THE BOTTOM LINE: A portion of the money you give to Manhunt has gone and apparently will continue to go to conservative Republican causes.

Get this – the owner of Manhunt has given the legal maximum to the McCain campaign. If in the past we boycotted companies like Coors for working against gay rights, I think we need to hold members of our own community to an even higher standard – especially ones that make their money by facilitating gay sex!

So here’s what I’d like you to do… Use the customer service link on Manhunt to tell them what you think of their owner’s politics. They’re making $30 million a year off of us having sex, they should not be working against us.

Next, make it so your membership does not automatically renew – change it so you have to manually renew. If they haven’t fixed the problem by the time your membership renewal date rolls around, don’t pay them more until they’ve reversed their policies (a big contribution to the Democrats would be nice.)

And lastly, put something in your profile telling other people to write customer service as well. Let’s make it clear that if they want our money they cannot support people who don’t like gay people.

Yes, they have every right to be self-hating jerks, but not with our money. Use Adam4Adam instead (it’s free), or better yet BarebackRT – anything but Manhunt. Do not give your money to someone who is going to give even a cent of it to the Republicans and set our rights back even further!

UPDATE:

Just to make things perfectly clear… Here is where McCain stands on gay rights vs say abortion rights (which we know Republicans hate) in terms of whether he’d consider a running mate who was pro-choice or pro-gay…

I think it’s a fundamental tenet of our party to be pro-life but that does not mean we exclude people from our party that are pro-choice. And I think Ridge is a great example of that. Far more so than Bloomberg, because Bloomberg is pro-gay rights, you know, a number of other issues.

So there you have it – being pro-gay is an anathema to the guy – pro-life he can live with (surprisingly), but not pro-gay – god forbid! Which explains why it’s unforgivable for the owner of Manhunt to give him money (in case there was any question).

UPDATE #2:

Well, there’s been a big development… The guy who donated to McCain (Jonathan Crutchley) has stepped down from Manhunt’s board of directors. The problem is that he’s probably still the main recipient of Manhunt’s profits. To me, that’s a good first step, but it’s not over yet… I want to know when I give them money that none of it will get to Republicans.

A massive donation by Jonathan Crutchley to a very liberal gay cause would go a long way right now…

UPDATE #3:

I had this whole blog post written which I’m not going to publish. The bottom line is Manhunt is a bit of a divided company. It appears the a majority shareholder (Larry Basile) is pretty liberal, but his co-founder (Jonathan Crutchley) is a Log Cabin Republican who gives to conservative causes. While Crutchley has stepped down he will continue to get a huge share of Manhunt’s profits and will continue to give to causes most of us abhor.

Manhunt (the company) is hiding behind the excuse that the company didn’t give the money, an individual did, but for me the bottom line is that money from customers is going to people and causes most of their customers have huge problems with. Yes, Crutchley has the right to give the money, but he shouldn’t expect his customers to want to give him more money to give to conservative causes.

The company is also being completely rude to their customers who object. If you put anything about it in your profile (like “I won’t fuck Republicans who give money to McCain”) they remove it and send a pissy message saying Manhunt is not a political forum. To me that’s bullshit. If their profits can go to conservative political causes, then they should at least allow funny polticial commentary in profiles. And for god’s sake – APOLOGIZE! The letter they send is so fucking harsh and never once acknowleges that people have a completely understandable reason for being mad at them.

Basically, given how they’ve handled the situation they’re saying what Crutchley did is reasonable. I have a big problem with that. They need to be on their knees apologizing for his actions and separating themselves from him. They really need to buy him out, bu I understand that takes time.

Here’s what I urge all of you to do…

• Stop giving Manhunt money
• Try out other hookup sites like BarebackRT and Adam4Adam
  
• When you have to ask other Manhunt members to e-mail you pics, explain why you don’t have a paid membership.

IMHO, I don’t think a formal boycott of Manhunt will work. The issue is too complicated since there are liberals at Manhunt, and people feel sorry for the employees of Manhunt. As far as the employees I’m not too worried about them as a group – the jobs Manhunt will lose, some other hookup site will gain.

But don’t take this lying down… Please send a clear message that Jonathan Crutchley is a liability for Manhunt and the sooner they buy him out, the better…

Load 2008-50

Well, with this fuck I hit 50 loads given so far this year. If things keep up I’ll hit 82 for the year… Not bad – way better than last year.

So this skinny Brazilian guy’s been hitting me up the past couple weeks on Manhunt, today I finally got to hookup with him. After doing the research study interview at CHEST I headed over to his place. When I saw the building I thought his place was going to be a miserable hell hole, but while it was really small it turned out to be not so bad…

He was a really sweet guy – skinny as a rail and somewhat child-like even though he was in his 30s… He was so happy I was hooking up with him… He wanted to put on a blindfold (he thought I was the only guy on the Internet who was also into blindfolds), but his building didn’t have a buzzer system so he put it on after we had met and chatted – it was more about him concentrating on the fuck rather than being an anonymous thing…

He took off his clothes pretty quickly he must have had a 27 or 28 inch waist and was so skinny he had a 6 pack – plus he was Latino – so he was definitely my type and I had zero problem popping a woodie. Before he put the blindfold on he pointed out where the lube and condoms were and then made it clear the condoms were completely optional.

We got down to business pretty quickly. He got on the bed and I pulled off his underwear and started eating out his ass. He was loving it – sorta whimpering and saying stuff I didn’t understand while I was eating him out. His ass was so skinny it was really pretty hot. His hole looked like it had gotten fucked a lot, which was fine with me – I like fucking sluts…

When I went to fuck him he wanted poppers. As soon as he had had a few really good inhales I started fucking him. I didn’t use any lube other than spit and he seemed to have a bit of trouble taking it so I went slow at first, but then when I got in nice and deep with his legs up over my shoulders I started fucking about as hard as I felt like. I could tell he’d just take it – he was happy to have me fuck him and would take whatever I gave him…

He kept whimpering and muttering things. Several times I thought I heard him saying “help me” followed by some other stuff, but I couldn’t really tell what it all was. It sounded like English (not Portuguese), but I couldn’t really get a handle on what he was saying.

I then flipped him over and kept fucking him. He felt really good. I could have cum several times but I took my time… I was getting hot and we were both sweating pretty profusely. Finally I just dumped my load deep in his ass…

Since my dog had eaten my pills, I didn’t have any help staying hard, but that wasn’t an issue. After I came I stayed hard for a while and kept slowly fucking him. I must have stayed in him 5 or 10 minutes and we just sorta cuddled.

This is when I really realized how child-like he was. I had sensed it for a while, but he was like a kid in a candy store or a kid who just opened the Christmas present he really wanted. At one point he said “I can’t believe you picked me“… He seemed really needy. In a way it was sweet, in another way I felt bad for him. He was literally fauning over me… I like sub bottoms, but he was a little over the top…

When we got up from cuddling he sucked me clean. While I figured he must be pretty clean since he didn’t have to clean me off before licking me click,  I wasn’t confident enough about that to felch his hole (I knew he had gotten home just a little before I got there and didn’t know how well he had douched)… Maybe next time on that one…

All in all a sweet guy who I definitely want to fuck again…
