If you want good sex for me, and for you even more, I am a young and broke very kinky gay kid who has no types and is open to anything.

(I don’t know who I’m looking for, or why it’s taken so long to get to this point, I’m just grateful it’s done.)

(I’m masculine in general but I’m very effeminate in bed, multiple personalities of the Gemini I suppose.)

(I’m open to a regular thing or a sugar daddy, but he has to have a high sex drive and want to do different things everytime.)

If you wanna have the best sex you have ever had in your life with possibly the most beautiful twink to ever walk the face of the earth, make him sniff poppers.

Cerulean – Jul 23, 2018
He doesn’t state this but he does porn under the name Alam Wernick and if you’ve seen his porns you know that if your goal in life is to fuck the cutest man possible, he eats that bread.

Turning this stunningly cute, physical perfect twinky jock into a craven girl simulacrum with my cock is something I will never forget for the rest of my life.

I smothered him with my butt. If you have never heard of facesitting and think you might be interested try looking up some videos. This was about facesitting/smothering and not rimming. If you like the idea of smothering a boy with your butt I recommend him.

I just lost yet another sugar dad, sadly looking again ?‍♂️

I should probably give up the search considering my record of failures but I get off to it so why not.

I say fuck you to the haters and the ones who scorn and talk behind my back.

I want to scream out loud. I love you dad! Fuck me. But instead I create this profile.

I want to meet a dad who also doesn’t give a fuck (anymore). I’m looking for that dad with a hot load who can change my life forever.

My body is a temple… like one of those weird ones in Asia where they let monkeys shit all over the place.

Guestbook of i_need_a_sugar_dad

daniellasrs – Aug 10, 2018
I was his dad for a while late last year. He’s good at the start but he has been a hoe for the better part of his life. So there’s not much that hasn’t been done to him. So there’s no freshness. So whatever you have in mind for him remember he has already been there and done that.

I am not into doing it at a bar or sauna or folsom or something.
No cybersex- dont ask me to do something etc with some BS that I have to prove myself etc you know who you are.
No free hookups – have to get paid I’m old fashion now or sick of it.
And another thing I’m so lonely.

Guestbook of infinity_road

Assconnoisseur – Jul 19, 2018
the loneliness he speaks of was quite palpable. I found that problematic.

DieselDan – Jul 14, 2018
My primary activity with him was “ass play” but I put it in quotes here because I think the term is superficial and doesn’t adequately describe what I desire most out of those experiences. “Play” especially lacks a certain seriousness and air of reality. But “ass play” rolls off the tongue far more easily than “recreational ass”, so I guess we’ll stick with it.

joshua1038 – Jul 6, 2018
He’s a fem guy you either love him or hate him, not very lively,not fun when not naked,hard to understand Indian(?) accent, hole so loose you could give helicopter tours ? Otherwise he’s nice ?

maybe_i_want_u – Jun 24, 2018
I loved his ass…its Indianness, its gold color like an Academy Award, the fresh scent of it when I’d deep cleaned it for deep play, how warm and tight it felt when fingers or cock initially slid into it, the way it relaxed and began to gape when it had been used enough, how sloppy it looked after being stretched and used, the glistening shine of it when it had been lubed up, the way it leaked fuck juices and most importantly, the way it tasted before, during, and after it had been fucked and played with really well. ** I love the words pussy and cunt. **

Hey Peeps, I’m Olli, I am a male body, I am the body you need in your life, long hair to play with, wanna put makeup on me? I don’t care. Wanna talk about your week, not a problem, Have kids or are blind? Doesn’t bother me 🙂 You are probably wondering about my look? I wear eyeliner as my style is being an 80’s rocker (so bon jovi and stuff like that) I don’t wear it all the time but it helps me feel good. When not fucking I love talking about things such as ghosts and aliens, just all sorts of things. Age is not a problem with me (if you are older that is, youngest i would fuck is 21 maybe 20 if we really hit off) I do want to have my own biological children one day though, so if you don’t want them, i respect your decision but sex is all you’re going to get outta me.

