Photo by Mélissa Kooyomjian Kemp (@CapturedExposure on instagram). I’m performing as “Sirius Black”, ultimately transforming into a dog. Apparently my nipples can fuck up theaters and entire social media platforms. MY NIPPLES ARE VERY DANGEROUS!

A straight identifying submissive of mine came across an online profile where I was marketing my skills to an arena of mostly gay and bisexual men. He texted me about it in a cute and flirtatious manner. He also asked if I thought I had hope of finding clients through that particular forum. Following is our short exchange over the matter. It was an affirming conversation to have, and I’m thankful that the people I choose to work with are generally very kind and interesting ones:

Me: My _X_ profile? Hopefully [I’ll find clients]. I dunno. I don’t pass masculine enough for most gay spaces and I don’t pass femme enough for most het spaces. It’s a quandary. Honestly, I like marketing to gay/queer men more than I like marketing to straight men… It feels much more liberating even though I get way fewer hits. I get shite from both sides — straight men are like, “Ew ur too masc/hairy/insert dumb oppressive misogynistic remark,” and gay men are like, “Ew pussy/fishy/insert dumb oppressive misogynistic remark”… There is no hope for our world but for the people who dare occupy in between. Xx ~Sir

Him: I guess I now have to wonder where I fit in? Married, wearing lace underwear, vibrator in my ass and getting my cock kicked by you. I guess I am one confused Mo Fo

Me: There is nothing confused about that. Pleasure is not confusing. Those who seek out pleasure are the least confused. (Within the boundaries of consent and no actual harm, of course.)

Him:  😀

This was on the heels of a few days arguing with facebook about whether the photo above is obscene or went against community standards. My sub’s short chat with me was a nice lift to my spirits.

This brings us back to my nipples: MY NIPPLES MIGHT CRASH THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM!!! After returning from FB probation, I made a tiny censor to the photo (covering the few pixels defining my nips) and re-posted it with a request to anyone who comes across the link to please post their own version of this photo in solidarity. You can see the post here, and I would love for you to join the fun (read: protest) if you’re so inspired. Here’s what I wrote:

###

A REQUEST: I would like every person who can get away with it to post in the comments an uncensored photo of themselves, posed in this position with their shirt off. Please? It would make my day, and a point. I love you art family! Feel free to share widely and freely. Xx  

My words to FB: This is sex based discrimination. This photograph is from a performance where Sirius Black transitions into his dog form. The character of Sirius Black’s legacy is one of protest. I am a professional drag king performer who, in full drag, performed this piece. A male performer would not have had to wear pasties, so I do not wear pasties. It is in protest, absolutely. This photograph documents my freedom of speech within the art of performance. There is nothing sexual happening in the piece, nor is the piece itself about sex. The performance is about transition, the body we have, the person we are, and how we change and actualize in our lifetimes. I am also a transgender artist and performer. This piece of performance art not only makes these arguments in general, but these arguments are reinforced by the politics of my own identity performing this art. I am speaking up against the unfair laws put upon my body — against my will — since the time of my birth. The few pixels of nipple revealed in this photograph has eclipsed the image’s meaning entirely: my physical form being an embodied image of freedom and joy. Facebook’s community standards indicate that “protest” is one reason in which “female” nipple is allowed. This photograph of a piece of art is absolutely a protest performance and message to our community. My upper torso should not be censored because of an assumed (and unrevealed) genital correspondence. If an assumed or passing “male” performer was pictured in this photograph it would not have been flagged nor treated as a violation of community standards. Your decision to censor this photograph rests on blatant sexism and sexualization of my body and my image. What this effectively does in our “community” is erase my existence in the social arena, and thus historical log. You should reverse your decision on the grounds of egalitarianism, what’s right, and in an effort to value all people in the marketplace instead of disproportionately allowing male bodies to exist over female, trans, and queer ones.

Please do share your own photo, I would appreciate it. I would love to see a million men post themselves posed like my character with their shirts off in the comments in solidarity with anyone who might be disallowed such a simple pleasure. People who suffer the most from unfair laws need allys willing to stand up and support causes that don’t directly affect them. Please join my campaign.

