Hugh Hefner And The Playboy Legacy
Hugh Hefner deserves a huge amount of credit for mainstreaming sex in the modern age. He brought a dynamic and cross-platform lifestyle dimension into the lives of men, refining from the start his own vision of contemporary manhood that included personal style, living quarters, hot rides, literature and the arts (and of course, sexy ladies) as integral elements of the well-rounded man.
DAVID PEVSNER: A Conversation
I've said so often that one man's art is another man's porn, and everyone's line is different. Just showing your dick is porn to some. I don't know... I've been really enjoying expressing my sexual and artistic freedom in these photos, and the fact that some guys (and women!) seem to be inspired by a man of my age putting it all out there in a thoughtful way

The Most Self-Important List of The 21 Most Self-Important Movies of All Time
Over the years there've been a number of films that take themselves a little too seriously. The overall success of these films can be the difference between self-awareness and self-indulgence, and often it's hard to tell the difference. A Message Film can unintentionally become a Camp Masterpiece or, worse, Great Big Bomb, by default of its own over-baked seriousness. Sometimes, a movie just can't get out of its own way, and that's why we love them so.
RISE: the album
I wanted to create songs that weren't so much FOR masturbation as ABOUT masturbation and sexual revolution, trying to interpret sex energies into thumping, whooshing, pulsing waves of expressive sonic surprise. Call it music if you will. Dance naked if you must. Just get up and take this moment in your hands.

Since we started BateWorld six years ago, we've been slowly evolving and improving our user experience. The current version, BateWorld2.0, was launched in 2010 after our first year of operation. We've continually improved on that foundation for five years and now we're ready to take it to the next stage. In 2016, BateWorld will begin its third phase of transformation. Our members will soon begin to see changes to the site, which may continue gradually through several more years as we upgrade every element of BateWorld.

Spunk: Antonio Da Silva Creates A Masterpiece
Antonio Da Silva’s films are completely unique, openly explicit, and erotically charged documents of man-to-man sexuality. Da Silva’s filmmaking often touches on the interactions between technology and hookups, and with Spunk (2015), he goes deep-in to examine and artfully decode our new world of digital media as it redefines
SENSE 8: The BatorBlog Review
We started out at one point talking about how evolution involves creating ever greater circles of empathy: You belong to your family, then you belong to your tribe, then two tribes link up and now you have empathy for your people on this side of the river… on and on through villages, cities, states and nations…