No complaint about his service (hot!) but a warning that if you invite him to your hotel any employees or guests who see you with him will know you’re about to fuck a trashy prostitute. I don’t think he can be spun as anything else.

Paris is perfect … “Weird” is fine… give me a couple of days to masturbate and think about it.

chocochaud – Aug 10, 2018
Well you should come to Paris, the French do it best so I’ll leave it as that.
Been sexual and exploring different type of sexual behaviors since I can remember, so nothing is too “weird” for me…and it will get “weird” for you too ?
Also don’t hesitate to ask what I mean by “weird”, my therapist says communication is key.

Alterer – Aug 3, 2018
Interested in Hamburg? Seeking a boy to alter his mind, turn him into an animal without the need to think, talk, stand on two legs.

Keep as a pet or farm animal for use for the rest of his time and once fully transformed use him for him new purpose, sell him or keep him as my own?

If u don’t mind I would like to tell you something about myself. I’m the blank canvas that ur art teacher told you to go crazy on. I view myself as as an ever changing and moldable piece of art. Mold me into an utterly unique artwork. This view of myself shapes and colors my relationships with those I am closest to. This is a subject I very much enjoy discussing, but in the interest in staying concise, I will break off here. Oh, I’m also a virgin, if that matters, not that I think it does.

I am not that complicated, damaged yeah but like who isn’t in one way or another. I have no Type, Young/Old, Heavy Set/Anorexics, … I don’t have like a Solid “thing” …. Well maybe getting fucked, but everyone’s into that… oh yeah… getting fisted is awesome…. but I haven’t had that done to me in like 1 1/2 years, or actually had sex in 1 1/2 yrs either… It’s complicated …..

In person I’m pretty quiet but if you get me talking I have a huge mass of Useless information on a wide variety of topics that I usually don’t know that I have accumulated till it flies out of my mouth and sometimes it even amazes me that I even know the stuff cause it’s not like I have it shot gunned and ready to go. Usually someone says something and this whole dossier of stuff flies out and it’s right on point.

I can’t hook up right now… I’m in Treatment… this long term court ordered thing… Fuck it’s killing me and working my last good Gay Nerve but what can you do. We can write letters, I love to write by hand and I’ll try not to get too heavy about my past or damage… lol … and we can hook up sometime … I don’t know when tho, I’m pretty incarcerated.

This is a general question to the community that isn’t really about this escort (good lay, recommended) but occasioned by him. Does anyone else find themselves in the middle of feasting on a boy’s parts suddenly realising that part of what you’re tasting is your own mouth then getting grossed out and losing your erection?

I find it so deeply depressing that increasing numbers of cute fem gay boys are “transitioning” into women. It’s tragic for the gay community that an important segment of our species is being erased. I consider it not only irresponsible but a crime of genocide.

