.XXX And What It May Mean To Adult Websites

This week, the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is meeting in San Fransisco. Among other things, ICANN is responsible for assigning and regulating domain names.  ICANN is responsible for .com, .net, .biz and so on.

This week, ICANN may be handing down a decision creating .XXX.  Under the proposal, all adult sites would be required to have the extension. 

At first glance, this might seem like a good thing, but FreeSpeechCoalition.com (FSC) thinks otherwise.  According to an XBiz article, FSC is joining forces with adult industry stakeholders on March 17 to protest final approval of the new domain extension.

FSC argues that a .XXX domain extension would make it much easier to filter or block adult sites.  This would be very bad news for the adult industry. 

In addition, the .XXX domain extension would be considered a "top level" domain, and its price would reflect that "distinction."  It is unclear at this time whether the new proposal would include blogs operating as non-hosted sites.  Presumably, however, a site such as JSJ, which has its own domain, would be required to get a .XXX domain extension.

This move by ICANN comes at a time when a House Committee has voted to roll back the FCC's Net Neutrality guarantees, essentially leaving all power in the hands of mega-corporate ISPs.  A required .XXX domain, together with the unfettered discretion of these ISPs to control content (effectively what happens when we lose Net Neutrality), might result in adult sites being completely blocked and made inaccessible. 

Only time will tell, but if you are interested, near San Francisco, and would like to be a part of the protests, they are taking place on Thursday, March 17, at 12:30, in front of the Westin-St. Francis Hotel located in Union Square, in San Francisco.

AussieBum Releases New "Man" Design

AussieBum's New "Man" Brief

Let's fact it, AussieBum is one of the best undergarment makers in the world.  They consistently deliver quality and sensuality at great prices with their underwear and swimwear.  So, what can we expect from their new line, "Man." 

In terms of the styling you may have come to expect from AussieBum, "Man" is definitely different.  Notice anything missing?  Where is the ubiquitous advertising and its accompanying design we associate with AussieBum?  Scaled back and streamlined. 



Of course, simply because they have started a new line doesn't mean that these will be less appealing to gay guys.  If "Man" continues to make our "junk" look like the crown jewels - the way AussieBum's other products do - gay men will come a'buying.

For more information on the new "Man" line, check out the video below.  You can also link to another article from London fashion columnist Msalonen.

Gotta Love Guys With Gear Bulges!

I am adding a couple of new sites to the Undergear Blogroll.  The first is Gear Bulges.  According to the site description, Gear Bulges is 

"dedicated to hot photos of men in revealing, bulging gear (and occasionaly out of the gear). Photos of bulging gear in materials of spandex/lycra, sheer net, rubber, leather will be featured. Speedos, thongs, jockstraps, running tights, shorts, cycling kits, skinsuits just to name a few will be a highlight of this blog."

Gear Bulges offers photos appreciating not only the bulging basket, but also a nice bubble butt.  I have only just started exploring the site myself, but I can already tell you it delivers some amazing pics in its March 11 post entitled "Speedo Butts."  Here's my favorite from the article:

This guy hardly needs any words or advertising on his butt cheeks to draw attention to them, but I am not complaining.  Mesmerized would be more accurate.  Wow!  


The second new site I added is Bulge Freak.  This site states its focus plainly and simply:  it's about guys "bulging in sexy gear."  That's exactly what it delivers.  See for yourself with these ultra hot bulge peek pics, which are only the beginning of a gallery of really awesome photos:

Hope you enjoy these newly added sites.  Stay tuned here, as I frequently add new sites on relevant subjects.  If you have a site, or know of one, that you think should be added, please contact me directly.

Are You Into Redheads?

Being an Irish holiday, St. Patrick's Day always gets me to thinking about redheads.  Of course, not every Irish dude is a redhead and there are a lot of redheads who are not from Ireland.  But, Irish guys quite often do have red hair, and redheads can be super hot!

If you do like redheads - or "ginger men" - you may want to check out Gay Redhead Porn.  The site appears not to have been updated recently, judging by the archive.  However, what is on the site and in the archives is worth a look.  In addition to many hot pics of redheads to enjoy, lots of pics - and vid clips - feature jockstraps and underwear.  

See what you think.  Here's some enticements to check it out:

Are You Ready For St. Patrick's Day?

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, the one day of the year when everyone can be a little Irish.  Like any other holiday, St. Patrick's Day has some signature items we tend to associate with it.  Unfortunately, they all tend to be more than a little on the tacky side.  In fact, when it comes to holiday stuff, St. Patrick's Day is, in my opinion, the hands-down tackiest (and I am Irish).

There is always some guy that thinks its "cool" to dress up like the love child of Elton John and the Riddler?

When I see a guy dressed like this, and he's over the age of oh 18, I automatically assume he hears voices which sound something like Alvin the Chipmunk.  He has other hats, too, when he's not dressed like Larry the Leprechaun, but unfortunately, all of the others are made of tinfoil. 



Or how about this poor guy?  This does not say fuck me all night long, I don't care how drunk you are or that you work at the everything is 99 cents store. 
It says I still live with my parents and I play World of Warcraft too much.

Now if Larry the Leprechaun here was wearing something like this green jockstrap underneath his ever-so-fetching green vest, I would at least ask him if he knew how to play anything other than World of Warcraft, like World of Let's Fuck In Our Jockstraps, perhaps. 

Similarly, if he was fumbling around outside a men's restroom at the local gay Irish pub, trying to figure out his lace front jockstraps, I would be a good Irish Samaritan and give him a hand (job).

