  • This porn star revealed how they stay hard for so long

    This porn star revealed how they stay hard for so long

    It’s one of life’s little mysteries. How do porn stars stay hard for so long, especially when there are lots of people watching, so much expectation and well, let’s say, repeated use…

    Shooting a porn takes a long time, there are loads of things to think about… angles, lighting, press shots, pack shots for the DVD (who still buys porn DVDs?). The lists go on, but the performers have to stay hard – sometimes for hours on end. So how do they do it?

    Firstly there are the oral meds that performers can take. Viagra for instance.

    Pornstar Michael McLachlan told us, “Yes, of course, we take pills to help us get hard and stay hard during filming. Some scenes can take 3 hours some can take 5 hours. We have to do all the still images and promotional images that day also for DVD covers etc. So yeah we need something to sustain an erection while taking photos and no sexual stimulation is happening. We aren’t magicians. Though some guys can fit a lot up their ‘sleeve’”.

    Injectables

    Some guys take it one step further and use injectables, directly into their penises, which can cause erections without arousal. An “anonymous” legal rep for a gay porn star told Quora users, “Liquid ED drugs are injected straight into the penis. It lasts for 6-8 hours.

    Fluffers?

    Remember the term “fluffers”, well apparently studios used to hire someone specifically to get the guy ready and up before the scene’s start.

    Our anon legal rep continues, “… and fluffers were used to keep male actors hard. Before you ask, a fluffer is a male or female who fellates (gives oral sex) the actor’s penis just long enough to keep it aroused. In the 70s and 80s were actually hired and regularly paid to be “at the ready”

    Pumps

    Then there are the pumps. Pumps aren’t used that often because overusing them can actually be dangerous, and could lead to bust a blood vessel in the peen. Not nice.

    The edit

    Then there’s always editing. You know a scene might last more than a day. The stars may actually cum quite early on in the day and then come back to it, later on, to do different angles and positions later on in the day.

    Mark Myers, a sexual health expert on Quora said, “Porn stars may last longer than the average man, but a lot of what you see in porn is not “real”.

    For example, directors shoot multiple takes and lots of footage just to create one 20 minute scene.

    “Still, it’s reasonable to assume that male porn stars train themselves to last longer by practising deep breathing, frequently changing positions (and sometimes exercising during sex), and of course, lots of practice.”

    Boyzone took a moment to remember their fallen bandmate and “brother” Stephen Gately.

    The nineties and noughties boy-turned man band, Boyzone, showed that they still have and hold Stephen Gately forever in their hearts. The band, who are on their final tour, took a moment, at their latest show in Leeds, to remember their “brother” Stephen Gately, who sadly died in 2009 when he was just 33.

    The band is currently celebrating their 25th anniversary in the music business.

    In a simple message on their official Twitter page, the band, shared an intimate picture of the four remaining members, Keith Duffy, Michael Graham, Shane Lynch and Ronan Keating in an heartfelt embrace, with the simple message, “Our moment for our brother”.

    Stephen Gately, who came out as gay in a blaze of publicity in 1999 was found dead at his home in Mallorca in October 2009. This year will be the 10th anniversary of his passing. His death was determined to have been caused by pulmonary oedema, resulting from an undiagnosed heart condition.

    In 1999 there were very few out and openly gay musicians, particularly in boybands. He decided to come out via the press after discovering that someone he knew was planning to sell a story detailing his sexuality to the media.

  • Olly Murs frolics in the snow in nothing but this tiny briefs

    Olly Murs frolics in the snow in nothing but this tiny briefs

    Two questions, why? and why?

    Popstar and Voice mentor, Olly Murs has stunned his fans by stripping down and running almost starkers into the snow in his back garden.

    As most people in the UK are wrapping up warm as temperatures plunged to below -10c in some areas, Olly Murs decided to go for a nearnude walk and dance in his back garden. Showing off his bright red tiny briefs, the Voice star seemed to enjoy the blanket of snow in his back garden, showing off some trademark dance moves, saying “You guys, how I love the snow — and I’m going out in it!”

    As he entered his garden, topless, he gasped, as the cold weather hit him, he shivered, “It’s cold! It’s cold!” — before going full force into the garden saying, “Come on, let’s have it!”.

