**Link to the n*de dudes**

When I last profiled Maxwell Jenkins, in April 2025, the former Lost in Space Will Robinson was starring in The Bondsman with Kevin Bacon and majoring in Global Studies at UCLA. He had a lot of beefcake and guy-hugging photos on his social media, leading me to conclude that he is "probably gay."

The Bondsman is finished, leaving Max free to concentrate on his studies, plus cheerleading and acrobatics. In August 2025, he posted some cute and romantic photos of his holiday in France with his boyfriend (so we can move from probablement to sans doute)

I've been to Paris several times, so I immediately recognized the Pompidou Centre, an event venue and art museum. in Les Halles. The Krash Bar, two floors of cavernous corridors full of guys anxious to hook up, is right around the corner.

Everybody who visits Paris for the first time has to see the Eifel Tower. After that, you give it a miss.

Same with the famous Moulin Rouge in Montmarte. But they have an interesting artists' market nearby, in the Place du Tertre.

Max's boyfriend is Shawn J., a Global Studies major at UCLA who runs the program Refugee Connect, offering direct assistance to refugees around the world.

You're supposed to do that with wine glasses, guys.

N*de Parisian dudes and travel tips after the break.

When I visit a city, I check out the bookstores, churches, museums, and n*de dudes, not necessarily in that order.

Bookstores: Shakespeare and Company and Gallimard, of course, but wander around the Latin Quarter, and you'll find dozens more, tiny shops on obscure streets with everything from Tintin in Corsican to first edition of Gide's gay novel Les Faux-Monnayeurs (1927) for ten euros.

Churches: Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Saint-Sulplice, and the Église Saint-Jacques in Montrouge (left).

Museums: Skip the Louvre's glass pyramid unless you want to spend 45 minutes waiting in line to see the Mona Lisa from 20 yards away. There are many more pleasant museums in Paris, like the Musée d'Orsay, the Orangerie, and the Musée Rodin.

N*de dudes: The last time I was in Paris, the best places to see (and meet) guys was at the Krash Bar, Secteur X, and the Bears Den (all with dark rooms).