p.s. Hey. ** Chris, Hi, Chris! Thanks about the gif thing. It’s not a story, it’s just an exercise. Super empty feeling here too, like I said. It feels peaceful even though it’s just as crowded albeit mostly with tourists who are actually much noisier than Parisians. Strange. Wish I could see those gigs of yours, naturally. Oh, cool, about the conversation re: THEM with you and Ish. Curious to see what you guys say and think with this bit of distance. I think probably staying incommunicado with him is a prescient idea? My guess. Based on my stuff. But still. Sorry, pal. Excited to see you in Sept. too, and for you to see the film. Incredibly psyched here. The Whitney Wojnarowicz group reading thing in which I’m doing whatever little bit I do is on the 7th. Had a coffee with Rico yesterday. Stay great. ** David Ehrenstein, Rivette! Always a gorgeous add. The NYT won’t let me inside, but whatever is there will undoubtedly filter down through the usual channels. Thank you. ** Sypha, Well, me too. But unfortunately it wasn’t a close encounter of any kind, just a bunch of zigzagging lights in the night sky over Honolulu that are depressingly explainable in retrospect as jets. One man’s tic is another man’s delicious morsel. I’m that another man. ** Steve Erickson, Sensible doctor, it sounds like. Well, yeah, a bit tight there between the cinematographer check and the shoot, but great for them and inherently for you by consequence. A free lunch is a free lunch, but I nonetheless speculate that your declining of that particular lunch was a decent decision. It’s good that Rupert Everett’s horrifying face lift finally grew in and started aging and that he’s allowing it to. Last I checked. ** Misanthrope, Hey. I had a urinary tract infection once. I don’t think it was much more than an annoyance that I can barely remember anymore. Yeah, you’re right, although I have to say when I see UFO sighting claims, my first reaction is a kind of skepticism that I’ve felt so many times it is kind of boring. Luckily people don’t seem to have sightings in the area of Area 51 anymore, which is good because, man, talk about boring. I didn’t hit that bakery with American cakes. I got sidelined by the fun fair in the Tuileries. But I did eat a mighty fine crepe with chocolate sauce, bananas, and a Mt. Everest of whipped cream on top, which was a pretty American crepe choice. Your London is sorted to the max! Sweet. ** Shane Christmass, Hey, Shane! Cool to see you, man! Wow how could I have not known that Village People song. But then again, it does make sense that they recorded than just those three ubiquitous songs. Thanks! Your post about the Spaceman and the MIB? No, I didn’t see that. I almost never go back to check the comments on the posts once they’ve passed, which I should do. Re-post the comment? Email? No, but I’ll go check. I’m terrible with email. But I’ll go look. It’s probably there. Sorry. You good? ** JM, Hi. Yeah, that problem of getting the previous post instead of the current one is one of those unsolvable random problems that this blog is currently dealing with. In other words, yeah, I didn’t see that. But now I do. Don’t agree with you at all about Grandrieux. People say that about Bresson too. I guess my answer is: not the case for me? Good, you guys are safely in tune, as it were. Congrats to you both. The Noe is lots of fun, but it’s very, very expectedly Noe in a very Noe way. I just read something about ‘Wild Pear Tree’ the other day, strange. Can’t remember what it said though. I’ll hunt that. Ascetic art gets a big bunch of thumbs up from me, duh. Float down stream. My ups outnumber my downs, at least as of this typing. It sure seems like that’s your deal too. Happy mid-month. ** Right. Everybody knows that when the month strikes 15, what is currently happening above this p.s. always happens, and it has happened again, all for you. See you tomorrow.

‘Ben Youssef uses a TR-808 to reimagine the many traditional rhythms and instruments of the Maghreb—an area that spans most of Northern Africa, from Mauritania to Libya—through a sci-fi lens in order to warn the region’s dwellers about an impending bleak future, and to spur them into action. By putting instruments like the gasba flute, the zokra bagpipe, and the guembri guitar through the filters of the iconic 808 and bending these sounds into surprising and often unrecognizable forms, Ben Youssef joins the ranks of artists shedding a light on North African futurism by taking a critical and nuanced look at past traditions and remaking them into something that can serve as a window to the region’s unique heritage for the citizens of a distant future.’ — band camp daily

Body/Head  You Don’t Need
‘It feels odd to talk about control when discussing Body/Head. Kim Gordon and Bill Nace’s grinding guitar duets seem primed for letting go, with both members surrendering their musical egos to the flow of their noises and textures. They get out of their own way, carving out ample time for each piece to gestate, grow, and ripen. Dig deeper into their songs, though, and the discipline in Gordon and Nace’s approach emerges. No matter how far they stretch, their tones and rhythms always cohere, making their music as mesmerizing as a hypnotist’s swinging clock.’ — Marc Masters

