I know I don't look good at the gym - I acknowledge that it looks like someone tried to drown me with my clothes on when I exercise

8-Week Chest Workout

Let's face it; in our community the gym is like church to many. But not everyone has the time or money to spend every waking hour lifting weights

Love your Liver

In the discussion around gay men's health, a lot of time is devoted to telling guys where they can and can't stick their dicks.

Spring ahead - April is Running Month

Let’s face it, the elliptical machine feeds on your will to live. Those things are completely soul destroying. The other day, as I pushed, pulled, and glided in the gym, I realized that was staring at the sun out the window. What was I doing? It’s spring. I should be running outside!

Personal Strategic Advisors

Do you feel like you're bogged down or having difficulty with some aspects of your life?

Queers and Addiction

I have typed the words “gay men” or “lesbians” into Google many times in my life for one reason or another. Once I get past the porn, the most common search results I see are those referencing clubs, bars, and parties around town. Are we really a population of party crazed alcoholics as my computer would have us believe?

Information on H1N1

There are a lot of resources online regarding H1N1. Here are some links that will answer a lot of the frequently asked questions you may have around ‘swine flu’.

Silver Fox

Sunday morning, 2 a.m.  A night of cocktails, lots of cocktails.  It’s time to head home after spending too much time chatting up a (too confused) bisexual guy at 1181.  No need for companionship tonight, especially confused companionship.

Sleep Hygiene

I’ve always known the importance of regular hygiene, such as bathing regularly, brushing your teeth and - perhaps most importantly - wearing clean underwear, whether they be boxer shorts or something more saucy, like a thong.

Sugar in the Gas Tank

Trucks can be cute, sexy, rusty, new, old, up-on-blocks; the variety is endless. Like our bodies. High performance is good, but it requires upkeep and good fuel. Like a high performance vehicle, our own bodies convert fuel/food into energy.

Fit to be tied (Testicular Torsion)

Could you imagine waking up with your nuts tied in a knot? It could happen! ...well almost. Your nuts are suspended by spermatic cords within your sack (not a big revelation if you’ve ever played with your balls).

Carpenteria

"I was a cycling machine, rising before dawn to shower and eat before riding a hundred miles, at one with my bike."