    The singer then, surprisingly plunged chest first into the icy cold snow – in an attempt to do a breakdancing move, however, it didn’t really work out as he planned, as he hit the deck, Murs clearly hadn’t realised how cold the snow would be on his bare skin.

    “Cold As Ice” played on his phone. Getting up from the lawn and hugging his torso he shouted “Don’t try this at home!” to his millions of fans.

    Olly Murs attempts "the worm" dance move, but the frozen ground was just too hard.

  • The Government want to end new HIV transmission in England by 2030

    The UK’s government will today say it is committed to ending new HIV transmissions in England by the year 2030. Speaking at the HIV/AIDS Summit in London, Secretary of State for Health & Social Care, Matt Hancock MP is expected to say,  “So today we’re setting a new goal: eradicating HIV transmission in England by 2030. No new infections within the next decade. Becoming one of the first countries to reach the UN zero infections target by 2030.”

    The Department for Health & Social Care has confirmed that an expert group will now be established to develop an action plan over the course of this year. They have said that prevention will be at the heart of this commitment, alongside measurable action points for each group who are at risk of infection, including gay and bisexual men, Black African and minority ethnic (BAME) groups and for all other heterosexuals, and extensive monitoring of progress.

    This news follows the UK meeting the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets in November 2018, ahead of the 2020 deadline, with 92% of people living with HIV diagnosed; 98% of those on treatment; and 97% of those have an undetectable viral load, which means they can’t pass on HIV.

    “Government has shown decisive leadership on HIV”

    Ian Green, Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust said, “Today’s commitment is a seminal moment in the fight to end new HIV transmissions in England. In becoming one of the first nations to make such a commitment, the Government has shown decisive leadership on HIV and we applaud them for making this pledge.

    “We now have the tools to end HIV transmissions. Through regular HIV testing, condom use, access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), prevention information and advice, and effective treatment which means people living with HIV cannot pass on the virus, we can stop HIV in its tracks. That’s why Terrence Higgins Trust has been vocal in our call for this ambitious but achievable commitment.

    “For England to reach zero new HIV transmissions, the Department for Health & Social Care, Public Health England, alongside local authorities, must now urgently work in collaboration to address some of the most pressing HIV issues. These include stepping up HIV testing to ensure the 8,000 people who remain undiagnosed can get onto treatment, immediately adding more places to the PrEP trial and ensuring sexual health services are properly funded. Without these actions, this commitment simply won’t be achievable.

    “The clock has now started ticking towards the end of HIV transmissions in England. Today’s commitment demonstrates that the Government has listened to our demand for a bold vision on HIV. Now it must act upon our call to ensure services and interventions are urgently put in place to ensure that by 2030 this pledge is made a reality.

  • Jason Gardiner reunites feud with Gemma Collins after liking “Karma” tweets

    Jason Gardiner reunites feud with Gemma Collins after liking “Karma” tweets

    Jason Gardiner is in danger of reunited the feud between him and Dancing On Ice contestant Gemma Collins after liking a slew of negative tweets aimed at the TOWIE star.

    During last weekend’s episode, an audience of millions watched as Gemma Collins hit the decks during her performance in Dancing On Ice. The feud was first started when Jason launched a tirade against the TOWIE fave and seemed to call her “mediocre”.

    Gemma then swiped back during a live show, in which she said that he had been selling stories about her. Jason then allegedly threatened to sue the reality star.

    However, after her fall on the last show, things between the two had seemed to simmer down. With Gemma racking up a respectable 16.5 points from the judges.

    However, now, Jason has liked a number of comments which describe Gemma as “Vile” and that the fall had been a result of “karma”.

    One read: “Oh @officialJasonG how we all laughed. That’s what ya call karma. Just cannot believe shes still there!!! I no im [sic] evil.”

    Another said: “Keep going as u are, the likes of Gemma Collins makes me sick. She shouldn’t be In the show. Vile. Your [sic] a brilliant judge and know what your [sic] taking about (sic).”

    “Sometimes KARMA is there just staring at you straight in the face. When you fall on it. #honestjudge #myhonestopinion,” somebody else commented.

     

    Dancing On Ice is on ITV, Sunday at 6 pm

  • Toronto’s gay serial killer pleads guilty to eight murders

    Bruce McArthur has pleaded guilty to the murder of eight men in the city of Toronto.