And who cares about kissing some ole Blarney Stone?  These guys have more interesting "stones" underneath their green speedos.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.  Be Sexy, Be Safe!

Go Softwear Goes Vintage

From porn to clothes, everyone seems to dig "vintage," a slightly less hip way of saying "retro," I suppose.  Underwear designer Go Softwear recently unveiled their new "vintage wash" undies, which look great.  Here is a great pic showing off their new/old style in green, just in time for St. Patty's Day:

The vintage wash comes in a variety of colors also, if green isn't your thing. Thanks to UnderwearFanatic.com for the story.

Do You Have A Taste For Leather?

Do your tastes in undergear tend more towards leather?  If so, check out the blog at Hot Under-Gear.  This site is a stream of muscle-bound leather men wearing slightly more "intense" undergear.  I haven't been posting a lot of leather gear on this site because it gets covered on a lot of other sites. 

Hot Under-Gear is definitely worth adding to the blogroll, though, for those of you who like leather over spandex.  Here are some examples of the powerhouse pics you will find on the site:

Excellent Speedo Site - Speedo 4 U

I am adding Speedos 4U - a really great speedo site - to the JSJ blogroll.  This site is a must see/must visit site.  It is well-put together and has great post content full of man candy for everyone into skimpy swimwear.

Here are some examples of the quality of what you will find at Speedos 4U:

The one thing about this site is that it is definitely for the well worked out, so if that is not your thing, then Speedos 4U probably won't be interesting.  Nevertheless, the overall site's design and content are really great, and you should check it out.

Jockstrap Maid Service

Need someone to do your spring cleaning?  How about hiring a Jockstrap Maid.  Yes, that's right.  A Jockstrap Maid.

If you haven't heard of Jockstrap Maid Service, then check it out.  It's an interesting - albeit risky - business venture.  Here's how it works - guys sign up with the service to provide cleaning and other domestic or personal services (non-sexual).  Potential customers looking for domestic help browse their profiles basically like you would a personals ad on any other site.  Average prices range around $70-75 dollars per hour for the maid services, and different "maids" provide different services and charge different fees.

When the "maid" shows up, he cleans or performs whatever other duties he was hired for wearing only a jockstrap, like the photo to the left.

It's definitely interesting from an "adult" standpoint.  Heck, I like the idea of kicking back with an iced tea and watching some guy like the one above scrub the floors on his hands and knees.  I would even be willing to perform the work; it's kind of turn on, actually.

That is, of course, the problem.  From a purely business standpoint, this type of business has all sorts of potential legal disasters awaiting it.  To begin with, if the service is really matching up guys and knows or is reasonably aware that they are having sex with customers, then the service is, essentially, a prostitution business.  What happens if a guy ends up being placed in a hostile working environment, or is otherwise harmed by a customer that the business should have known was a threat?  In California, at least, the business might be liable to some degree because California recognizes "customer-based" sexual harassment claims against an employer.

However, Hooters managed to escape liability not too long ago, claiming that it was well-known that it had a bawdy, male-dominated working environment, and it was also well-known what kind of employees the company wanted to present to its customers (i.e., big breasted, shapely women).  Result - the employees, essentially, "assumed the risk" of any allegedly wrongful behavior they endured.

Examining the company's website, I noticed that it appears to be structured solely as a web-based "portal" or "hub," only providing a platform for the customer and "maid" to connect.  In this way, the company is similar to the old-school newspaper providing classified ads for massage therapists or "escorts."

In addition, if you work for the company as a "maid," it is pretty clear that - at least as far as the company is concerned - you are an independent contractor, not an employee.  For some employment law purposes, that might be okay.  Others, the answer is less clear.  Again, my home state of California comes to mind where laws and rules about employer-employee issues are far stricter than anywhere else, as a general rule.

Finally, look at what happened to Craigslist's "adult" services when various states' attorneys general threatened legal action.  Craigslist eliminated those services, permanently according to Congressional testimony in late 2010.  Of course, Craigslist is a huge operation.  Its "adult" services caught the attention of law enforcement officials and others because it is all over the place.  I doubt that Jockstrap Maid Service is anywhere close to that scope, so who cares right?

I should state very clearly that I have no idea if any untoward behavior has ever taken place with Jockstrap Maid Service.  If they can make a go of this risky idea, more power to them.  That's ingenuity, in my book.  There was even a very interesting video done by CNN not long ago, so the company has managed to garner some mainstream press for a rather "un-mainstream" business model. 

If you are interested in the company, or even being a maid, you might want to take a few minutes and watch the short video embedded at the bottom of the page.  It's definitely an interesting idea, but always exercise caution when entering into any kind of business relationship, regardless of its nature.

Couple Of Noteworthy Sites Added To Blogroll - James In Brief, Guys With iPhones

I am adding a couple of new links to the blogroll today.  The first site is James In Brief.  This site has a lot of great pictures of younger guys and men of color in particular.  If that is what gets you hot, then you may want to check it out.  Here are a few examples from the site:

The second site is an interesting one.  We have all seen these pics that guys take for personal ads/profiles where they are standing in front of a mirror with their camera right?  Not always the best pics, right?  Well, Guys With iPhones challenges that idea - this site is devoted to guys who take pics of themselves with iPhones.  At first, I wasn't sure what to make of it, but by virtue of the types of pictures it features, the site is filled with what looks like 100% amateur, guy next door kind of shots.  Again, some examples:

As u can see, the site features amateur-style pics by real guys.  There are all kinds of different types, ages, bodies, etc. on this site.  So, if that is what you like, Guys With iPhones may be for you.
