A question I’m often asked is how our community will evolve, or even survive, in the future. Old-guard leathermen especially talk about its impending demise. The number of true ‘Tom of Finland leathermen’ seems to decrease with every fetish event that takes place. And parties with a strict leather-only dress code do not fill bars the way they used to ten years ago. Knowing where we’re heading starts by knowing where we’ve come from. When the need for a masculine image arose in the 50s and 60s in the US, it was as a response to society’s perception of gay men as feminine. It didn’t take long for gay men to adopt a strong look to show off their masculinity. Military uniforms and leather were their answer. The macho appearance those gay men

ALPHATRIBE M A GA Z I N E · J A N U A R Y - FEB R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

adopted mimicked the most obvious masculine traits in society at the time. Knowing this, it becomes clear why the style was adopted. And it also explains why that style isn’t common today in society, or our community. It’s simply not necessary to make that statement anymore. Today we dress in leather to show our fascination, affection, and love for a material and the community behind it. That brings me to a Mr Leather election I was asked to judge some time ago. From the five candidates, one stood out for me. He was a young guy, in his late twenties. Ripped leather shirt and a leather baseball cap with puppy ears. Not the typical look you would expect from a potential leather titleholder.

n JEROEN VAN LIEVENOOGEN SENIOR EDITOR Jeroen is publisher of Alphatribe and Cerebral magazine and organises Leather & Fetish Pride Belgium.

His fellow contestants all presented themselves in true leatherman style, the way we’re used to. But not only was this guy’s look different, he also had a story to tell. He was very new to the scene, but he was about to leave his mark on the scene. At least, that was the gut feeling I had. He didn’t win the election, one of the other great candidates did. The reason he didn’t make it was because the American judge didn’t see a real leatherman in this guy, and scored him accordingly. I gave him a nine, but only because nobody is perfect enough to deserve a ten. When he left the room, I couldn’t stop myself from loudly expressing my admiration for this guy. In my opinion, he personified the future of our community.

Coming back to the topic of my editorial, it is not difficult to see where our community is heading. It is already happening right under our noses. Look at the younger generations. They’re puppies, they’re superheroes, and they mix any, and all, fetishes in one outfit. The rules of the

game have changed. You either play by those new rules or get overtaken by your fellow players. Enjoy the game!

HANDCUFFS BY BRIAN GOSS

Brian Goss is from Los Angeles and has one of the biggest handcuff collections on the planet. Brian gives us his view of the one restraint no fukka is getting out of until your balls are empty or your whipping bicep is numb. So, if you want to know the difference between chains, links, and cuffs read on.

The variety is endless – there are over 200 types of handcuff currently in use around the world. And if you go back in history there are probably 50 times as many. They are all there for the police or military to restrain unruly criminals. But of course the fetish world puts them to much better use, largely holding your guy in place so you can put 12-inches of raw cock, your giant clenched fist, or biggest baseball bat up him. And he simply has to take it. Restraints of all types are popular in the fetish world, with bondage sometimes having been raised to a near art-form by some societies. But for simplicity, versatility, and its association with law enforcement, nothing compares to the handcuff. It is fast and easy, takes up

almost no space, and requires little training to use safely. And unlike padded restraints made of leather or neoprene, handcuffs come with a little bit of a hard edge to them, literally. Metal cuffs might leave some marks on your wrists and even be a little uncomfortable at times, an important feature for people who want to make sure their fetish experiences aren’t too ‘soft and easy’. Handcuffs, manacles, leg irons, and similar restraining devices made of metal or wood have been around for a long time. Archaeologists have uncovered items dating at least as far back as 1900 BC from ancient Mesopotamia. Rock carvings showing restrained prisoners go back even further. Metal was a precious material in those days

A LPH A TRIB E M A G A Z I N E · J A N U A R Y - FEB R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

and metallurgy was primitive. As a result, restraints were rare and simple – a situation which persisted through the Middle Ages. Nothing approaching the handcuffs of modern days existed for a very long time. The first real locking handcuffs, popularly known as ‘darbies’, date from the 1700s. Originating in England, they were the standard for approximately 150 years. The cuffs look like the letter D. The inner parts of the cuffs are

round while the outer part that locks the wrists in place is a straight piece of metal. The design of today’s handcuffs is nearly universal and instantly recognisable. It originated from the Peerless company in America in 1912. The ‘swinging bow’ design contains the well-known semi-circular piece with jagged teeth which can be pushed all the way through the cuff in a complete circle. But put a wrist (or ankle) inside

A L PHA T R I B E M A G A ZI NE · JA NU A R Y - F E B R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

and it will lock because of the teeth. The cuffs can only be tightened further on the wrists but cannot go back without being unlocked. That makes them desirable for police who frequently deal with uncooperative individuals. Dungeon play is sometimes theatre and some very old devices like stocks are popular. But when it comes to handcuffs, the standard Peerless design is likely to be the only cuff most people will ever need or want. They’re inexpensive (€30 should get you a perfectly decent pair of cuffs online or in a store), reusable, easily cleaned, and have the added advantage of being double-lockable. That means that once you’ve found the required tightness, the cuffs can be locked in place without the danger of them tightening further around the wrists to the point they become uncomfortable and dangerous. Handcuffs can be used on wrists and on ankles (if large enough). With additional cuffs, they can be used for handcuff hog tying. You can cuff an individual to other individuals or to objects. The Peerless design also cuffs an individual almost instantly if it’s held between the thumb and forefinger and quickly slapped onto a wrist. Many older devices are heavy and made for one purpose only. They’re often slower to put on and slower to take off, which can be problematic if they need to be removed in a hurry. A small number of enthusiasts might have an interest in using older devices in their scenes. Examples include the ‘bilboes’ of slave days, a long rod with C-shaped pieces attached as cuffs. But the vast majority of fetishists are unlikely to want to do the work necessary to build such devices themselves. And they’re not very portable. Similarly, most people are unlikely to need a vintage pair of handcuffs such as the kind a collector might covet. They’re more expensive and do less (certainly no more) than a modern design.

Modern handcuffs are easy to use when shackling hands together. Palms must always face each other. The backs of the wrists can also face each other, though this is a more uncomfortable position and requires more flexibility from the arms, especially if hands are behind the back. The palm of one hand should never be facing the top of the other hand. Modern handcuffs are not designed for this and anyone who has worn them this way can tell you it’s very uncomfortable. The cuffs dig hard into the wrists, and are difficult to get off. Recent decades have seen some innovation in handcuff design. Some of these innovations might be of interest to dungeon players. Plastic cuffs and restraints were first invented in the 1960s. They’re cheap and very lightweight, and can be carried in bunches. Admittedly, that is more likely to be of benefit to riot police than fetish players, but you never know given the preponderance of bottoms in the fetish scene. What does one do if there are eight bottoms looking to be cuffed and you only have one pair of handcuffs? Because they’re not reusable there is no possibility of disease transmission through dirty cuffs as there might be with metal handcuffs. The downsides, however, make them less desirable than metal cuffs: they are not adjustable and tend to be more uncomfortable than metal hand cuffs. Cutting them off with a sharp object comes with dangers, too. And strangers are less likely to be impressed (and turned on) by someone carrying plastic cuffs than they are by someone carrying real metal handcuffs. Whatever your preferences for material, handcuffs are a surprisingly uncommon item in fetish circles. I believe they should be everywhere. Nothing signals restraint and domination/submission quite like handcuffs. They’re an item that even non-scene people understand. And they’re ready to be used at a moment’s notice.

HENK HEIJENGA

Henk Heijenga is a great friend of Alphatribe and we were very happy to hear that he won the inaugural Mr Bear Europe Contest. He is a great ambassador and supporter of the gay bear community as well as other gay fetishes and events. Alphatribe has asked Frank to write a personal column reflecting his experience of a gay fetish title contest. We hope his words will encourage other guys – whether you’re a leathermen, superhero, pup, rubbermen, or bear – to enter local contests. They can lead to many lifechanging experiences. And, as the public faces of our communities, these ambassadors do many great deeds whether they are charitable, political or campaigning.

MR BEAR EUROPE 2017

Hi guys

are to attend and be visible at a lot of Bear Prides.

I am Henk from Amsterdam and I was elected Mister Bear Europe 2017 at the end of April in Cologne, Germany. The European election was organised for the first time after a long gap by Gianni, Luca, Frank, Mike, and other bears.

My main reasons for joining this competition was to be seen Europeand world-wide as a proud poz bear, and to help other poz bears to deal with it.

There was online voting where you could vote for your bear (like in the Eurovision Song Contest, your favourite got 12 points,… and so on). All nine candidates had a video presentation on the site where they explained why you should vote for them as the new Mr Bear Europe. On election night itself, all candidates did a live presentation to show off their best. That night there was a second public and jury vote. They were counted with the results of the online vote to give the final result. It all was very official and controlled by a notary (lawyer). Third place went to Kris from Belgium, and second place was won by Gabriel from Austria. As Mr Bear Netherlands 2016, I brought the European trophy to Amsterdam which made me, and the Dutch, very happy. Our last Eurovision victory win was 1975 with Teach In – the year after ABBA! I am very proud to have been chosen (although I probably won because I fucked with all of the jury members… lol). I’ve always gravitated towards the bear scene, ever since I knew I was gay. I always liked hairy, bearded guys who are themselves, and I am proud to represent the bear community in every way. My goals for this year

I strongly encourage any gay fetish man, of whatever tribe or kink, to support and enter his local contest. Not everyone can win, but it is a great experience. And if winning is your thing, you can enter in subsequent years or other locations with your freshly gained competition experience where you will no doubt win! And then the fantastic rollercoaster of brotherhood begins.

when they get drunk and then play (I experienced that). I even met some former Mr Bears from New Zealand. Guys, I hope to meet or see you at some Bear Prides or parties. Maybe in Berlin, San Francisco, Antwerp, Amsterdam, or somewhere else. Just say hi – this bear won’t bite unless you want me too. Big woofffss to all of you cubs, otters, daddy bears, muscle bears, and all other beary bears. Henk

MY message is: Even a poz bear can win an important competition. Just be, and respect, yourself. Furthermore, I want to campaign for gay refugees and help, where needed, gay men who have bigger struggles than we do in Europe. In May I worked some other sash holders in Amsterdam and we raised a lot of money and got media attention for Chechnya. It is absurd and horrible that problems like Chechnya still exist nowadays. So it’s important to be visible and draw media attention at all times and collect money for these guys to help them get a new life somewhere else. I just finished my first trip outside of Europe to Vancouver, Canada. I walked in the Parade there with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. It was an unbelievable experience. I just love the Canadians, especially

TRAVEL

AMSTERDAM LEATHER PRIDE By Sandro Corsero (Mr Leather Belgium 2017) Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands, known for the canals and the beautiful museums. Like the Van Gogh Museum, that houses the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh’s paintings and letters and The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is an international museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art and design. You can visit Rembrandt’s most famous work, the Nightwatch, at the Rijks Museum. All close to eachother at the Museum Square. Everybody knows the sad story of Anne Frank, the Jewish victim of the Holocaust. Anne Frank documented her experiences during her life during the German occupation in World War 2 in a diary when she was hiding in Amsterdam for 2 years from 1942 till 1944. Her diary is known all over the world and has been translated in many languages. Pride in Amsterdam is special. It is a parade of 80 different boats of large variety on the first Saturday of August. The festival attracts hundred-thousands of visitors each year and is one of the largest publicly held annual events in the Netherlands. This year was my first time that I experienced the pride on a boat (Mister B boat, dedicated to leather) as Mister Leather Belgium 2017 and it was by far the best pride of 2017!! The feeling you get when you come out from under a bridge is incredible. The people, the joy, the positive vibes, the emotions were pretty overwhelming. I can assure you THE LOVE WAS THERE!! And last but no least and a very important aspect of The Netherlands. They were the very first country to approve same-sex marriage in 2001. This was a historical moment for every member of LGBTIQ. Belgium came in second in 2003. Australia will probably be the 25th country were same-sex marriage is approved.

