10 Black Guys in Bondage

If you are attracted to black men and to men in bondage, why not combine the two?

It's not that easy.  There are very few gay black men into BDSM, and those few are usually tops.  After years of collecting, I have only about 100 photos and videos, and those are mostly movie caps.

Here are my favorite non-movie photos of black men in bondage.

1. Nice biceps and abs on display.

2. The cropping is a little off, but you can't complain about that sculpted physique.

3. Two guys together is always hotter than a guy alone.

4.  Where to classify him: black men, bondage, or men in suits?

5. The red shorts contrast beautifully with the gleaming abs.

More after the break.

6.  Arms behind the back, and a camouflage jockstrap.

7.  Not very muscular, but have you ever seen such long arms? 

8.  Mature men in bondage.

9. Massive chest.

10. Spreadeagle on the bed.

Maxwell Caulfield: Responding to Gay Rumors with Homophobia

Have you heard of Maxwell Caulfield?  During my senior year in college, he was being hailed the Next Big Thing.

Born in Scotland, Caulfield moved to London at age 15 and became a nude dancer at the infamous Windmill Cinema.  At age 18, he came to the U.S., and quickly got cast in the gay-themed stage farce Hotrock Hotel (1978), then the gay-themed Entertaining Mr. Sloane (1981), by Joe Orton.

In 1982, he won out over thousands of hopefuls to star in the sequel to Grease, the most popular movie musical of all time.

Grease 2 premiered in June 1982 to a huge hype campaign.

The box office wasn't exactly miserable, but it didn't match expectations by a long shot.

Singing "Rock-a-Hula Luau" was not exactly helpful to Caulfield's career.

In the homophobic 1980s, the gay rumors didn't help, either.

He starred in a few horrible-sounding tv movies, such as Electric Dreams (1984), about a guy and a computer both in love with the same woman, and The Supernaturals (1986), about an army of dead Confederate soldiers still fighting the Civil War.

And The Boys Next Door (1985), an intensely homphobic movie in which a straight guy (Caulfield) is lured into a mass-murder spree by his closeted-gay friend (future jerk Charlie Sheen) go on a killing spree because, of course, gay people are all psycho killers waiting to happen.

It could also be read as a commentary on Caulfield's career: "Look, I was lured into playing those gay roles by evil gay producers.  It's not my fault."

He spent two years playing Miles Colby in the Dynasty spin-off The Colbys (1985-87).

Then it was back to bad, ridiculous, or homophobic movies.

Mind Games (1989): a couple goes camping, and encounters a psycho (Colby) who has sinister designs on their son.

Dance with Death (1992); Murders at a strip club.

Animal Instincts (1992): Porn.

He's been more successful on stage, with starring roles in Joe Orton's Loot, Tryst, Cactus Flower, female impersonator Charles Busch's Our Leading Lady, and Chicago.

The Hottest Beefcake at the Hottest Colleges in the U.S.

College Magazine also lists the colleges with the hottest guys.  I'm not sure how you can generalize the hotness of thousands of guys, and isn't it supposed to be in the eye of the beholder.  But let's see if we can find some good beefcake photos.

1. University of Georgia, Athens.  Enrollment 37,000.  Very pretty campus, with a lot of fake-Greek architecture, but I couldn't find any photos of hot UGA Bulldogs.  This is a wrestler from Brewton-Parker, a Baptist college in Mount Vernon, Georgia, 150 miles from Athens.

2. Florida State University, enrollment 42,000.  In Tallahassee, the panhandle of the state, so it's culturally closer to Alabama and Georgia than to the palm trees of South Beach.  The guy on the left is not bad -- I like how his swimsuit is falling off -- but the others are a little scrawny.

3. Colgate University, enrollment 3,000.  An exclusive private college in Upstate New York that regularly tops the list of "highest tuition."  Your parents have to be rich, but not influential enough to get you into Harvard.

The swim team isn't bad; I like the black speedos.  But I wouldn't mind seeing some variation in skin color.

4. University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, enrollment 38,000.  I dated a Crimson Tide football player once.  He had never eaten Thai food, and didn't know about the Stonewall Riots.

I rate these four swim stars (left to right) as: maybe, if he buys me dinner; hot; country-western singer ugly; and...um...

5. University of Florida, Gainesville, enrollment 52,000.  In the U.S., typically "universities" are more elite than "state universities": they offer doctorates, they have research professors, and the students are more academically oriented.  And hotter.

6. University of Southern California. My old alma mater.  Of the two major universities in Los Angeles, UCLA is middle-brow, USC high-brow.  The Philosophy Library is a work of art.  And their team is named after a condom (just kidding -- after the Trojans, the biggest losers in history)

7. Clemson University, enrollment 22,000, somewhere in South Carolina.  In spite of its name, it's public.

Sorry, I'm still not going to South Carolina.

8. Arizona State University in Tempe (a suburb of Phoenix), enrollment 72,000.  Surely with 36,000 men and all that sunshine, there will be a lot of hunks wandering about.

Not these four.

9. Bowdoin College in Maine, enrollment 1,800.  I did a postdoc there, and hated the elitist students, for whom Bowdoin was a safety school.  They made fun of me when I jogged.

10. Boston College (Catholic, 14,000 enrolled), not to be confused with Boston University (Methodist, 32,000 enrolled), three miles away.

Here are two men from the College.