E-Saggila Through Concrete
‘Whether be industrial noise, blistering rave breakbeats or dark techno atmospherics—they’re all effortlessly joined and projected in impressive live immersion by Toronto-based musician Rita Mikhael, known in her solo efforts as E-Saggila.’ — noberg

Nadine Byrne Dreaming Remembering
‘One of three Stockholm-based Byrne sisters along with Tanya, her partner in Ectoplasm Girls, and Ambra, who has recently provided EG’s live visuals, Nadine operates at the intersection of intuitive sonic and visual arts. Where Ectoplasm Girls tend to a bewitched sort of industrial experimentation, Nadine’s personal work is defined in terms of its relative, mutable electronic sleight of hand, with vocals handled by the mysterious Sarah Kim. As the title connotes, Dreaming Remembering is about intimate reflection and the space between awareness and uncertainty of recollection. In that noumenal gooch, Nadine works an incredible freeform, uncluttered sound best resembling the illusive nature of dreams and their elusive memory. In her mind and out of her machines, they feel out a spectrum ranging from mirage-like vignettes like Atlas thru to curdled proto-techno buzzes and grubby drone intonations with wickedly possessed vocals.’ — boomkat

Shygirl Gush
‘South East London singer and DJ Blane Muise recently explained that her Shygirl moniker had nothing to do with timidity. The alter ego Muise inhabits on her debut solo EP, Cruel Practice, isn’t afraid to approach others—she’s simply “not down for small talk.” In Shygirl’s world, “time is precious.” She hates when people waste hers, and it shows in a dark, seething persona that combines venomous lyricism with tar-boiling industrial beats.’ — Margaret Farrell

The New Blockaders & GX Jupitter-Larsen Live at Extreme Rituals
‘The New Blockaders scrambled so many circuits that its influence is inestimable. It is both ultra-sophisticated and jaw-droppingly crude, a freely improvised electro-acoustic session that utilizes the sound of wheelchair runners, broken glass and bowed metal in order to access a zone of complete brain-stilling gridlock. One of the first post-Throbbing Gristle recordings to run an umbilical to the classical noise of the 20th century.’ — David Keenan

Michael Beharie / Teddy Rankin-Parker Gully
‘The names of multi-instrumentalist Michael Beharie and cellist Teddy Rankin-Parker probably won’t ring bells for many people, but their list of accomplishments is long: Their genre-spanning CVs would make for a pretty unusual playlist, with credits ranging from Primus to Iron & Wine, Au Revoir Simone to Laurel Halo, Pauline Oliveros to Father John Misty. They finally came together for their first record as a duo, A Heart From Your Shadow, spending time at Beharie’s living-room studio in Bed-Stuy and at a proper studio in Greenpoint; Jim O’Rourke handled mixing duties. Across 10 fractured pieces, Beharie and Rankin-Parker flit through a number of modes: gorgeous strings, drone blasts, polyrhythmic din, spoken-word études, electronic spasms, and more, never feeling the need to settle on any one for long. Like being elbowed on a crowded subway by a good-looking stranger, you come away feeling at once jostled and besotted by the results.’ — Andy Beta

Yves Tumor Noid
‘On first blush, “Noid” could sit comfortably among the past decade’s neo-disco, with its canned strings that whir cheerily over a chunky dance beat and a buoyant bassline. While the lyrics hint at a certain darkness—“Sister, mother, brother, father/Have you looked outside?/I’m scared for my life,” Tumor sings with a rasp, obliquely echoing Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”—the instrumentation’s upbeat pulse seems to bury the anxiety. Then, about halfway through, “Noid” starts to come apart: The beat grows more complex, the bass starts falling out of key, and the strings give way to faraway shrieks and low electronic groans. Tumor repeats the lyrics of the first verse, but the rest of the song has transformed into a jagged, toothy snarl.’ — Sasha Geffen