As for the title of this blog, Anonymous, I am performing at Oberon again this Sunday. This time I am performing in tribute of the historical phenomenon known as “Anonymous”. Come see the show, it’s called “Herstory: A Burlesque Retelling of History’s Greatest Women“. The show is raising money for Red Light Legal and Alisha Walker in these days of FOSTA/SESTA, and the line-up of performers is astounding. Now, off to make my costume… get your tickets here!

To start out, some thoughts…

  1. Not surprisingly I’ve been thinking a lot about sex, sexual repression, rape culture and assault, patriarchy, where men fit into various discussions about sexual freedom and the culture-wide repression that addles all of our brains and fucks with people’s fears and behavior concerning sexuality.
  2. On the heels of Trump’s “Grab ’em by the pussy” comment, one way the spotlight shone on the commonality of sexual assault was through Kelly Oxford’s twitter call for women’s stories on #NotOkay. And it’s not just women that assault and sexual abuse affect; I can imagine that the difficulty working through emotions and fallout from abuse is lonelier, and in some ways even harder for the privileged sex. I’m sure the abuse cycle is perpetuated more voraciously between men in part due to this, and I’d also guess that “on the DL” and other forms of “I’m not gay, but…” behaviors remain largely undiscussed and unexamined, often promoting cheating and other risky behaviors as a norm in masculine culture because of the emotional shutdown they are taught from day one. 
  3. I have a wonderful play friend from out of town who enjoys giving me homework, which I find deeply arousing. The result of a quick exchange between us as I walked into dinner the other night was a piece of erotica, written as I was eating in the middle of Nowhere New England turned on like a bitch in heat… I was lucky enough to score additional homework for writing so well: the photo below is me ‘dressed to pass’ at a sportsbar the following evening.
  4. Erotically I identify as a Gay Leather boy most of the time… I find masculine sex (between any genders) crazy hot. Even though I’ve been sexually assaulted, harassed, and abused by men and other masculine people throughout the course of my life, masculine energy remains strong as a general turn-on (though specifically I eroticize Dominance and not domineering behaviors, and Dominance is something I respond to from a Feminine direction as well)… I am not the only person turned on by butch on butch sex, though as it is a cultural taboo we often don’t know what to do with it when confronted with the possibility, which is opposite in many ways from the femme on femme phenomenon our society seems obsessed with appropriating for its own spank-bank account.

Here’s one coalescence of all these recent thoughts; I hope you enjoy.

The Game

By Karin Webb

14695542_10209891463978354_8887835171404385764_nYou. Man frumpy and average in that ball cap announcing your preference for sportsball and cheap beer. You. Mr. Loud as your team scores, face lighting up with joy as the number changes on TV. You. Sick of others’ dreams as you ebb life away between the carpeted box called a cubicle and the softness of your wife’s pussy one or two times a month. You.

You are sitting next to a man made from a similar mold. Perhaps the team names are changed; his pets are different species; he may have kids whatever age; it doesn’t matter. Look at his eyes light up too like yours do. His hips raising off the barstool seat, arms in the air for a moment before gulping down a mouthful of that amber liquid also… He might have brushed your triceps on the way back to seated, and you didn’t notice.

But if you did…

His mouth may have parted for the next cheer, and you become aware the room is moving around you silent. He is slow motion like the movies, and you are gazing top to bottom at him, both judging the source of his pleasure (the wrong team) and letting your eyes rest on worn baggy jeans, crunching around his bulge, tighter over his thighs, short and stout and strong from a job in construction or the state’s water department, walking fields by day for samples, counting the number of cow feces in water runoffs this county and the next over, judging the quality of your very own drinking water…

You feel him rejoice in this moment away from responsibility, as you breathe in your own joy too… and slowly, still mesmerized by the shape of his familiar but different body, his profile changes, looking straight back at you. You lock eyes for a moment. You look down, lips opening slightly and he shifts, sitting straighter on the stool, chest rising an inch or two now a little taller than you. Your face turns up to his and his thick arm grabs the short hairs at the back of your head as his other hand, lower than your gaze, circles the weight between his legs. Your heart beats loudly, and you reach over, fumble for the top button of his jeans.

