More faux blogging

In appreciation of Humans Living With Testosterone.

Just came across this fella's pictures this morning, half-consciously cyberlinking. As far as physical attributes go, I could not ask for more. A 5'9" furry mesomorph. His stage name, Cole Ryder.

Had a funny set of internal discussions with myself about this. I was going to post his picture because he embodied, literally, pretty well everything I most like in the male physique. But the shot which best shows him off has an at least partly erect penis in it. I suddenly felt an attack of modesty. If that --the penis, not the modesty--is going to offend you, don't scroll down to the bottom of the post. If that is likely to offend you, though, my guess is that you don't ever read this blog.

Then, linking around some more, I discovered that he had died last summer. His real name was Mike and he was only 36. Friends who have put up tributes to him, some of whom were at home with him when he passed away, have been at pains to deny that he had HIV or was taken by a staph infection. And they are equally clear that he was a very loveable, good-natured and decent guy. A dog-lover, which is usually a sign of good character.





Always sad when the young are taken before their time.

But, his own website is still up and this is an act of appreciation for me, not a pornographic event, So, here he is, as he was in life. A beautiful man on the outside for sure and, as his friends relate, on the inside, too. Rest in peace.