Container Eject
‘For all the noise, chaos, and dysfunction flowing through Ren Schofield’s work as Container, the Nashville techno producer never aims for less than total euphoria. That trancelike drive—as indebted to minimal techno greats like Daniel Bell and Robert Hood as it is Schofield’s early days in the Providence, Rhode Island noise scene—allows his music to sound perpetually on the verge of rattling apart. Even when spiraling into ear-searing psychedelia, Container is sturdily reinforced by a core of pure joy, an impish glee fueling its destructive drive. On his fourth album, LP, Schofield pushes his ramshackle rave music to its breaking point—and yet he’s never made an album that holds together quite as well as this.’ — Miles Bowe

Cruel Diagonals Itinerant Solitude
Disambiguation, Megan Mitchell’s debut album as Cruel Diagonals (premiering below), is a captivatingly eerie wash of experimental electronic music. Each of its radon-heavy songs grew out of field recordings that Mitchell captured in the Pacific Northwest, usually by “activating the space,” banging on a rusting sheet or swiping at a metal plate. The sounds that thrum through the tracks were recorded in abandoned environments—partly because they provide her with more interesting acoustics, partly because she got used to them growing up near a naval base in Alameda, California. On Disambiguation, noises either crawl into the mix and leave before the listener has a chance to guess at their origins, or they mingle to the point that focusing on anything else is impossible.’ — Alex Robert Ross, Noisey

 

________________
Amnesia Scanner AS A.W.O.L
‘Ville Haimala and Martti Kalliala’s music is more than a swirl of reference points, and “AS A.W.O.L.” — from the group’s forthcoming debut LP Another Life — works as both a high-minded critique of technology and a concentrated dose of nightmarish pop. The song’s intro is spare and metallic before dropping the listener into a stew of anxious percussion and molasses-thick bass synths. The core of the track is a single towering hook, with inhuman vocals that move from slow-motion lows to piercing highs: “You try to set me up/You try to shut me down,” sings the spectral protagonist. Later, pitched-up and chopped-up: “I’m going A.W.O.L.” Amnesia Scanner credits the vocalist as “a disembodied voice called Oracle, which represents the sentience that has emerged from Amnesia Scanner.”— Nathan Reese

Alex Zhang Hungtai Pierrot
‘As he himself says, Alex Zhang Hungtai composed Divine Weight, the first album under his own name, out of scraps — discarded saxophone recordings that hadn’t materialized into anything concrete. Laying there, unused, they had to be radically changed, pushed to their limits. Cut up, looped, resynthesized again and again until they became the building blocks of a spectral cathedral of the unknown. The resulting compositions sound like church music of a nomad seeing ghosts of different times in different places, some long forgotten and some barely known. The music of Divine Weight is endlessly shifting and mutating, both crushingly heavy and weightless, ensuring that the album’s divinity does not lend itself to easy comprehension or one-dimensional understanding. Its ethereal presence is not given; it seeps in through the cracks, distant yet nearby, embracing yet cold, unforgiving. A prayer spoken from another world; the image of luminous specks of life seen in the neon lights of Hong Kong, of a god formed in cracked concrete.’ — ACEDIA

