There He Is, Mr. Gay International

Now that's more like it.

After seriously skimping on the skin last month (and in recent months), Instinct magazine redeems itself in December.

At the head of the holiday eye-candy parade is coverboy Jesse Bashem, who fought a hardscrabble battle up from his lowly perch as "Mr. Gay San Diego" to loftier heights as "Mr. Gay International."

If you actually bother to read his interview, you can see Jesse use phrases like "cognitively process."

But I'm sure that, with this shirtless Mr. Gay gracing the pages of Instinct, we will only be reading it for the articles.

More after the jump ...

It's getting hard to read Instinct anymore - too many comments drooling over Kayne and his anti Bush rant. They used to be edgy and cutting edge, now they are starting to morph into every other gay advocate wannabe out there.

But I do love the pictures!

He has a charm about him.

[AGJ]

He's okay. He's probably a great looking guy without all the "dolling up". Looks too feminine for my tastes.

[olivier]

My thoughts precisely AGJ.

I love Latin types. But this guy is just plain ugly. Pumped up chests do nothing for me without some hair to go along. This guy looks like he's still in junior high. Whatever happened to MEN?

[Robbie]

Yeah, completely hairless. Uh, very masculine.

Now I can add Mr Gay International to my list of "I must be a dinosaur cause I just don't get the sexiness of": Johnny Depp, Leonardo di Caprio, Jude Law and all the other somewhat pouty ghyrlyboymen who are supposed to be hot.

sorry girls, i love me a nice smooth sassy man. i'll never understand the hair/bear fetish many of us have. but to each their own, it's comforting to know that we are not all of one borg-like mind when it comes to our objects of lust. I'm anxious to see Ethan's spread.

An aside: In this very same issue, does anyone else recognize
Bobby Jon Drinkard from Survivor as one the underwear models in the sleepwear/underwear feature? (page 69 of course)

I love MBTs and have several pairs. Was hopeful this would do the trick, but rubs on my bunion and cuts into my toes. So sad. Have to return. Mbts has amazing delivery times and policies.

Such wonderful shoes for the tradeshow floor! After a nine-hour day spent standing on concrete, I was actually energized enough by these marvelous shoes to go for a mile-plus walk at the end of the day. I am sold, and probably sold several pairs of these shoes on the show floor alone by telling people how I didn't hurt, and how perky I felt.