The room, like molasses turns to watch, TV silent beyond the decibels of blood beating in your ears, the tension of the room nothing compared to the tightness in your chest — goddamnit don’t cut the rope we’re all holding onto… Cocks strained hard against cloth, breathing like bulls before a charge: measured and heavy. The room is a circle around you, your fingers tugging against a short vibration of zipper revealing soft cloth underneath, and the warm full hard wanting man below.

You could slide off the stool, hair still entwined roughly in his fingers, bringing your face down to match his stiff height, and with the guiding force of his strong arm, you do. Mouth watering at this point, lips wetted with your tongue on the way down, you pause, breathe hot air on the thick tip of his cock, and after a momentary inhale you plunge on down. The room groans, he growls, mustache ends in mouth as his lips trace the movements of your own on his shaft. “The Game” has disappeared to all in the room as the sound of zippers, belts, and wet fingers stroking flesh overpowers its importance. The taste of precome, sweet and salty, sounds of quickly ending grunts, a whiff of stomach tightening chlorine in the air, and the sensation of wet warmth fills the bar. You’ve come yourself now and are working your new friend’s body for all you’re worth…

You. This could be your evening — a bar full of men warm and sticky all around.

Male Sexuality as it Pertains to Other Men

Photo by Victorrrmz

I am in need of help from people with a male perspective/experience who are willing to talk to me about their sexuality.

I am currently working on a project centered around the idea of men’s sexuality as it pertains to other men.  I am looking to collect stories, perspectives, and thoughts on the subject from as many sources as I can.

Please email me: Karin @ ABCsOfKink . com
or comment below if you’re interested in helping or learning more and don’t mind sharing publicly. Here’s a little more about what I’m looking for:

It occurs to me that in the United States (and many other countries) boy people/people with a masculine perspective/body/gender/sex history are under a lot of different types of societal pressure when it comes to their understanding of self where it pertains to other men. I think our patriarchal reality perpetuates a lot of threatening and violent messages toward men on the subject of sexual interest or curiosity in other men.

The experience of male (identified or experienced) people who are attracted to, interested in, or curious about other men in any kind of sexual way are a subject of great interest to me, and one I would like to understand more fully. As a not-male person I would like to know better what that experience is like for the half of the population who does.

In the process of coming out to myself as some form of bisexual (I now identify as “sexual”) I hunted high and low for personal accounts of bisexuality, and I mostly found scientific writing which didn’t make me feel better about the emotional turmoil I was going through.  It did not suffice to better my understanding of my identity as I was feeling it for the period of time I was actively questioning, exploring, and coming to terms with who I might be and what that meant.  I got through that process with the support of a LOT of peers and a wonderful (mostly artistic) community…  I know men today who are going through this same questioning, and it has given me pause, made me curious about how that process might be different for guys.

So, people who know what I am talking about, I ask you to help me understand better.  Here’s what I am looking for from those who are interested in talking to me; please send me something relating to this list (it can be anything at all you think to be an interesting or personal perspective on the subject):

  • Coming out stories (regardless of whether you are straight, bisexual, curious, onmi, pan, gay… whatever), just stories about what coming out means or has meant to you.
  • Thoughts on the difference between your sexual orientation and your sexual behaviors (if there are any).
  • Thoughts or experiences about why men sometimes choose to be “on the DL” about their orientation or sexual behaviors, even with loved ones.
  • Links to your favorite erotica or porn or images (written, drawn, photographed, video… etc) that has to do with attraction to masculinity, or other men, or men and other genders.
  • Stories about various experiences you’ve had with people of various genders and how you feel it does or does not effect your orientation
  • Links or writing resources on whatever you might consider bisexual/queer/curious/etc sexiness
  • Stories of how your partner(s) have or have not helped you or supported you as you’ve come to terms with your desires/urges/interests/whathaveyou as you’ve looked at what those are.
  • Experiences you’ve had with other men and how that did or did not effect the way you look at your sexuality.
  • What you think the difference is between various sexualities and curiosities
  • Stories about questioning your sexuality that either end in you changing your feeling about your orientation or not.
  • Anything else this list makes you think of that I haven’t mentioned explicitly…

Thank you for your help, I look forward to reading as much as I can on the subject.  Please share resources and do feel free to write me if you are a non-male-identified person who also has thoughts on this subject.  I appreciate it all greatly.

To Breath and Being,