admit I was sweating underneath my leather gear, but the interview went well. After the interviews each of us had the time to talk with Thorsten Buhl (MLE 2015). He was there to prepare us for the interview on stage and to guide us, because he had been there and he knew what we were going through. Then came the moment the contestants were all been waiting for. The order of appearance on stage. We had to pick out an envelope and in that envelope was a number. I became contestant number 2. Friday 27th of october After weeks of chatting with the other misters on Facebook and after lots of mail traffic between Chuck Wendling and Arthur Peremans (President of MSA) the day has finally come. Friday October 27th, a very special day for the fetish fans from Amsterdam but also for all the misters around Europe. The 21st edition of the Leatherpride Amsterdam has begun. Nerves were kicking in earlier that week because not everything went according to plan, but that didn’t stop me to do my best and go for the title of Mister Leather Europe 2017. During my reigning year as MLB 2017 I have visited lots of elections, but of none of them were so “full” of activities as this weekend. I knew it was going to be a hard, yet unforgettable weekend amongst us leather brothers. The preperations of the election started on friday. We had to go Getto Food and drinks for registration and the interview with the jury. This was a bit overwhelming because there were 12 people in the jury all staring at you and listening to what you had to say. I have to

After this part it was time to go out and have fun!! Later that night it was a very special moment because XXX - Leather presented the very first Mister Netherlands 2018 competition. Evert Leerson won the title of Mister Leather Netherlands 2018 with his sexy act and amazing visuals on the background of Tom of Finland.

Saturday 28th of october On Saturday the 28th we had a very busy schedule. The day started at 10 AM in de Meervaart were we had first a moment of silence, a gesture of respect for some friends we have lost in the last year. After this the ECMC AGM started. While the board had their meeting, all the contestants went for a relaxing walk in beautiful Amsterdam to take some group pictures. After the official presentation to the board and the nice walk through the city most of us were so hungry that we decided to have a lunch together. As the day was passing by, my nerves started to kick in again so I couldn’t eat that much. After the lunch we all went back to our accommodation to get some rest because it was going to be a long night. At 4PM we had to gather at Starbucks to go to the general rehearsal. Once we arrived we got to meet the technical team who would help us during our acts. And then it was time for the final rehearsel!! I worked so many hours on my video and it was time to see the result. I made a video of Madonna (Die another day) / Sia (elastic heart) / Tom of Finland / and pictures of me mixed with a personal message. I couldn’t be happier!! The hours of work payed of and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The beats, the images, the sound...it was great to watch! In the evening there was a ECMC - MSA gala dinner for the delegates, observers, candidates and guests. Here we had the chance to introduce ourselves and to mingle with the people and the representatives from the ECMC clubs.

THE BIG MOMENT HAD ARRIVED!!! The show started a bit later as expected but once it started it went smoothly and before we knew it the show was over. Then came the voting round. All the contestants had to stand on stage for 15 minutes (but I can assure it looked like it took for ever!!!) and behind us was a box with our picture on it. The people had to put their tickets in the boxes to vote. The time had come to announce the winners. Second runner up was Thomas Wucherer (Mister Leather Austria 2017). I must say that his act was so funny and hilarious. I think the song “Edelweis” will hunt him for the rest of his life!! After the announcement of the second runner up it all started to get really excited! Who would be the new Mister Leather Europe 2017? I, Sandro (Mister Leather Belgium 2017) got the price for first runner up. First place went to Raymond Timmer (Mister Leather Amsterdam 2016). This was a very special moment for him because he was sashless for a day and now he got the honour the receive his new sash from Mister Leather Europe 2016, Joe King. Was I disappointed? Well I think that each and every one of us had done the best they could. Raymond is a great guy with a big smile and a very nice personality. I am sure that he will do his absolute best to fill in the big footsteps of his 2 big predecessors Thorsten Buhl and Joe King.

Sunday 29th of october Sunday morning, the sun rays shining on my face and I’m waking up slowly. Still half asleep while I am looking at my phone which is loaded with messages. This was the final part of this amazing weekend: the MSA - ECMC farewell brunch. Here we had the chance to say goodbye and share some last memories together. Well we all know that it’s not really goodbye because in a few weeks (end of November 2017) we

THANK YOU As Mister Leather Belgium 2017, I would love to thank ALL THE PEOPLE that have made this weekend so unforgettable!!! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Special Thanks to MSC Belgium, ECMC and MSA. And thank you Georges (MLB 2016) for helping me during my reigning period, your help means a lot to me!!

MISTER LEATHER EUROPE 2017 RAYMOND TIMMER

You have some big footsteps to fill after Thorsten and Joe. What are your strongest qualities as a “mister”? You’ve got that right! I have a deep respect and admiration for these two amazing men. When I started this journey as Mr. Leather Amsterdam I did not even think I would have a chance of stepping in their footsteps. Thorsten and Joe have set a high standard and have done many great things for the community, both in their own unique way. I always have a positive and open attitude. I am approachable to all types of people in the community. I am confident and am good in bringing people together. I think I am a good communicator and I have built up a good network within Europe. What will be your biggest challenge as Mister Leather Europe? There will be several challenges along the way, but I think it is the biggest challenge to unite the clubs and groups within the European scene.

We are all one family with the same interest and goals. Having said this there is dividing and disputes going on in Europe. I think it will be very important for me to work with everybody and not exclude anybody. We must realize we do all this for the people in the community. We as misters and clubs serve our members, followers, admirers and visitors of the events. Many men (and women) use leather, kink, BDSM, etc. not only as a sexual relieve but also to feel safe, meet friends and feel comfortable being with others who are likeminded people. Have an open mind and leave your ego at home. Our readers love to read some personal things. What is your most favorite piece of clothing, accessory to wear and why? I hope I don’t disappoint the readers if I say I don’t really have one favorite piece. Clothes do not show my personality. My personality is the same in any type of clothing. Leather does give me a good feeling and makes me feel more confident. I love all my leather but when I feel a bit slutty I love my leather jockstrap and harness, I auctioned one of my jocks away for the #chechnya100 auction in Amsterdam during Leather Pride. What message would you like to give to our readers? We’re in exciting times and the leather scene seems to be working on a revival. The energy is great and I want to tap in to this with all of you. I want to thank everybody for all the great support and energy you have given me last year and during the MLE 2017 election. Don’t forget, the misters and I are here to be ambassadors. Your participation and input is encouraged and welcome. Let’s use the positive momentum and push our leather community to another level

How did you experienced the MLE weekend? The MLE (and MLN) weekend was extremely special for me for several reasons. Of course the most important one is that I actually won the title MLE 2017, this is a great honor for me and the icing on the cake to finish of my Mr. Leather Amsterdam year. To have all my friends in my hometown Amsterdam for this event made it an unforgettable experience. My stepdown was on Friday, where I was the co-host of the show and jury member for the first ever Mr. Leather Netherlands 2018. On the Saturday I was a candidate again, and was sashless for a day. It was an honor to have been able to receive the title from Joe King and be with Thorsten on stage. This year’s Amsterdam Leather Pride had a great vibe, and it showed that Amsterdam still has it and the leather scene is growing again. I loved the energy in the city this weekend. I can say I’m a proud and privileged man.

COMMUNITY

A LEATHERMAN’S JOURNEY THE FIRST SIX MONTHS AS IML39

I’ve travelled over 60,000 miles since becoming International Mister Leather 2017 last Memorial Day weekend. I’ve travelled from San Francisco to Nice and Berlin. I’ve hosted events, given keynotes, and judged contests. From big cities to small ones I’ve seen how our communities congregate and celebrate Contrary to what I have heard from many, I believe our community is alive, vital, and growing. There has been much talk lately on social media about the troubles in our communities and the divisiveness within our ranks. That’s what I’ve seen on Facebook, that’s not what I’ve seen out in the bars and the world where our communities gather. I’ve seen people in Louisiana and Texas who travel for hours to be in the company of other leather folks. I’ve talked to titleholders about their lives and the courage and risk of being out and visible in our community. I’ve talked with non-titleholders about the same things. I’ve seen hundreds of men and women celebrate our kink in Iowa, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and all over my state of California. We are coming together to drink, play, discuss, and be among our own kind. I’ve had so many adventures and your hospitality has been much

appreciated. I was presented with a nearly naked boy covered in wax and candles for me to blow out on my birthday in Michigan. I got to speak to the international titleholders at Folsom Europe in Berlin about sexual expression and erotic prohibition within our community. I’ve travelled with my brothers, judged contests with my brothers, and watched my brothers step aside with grace and make way for the class of International Mister Leather (IML) 40. Almost everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve been able to speak about Conversion Therapy. Conversion Therapy is the deceitful therapeutic practice which teaches that gender expression and sexual orientation can and should be changed. It’s harmful and coercive and they’re doing it to our kids. As a psychologist, I’ve been involved in the campaign to outlaw Conversion Therapy for years. I’ve been working with NCLR and the #BornPerfect campaign throughout both of my title years. I’ve sold my IML 39 run pins and auctioned off my jocks for charity. You have helped me raise thousands more dollars to help #BornPerfect continue to spread the ban on Conversion Therapy. As I write this, we have bans in nine states, DC, the Canadian provinces of Ottawa and Manitoba, and the European country of Malta. Much

has been accomplished but there is still much to do in a world which still allows a practice which has been roundly discredited by every organisation of mental health professionals. It impacts us all, but there have been so many of you who have come to tell me your personal histories, the experiences you have had with homophobia and transphobia in the consulting rooms. I have been so moved as you have told me how you overcame this coercive practice. Whether it took place in the Middle East, the Midwest, Utah, or Florida, I have been amazed at your resilience and your hope. We have spoken through shared tears of isolation, fear, and abandonment. We are indeed, the lucky ones. We have found our way to each other.

Sometimes I think it’s easy to forget how difficult all our journeys have been. Maybe if we remember how much damage has been inflicted on all of us by a culture hostile to our self-expression, we will be more reluctant to act out on each other in social media. There is a new term in social psychology: cyber disinhibition. It’s the phenomenon of treating people online in a way that we would never indulge in person. Similar to the way some of us act behind the wheel of a car, it’s the depersonalisation that allows for reckless behaviour online without consideration of its consequences or impact. It’s not unlike flipping someone off when in the perceived safety and isolation of a car. I didn’t grow up online. I came of age in the 70s in Manhattan. There were no apps or cyberspace, we had to find each other in actual places. To do that, we wore our 501s, white tees, and motorcycle jackets, we flagged with hankies or keys and we went to the Mineshaft, the tubs, or the docks. We found each other to be with each other. It’s been great to find men and women all over the world who share my love of leather and kink and are living life out loud and free. Thank you for opening your hearts, minds, and play spaces to me. I am halfway through my term as IML 39. I’ve been in restaurants, bars, homes, play spaces, baths, and clubs. I have loved talking to you, listening to you, watching you and, yes, of course, playing with you too. I’ve got another six months left of this IML thing and a full slate of travel in that time. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in the time remaining. Please, come say hi, tell me your story, that’s why I’m here. That’s the real prize of being IML – bringing my message to you and listening to yours.

