.

This is a video of basketballer Iwo Kitzinger being photographed for the calendar. He’s apparently the only one to have braved full frontal this time around. Sadly, this is a youtube clip so that won’t be in this video but I’m sure you can appreciate the rest of him!

A lot of us gay boys have had fantasies about sleeping with Ryan Kwanten and I’ve heard the usual whispers from the gay mafia that he is gay. As we know, however, the gay mafia would have us believe that any hot male celebrity likes nothing more than sweaty man sex and wants to hookup with a fan.

Maybe the reason that Ryan seems at ease with gay people or approachable to them is because his brother is gay. Ryan told US magazine The Advocate in a recent interview that when his brother came out “he was a changed man for the better”.

He’s also not ruling out some man-on-man action for his sexually driven character on True Blood but doesn’t know what the creators have in mind. Now, I’m just off to fantasise about the hot Kwanten brothers.

Yesterday I spent nearly 5 hours in blazing sunshine nude on the beach with friends. Some of the friends I’ve known longer than others but they are all very easy company.

The beach was quite busy but not over crowded. There was some very nice eye candy there as well as regular joes enjoying the beautiful weather. I like that beach because of the diverse crowd. There was a guy there that we’ve seen a couple of times now. We think he was there with his girlfriend but she’s not a nudie. We are guessing Eurasian of some very nice mix with a beautifully natural athletic body and a bubble butt you can admire from miles away.

I was so relaxed and chilled out when I got home I took all my clothes off again and sat around the house for the afternoon doing nothing. Lovely.

Tonight I made it to my aerial silks class for the first time in weeks and had a great class. We were being taught a very cool new trick at one stage which provided much amusement for all the girls when I howled as one testicle was squashed unceremoniously.

I’ve just come home to find my flatmate watching a documentary and social experiment on happiness and the search to find out whether people really are unhappy or just not realising when they are happy. Sydney has been deemed the unhappiest of cities in Australia and that doesn’t surprise me. Sydney is a very expensive place to live and I think lots of us, myself included, are so caught up trying to survive and tick off all these goals that we are told to achieve that we forget to enjoy the bits along the way that make us smile.

I thought the other day that I’ve not been very successful in mining the clouds for their silver lining as I set out to do at the start of the year. I’ve gotten bogged down in hating my job, resenting my managers and focusing on my own insecurities, that I’ve probably missed a lot of laughs along the way.

So, with 5 or 6 weeks to go in the year (scary thought in itself) this old dog is trying to teach himself some new tricks or rediscover the ones he used to know. I need to stop worrying so much and just enjoy myself.

Don’t you love it when a weekend just unfolds nicely? Friday night I had a mate come over that I hadn’t seen in ages which was lovely. Saturday morning I got up and in the morning I photographed two guys at once for my exhibition which was a bit daunting. I’ve never shot two at once but it was relatively successful and a good warm up for shooting 7 guys at once next weekend. That was followed by picking up some stuff for another photo shoot and paying the rest of the fee for the gallery.

Last night was a friend’s birthday drinks which was lots of fun and involved me developing a big crush on the birthday girl’s brother. Seriously hot. Sunday morning this morning and I woke up a tiny bit dusty from the beers last night but got organised and headed to the beach for several hours of nude bliss with friends in the sun. Love it.

What could make the weekend better? Not one but TWO new Kylie videos. One for her duet with Taio Cruz and her new solo single, Better Than Today. Enjoy.

Last weekend I was at a function and over the course of the few hours I was there, so too were 3 guys that over the past few years I’ve had thoroughly awkward dates/catch ups with.
The first turned up with friends. A few years ago we chatted a lot at a friend’s birthday drinks and then as the afternoon drinks were winding down, decided to go for a meal. That’s when he seemingly lost all ability to make conversation which resulted in a delicious meal but less than stellar evening. At the function last week, despite him being there with friends, he stood alone with his back to the wall and arms crossed. Approachable.

The second turned up, rather awkwardly with one of the other guys I was meeting there. Turns out they are exes. I know why. The guy he turned up with is great fun and really outgoing, his ex, and the one I’d had a brunch/coffee with is pretty much the opposite. He’s a very professional guy and nice enough but works in a field that isn’t renowned for it’s awesome personality, a stereotype he lives up to. I know each couple has to compliment and balance each other out, but if one is lively and fun, does the other have to be in a social coma?

The third guy was a guy I had coffee with a month or two ago. I seem to be the only man that ends up on dates after logging on to grindr. Everyone else gets laid/blown/some kind of sexual relief from grindr. Not me. Once again this man was pleasant enough, but conversation just didn’t flow.

Granted, all these situations could have been my fault, who knows but to have the ghosts of bad dates past in one room on the same evening made me question whether I was being taught a lesson? Bugger that. I’m fun and can hold a conversation. I was there to teach them a lesson. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Joyce Maynge, along with 5 kids and hundreds of dancers gave the tourists at the Sydney Opera House a surprise with a flash mob performance of a Kylie & Dannii Minogue medley routine on Sunday afternooon. Sydney put on a spectacular weather weekend and I don’t know how Joyce’s makeup didn’t melt off but it looks like it was a hoot.

Last night I had one of the most intense sex dreams I’ve had in a long time. Granted that’s not saying much as I don’t often have them, or if I do, I don’t really remember them once I’m awake but this morning I remembered clearly that I’d dreamt I was going down on a gorgeous woman. It’s been 11 years since I had sex with a woman and I don’t know that I was particularly good at it.

Later in the day I watched the trailer for “Love and Other Drugs” with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway who it turns out would have to be one of my biggest girl crushes. She’s gorgeous, funny, stylish, down to earth and well, sexy. In the movie it appears Jake is recruited to put Viagra on the pharmaceuticals map in it’s early days and reports to the hospital suffering from exactly what it’s designed to do. God knows I’d help him with that (hopefully not so little) problem.

What is my girl crush and sex dream telling me? I have been in the mood for a bi 3some for some time now but have no idea of how to make it happen. I think in reality I’m just not getting enough sex in general.

Ever since the guy I used to train at the gym with got a new job and stopped training in the city my workouts have been less effective and also less fun. I enjoy having someone to work out with me and push me. So, I’m putting the call out to anyone who might be looking for a training partner. I do weight training 3-4 times a week (when I am motivated) and I’m trying to put on a bit more muscle while keeping the fat at bay.

Anyone who is interested please email me or comment with your real email address and let’s see what we can do! I am a member of Fitness First. Yes, they are the McDonalds of gyms but they are convenient. Now if only we could get them to allow nude workouts.

Take Kylie’s latest hit, make a bunch of gay and gay for pay porn stars mime it in a simple but cute video and you have a delicious confectionery for the senses. These are the boys from Randy Blue. Enjoy.