p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Ha ha, you know your stuff, sir. ** Tosh Berman, I had this suspicion or at least hope that you might cotton to that particular post. Thanks, T. ** Jamie, Hi, man. I did? Cool. Yeah, it kind of worked, right? It was all about the camera angles, or largely, I think. I love and miss 45s too. And, yeah, cut out magic cardboard discs. I even love flexi-discs, and they were basically useless apart from their endearing flimsiness. But I digress. My Thursday had a great blissed overlayer or underlayer or something because it was so cool outside that I even got to wear a coat. Man oh man. Otherwise, it was work on the usual things that need not even be identified. But it was good. And a bit of this and that. And I managed to buy some cheddar cheese, which not easy to find here in France, and I took it home and melted it on things, and, man oh man, had I missed cheddar cheese. Hooray to say the least about you’re feeling so good! And I can totally see how watching Artistic Gymnastics would be fascinating. That sports/art cusp can really work sometimes. I mean … synchronised swimming, what more need I say? Friday … more usual work. Hopefully finish and send off the ARTE proposal to our producer. Get close to finishing the new film treatment. Hopefully get a yes or no on the London PGL screening. Eat more cheddar cheese. Stuff like that. And you and yours? How’s that play going? I hope your Friday gives you writerly talent that Beckett would crawl across the Sahara to have had. Released from prison love, Dennis. ** Steve Erickson, Oh, nice about the Smithsonian share. I’ll delve. Curious to read your take on the Travis Scott. And on the film too. Everyone, Do you want to know what Steve thinks about the new Travis Scott album? Find out. Do you want to know what he thinks about Tim Wardle’s documentary THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS? Find out. The CD fetish is arriving just about right on schedule. I’m down. I don’t know about the RaMell Ross documentary, but now I’m peeled. Thanks. I did not know that about an Allen Ravenstine album. Now that’s potentially interesting. ** Bill, Hey. Cool. Oh, no, about the access issue. God, I hope it was a blip. Do give that sketch some serious love. I’m talking LTR, 24/7, sugardaddy love. ** JM, Hi. Thank you. That was my aim, in fact. And theirs too, no doubt, had they been sentient. I’m a bit of a prose nazi. Has its ups and downs. Your vinyl shop is a fucking fascist! No, I’m kidding. My day is destined to be very much about the getting there, albeit with the fidgeting, glaring product off there in the near distance. Yours too! ** _Black_Acrylic, We speak the same language! Well, I guess we always have. But maybe the post helped us cut through the clutter of our respective regional accents, if we have them. I’ve never heard of that Mort Garson album. Youtube, here I come. Thank you, bud. ** Misanthrope, Yeah? Well, but then my wrong could be your right, and vice versa. So anything’s possible. I have a ton of colored vinyl back in my LA pad. And a slew of picture discs that look so cool but sound so crap. Main thing is to find out what’s fucking with you, and I’m glad you’re game for being searched and solved. Today’s your birthday? Holy moly, happy happy happy! Everyone, I never know if anyone actually reads these italicised interruptions, but, if you are, it’s Misanthrope’s birthday today, so do something wack or wish him a happy one or something. 47’s nothing. You’ve got ages to go before you’re a barely walking, talking sag fest. Enjoy! What kind of cake? ** H, Hi there, h! Great to see you! I’m good, in fact, thank you. Oh, wow, fantastic that your piece is out in the world! And desistfilm is an awesome site. So congrats to them and to you! I can’t wait to read it. Everyone, the mighty writer and thinker and being h has just had a piece on the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Pixelvision series published on the fine site desistfilm. So, a fascinating topic and, obviously, a fascinating writer, and you are most very highly encouraged if need be to go here and read ‘PIXELVISION: THE AFFINITIES WITH THE LOW-RES MATERIALITY OF THE WORLD’, as it’s called. That’s so great! The Lincoln Center event goes great, as far as I can tell. I think they’ll announce it any second. Take care. ** Corey Heiferman, You know me, I love them GIFs. That’s interesting. About your issue with digitised analogue. I think I’m interested in the translation. But I grew up reading 99% fiction translated from other languages. It does sound like your move has been a resounding success. And hopefully that will make whatever phantoms you run into over there no heavier than a bunch of Casper the Magic Ghosts. I like going over there. To LA especially since I actually live there part-time technically even though I’m hardly there these days. I like being over there while not being freighted with it. When I was living in Amsterdam I absolutely adored going to the States because my life in Amsterdam was an isolated, lonely, crazy thing. Seeing friends, eating in fave restaurants, the unbeatable quality of light in LA, driving. Yeah, I don’t have a problem being there. It either feels totally comfortable or it feels profoundly strange. Both are good. ** Okay. I made this month’s gig for you and am posting it today for no particular reason. I hope you’ll test the vids and find out if you like anything. See you tomorrow.