We have spoken through shared tears of isolation, fear, and abandonment. We are indeed, the lucky ones. We have found our way to each other. A L PHA T R I B E M A G A ZI NE · JA NU A R Y - F E B R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

TOYBOX

WOLF RAYET The definition of an Italian stallion, Wolf Rayet is a massive European pornstar who has achieved what most other Euro lads can’t and that is break America - he is a true WorldWide star. This former Lucas Entertainment Exclusive seems to get furrier, hairier and sexier each year. He has the choice of the best cocks and asses to play with but what does he like to stick up his ass in his downtime. What is in the hottest Italian man alive’s Toybox ?

Basically I’m one of the guys out there who is not at all into vanilla sex, which simply bores me. I define myself as a filthy sex lover and filthy sex is actually what I look for... sex toys, soft BDSM, spitting, violence, and whatever it helps sex with hot men to turn out into spicy action. Dildos are definitely my first choice when it comes to fun with sex toys. I firstly started with regular ones when I was a newbye, then went to large ones and finally opted for a massive one (30ish cm and impressive girth), my boyfriend is so happy when he plays with that on (in) me. Next purchase will be butt plugs for sure, I aim at stretching my hole for some fist fuck... but this will take time! Leather stuff is another fetish of mine: tight harnesses to be used by hot hunks for grabbing and fucking me hard and only wearing jockstraps on, collars and handcuffs for feeling that beautiful sensation of domination and complete

buy one of those pierced shorts! By the way, stay tuned and alerted for new upcoming hot porn releases. My taste in toys and gear is pretty widespread i love Fort Troff collars and cuffs, my favourite jock straps are from Addicted and the best Rubber stuff in the World in my opinion is from Mister B.

submission. I recently found interest in rubber clothing as well when I had to shoot a scene dressed up in latex. It was a totally new thing to me and I instantly loved that feeling on my skin. That made me horny so quick, I’ll definitely

So don’t be shy and always take the most from sex, and even dare... You can’t guess how satisfying could be discovering new sexual experiences, from everytime life - have you ever imagined that kitchen is a hidden endless source of inspiration for sex? - to fetish parties and clubs.

How did you get into rubber and what is the appeal about it to you? The whole story began many years ago, just before the end of elementary school. It was the time when I realised that I was attracted to people wearing wetsuits in documentaries and movies. So, my first fetish wear was a wetsuit. To be honest, I collected a few of them over the following two or three years. At the same time, I started browsing the internet and found that it wasn’t only neoprene that attracted me. I discovered this tight-fitting rubber material – later I found out it is called latex. I made the decision that I needed it in my wardrobe! I can honestly say that I love wearing rubber. Especially the feeling of wearing something perfectly fitted to my body, something that can be a second skin at the same time – it turns me on a lot! Of course, I also like the beautiful shine of rubber and the way the body looks in this great material. Where do you get your gear and what are your favourite pieces ? For rubber gear, my favourite supplier is Latex Catfish. But I also have a few pieces from Rubber Bunker and RBRO. When it comes to the place where I go shopping, it is mainly the internet. I love browsing internet auctions looking for new toys. My favourite pieces are catsuits and gas masks, but I am very proud of my last toy. It is a breathing apparatus with a full facemask that I bought from a firefighting team.

What made you enter the Mr. Poland contest? To be honest, I had been thinking about taking part in the contest for a while. But it took me two weeks to finally make the decision to register. There was something behind my decision that I call ‘moving my interior comfort border’, stepping out of my comfort zone in other words. On my registration form I wrote ‘I want to become a better version of myself’. I think I have done that successfully. I am sure that taking part in this contest was a huge step in my self-development.

rubber and leather guys are guests at bear events, and vice-versa. What are some of your favorite bars/clubs/events in Poland and elsewhere? My favourite event in Poland is Oscura, the biggest multi-fetish event in the country. Right after my return from the MIR contest in November last year, it was my welcome home party as well. The fifth edition of this event will take place in May 2018, in parallel with the Mr Rubber 2018 election in Warsaw, when we will be looking for my successor. All of your Alphatribe readers are more than welcome. I also like visiting Berlin in September for Folsom, and of course Antwerp in February for Leather & Fetish Pride. What is the general Fetish scene like in Poland at present ? Poland is a very conservative country. If people openly say something about their fetish, they are usually perceived as cranks, even by their nearest friends or family members. Plenty of people still live in a ‘hidden’ way. They do not want to be seen at fetish events. So, the fetish scene in Poland is not as big as it is in Germany or in the UK. But I think it is a very good sign that it is getting bigger and bigger from event to event. I think there are a few reasons for that. One is that we finally have a great multi-fetish event in Poland called Oscura. It is a professionally organised party where all ‘fetish freaks’ can meet in a very friendly atmosphere. What is quite unique about the Polish fetish scene is that we work together as a group of friends, without any official club or association. We, as a community, also get great support from the REFFORM Foundation (Warsaw, Poland) to organise and promote fetish events across the whole country. Thanks to the Foundation, I could fly to Chicago for the Mr. International Rubber (MIR) contest as the ticket was the main prize in the Mr Rubber Poland 2017 election. What I really like about our Polish fetish ecosystem is that we are cooperating more and more. We visit each other’s events together. So

How was the Mr. International contest in America? To make a long story short – it was a life-changing experience. I think will be no surprise to you when I say it was a great, and very professionally prepared, event and show. It was also a wonderful chance to make some new friends. There was an injection of very positive attitude and energy from all the people gathered there – beginning with the staff and finishing with the guests in the audience. It was also very exciting for us, the contestants, to provide a fun and entertaining experience for the audience.

visit to the US was my vacation at the same time. After the event finished I spent a few days with my friends who had come to Chicago for MIR. After they went back home, I travelled to New York City and spent a few days there. After that I went back to Chicago once again and then flew home. I love travelling a lot. I spent my time in those great cities going sightseeing, tasting typical American cuisine, visiting the most popular spots, but also walking off the trail to feel the atmosphere of those places better. What would you like to do with your title year? My aim is to promote rubber and support the fetish community in Central and Eastern Europe in their fight against persecution and discrimination. I want to promote information about rubber as a fetish and BDSM in general, and to support the organisation of events and titles throughout the region. How to fans follow you online and find out about your travel, events, and plans through 2018? Just follow my official Facebook page ‘Michal Neighbour – MIR21’. There you will find all the details about my plans, and the events I will be attending.

How did you feel when they announced your name as the top rubber man in the World ? I probably could compare it to winning a lottery – a mix of shock – it was hard to believe. There were many emotions, and of course pride. Pride for what had happened, pride for the community in Poland, pride of the job we had done preparing for the contest. I was also thinking about my fetish friends in Poland who were probably sitting in front of their computers and TVs watching the live broadcast, and about how happy they were right then. How was the rest of your American trip and your time in Chicago? In addition to the MIR contest, my

LIFESTYLE

ELECTRO SEX The general rule of fetish is to try everything once to find out what you might be missing and what works for you. If you don’t enjoy something, just don’t repeat it and move onto the next thing. Electro sex is the exception, most guys never experience it. But those that do love it, never look back, and want to experiment with it endlessly. We have never heard of anyone saying, ‘I tried electro and it did nothing for me’. So maybe it’s time to give it a go? Electro can be used for both pain and pleasure and is excellent for riding the thin line between the two. You can use electro to gently bring yourself off hands-free, or tie a sub down and get a generator out to re-enact your favourite Vietnam torture scene on his bollocks. It’s also the best thing on earth for cock edging. A little bit of science to start with. The body is largely made up of water which is a superb carrier of electricity. Our body water connects to all our nerve endings and can give any targeted part of the body a nice tingling sensation, or a pure torture chamber scenario that would crack the toughest Marine. Every part of the body is fair game, but obviously the cock,

to electrocute one nip and the guys privates, rather than both nips. Other safety tips: do not use piercings as electrodes, don’t target broken skin, don’t use it if you have a pacemaker, remove metal jewellery as it may become hot, and, of course, read the instructions. You will need a proper kit so please don’t bring a generator back from the workshop and plug it directly into your boyfriend’s cockeye. The best suppliers are Electra Stim

It is just as horny if you put one of the pads on your inner thigh or even the sole of your foot. You can adjust the settings to create electric pulses, waves, escalating stimulation, or a continuous shock. One thing is for sure, when you work out what does it for you, you will cum like Dumbo repeatedly. You can even train your dick

for the prize, multiple orgasms.

balls, ass, and nips are most targeted in sex play (unless you are joining the American secret service). There are some safety issues to consider. Number one: DO NOT PASS ANY CURRENT THROUGH THE HEART! Electro is extremely safe if done properly. Just remember it is based on creating a circuit, and part of that circuit is inside your body. Until you are experienced, keep electro south of the waist for the sake of safety. The nipples can wait for later experimentation. Even when you get to that stage, it makes sense

(www.electrastim.co.uk) and E-Stim (www.e-stim.co.uk). You can find both at all your local sex shop or online. A good basic starter pack will set you back about €100 and you will never look back. Let’s look at the pleasure side first. Electro pleasure comes in two forms: either you do things to yourself or your partner. The basic default attachment is a couple of sticky pads. You can stick them to whichever part of the body you wish to stimulate (NOT THE HEART AREA!). Gently turn up the power and start getting excited. Obviously, if you target your erogenous zones, you will get a great result. You will have a lot of fun creating electric circuits using a mixture of your cock, balls, and asshole. But do experiment!

ultimate

Alongside electro is edging. This is where you bring yourself or partner close to shooting many times before backing off. This creates added stimulation in the nerve endings of your cock and, in particular, your ass. Of course your balls will ache like fuck and be begging for release. After edging, when you finally let the troops go over the top, you will have an ejaculation to remember. You will probably scream the house down and continue moaning in extended pleasure like a 12-inch Donna Summer record as you whitewash the ceiling with your spunk. You’ll project your load a good six-inches and turn your best swimmers into gold medal Olympic long jumpers. You can (and should) get other attachments in addition to the basic

A L PHA T R I B E M A G A Z I NE · JA NU A R Y - F E B R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

bollock to bollock which will really fry his seed. If you want to drive him nuts, ram it up his ass onto his G-spot. If you want to cause the most stimulation, concentrate the circuit entirely on his shaft. That really excites the swimmers before release. If you want the best ejaculations a guy can produce, use an electro sounding tool down the restrained sub’s cockeye. Once he gets used to it, this will guarantee repeated and amazing sensory orgasms.