    Bruce McArthur pleaded guilty on Tuesday (January 29) to the first-degree murders of eight men between 2010 and 2017. McArthur appeared at the Superior Court of Justice, in Toronto where he entered guilty pleas for the killings of Kirushna Kumar Kanagaratnam, Majeed Kayhan, Skandaraj (Skanda) Navaratnam and Abdulbasir Faizi, Selim Esen, Soroush Mahmudi, Dean Lisowick and Andrew Kinsman.

    Despite pleading his crime he did not answer as to why he had killed the men.

    During their investigations, detectives found dismembered human remains in some 20 planters at a property which was used by McArthur. Detectives on the case made an extensive search of more than 30 other properties that are linked to McArthur.

    Seven of McArthur’s victims were known to Toronto’s gay community, and some of them were also immigrants from South Asia or the Middle East.

    During the trial, the court heard how many of his victims were dismembered and buried in planters. McArthur was a self-employed landscape gardener.

    Toronto Police detective David Dickinson said, “We are pleased that McArthur has pleaded guilty, sparing the communities and families a lengthy trial.

    “This is the best outcome… I hope we can start bringing some closure to the families and the communities.”

    The police have not yet finished investigating cold cases with Dickinson adding, “It’s not ending any time soon.”

    When asked why McArthur committed the murders, the Detective added, “I don’t know if we will ever know why.”

    Arthur will be sentenced in early February.

    This small biz in the US, really doesn’t want your $$$

    So should we oblige them?

    Christian business owners Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski in the US are even going to court to fight for the right to ensure they are not forced to provide services to gay people getting married. The duo makes and sell wedding invitations and say that their Christian beliefs are so strong that they shouldn’t be forced to make products for LGBT+ people getting hitched. They also believe that their freedom of speech is being curtailed.

    They had their legal counsel, Kate Anderson from ADF Legal, speak to the rather silent media pool about their decision to take their case to the Arizona Supreme Court.

    It all boils down to the fact that Joanna and Breanna feel that making gay marriage invitations would go against their religious beliefs and should be able to do this without being punished. This is despite the fact that they’ve never been actually undertaken a job to make invitations for any same-sex couples before they brought the case.

    Duka and Koski’s business is called Brush & Nib Studios and is based out of Arizona, and Arizona state law forbids companies from discriminating against the LGBT+ community.

  • Boyfriend and family of young man who died by suicide to host one last party

    Boyfriend and family of young man who died by suicide to host one last party

    The boyfriend and family of a young man who died after taking his own life is to host a party in his honour to raise money for the charity, YoungMinds.

    Lee, who died last year with his boyfriend, Nathan.

    The family and boyfriend of a young man who died after taking his life last year are hoping to raise much needed funds for the leading mental health charity, YoungMinds by putting on a party to celebrate his life. He died just a month before his 18th birthday.

    Lee’s family is fundraising for the charity via a GoFundMe page with the proceeds going directly to help with YoungMinds’ mission.

    Writing on the page, Nathan wrote, “We are hosting this party a year on to celebrate his life and regroup as friends and family. I’ll go dressed as a unicorn, as I am sure my boy would want me to (he loved them!)”.

    Lee with his Mum and his siblings

    Speaking to THEGAYUK, Nathan told us about Lee saying, “He was warm, kind and exceptionally thoughtful. I knew from the moment we met that he would be a huge part of my life”.

    The pair met in Liverpool, where on their first date, they “walked along the docks and read all of the padlocks”.

    When Nathan went to university, the pair became penpals, Nathan told us, “He was my pen pal too, we would write each other letters, even though he would come and visit me at university”.

    Nathan also told us what life has been like following Lee’s passing saying, “My advice is to talk. Make the most of the people you love and care about. Try not to be unkind.

    Lee and Nathan together.

    “Someone’s mental state doesn’t bleed like a wound, nor can it be fixed with a plaster. It’s so much more complicated. You cannot see it, but so often people are bleeding.

    “If you are hurting, remember that your pain is felt by many people. All people have bad days and most people get through them. Please find the strength to realise that everyone is blessed with the ability to listen. Your parents, your friends. Your doctor. Talking might not help at first, but it’s a start. Begin helping others and begin helping yourself”.
