Buck-ing for Promotion
How do you like your guys?
Do you like them with a smooth, shaved head? A handlebar mustache, maybe? Huge, bulging biceps and tats that go on for days? Then Buck Angel might be just the thing for you.
Oh, and did we mention that he has a vagina? (Were the "birthing hips" a giveaway?)
Since I seem to be striking out all over the place today – with attempts at humor that no one thinks are funny, and daily features that no one believes are relevant – I decided to post the most shocking video in Malcovision history.
It's not unlike the first rule in crisis communications: "Get all of your bad news out at once."
So prepare to behold a disaster of epic proportions. We're talking Poseidon to the 9/11th power.
Buck Angel is described as “the world’s first FTM porn star with a vagina.” That's kind of like saying you pitched the first no-hitter for a right-hander on a Tuesday at night on artificial turf.
In the most extreme and most extremely NSFW clip we've ever posted, Buck recently stopped by The Howard Stern Show. Things were going relatively fine until he/she agreed to ride the “Sybian,” an industrial-strength, vibrating self-pleasure device.
Just as a precaution, unless you are the biggest trannophile ever, you might want to have a shrink on standby, or at least a bucket handy. And when you stab out your eyes with knitting needles, don't say that you weren't warned.

Whatever . . .
Relevant; since when did this site have to be relevant?

I can honestly say that I have now seen everything.

Why am I not surprised that QC is hatin' on Buck. I think Buck (who would be a HE) is HOT.
I wish gays like QC would at least try not to be part of the problem.
Glorya Rulz!

People like Buck Angel keep transsexuality transgressive. I think it's great. While I'm not comfortable with the promotion of the idea that sex reassignment surgeries are the best solution for gender identity issues, half-baked third sex theories or the notions that people who have them need them or ever truly become the opposite sex--Buck Angel is a living work of art. Kudos to Buck for keeping things interesting and blazing his own trail.

Sorry - if being completely turned OFF by HE(she/it) is part of "the problem" then so be it.

yeah yeah.. buck is 'brave' and a 'work of art' blah blah blah ... but i've seen "his" titan porn debut and, call me what-you-will, i do NOT..repeat NOT want to see 'vaginas on men' in my porn... ever ever ever again. ever.

QC- You think that I meant that your feelings of repulsion towards Buck is "the problem"? I doubt it. I think know you understood what I meant. Isn't that's why you repeated the whole he/she/it thing? To rub it in more? Buck is more of a man than you'll ever be. And I bet your pussy's way sloppier too.
Posted by: Patrick | May 03, 2006 at 05:06 PM
El - you had no idea you would be into it before you watched?

Goodness! who knew Patrick was such a fan of manginas?
Posted by: Queer Conservative | May 03, 2006 at 05:17 PM
For the record, I never said 'brave.' I said 'interesting' and 'living work of art.' There's a difference. I would never devalue the term 'brave' by applying it to elective plastic surgery. I just wanted to make that clear.
As for vaginas, well, they're OK. It's what they're attached to that I generally have a problem with. Bada-bing!
(Warning: I am not available for discussions about misogyny today. That was a joke.)

I hate to admit that I once attended a big party at a club in Europe, looked up on stage at one point when a bunch of go-go boys parted and this guy appeared, with wings on his back, pulled down his pants, and....well, let's just say now I know I wasn't hallucinating ....

I do believe the chip on Patrick's shoulder actually grew it's own fingers and typed the above comments all by itself.

The hips were/are a giveaway. But if I hadn't seen him without a shirt, and didn't already know who he was, I'd think he's totally cute and hit on him. Heck, I know who he is, and I still think he's cute (look at that smile!). He looks like any one of a number of cute guys I see at the Eagle in SF on a Sunday afternoon.
The hitting on? Hm. If he's actually nice in person, I'd certainly flirt.

I suppose my real question is: What/who is the market for this porn? Won't straight guys be repulsed by the manly aspects and gay guys be revolted by the poonanny?
Posted by: Malcontent | May 03, 2006 at 07:19 PM
Goes to show, one of the seemingly biggest unexamined issues (in a general/popular way) in the community and between the community and straights is the intersection and divergence of sexuality and gender identity.
Often, I think many people, perhaps most, (especially straights) view sexuality and gender identity as the same thing, while others, like me, see them as very distinct. Like, 'boys don't cry' is just another gay movie to some, when others don't understand it that way, at all.

Strangely, I know two homos that have messed around with FTMs.
So I guess not all homos are replused by poonanny.
I tend to see the theatrical revusion many gay men perform for vaginas as remarkably similar to the way straight men balk at the notion of anal sex with men. It seems to be about policing sexual identity. Vaginas are warm and nice (if a little weird looking)and they are actually designed to make cocks happy. And considering how popular anal sex seems to be with straight men (Stern comes to mind), that revulsion seems much ado about nothing as well.
Not meant to reflect on anyone here particulary. That's just my general opinion.

revulsion and particularly
But then, correct spelling in my comments here went out the window long ago.

Oh come on dawg where's your sense of adventure?

Yo Mal seriously, based on past confessions, I might have thought Buck Angel to be right up your alley, no?

This leads me to another question. Please do not take this as confirming that all gay guys think that all straight guys are at least potentially bi or gay, because it's not that.
But I am curious about what would be the attraction of a straight person to a site that is to blatantly, outwardly gay. Is it our ideological leanings?
I would love to have more straight readers, but I also know they're a tiny minority here. I don't expect all the shirtless guys and discussion of bulges and so forth would exactly be packing them in.
Seriously, I'm asking this from a purely sociological perspective and nothing else. (I had actually assumed that Blews was gay, as I do of all male readers, until I'm told otherwise. Maybe it had something to do with having "Blew" in his name.)

HA! I have a new favorite Mal-ism.

Uh uh. It's just cause they're yicky... Phewee!
Posted by: Queer Conservative | May 03, 2006 at 08:30 PM
You know, that's a good point, Mal -- one never knows exactly how a given straight person will take our drooling.
I wasn't sure whether I should type that part about "handsome straight men wanting to chain themselves next to me" because I didn't know how Blews would react to it.
At the same time, though, we definitely need to put in a strong word against "gay by association". It would do the world a lot of good if we put to rest the mythos that being in a gay bar/having gay friends/gazing upon male porn/kissing a guy once or twice/liking to cook and caring about your fingernails/etc. means you're gay.
Posted by: North Dallas Thirty | May 03, 2006 at 08:37 PM
In an honest attempt to be "fair" I watched the video; or as much of the video as I could. I'm now on my second martini and I've got an appointment with a trauma counselor tomorrow.
For God's sake Blewsdog - don't watch it, just don't...watch...it!
Oh the poonannity.