pads. There are dildos made from silicone or metal which can obviously send a national grid’s worth of electricity up your back passage right onto your G-spot. It will probably give you the hardest erection of your life and may even take your eye out as your cock will be pointing due north. There are also rings which you can place along the length of your shaft. The best, around the base of your cockhead, will make you more excited than if you were getting a blowjob from Ryan Gosling and Kit Harington at the same time. There are also scrotal rings if you want to give your seed sacks a good frying, and clamps that can clip onto the skin anywhere including the nips (but see safety above). There are also a wide range of wands, flexes, electro-paddles, and pinwheels for you to discover at your pleasure. The one sure fire thing with electro is you won’t ever get bored. So if you are in a 20-year relationship and want to liven things up in the bedroom, this may be a much better investment than that Wolverine or Captain America costume. Pain is probably an even bigger market for electro. You are basically using all the above on a sub effectively as torture. Around 98% of electro porn consists of guys being abused and enduring some serious electro to their

red-raw cock and ballsack. Usually your prey will be tied up so, as with all S&M play, agree a safe word before you start (try Trump!). Whether the guy is fully restrained or can wriggle and move a bit is up to you as this is pure sadomasochist territory. You are getting off on causing pain and electro is better for this than any cane, paddle, fuck machine, or ball weight on the market. Don’t get carried away and ramp the voltage right up straight away. It is always more effective to build the pain up slowly and watch his dick to see if you can increase the suffering. If it is deflating, maybe try a different setting. Don’t let the fukka cum! You can increase his ball pain by edging him tenfold. If he does fire his weapon there is no need to stop the torture. Keep cranking it up as a second load should soon appear. Watching those bollocks turn blue, empty, and deflate as he suffers like a fetish pain pig is all part of the fun. We have seen guys cum five times whilst still tied up under electro-torture. They continue to scream and beg louder and louder like an ISIS recruit with a hardon watching rugby. Cum also carries electric current which leads me to the best tips for electro-stim. If you want to cause maximum pain, make the circuit run

If you just want to watch rather than take part, there is one porn film that is the clear leader in electro – ‘Shock Treatment’. It’s a part of the Rough extreme sex line produced by Titan Studio. All the Rough films are top drawer, well cast, produced, and directed by our good friend Tony Buff (watch for an interview with the king of fetish porn in a future edition). Tony is the most twisted fukka ever to hold a camera, let alone be allowed onto a film set... and he is the director!

When a guy can’t control the pain on his privates (as you have your finger on the power switch) it will eventually become the best sexual pleasure he will ever experience. Welcome to the true border between pain and pleasure. And welcome to electro – you have discovered the truth of never-ending ‘electric’ fun and sex will never be boring again.

Shock Treatment has a cast of VERY fit and well-known American porn studs. They’re all subjected to huge chunks of the US national grid through every bit of their sex tackle using nasty toys, many of which have been built by Tony Buff and his team. Think ‘Saw: The Final Chapter’, with a lot more pain and spunk, hotter guys, and a lot more twisted. It climaxes with a truly vicious copper wire unit being wrapped all around poor Derek Da Silva’s shaft and balls. They’re then subjected to extreme jizz-producing voltage. Da Silva told us he still felt the pain two weeks later! For your further enjoyment try ‘Electro Surge’ from Close-up Productions or ‘Electro and Kink’ from BJ Productions.

HOW GAY IS GAME OF THRONES?

10 The two leading gay characters, Loras Tyrell and Renly Baratheon, are just finished breeding ass when Maregary bursts in and warns them they are being too public with their ass banging. Trouble will ensue! 9 The castration of Theon Greyjoy by Ramsay Bolton is the ultimate ball clenching moment. But actually, the three burly men just cut off his cock and leave his balls so as he can still get turned on but do nothing about it. 8 Every appearance of Khal Drogo, the manliest man that ever existed in Season 1. The guy wears very little throughout and then you get two nude scenes (unfortunately shown from the back as we know he is bigger than Rocco Steele). 7 The Knight’s Watch. Several hundred very masculine guys guarding the wall for eternity without any women??? There are so many pseudo-gay moments resulting in hundreds of gay fan clips of the real meaning behind the words on YouTube. Basically it seems Jon Snow and the lads just love cock, check out the ‘He is grooming you line’.

Westeros’ chief gay escort Olyvar who soon stops charging when he gets the first load of royal spunk up his young ass. 5 Lord Varys, the gayest man in Westeros and known as The Lord of Whispers, lives for gossip like most gay men. He’s as queer as Kevin Spacey wearing a Kylie Minogue T-shirt at a Madonna concert. 4 The constant obsession with ball sacks and castration, Lord Varys tells us how he lost his. Greyworm and the 8,000 unsullied don’t have a single seed-producing sack between them. And Reek’s cock is kept in a jar by his captor for them both to look at over dinner. Maybe Ramsay uses it as a dildo on the quiet? 3 Loras Tyrell gets arrested and put on trial merely for liking cock. This makes Westeros an older version of Chechnya, Uganda, or the Middle East. His punishment is brutal, but at least he gets to feel some mancock in jail whilst awaiting his doom. 2 Our favourite gay hooker Olyvar again, this time hooking up with the Red Viper Prince himself. The Prince is the ultimate bisexual, claiming to have slept with ‘Half of Westeros’. Luckily, when he arrives in King’s Landing, he seems more in the mood for cock than pussy and cannot resist the escort’s 10-incher in scene after lubed-up scene. 1 Possibly the gayest moment in TV history, the infamous ‘shaving scene’ between Loras and Renly ‘How did you know I was into guys?’!!! After the nude shaving scene in front of other men, Loras goes down on Renly’s bulging shaft and gets his first taste and a huge mouthful of the next few million in line to the Iron Throne. Winter is coming indeed, but not as fast as Renly’s cock.

6 When Renly gets killed, Loras needs a new ass in his bed. So he turns to

Game of Thrones is on a major hiatus whilst they film the last six episodes of all time. They’re part of Season 8 which is due for release in March 2019, but they’re filming now as they need snowy conditions. It’s arguably the greatest TV show of all time. Certainly the most watched and talked about, and the one with the hottest men ever! It is full of nudity and endless sex, heavy on incest, tits, ass, and lesbians drinking from the furry cup. But how gay is it really? What are the men up to and how often does Jon Snow deep rim Jaime Lanister?

One hundred days after Robert Mapplethorpe’s celebrity-studded funeral, the gun-loving conservative politician Jesse Helms stood on the floor of the US Senate and waved a photograph in the faces of his fellow representatives. The black-and-white shot of two men clad head-to-toe in leather was called “Larry and Bobby Kissing.” “Look at the pictures!” screamed Helms screaming Hellfire. He was outraged that government tax money had helped fund “The Perfect Moment,” a Mapplethorpe retrospective in Washington DC. “Pictures!” A perfect moment for censorship. Robert left a legacy of thousands of beautiful photographs of faces, flowers, and fetishes when he died of Aids on 9 March 1989 at the age of 42. He assaulted American concepts of race, sex, gender, and morality. Born in Floral Park, New York, in 1946, he was on trial all his short life. Anti-gay legislation made him a sexual outlaw. His work too was on trial: it ran gauntlets of homophobia to hang today in international sanctuaries such as the Tate in Britain and the J Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 1990, at the height of US hysteria over Aids, a witch hunt in Cincinnati put seven of his frames on trial, aiming to sort art from obscenity. Robert’s photos won. He changed popular culture. The sort of sex pictures he dared shoot are now snapped every day by millions, minus his style, on Snapchat and Grindr. It is a humanist victory against fundamentalism that he is constantly being celebrated worldwide in major retrospectives like the current museum hit, “The Perfect Medium.” On screen, director Ondi Timoner’s feature film, “Mapplethorpe” (2018), presenting “Doctor Who” star Matt Smith as Robert dramatizes the facts Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, producers of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” sussed out in their smart HBO documentary, “Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures” (2016). Robert’s muse Patti Smith recently sold her “pentimento” memoir, “Just Kids,” to Showtime TV for a limited mini-series.

A FINE BROMANCE, “DRUMMER,” AND THE DEVIL The romantic comedy of our bromance bloomed the instant Robert opened his gorgeous portfolio, mind, and body at my desk when I was editor of “Drummer,” the San Francisco magazine for masculine gay men with an interest in leather and kink. It was the “Titanic 1970s” when the first-class party sped on innocent of the iceberg of Aids that lay dead ahead. Everyone was polyamorous. He was more beautiful than the pouty Botticelli rock star Jim Morrison. We became bicoastal lovers for more than two years and remained friends forever. We fricated our edginess together. We were both re-quivering Catholics mixing the sacred and the profane. An acolyte of Rimbaud, he was keen on my book about Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan. It was sex, love, art, letters, phone calls, and business. It was life.

him at work in the Twin Peaks condo, high above famous Castro Street, where he shot my other lover, physique champion Jim Enger. I drove him in my 1969 Land Cruiser across the Golden Gate Bridge to scout the abandoned missile silos and cement bunkers on the Marin Headlands for the “piss-in-mouth photo” shoot of “Jim and Tom, Sausalito.” I vouched for him when he wanted to shoot the dominatrix founder of the Society of Janus, Cynthia Slater, in the dark dungeon of the Catacombs fisting palace. His pictures seduced me. In 1978, I gave him his first “Drummer” cover, casting my friend Elliot Siegal as his model. I published nine of his fetish photos and profiled him in what was his first coverage in the gay press: “His camera eye peels faces, bodies, and trips. He photographs princesses like Margaret, bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger, rock stars like his best friend Patti Smith, and night trippers nameless in leather, rubber, and ropes.” Monthly “Drummer” needed the passion of his homomasculine photos of leathermen as urgently as he needed its 40,000 subscribers—to grow his brand and fan base when people still thought his last name rhymed with “apple” rather than “may pole.” He was drawn to “Drummer” because, at age 16, the Irish-Catholic boy from Long Island had a shivering epiphany while looking at beefcake photos of leathermen in gorgeously gritty Times Square porn shops on 42nd Street—currently on sexy show in James Franco’s HBO series, “The Deuce.” He scissored and glued these “found” photos into the collages that were his first artworks, before he picked up his first camera, a Polaroid, in 1970.

PIONEER ARCHETRIBE PHOTOGRAPHERS

He described ideal passion as “intelligent sex.” One night, during stoned pillow talk, he exhaled a stream of Kool Menthol smoke: “I want to be a story told in beds at night around the world.” We both giggled. In San Francisco in the late 1970s, Robert lived a free life shooting some of his most famous leather photographs. Liberated from the controlled environment of his Manhattan studio, and unobserved by critical New York eyes, he found joy in gonzo locations. We went talent scouting on Folsom Street at the Brig, the Ambush, and the Eagle bars. I watched

The homomasculine power of those “dirty pictures”— often shot by superbly talented and heroically outlaw gay photographers like Bob Mizer (“Physique Pictorial”), Chuck Renslow (“Rawhide”), and Bruce of LA (“The Male Figure”)—excited him so viscerally that he swooned with a gut-punch of carnal mysticism. The forbidden photos also outed his sadomasochistic core identity in exactly the way that some Catholic boys suddenly discover that the muscular bearded Jesus hanging stripped and crucified over the altar is hot. He laboured throughout his career to inject that sex rush, that religious feeling, that existential frisson, into his holy pictures of leather sex saints, black men, celebrity women, and flowers brilliant as night-blooming sex organs. His calla lilies hanging in a collector’s dining room gain a paraphilic palpitation because of the fisting photo hanging in the collector’s bedroom.

