Men Are Pigs Everywhere: Differences of Sex between UK and US Men

I am just back from my interview with Gaydar here in London where I got to discuss the difference of the sucess of the site in different places (countries, even cities).

I just read this article about Gay men in the U.K. and the U.S. differ in definitions of sex. By Celeste Lavin.

A recent study conducted by the Kinsey Institute found that gay men in the U.K. and the U.S. define having “had sex” differently.

I quite agree. But it is more than just "intercourse behaviour" gap. Afterall the British men also want sex in all kinds of forms. Men are pigs wherever you are on earth. It is just their approach when it comes to "seducing", "hunt" and "sexing up" without showing much passion what in my opinion makes the big difference. American men are very passionate while English (this excludes Scotish, Welsh and Irish) men are rather uncommunicative what it may mislead to an interpretation they are cold.

It is a behavioural attitude in terms of personality what makes the big difference, not their different conceptions about sex and intercourse.

I have paradoxically had more sex in the UK with American men than with UK men. I believe many of the British men are very gorgeous and lovely people but too shy (if not drunk) to come out even for a quickie. And, of course British men lack of being "too direct" in international standards. And, yes, that's a big turned off. It reminds of my native Uruguay because of the red tape and feeling separate from the rest of people feeling like an oyster. This is the way I feel sometimes despite the fact that in London there are so many foreigners that makes it easier to get by in terms of choices.

My British "lovers" are quite unclear and it looks like they are indecisive, thus I never know what to expect from them. I am afraid of being too direct and just ask them "what do you expect from me?".

This issue I have would not be a problem with American men because it would be just a routine question. Yet I am not sure the way a British person could take it, and I do not want to hurt anyone. So, I just get bored and move on, go on for other men who are more in my "tune" and show interest and/or kind of know what they are after without making it an issue.

To end up this entry I would like to highlight that I know US-gay-men standards to compy with while British men are not that easily standarized. And this is the main reason.

Very Impressive: Will get a cyber lover - Platonic Love

Lilita Carrio (political opposition) abstained from the debate and acted cowardly in my very opinion http://www.tn.com.ar/2010/05/05/politica/02191612.html but she is right when she says that Kirchnerismo never cared for the rights of the LGTB, and prove of it is that they are split, half of them will vote against marriage equility.

Cristina was brilliant when she brought it up as matter of diginity for the minorities, and we must support equality for everyone without guettoning.

Joaquin Morales Sola makes a good political analysis about it and then Carrio comes back to disagree with the Marriage Equality Bill. I used to admired her, and now I believe she is acting very conservative and politically moralist http://www.tn.com.ar/2010/07/13/politica/02205035.html

This is why I need to cheer Cristina's move and action. People know I dislike Kirchnerismo for many reasons but in this case the position from Nestor and Cristina has shown them as serious and professional politicians as they all should be (period).

Marriage equality one day will be something from the past. Something revolutionary could be this phenomenom "virtual humanity". Imagine a virtual husband?

London Lesson 1: Here & Now

Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche: Verbal Introduction to Zeitgeist, Final Edition

"Spirituality is a particular term which actually means dealing with
intuition. In the theistic tradition there is a certain notion of
clinging into a word. A certain act is regarded as displeasing to divine
principles. A certain act is regarded as pleasing for the divine...
whatever.

In the tradition of non-theism, however, it is very direct
that the case histories are not particularly important. What is
important is here and now.

Now is definitely now. We try to experience
what is available there, on the spot.

There is no point in thinking that
a past did exist that we could have now.

This is now, this very moment,
nothing mystical, just now, very simple, straight forward.

And from that nowness, however, arises a sense of intelligence,
always, that you are constantly interacting with the reality one by one,
spot by spot, constantly.

We actually experience fantastic precision always. But we
are threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future. Paying
attention to the materials that exist in our life, such rich life that
we lead, all these choices take place all the time, but none of them are
regarded as bad or good, per se, everything that we experience are
unconditional experience.

They don't come along with a label by saying
that this is regarded as bad, this is good, but we experience them but
we don't really pay heed to them properly, we don't actually regard that
we are going somewhere, regard that it is a hassle, waiting to be dead.

That's the problem. That is not trusting the nowness properly but what
is actually experienced now possesses a lot of powerful things. It is so
powerful that we can't face it. Therefore we have to borrow from the
past, invite future, all the time. Maybe that's why we seek religion,
maybe that's why we march in the street, maybe that's why we complain to
society, maybe that's why we vote for the presidents. It's quite
ironical, and very funny indeed..."

A Year in London!

Part of the London skills I learned is to be accurate and concise to suceed in whatever you are doing!

Today marks a year since the day I landed in London!

I may need more than a blog to write on all of my experiences here but rather to write a few books full of different chapters to cover pretty much of it, and still there's a lot of life left here to go on!

I am not longer a newcomer here but technically starting to be a "Londoner". I prefer to call it "in the process of becoming a local". I also understood I have no place on earth in particular. I feel I belong to the world in all of its different manifestations whether in anger, love, sadness and elation. It is all in me all the time.

Despite of all the informationI gathered in this passage so far the bottom line of all the stories may rely on the fact that everything that comes around in this world, or at least in a big city like London is about your personality. It is basically up to personality the way to work it out there!

I learned that lesson well. No matter how cute I may physically be, how very intelligent I may appear to be, how much wealthy and cultured, etc.: It is my very own personality that will be there to make my life worth it, to create reality, and to know more on almost everything.

Metaphysically speaking I may be equating personality to the cognitive aparatus that via the senses get to know the world and reality. This may be a good investigation to do: their comparisson in between. Perhaps someday. I do not have time now! I just wanted to make a brief entry on my London newcomer stage and reflect on it.

Money is all it matters baby: Gay Couples Get Equal Tax Treatment

I believe this move is the very key factor for the full recognition of US Federal Government of Same-sex Unions (whether full marriage or Partnerships). DOMA, DADT, ENDA, UAFA, and others are very important measures too but this is the tip of the iceberg.


WSJ's Laura Meckler joins the News Hub to discuss a new ruling by the IRS, which says same-sex couples must be treated the same as heterosexual couples under a feature of tax law.

Baby Love Protester

I was wondering of these riot dogs I was watching on BBC and other channels until I stumbled across this article in El Pais and did some research. Amazing!



More Picture of him here

Though there are many weapons available to the street protester, there is perhaps only one for which there is no defense: A really cute friggin’ dog. After Kanellos the Greek protest dog shot to fame when the Guardian published a photographic profile piece dedicated exclusively to him, careful observers started to notice that, hey!