He was 29 when we first met, and he immediately gave me my favourite photo of himself. It is perhaps his only smiling selfie: a faun with tousled hair, his bare torso verging into the frame, one nipple revealed, his right arm outstretched horizontally across the white background, his right palm open, awaiting the rosy crucifixion he so desired. Letters bonded us. On 10 April 1978, he wrote to me from Colorado. The “London Times” had sent him to photograph Allen Ginsberg “who’s had so many pictures taken already.” He moaned: “Ginsberg was a Jewish drag.” The poet made Robert sit through his lecture on William Blake. “Ginsberg did say (still in the lotus position) that he was getting into S&M. No blood, however. I’m going to turn out the lights and try to muster enough energy to ‘Jack’ off. Love, Robert.” Robert was not just a photographer. He was an artist who was a photographer. He came alive, he said, after the Stonewall riot against the New York police that began modern gay liberation in June 1969. He sped into the 1970s on charm, poppers, and MDA. He made it his job to rub elbows and plow the pertinent at Warhol’s Factory, Max’s Kansas City, Studio 54, and the Mineshaft.

TUXEDO ELEGANCE, LEATHER ATTITUDE, AND CASH The bad boy had tuxedo elegance and leather attitude perfect for the jet set. He often wore a princely green velvet jacket for dressing like a rock star at dropdead soirees in London, New York, San Francisco, and Mustique with friends and faces he shot: Princess Margaret, Lord Snowden, Carolina Herrera, David Hockney, Doris Saatchi, Bruce Chatwin, Lady Rose Lambton, Julian Sands, Marianne Faithful, Yoko Ono, Keith Haring, Susan Sarandon, Thom Gunn, Philip Glass, and punk Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis. When he shot Katherine Cebrian, the elderly San Francisco “grande dame,” the bright silver studs on the back of his big leather belt spelled SHIT.

and American photographers. He caused Sam to change commercial art history, persuading him to use his aristocratic authority and social prominence to convince reluctant connoisseurs and critics and buyers that photography is as legitimate an art as painting and sculpture. Sam bought Robert his first Hasselblad to shoot photographs for the new art market Sam had prompted by the late 1970s. When Robert introduced me to Sam in the restaurant at One Fifth, the elegant art deco building in New York, I watched him take Sam’s hand and pull back in surprise at the diamond ring Sam had slipped him. “Welcome back from San Francisco,” Sam

He was a hustler who did far more than shoot his own face and run into his darkroom to develop himself. In 1972, his first gay lover David Croland introduced him to the wealthy Manhattan art collector Sam Wagstaff. Robert told me Sam said: “I’m looking for someone to spoil.” Robert said: “You’ve found him.” The new lovers shared the same November 4 birthday 25 years apart. Robert gave his benefactor as good as he got. He introduced shy Sam to the leather underworld at Manhattan sex clubs like the Mineshaft. He educated Sam about 19th and early 20th-century British, French,

said. Robert, swear to God, bit the diamond with his teeth. Sam laughed and whisked us up, up, and away to his immense all-white penthouse atop One Fifth where we sat on the tile floor chatting about the hundreds of photos by early masters spread out around us.

BLACK MEN, THE OSCAR STREAKER, THE MAPPLETHORPE CURSE When the white photographer began cruising gay black bars, he turned race into a personal sex fetish. He also hired professional black models like his lover Milton Moore, whose penis he made exquisite in the now world-famous 1981 photo, “Man in Polyester Suit.” He told editor Boyd MacDonald of the “Manhattan Review of Unnatural Acts” that his favourite movie was the camp blaxploitation film, “Mandingo.” He sweated with white guilt trying to make his quest for black beauty keep him from the mortal sin of racism. He dedicated the last decade of his life to documenting famous black men, like the dancers Gregory Hines and Bill T. Jones, while continuing to iconicize unknown black models. He was an existential comedian. He knew that the most frightening thing in the world is a photo of a penis. He knew pictures of black men could add another level of racial and sexual terror to his work. So he upped the anxiety for his white liberal patrons and made the penises big and black. Provoking American paranoia, he took a side-on shot of a black model holding a gun just above his horizontal erection: “Cock and Gun” (1982). When his patrons blanched, he would double-dare them: “If you don’t like my pictures, perhaps you’re not as avant-garde as you think.” Straight and gay East Coast history forgets that Robert also exhibited under the radar in the fabulous FeyWay Studios founded in San Francisco by the Oscarstreaker Robert Opel, who ran his nasty bits past David Niven and Elizabeth Taylor and a billion viewers on the live telecast of the 1974 Academy awards. At the opening, Opel exhibited one of Robert’s leather models, Larry Hunt, tied in a cage near Robert’s photo, titled “Larry Hunt: Boots and Bench.” In July 1979, four months later, Opel was shot dead in his gallery, and Larry was abducted from a Los Angeles leather bar and killed. An urban legend about a “Mapplethorpe curse” arose, fed by the film “Cruising” with its S&M murders. And then the curse of Aids began. Learning the worst, Robert sped up the quantity and quality of his work to express his soul and build his legacy of more than 120,000 pictures. As his healthy beauty time-lapsed fast into the transcendent beauty of the dying, he did not like eyes looking back at him through the camera. So he shot flowers and statues

and objects that obeyed his direction and made no demands.

BRITISH DIRECTOR DEREK “HEAVEN” @ CHARING CROSS

JARMAN:

In 1984, Robert went to “Heaven,” the gay disco under the arches at Charing Cross in London, where he ran into his frenemy, film director Derek Jarman, who famously described Robert’s life as “the story of Faust.” Derek was going down one stairway as Robert, who did indeed say he had sold his soul, was climbing up another. Robert shouted: “I have everything I want, Derek. Have you everything you want?” I intuited he would die young and wrote that prediction about him in “Drummer” in 1978. I knew from the first to hold him fast. As I sit in my California garden among my tall calla lilies where Robert once sat, I miss his sweet face, his green eyes, his thin body, and his quiet ironic voice: “Aw, Jack.” Late one night in bed, the photographer licked my eyeball as if to anoint my vision. His aura remains vivid—in his photos and letters, in my memories of our late-night phone calls. “Jack,” he wrote on 26 July 1979, “if you’re not free for dinner tomorrow night, I’m going to beat you up. Love, Robert.” I told him he had a touch of paraphilia. In his left-handed slant, he wrote on 20 April 1977: “I think you’re right about me needing a psychiatrist. I’m a male nymphomaniac. I’m never satisfied.” On 21 May 1978, as he was shooting photos of himself as both Satyr and Satan with horns on his head that would illustrate a luxurious leather-bound edition of Rimbaud’s “A Season in Hell,” he wrote to me: “I want to see the devil in us all. That’s my real turn-on.” It was a lover’s private remark written in his own hand that echoed what the provocative Catholic boy once said to give gravitas to his flower photos: “Beauty and the devil are the same thing.” © 2017 Jack Fritscher

THE ART OF FOOT BY MISHA

In 2006 AOL has released a database of search terms where it was shown that the most common word next to word ‘fetish’ was ‘feet’. And according to a fetish study from the Bologna University, it was concluded that 47% of the respondents preferred feet and toes to other non-sexual objects of worship. Whether or not due to the fact that the sensory neurons for feet and genitals are adjacent in our brain, most of the people whose feet I touched using my hands, my lips or my tongue have provided a positive feedback, whether during or after the process!

Personally for me, the admiration of the male foot started early in my teens growing up in a desert region of Central Asia where the summer lasts from May to October. It has somehow grown to become a joy to my eyes watching men strut the streets in dress sandals, open-toe slippers and flip-flops as soon as the weather got warm. The well-manicured toes on a manly foot have become an object of visual fixation not only due to the phallic shape but also because the normally tucked and hidden body part was bare on display. It was not until I moved to New York in my late teens that I knew what to actually do with this admiration, how to apply it in practice. Still a poor foreign student, I had to use the public library internet to search for something gay and kinky. Numerous pictures downloaded and videos watched later, it was the time to confront my demon and attend a foot fetish party to see how it’s done! Disgusted by the ‘creepiness’ of what I saw, I left the place shortly after – this was not how I had imagined it all! I did not know whether I was shocked or disappointed but I put the idea of materializing my admiration to rest. Until several months later, that

is… when I went on a date with a handsome and intelligent Jewish boy who stayed in his relative’s apartment in the chic Manhattan’s Upper East Side. After a couple of cocktails into the date, we found ourselves frolicking naked in his aunt’s bedroom. Having sufficiently pleasured each other orally, and then anally, it was during a minute of rest that he grabbed my foot, placed it against his face and started slowly shoving his tongue between my toes and then sucking each of them one-by-one! Every move and every turn of his tongue was a type of mini-orgasm that I had never experienced before as I did not want it to stop! It goes without saying that, looking back, it did not take me long to understand the crazy euphoria on the faces of

ALPHATRIBE M A GA Z I N E · J A N U A R Y - FEB R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

the attendees’ of the foot fetish club that I hastily left scared several months back! Years gone by, not only have I resumed the occasional attendance of the gay foot gatherings but also further explored my fetish with as many dates as possible! Not every sex partner is open to it, as I would not expect them to be, but massaging the feet, licking the soles, or sucking the toes will more likely than not be welcomed due to the high concentration of nervous endings, as many as 200,000 per sole to be precise! That is not to say that our feet carry the entire body weight, which rightfully makes them one of the most fatigued parts of our body. So if you want your lover skill score to go higher, you may try starting to go lower!

DO’S & DON’TS

OF FOOT WORSHIP DO’S

DON’TS

1) Rub and shove your sole(s) against him, especially his face, if you came across a guy who is into your feet and his is playing the submissive serving role. It will be a heaven for him to smell your feet or just feel them on his body as much as possible. Trying to (gently) shove all of your toes into his mouth may just be a cherry on top for him, as he lives for it!

1) Grow your toenails long. A couple of millimeters is already too long! Not only is it unappealing in general, but it is a huge turn off for someone who is into feet! Sharp and long toenails can cut his tongue let alone the dirt collected under them can cause unpleasant consequences for his heath being that it is inside his mouth. Same goes for having dirty soles (such as after walking in slippers or barefoot outdoors), while it can be sexy for some, it will less likely be welcome inside someone’s mouth.

2) If you come across a top who suddenly started sucking your toes while he fucks you, make him happy by pressing both of your feet against his chest, rubbing it and/or squeezing his nipples using your toes, it only adds to the pleasure. Him seeing how you move and wiggle your toes is likely as exciting as the sex itself! 3) During foreplay, try to massage his feet, you may be surprised as he might enjoy it, because most people do anyway. You never know, you may just discover something new that you both like. There are many foot massage techniques, so for starters, try to grab his foot and start gently squeezing it with both of your hands – you will know immediately if he is into it or not! Watch some videos online to know how to do it better, if it happens that it’s working for you. 4) Know the boundary between massaging and tickling. While it is one of the extensions of the foot fetish, far from everyone enjoys being tickled. Tickling usually occurs when the sensitive body part is stimulated with light and/ or swift motions. Massage is more of a firm and slow touch – be aware that even that can cause a tickling sensation, which might be unpleasant for the receiver, in which case you must stop! 5) If the guy enjoys his feet worshipped, try to extend the area of worship to his calves. The muscles of calves are also responsible for carrying the body weight, and therefore more likely than not are in need of a good massage. Also don’t miss the knee pit, it also has nervous endings, so licking it is recommended instead of massaging since there are no muscles there.

2) Assume that the foot fetishist is necessarily a full-on slave. The fact that he enjoys the look and the smell of your foot does not mean that he is there to take orders or be verbally humiliated. If you want to test if he is into more than serving your nether parts, try non-verbal communication, such as gently slapping his face with your feet – you will know immediately if you’re doing too much or too little! 3) Step on him with your entire weight. While it is sexy for the foot fetishist to spend as much time as possible under your foot, there are still boundaries crossing which can cause more harm than pleasure. Stepping on his face or on his dick is a turn-on for him, but it is safer to use one foot while the other is on the floor and carrying your body weight. Alternatively, instead of standing, you may want to sit on chair while you do the trampling. 4) Expect that he will be into your shoes or socks. While yet another, and huge, extension of the fetish, it is better to discuss it beforehand than start shoving your smelly socks into his mouth or have him lick your leather boots. 5) Cleanse your feet, especially with soap, right before the date with someone who is into feet. The natural sweaty smell of the foot is a huge part of it. Just like a dick should smell like dick and ass should smell like an ass, a foot has it’s own unique smell and taste which is as exciting for the foot fetishist as looking at your toes or arches. Obviously we are not talking several day old rancid stench, but showering once in the morning is just fine and more than enough for him to enjoy you!

FRANCOIS SAGAT

THE WORLD’S BIGGEST PORN STAR IS BACK Francois Sagat is arguably the most famous gay porn star of this millennium, and now he is back. Debuting in 2005, the Paris-based star was instantly in massive demand right across the globe. He appeared in over 65 major films – some of which have gone on to become the most famous porn movies in history. Sagat was last seen in gay porn in 2012 in Incubus Part 2 which he also directed. But the following year, he announced online that he was retiring. He then became even more successful with his art, music, film, and video projects, and the launch of his own clothing brand. Then suddenly he is back, sitting on the thick shaft of British porn phenomenon Paddy O’Brian. Exactly 10 years after he won Performer of the Year at the 2007 GayVN awards, the gay porn industry is still coming to terms with the fact that its biggest name is back. Paul Stag spoke exclusively to Francois and Men.com, the studio behind his comeback, to find out what enticed this legend back in front of the cameras. Let’s start with the big news – we all saw your 15-second ‘Disneyland’ retirement clip in 2013 online, but now, to the excitement and delight of your fans, you are back doing gay porn – what’s the story? Well it was 2013, I was really ‘not into it’. My commitment wasn’t there and I made the decision as it just wasn’t fun anymore. But now I have changed my mind, yes. I said in an interview that If I came back to porn after retirement it would be because I was ‘desperate’.

Is that the case today? Maybe... Am I bored lately? YES! Do I need extra cash? Everyone needs that. But the main thing that’s missing, and the real truth, is that I’m a fucking exhibitionist and I love to have sex on camera... That’s all. I have been missing the shoots, but also hanging out with boys from different studios, countries, and the crews. I missed it and it’s FUN. Filming gay porn is fun so I’m back.

It is the first of three united scenes on the same subject: DREAM, Fantasy, and Sensorial Connexion. I am very happy with this first scene, but parts two and three are fantastic. I am very proud of them and it was great working with the Men.com team. (At the time of filming, Francois was only 36-years-old, so hopefully we can look forward to two more decades of hot scenes from this Gallic stud!)

Is the ‘Dream Fucker’ scene for Men.com with Paddy O’Brian a one off, or is there more on the way?

What do you think of the current state of the gay porn industry in 2017? There are a lot more older

A LPH A TRIB E M A G A Z I N E · J A N U A R Y - FEB R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

‘daddy’ stars like Rocco Steele, Dolf Dietrich, and Dallas Steele, and bareback studios are dominating thanks to PrEP And of course every star is starting their own online production studio? I have no specific opinion, except that I also jerk off to a lot of that porn and it’s hot. I don’t think we should overanalyse the global gay porn industry. It evolves, that’s the way it is. PrEP is PrEP, it’s giving a new perspective technically speaking, which is good for the viewers! We are not in the VHS/DVD era anymore... that’s long gone. There were few studios and few porn superstars back then. But today is today and there are a lot of new and appealing forms of sexual expression and pornography. I wish I had the balls to launch my own porn website, but I don’t think this is something I’m capable of... it seems too abstract. I don’t know. But how long is this going to last before new mutations and strains emerge! Zombie porn?? Oh well, I did it first with BruceLaBruce! I love daddies and I love BelAmi, basically I love all men.

Which studios, directors and stars do you admire and who gets you off? I watch gay porn, I jerk off a lot... I watch dirty stuff, vanilla stuff, young, musclemen, jocks, bears... everything. I am more aroused by strangers or unknown performers. I’ve had a big crush on Brandon (Sean Cody) since the very first scene I saw him in... the way he is passionate on camera. My first porn obsession was Dred Scott for TitanMen in the early 2000s, and he still is a fantasy. I’m not into bondage myself, but it’s so aesthetic to watch. BoundGods, kink.com.... I think many of those scenes are timeless and I’ve always been fond of the classical masculine TitanMen features (his home studio for many years) mixed with

hardcore fetish practices. I’ve never worked for ChiChi, but that would be great... she’s a superstar. Your last adult film was Incubus Parts 1 & 2 in 2011/12 when you had full control to write, produce, cast, and direct. How was working behind the camera instead of in front of it? I’m super happy that I tried it and did it this way, but I really don’t think I have the skills to be a great director... maybe just an art director? Directing actors is so technical and outside of my comfort zone... damn! I’m glad that Incubus did well despite my non-commercial ideas and script. We managed to create a really great porn product, with great sex, great visuals, action, effects and that was the goal. And that ‘movie pack’ is MEMORABLE at least!

Your gay porn ‘retirement’ in 2013 actually seemed to start one of the busiest and most creative times of your life. When you look back on the last five years, what highlights spring to mind and what are you most proud of? I like to move on and not look back too much. But... It was a little bit arrogant of me to think that I, and the public, would be able to forget my porn career. You don’t sweep 6 or 7 years of porn under the carpet and then pretend to be an artist or art performer or a muse. I hate this word ‘muse’. I never really said that, but it’s the perception most people had. There were some mistakes, some lazy choices as well, and some marvellous decisions. The last five years have been a transition. I think that I’m always in this transient state of mind, at least that’s what makes me want to move forward. You’re a successful mainstream movie actor, adult performer, fashion model, brand and clothes designer, video performer, music producer, director, artist, star of documentaries… What is your priority now and what area do you want to focus on most going into the future? Well, you may have said it, but I think ‘successful’ is just one angle.

My perception is that NOTHING or no area is wholly me. I’m still not accomplished in most of those areas, and all of that stays behind for now. I am not currently working on anything that keeps me busy every day of the week. I have no current ‘career plan’, I have no project to rule the world... And I’m a little bit sceptical at the moment... we will see! At the moment I am excited about being part of a new music video project with the amazing singer Sevdaliza. It’s called Bluecid: Sevdaliza – Bluecid You have the most famous tattoos in gay porn, especially your legendary scalp tattoo. How do you feel about them now? My head tattoo has never been retouched since it was done 14 years ago. It’s fading away and I’m so happy about it now... this is the smartest thing I’ve ever done in my life LOL. As for the other tattoos: they’re DUMB. Outside your many work projects, what interests Francois Sagat personally? And, as your endless number of fans want to know, are you still single? I may not be single anymore in 2018! How can your fans follow you online and stay in touch with the world of Francois Sagat and its many exciting facets? The most radical way would be to follow me on Instagram... yeah I know! @francoisssagat (with three ‘s’) and Twitter @SagatFrancois with more NSFW content... and www.francoissagat.com for more specific updates.

HEALTH

PARTNER ALERT BELGIUM

Imagine you get diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Would you tell your (ex) partners, so they too can get tested? Or if one of your ex-partners had an STI, would you want to know? Difficult questions… Partneralert.be can help you with the answers.

Partneralert.be is a new initiative from the Institute of Tropical Medicine. Via the website you can anonymously inform expartners of a recent STI diagnose. You advise them to have an STI check as well. We asked Tom Platteau, one of the creators of the project, for more details.

Where does the idea for Partneralert.be come from? “We got the idea for this service from a similar project in Holland, where online partner notification has been an established practice for many years. There were earlier attempts where people could send online postcards with messages like ‘I have STI, maybe you as well’. But this type of service was often abused by jokers or people with bad intentions. With Partnerwaarschuwing.nl they succeeded in avoiding abuse and in linking the receiver to medical care.” Hoe does Partneralert.be work? Tom Platteau: “The baseline of Partneralert is ‘It stops with me’. Often an infection with an STI passes without symptoms. When you get diagnosed at an STI screening, you may already have infected your partners. Who in their turn may infect others. By informing your partners you help fighting the epidemic of STIs in the gay scene. You can of course contact your ex-partners yourself, but many men find this uncomfortable. With Partneralert.be informing partners becomes easier.” Is Partneralert anonymous? Tom Platteau: “Totally. Your doctor will give you a unique code, when you want to inform your partners with

Partneralert. You need this code to send messages to your ex-partners, by SMS or e-mail. After the messages are sent, all information from you and your partners is deleted from the system, to guarantee full anonymity.” Suppose I receive a message? Tom Platteau: “In that case you receive a message on your phone or mailbox advising you to get an STI check as one of your ex-partners was diagnosed with an STI. The message contains a code that allows you to log in on Partneralert. be. There you can find information on the specific STI your ex-partner was diagnosed with. You can download a referral letter for your own STI check. Of course you will not find information there of the person who initiated the message.”

Partneralert.be was launched on 27 November 2017. In first instance only doctors from Belgian aids reference centers, where you can get tested for HIV and STIs, can use Partneralert.be. The site is available in Dutch and French, but English will soon be added. More info: Partneralert.be – Mannenseks.be Sensoa 2018

THE BILLY SANTORO COLUMN

THE PORN PERFORMER VERSUS THE CAM MODEL It’s no secret that for years I’ve never acknowledged the cam model as a true performer. I always believed a cam model sat in front of their computer and jacked off for tips. Nothing about that seemed like ‘performing’.

I am going into my sixth year as a gay porn performer. Sure, the work involved in filming a scene is labour intensive. The scene rates have plummeted to all time low. Major studios are paying as low as $300 a scene, simply unacceptable for the amount of time and energy that goes into it. So I’ve decided to see how the other side lives and dip my dick into the live webcam world. Let me start off by saying, cam models make money! The performing is completely different to performing in staged porn. To begin, I logged into my favourite cam site, Cam4.com, and created an account. I was able to link all my social media, all my websites, and a ton of photos. I went LIVE! Before I realised it, there were over 500 people watching me from around the world and I wasn’t doing anything... yet! I started chatting with fans. I was answering questions about the industry. I was getting tips to flash my body here and there. I love attention, and this was feeding me. I finally got my dick hard and began to take direction from my fans. What do YOU want to see? Before I knew it, I was over $1,500 and I hadn’t even busted my nut. I wrote an article about how porn is changing. People want reality, interaction, real sex. The cams are the outlet for a lot of our fans craving this. It goes deeper though. The porn performer can just fuck and get paid. There is really no interaction with the fans.

Cam models must build relationships with the fans in order to create the brand loyalty required to succeed. It’s less labour intensive and more mental. You are sharing time and an experience with your fans. This is something I’ve gotten really good at. As a porn performer, I have been blessed to be able to do live shows and club appearances all around the world. I love my fans and I love interacting with people. I was offered the opportunity to represent Cam4.com at the Exxxotica Expo this weekend, and I was amazed at the amount of live webcam companies and models present. I did not see one porn studio in attendance. Fans were lining up to get photos with their favourite cam models. This is indicative of the direction adult entertainment is headed. The future is here!

PORN MOVIE REVIEW

FOUR AMAZING PORNOS Each issue Paul -porn-addict- Stag reviews some of the latest porn movies released

BAD COP 2

Studio - TitanMen Cast - Dallas Steele, Dakota Rivers, Tex Davidson, Micah Brandt, Bruce Beckham, Jason Vario and Jeremy Spreadums. Director - Jasun Mark Duration - 108 Minutes

9/10 courtesy of TitanMen

This is the sequel to the 2014 hit uniformed blockbuster. You are in the very capable hands of Jasun Mark who is one of the best directors around so this is as great a safe sex film as you could wish for. Titan only employ men, we mean real men, guys with hair on their chest and plenty of it, muscles everywhere and a non-existent deoderant budget and we love them for it. Here we get to find out what American cops do down at the station, on duty, after their shift ends and everything in between and basically that is uniforms around the knees, cocks out, asses fucked and eaten deeply repeatedly. BEST BIT Not an easy choice as you get 4 scenes loosely framed as different parts of the day down the local copshop. Just shading it is the scene where Titan Exclusive Dakota Rivers returning to porn after a hiatus fucks the cop juice out of studio newbie Jeremy Spreadums. These two out of the bunch look actually most like they could be cops in real life which helps the fantasy factor. BEHIND THE SCENES There are no models from Bad Cop 1 in the sequel - 3 years is a long time in the porn world and most of the

original cast have already retired from the industry. The location and director do provide continuity and it was shot in the Los Angeles basement of a real-life law enforcer who has an extensive range of uniforms and props that Titan readily take advantage of to great results again here. ANY GOOD Basically if Alphatribe made condom porn it would be Titan period we just love their movies. This is a great film for all uniform and real man, muscle and fur lovers. The production values are so high as you always get from this studio brand and the director is at the top of his game. The downsides are that every scene is very long which is a bit dated looking somehow although some fans may prefer this but it has been 12 long years since Sean Cody revolutionized the length of porn films into shorter 8 minute more online friendly versions (The average time a guy watches porn before he cums !). Every scene is great but 4 scenes of duos including one model in two of them scream for some variety like a threesome, solo, group or even outdoor sequence and Bruce Beckham is very overated, Titan has much better models on their books.

DR FRANKENFUCK’S FIST LAB

Studio - Raging Stallion Cast - Hugh Hunter, Teddy Bryce, Pierce Paris, and Scotty Taylor Director - Tom Moore Duration - 89 Minutes.

courtesy of Raging Stallion

10/10

The latest release from one of the top two produces of wrist riding gay porn Fisting Central. Based oh so loosely on the Mary Shelley horror classic this is probably as good an asstretching film as we have seen all year. Raging Stallion Studios welcome you to ‘Dr. FrankenFuck’s Fist Lab’, a mad fister’s hideaway, where he conducts hardcore experiments largely around gaping muscle guys ass holes making them bigger than is humanly possible all in the name of science which seems a good way of spending his time as obviously science has now cured cancer and solved global warming so lets look into the staying power of a porn stars ass muscles when two arms are inserted up to the bicep. Alphatribe contributor Hugh Hunter is Dr. FrankenFuck in this sci-fi fisting thriller brought to you from the twisted mind of director Tom Moore.

BEST BIT You get 4 scenes here all involving the spectacular Hugh Hunter who dominates this film. Even though the other scenes involve electro, 3 big dildos including a vicious green ribbed one called the green monster, more fucking and dick sucking and three ways we love the basic fist fucking opening scene between the good doctor and his favourite monster Bryce fo pure sexual chemistry and electricity that could raise the original Frankenstein himself without a lightning strike. It starts with Bryce suspended upside down and moves through his next ‘treatment’ which as the doctor explains ‘I have two wrists’ and then uses them both on the muscle ass at the same time deeper and deeper as the monster cries ‘Monster Hungry’ as his big dick gets rock hard and the doctor obliges until the monster cums all over himself.......how nice of the doctor to let his monsters get loads of tattoo’s by the way.

BEHIND THE SCENES Fisting Central are masters at this they know their niche and how to film it. They get the hottest guys and just simply destroy their cunts for the viewer’s pleasure. FC is part of Raging Stallion Studios which itself alongside Hothouse and Falcon are now part of the worlds biggest gay porn producers NakedSword but FC is the grubby little pig section of the company over in the corner that no-one talks about but are Alphatribe’s kind of guys who basically believe that every hole has the capability to take a 20” dildo within an hour or two of meeting their tops.

ANY GOOD If you are into fisting and want to watch very fit men riding wrists, arms, biceps and a whole lot more then this is route one stuff and the movie for you. Fisting is rarely done well and can be boring to watch on film (even worse on stage live; in, out, in. out.....40 mins later !) so pick your movies carefully as many are true ‘horrors’ but start with this one which carries the Alphatribe seal of quality and could only be better if we there doing an on-set report and got a chance to check for our keys inside Hugh Hunters perfect begging for it sphincter which does no get stretched here but is crying out for it. If Tom Cruise’s disappointing Mummy film hasn’t fucked it up the Universal ‘Dark Universe’ were moving onto update Frankenstein and that could only mean we get a sequel or two from Dr. Frankenfist and they would be true assbusters, sorry we mean blockbusters.

PISS VOLUME 1

Studio - TreasureIslandMedia Cast - Dawson, Brad McGuire, Nathan Gear, Lukas Cipriani, James Roscoe, Keer, Christian and more. Director - Paul Morris Duration 98 Minutes courtesy of TreasureIslandMedia

9/10

Just what the Fetish world needed an entire film dedicated to the yellow nectar that flows in huge floods out of some of the most famous cocks in porn into their equals mouth and asses. A compilation from the massive vaults of the worlds most successful studio of the Millenium wholly of the best piss scenes they ever produced. The stars here are a whose who of the bareback world over the last 15 years to whom pissfucking is a religion including of course arguably the most famous porn star of all time Dawson. With a record-breaking 10 massive scenes there is so much to enjoy here and it includes outdoor scenes, locations, toilets, clubs and sets in equal measure. The amounts of piss here are of Niagra levels and you can smell the piss through your screen. BEST BIT There is a great classic TIM oral group scene here with one of the top 3 fittest bottoms to ever work his cum receptacle ass in the hairy days pre PrEP, James Roscoe with his trademark TreasureIslandMedia logo tat above his left nipple. In scene 6 he is on his knees for ages where he has spent most of his life servicing every cock in the room. Here he has a wopping 13 shafts to deal with all just for his deep throat and he sucks them all to completion and takes all the piss going to wash the spunk down as the cocks deflate one at a time. The tops are a mixture of big names and guys off the street who luckily enough just have to be passing by just as the cameras started rolling. Roscoe seems dazed halfway through and then he zones into a zen like state after the fifth big load gets washed down to his churning guts. He said he coukd taste piss for over a week afterwards. Pure and simply the biggest hit of this greatest hits compilation.

BEHIND THE SCENES Watersports in porn is an art form in itself. Basically, the performers will all save their daily piss as best they can but the viewers and cameras usually want to see a lot more than your standard 10 second plus drips visit to your local toilet when you get up in the morning. Pornstars will start taking vitamins the night before a piss scene to help and then the water expelling tablets start to go down. These are basically meant to help guys and old men who have trouble pissing but gay porn has a better use for them. The pints of water start to be drunk 3 hours before the shoot and usually one pint of water (never alcohol) is added every half hour. The bladders will be stretched to breaking point just as the director calls action. This basically means the piss is very clear and will keep going on and on like Dumbo taking a slash perfect for filming, if it is yellow it is more real but will be much less in content and the WS session much much shorter. ANY GOOD Basically the greatest hits of piss. There is not a lot of good watersports movies around so when one comes a long you have to snap it up. These scenes are great and in effect timeless and with so many in number it is great value. Some of the biggest names of porn let alone piss fucking and piss drinking look great here so it will probably become many guys all time favourite films. Put simply you get the most famous BB top of all time Brad McGuire and the most famous bottom Dawson therfefore this is a must buy and like music greatest hits they are a smarter purchase often than the straightforward regular films. Let that amber nectar flow all over those hot bodies and deep into those freshly fucked raw assholes - let the steam rise and breath it in.

SKUFF: DOG HOUSE

Studio - Hothouse Video Cast Gabriel Cross, Trenton Ducati, Austin Wolf, Seth Santoro, Michael Roman, Jason Vario, Skyy Knox, Jake Ashford, Danny Gunn, Beaux Banks Director -Nick Foxx Duration 89 Minutes

9/10 We used to get annoyed when we googled gay puppy porn that we got absolutely nothing but now that has all changed. The fastest growing gay fetish ‘puppies’ now have their own line of top quality porn with huge stars, plenty of props and great production values. Welcome to the world of ‘Skuff: Dog House’, where puppies please their masters and the reward for good behavior is always a nice fat dick. Sit back and watch director Nick Foxx’s latest as the pups of Hot House sniff bulging crotches, gnaw on big fat bones, and get their asses humped repeatedly. A huge number of pups on the scene are not in it for the sex but many are and the others still might get off on watching it anyway and boy are these pups in this movie into ass big time and of course there is only one position to fuck in. BEST BIT You have 5 good length scenes here which will satisfy every horny pup or those guys just curious about the fetish. You get 4 duos and one threeway but the standout is scene 2 purely for the caliber of both models in it. Winner of porn performer of the year 3 times running Trenton Ducati is the master training his puppy the hottest new star of 2017 Skyy Knox. Both guys are regular AT contributors and our readers favourites so everyone is happy when the pup training goes well and Skyy pup gets his reward which is not so much a biscuit as Trenton’s absolutely massive cock one of the most famous in the industry right up the doghole until they both spunk their wads all over each other and the dog training park. You will howl watching it more than Skyy does who has to take that big fat motherfucking veiny bone. BEHIND THE SCENES

searched for star back in the Summer. We know him well and he is a great guy and boy is this New Yorker an expert at gaining publicity by controversy and let’s face it who wants a boring porn star. He has had been blocked by Grindr which is near impossible, had big twitter rows with other porn stars and ex-boyfriends and he has also published his flaky escort clients phone numbers and even their pictures online! It all works as his fan base is now massive and at present he is the second most popular with paying followers on Only Fans.com (damn you Armond Rizzo !) he is also propably the hardest working star in the industry whose name is not Ducati so you are either in the wolf pack or against him and AT is right in the pack as we love working with the guy except for the fact that he never has to work his abs at the gym aledgedly which is so fucking annoying after all look at that fantastic stomach.....now that is a quaity gene pool. Any Good This is a black and white situation if you like or are interested in the puppy scene there is no other film out there like this and it should find a place in everyone’s kennel pronto. If not then you can see all these great stars in many other films without the puppy locations and kit and you will be better suited looking elsewhere probably. Opening sequences where the puppies attack the wierdly dressed postman and both fuck him can look like some warped kids TV show rather than great jack off porn unless you are really into it. Is this a new genre of gay sex films or not ? the success of this film will soon let us know. We are huge puppy fans and we all love big bones and the ones here are fucking massive so time to sniff those buttholes and say Who let the dogs out and how many are we allowed to put to the bone.

Austin Wolf is a great porn star recently reaching number one on our AEBN charts of the most

FETISH PRO’S

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL GAY ESCORT PART 2

Have you always wanted to try your hand at escorting and earn €100,000 annually just by fucking professional footballer asses? You’re a great fuck, decent looking, and could really do with that extra cash you’ve heard they make. But how do you go about it and, more importantly, make a real success of it longterm in the oldest industry in the world?

Read about the previous tips in Alphatribe 6

7. What is will my first booking be like? You will probably be nervous at first, but then so will the client. It is only sex, be professional and have fun. If you’re meeting him in his hotel, check with the front desk before you head out to ensure the client is in that room number. Phone him from the foyer so he is ready for you. Maybe pop a quarter of a Viagra beforehand so you don’t have to worry about getting hard. Have a little chat at the start as this will relax both of you and eat into the time, but remember you are on the clock and this is work. You could ask for the money at the start but it is more regular to get paid at the end. Despite urban myths it is largely unheard of for a client not to pay, so concentrate on giving him a good time.

ALPHATRIBE M A GA Z I N E · J A N U A R Y - FEB R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

Some clients will give you a tip if they have had fun and the golden goose is to get repeat clients who book you once a week or every time they are in town. In effect that’s guaranteed money with a guy you know and trust for no advertising cost. Try and introduce the client to new things, suggest rimming, spanking, fisting, electro, watersports, roleplay, and anything else you think they might enjoy. They will thank you for it and always come back to you. If it’s an in-call at your place, put all your valuables out of temptation’s way. Get a glass of water ready for the client and put some porn on the TV or computer. If you are asked to travel any sort of distance then agree the fee fully, and get 50% deposit upfront via bank transfer or Paypal before setting out. If you get an overseas booking then the client pays for the hotel, flight, all expenses, and your fee in advance. Don’t begin to take it seriously until the flight tickets have turned up. If he does not agree to this then move on to the next client as he is conning you. The famous ‘Escort Trap’ is when guys offer you the world but are just having a fantasy wank. They’ll give false addresses and details and you will be out of pocket. As in any form of life but even more so in escorting IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT IS. 8. What service/s should I offer? Whatever you are comfortable with or are prepared to do. The more you offer the more clients and cash you will get. Even if you are not particularly into fisting, corporal punishment, or piss, offer it if you can see it through. The onus is usually on the escort to have the equipment so you may need to invest in gloves, canes, water expulsion pills, restraints, slings, whatever you need to provide the scene the client has booked you for. If there is anything you won’t do like say brown (scat), make this clear over the phone beforehand. The most common misunderstanding occurs when the client expects to kiss but that is not what you are offering. This rarely gets bought up at the time of booking. Many clients appreciate some gear such as leather, rubber, sports kit… If you offer these scenes it will help bookings. Also consider father/son scenes, teacher/ pupil, officer/recruit role play. Basically anything that

fits your look, build, attitude, age, and body type. Be creative and find a market that works for you. Earlier I mentioned that the lifespan of a gay escort is just a few weeks. This is because the job is so different from what they expect it to be. The anonymous nature of the sex gets to many very early on. Another major reason is the phone does not ring. But that’s probably due to the fact that you haven’t targeted the right market or niche for you. 9. How do I become a successful escort with longevity? If you enjoy sex, are confident, fun, outgoing, and like meeting new people you have found the right job. The aim is to get repeat clients which means always turn up, be professional, never do chems (you are ‘working’ after all). And even if you don’t fancy the guy, give him the best time you can. Remember you are being paid handsomely for just 60 minutes. Imagine it is Taylor Lautner or Ronaldo. Establish relationships with other escorts who will pass on their overflow work and get you involved in duo, group, or escort tag-team sessions. Word of mouth is very helpful. Many guys will tell their friends that you are a great shag and next time they should book you. Build your brand up in any way you can. The most common way is to start working in porn. If guys have seen you on film then they will want you and only you. Often they will search for guys by name and book weeks and months in advance. Some are travelling especially because they want to taste Rocco Steele’s cock... which would be us then! Rocco probably isn’t the best-hung guy in his city, but he is booked because of who he is and therefore can charge what he likes. Not all porn stars do escort. Many guys such as Brent Everett, Francois Sagat, or Darius Ferdynand choose not to for various reasons. Often that’s because they just don’t fancy it, they make enough money other ways, or they have partners who don’t like the idea. But they are all aware of the huge amount of money they are giving up. 10. What are the best things about escorting? Loads of sex, often with very fit guys and celebrities. The money is excellent and it will give you a lot of free time. You don’t need a qualification, special training, or equipment, and you can make it fit into your schedule. If you don’t feel like working, just don’t answer the phone. You will get to travel and be entertained on someone else’s dollar, and you will be sort after by porn companies and club promoters with other work. You will become a major attraction in any bar or club you visit off the

Take some toys with you as well as rubbers, lube, and poppers, these are now tools of your trade. Don’t clock watch but be aware of the time. After an hour and a quarter bring the session to a close. If you have trouble closing the job then fake an orgasm which brings it to a natural end. Politely ask for the money and suggest he keeps your number for next time.

clock. Yes – your fun sex life will go up, way up!

It may also introduce you to your future boyfriend. I became the boyfriend of Alexander McQueen, the clothes designer, who was a former client. Harry Louis met his former celebrity boyfriend through the adult industry. There are numerous examples of guys who have started full-blown relationships with the great and the good. Remember that many of the people who will book you are multi-millionaires and need company like anyone. If they have picked you from an advert amongst many, then the attraction from one side at least is already clear. 11. What are the worst things about escorting? Every trading escort will answer this differently, but one of the big gripes is timewasters. You will get so many calls, texts, and messages from guys just jerking off or having a cyber wank. Maybe one in ten guys who contact you turn into cash in your pocket. One way to minimise this is to avoid unlisted numbers. Some escorts end up with stalkers and you are also open to scammers. Remember what I said before – if it is too good to be true then it is, ALWAYS. But you also may end up on some film star’s yacht – just bide your time. You may have family or relationship issues and boyfriend problems with the phone going off in the middle of the night from someone who wants to fuck you. Some escorts get addicted to cash for sex and then they cannot get interested in sex without money changing hands – this is a well-known problem. Once you go escorting it is also unadvisable to stand for politics, go into the Big Brother house, or on TV. It will come back to haunt you. Security may be a problem if you are meeting strangers at their place in the middle of the night or inviting them into your house. Tell someone where you are going if possible, do whatever checks you can, and in your own place do what you can to discourage people being ‘light fingered’. There are some small health downsides such as getting an increased number of colds. More seriously you stand a higher chance of catching an STD. Due to medical advances, everything you might catch nowadays is curable or readily managed. 12. Am I the next top-flight escort? Escorting is made up of all types of guys and ages,

A LPH A TRIB E M A G A Z I N E · J A N U A R Y - FEB R U A R Y - M A R C H · 2 018

all making some great money. For every 18-year-old hooking his way through college there is a 58-yearold doing great as a corporal punishment master. For every chubby bear escort, there is a skinny skater punk selling his cock for 10 bucks an inch. Escorting often has the image of being for depressed, drugged-up guys who cannot get any other job. But the truth is the exact opposite. Most escorts have a great time and it is a great confidence boost to know that guys want to sleep with you so much they are prepared to pay handsomely for the pleasure. Many clients become good friends over time. And you sleep very well at night knowing that as an escort ‘psychologist’ you have really helped guys out and made them happy along the way. Samuel Colt was flown from America to China for a weekend at someone else’s cost, while Ricky Sinz was paid to sit on a boat in the Caribbean once a year. What’s not to like? Escorts had their own annual awards, the Hookies, which stopped when Rentboy.com met the Feds. But there are strong rumours that it may make a reappearance next year. Who knows – in 2018 it could be you up for ‘Best International Boyfriend Escort’ or ‘Best Fetish, Daddy, Twink Escort in the World’. Of course that would mean yet another night for you hobnobbing with porn stars and gay celebrities. So what are you waiting for? Grab your mobile phone, cockring, and lube and get out there and start renting your ass. And start thinking whether you want your favourite client to buy you a Ferrari or a Range Rover for your next birthday. Decisions, decisions!

How much for an hour in the company of your favourite porn star escort? Here are 10 of the very top escorts on the planet available to you with just one phone call. Prices given in euros, but roughly the same in US dollars. €400 – Austin Wolf €350 – Ryan Rose €320 – Christian Wilde €300 – Rocco Steele €280 – Boomer Banks €250 – Avi Dar €250 – Rafael Alencar €250 – Brian Bonds €250 – Cutler X €250 – Antonio Biaggi

MAL

MID-ATLANTIC LEATHER EVENT GUIDE - COMING UP

The top fetish event on the East Coast of America is also well renowned as the sleaziest. Held annually in Washington DC it is the perfect antidote to post Christmas and New Year blues. It is the event that annually picks the top Leatherman on the East Coast to represent his community and go forward to InternationalMr Leather that’s the official purpose of the event. It is backed up by an extensive leather market of top clothing, toy and lube retailers and a whole lot more. It is based at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill and is within sight and walking distance of the Capitol Building and the Whitehouse, basically if Donald Trump was to attend any gay fetish event it would definitely be this one, he could call in on his way home for work for a blow job from a bear or jock. Organised by the Centaur MC Gay Association it is a very established and popular party event. It takes the format of any other leather title contest running through the 3 nights but just a whole lot bigger than any other and with a lot more going on. There are several dance parties on the Friday,

Saturday and Sunday nights with last years highlight being a DJ set from Ultra Nate the pop superstar of Worldwide chart hit ‘Free’ fame so expect something just as special this time. One of the other highlights is the wonderful Leather cocktail party now in its 48th year which is not to be missed. Increasingly for many the attraction is the pure huge amount of sex to be had. Let’s make this clear there is more sex at this event than any other in North America and yes that includes, IML, Folsom, Southern Decadence, Hustlaball, Wet N Hot or any number of Black or White parties. The entire upper floors of the Hotel complex become corridors of mansex with hardly a condom to be seen. Doors are left open for any and everyone to walk in and join in the ass stretching and the size of the group sex piles will blow your mind; we have seen 20 plus in some rooms all naked and balls deep and there are hundreds or rooms here. Many guys fly in slings and huge collections of equipment and gear. The corridors are just cruising Central so if you want

to sleep either shut your door or book an apartment over the road. Recently the Hotel has employed a wristband policy between 5PM and 10PM (Maybe they should review those times slightly as all hell breaks loose around midnight when the breeding really goes into overdrive. They try and insist wristbands only for room occupants but they allow each one to take two guests up anywaya nd they only check at the bottom lift levels so it is open house really. MAL is great for the serious Leather and of course all other Fetish guys and for those just after 3 days and nights of as much sex as your bollocks can handle. It is in a great location to enjoy the City and the Smithsonian Museum complex’s and with the high number of Marines working in the capital you will get a lot of casual visiting straight military ass too. This is a wonderful well organised Weekend at a quiet time on the calendar and we thoroughly recommend it, just be prepared to suck an awful lot of closeted Republican dick ‘working late’ away from the wife and kids and look out for Paul Ryan in a sling on the top floor.
