Fitness First Diary: Ample Eye Candy in Fitness First the Fort

It was models galore last Friday night at Fitness First The Fort. I had dinner later that night so I just did the treadmill and when I got to the locker room, there were several models there changing. Lucky me! Talk about working out your eyes! James Zablan looks hot because he's tall and I like his ass, especially when he bends down to change. Yum yum!! Kris Melendres bulge is nice! I like that these guys have no qualms changing along with the rest of us. Anyhow, they have great bodies, so really, no need to be ashamed about anything!

Top 10: Reasons Sex Makes Men Healthier

It’s a well-known fact that most men don’t need more reasons to have sex, but how many guys actually stop to think about the fact that sex could play a key role in their overall health and well-being? Regular sexual activity is more than recreational; good sexual health is vital to a man’s overall physical, psychological and emotional health. Sex can potentially benefit everything from a man’s short-term mood, to longer-term issues like cardiovascular health and the reduced risk of prostate cancer.

In addition, sex is a cost-effective and enjoyable way to ensure your long-term health. It’s cheaper than a gym membership and a lot better for your waistline than a nightly six pack. With the average man being more mindful than ever about both his budget and his health, sex might be just what the doctor ordered.

Here are 10 reasons sex makes men healthier -- so get busy tonight.

Start with No.1


No.1 - Long-term reproductive health
Just as men need regular physical activity to stay healthy and fit, exercising the penis, by achieving erections, is key to maintaining a healthy sex life for years to come. Men who don’t regularly engage in sexual activity or masturbation are at a greater risk for penile atrophy down the road. Just as they should aim for a full-body workout three times a week, men should try to exercise the penis at least three times a week as a way to help ward off erectile dysfunction or other sexual health issues later in life.

While regular sexual activity is an important part of overall health and well-being in men, many men with health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and cancer find erectile dysfunction to be an upsetting side effect of their condition. If you’re one of the millions of men who suffer from ED as a side effect of a health condition, don’t lose hope. There are treatment options available that could help you restore sexual function so you can enjoy all the health benefits mentioned here.

Dr. Phil Nguyen, M.D., serves as a physician with Boston Medical Group, an independent physician network that specializes in men’s health issues, including erectile dysfunction (which is often related to larger health issues such as diabetes, hypertension and cancer).


No.2 - Improved sleep
Oxytocin may sound like the new wonder drug when you consider that research has also shown that the increased levels of the hormone, along with the antidepressant chemical serotonin (which is also released during orgasm) promote deep sleep. Getting a restful night of sleep has been associated with a number of other health benefits, such as maintaining a healthy weight and lowering blood pressure.


No.3 - Pain relief
In addition to bonding you with your partner, oxytocin, serotonin and other endorphins released during your sexual peak can help alleviate pain associated with common problems like headache or arthritis. Next time you’re suffering from neck pain or a stress headache, try forgoing the Advil and hopping in the sack instead.




No.4 - Improved intimacy
Right before orgasm a number of endorphins are released and levels of the hormone oxytocin, sometimes referred to as the “love hormone,” surge to five times their normal level. Oxytocin has also been linked to an increased feeling of generosity, and is known to act as a neurotransmitter in the brain, building trust and helping to strengthen bonds.


No.5 - Boosting your immunity
Everyone is looking for ways to keep their immune system strong during this flu season -- one that could potentially be the worst in years. What men may not realize is that regular intercourse increases levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody known to boost the immune system. Having sex once or twice a week could help ward off colds or the flu.




No.6 - Stress relief
The decreased blood pressure that can result from sex could help lower your stress level. Various study participants have been shown to have a smaller rise in blood pressure during stressful situations after sex, as compared to other test subjects. Moreover, sex releases feel-good endorphins that can help lower anxiety. Who doesn’t want to forget about a tough day at the office with a good roll in the hay?



No.7 - Improved cardiovascular health
Because sex is a good form of exercise, it makes sense that it would positively impact the health of your heart. A study from Queens University shows that men who have sex more than three times a week cut their risk of heart attack and stroke in half. Sex has also been shown to lower blood pressure, which further accounts for the overall positive impact on cardiovascular health.



No.8 - Cancer prevention
A number of studies show that men who ejaculate on a regular basis are more than 30% less likely to develop prostate cancer. Regular ejaculation, whether from intercourse or masturbation, help flush out the prostate, which may help curb the development of prostate cancer.





No.9 - Strength training
In addition to burning calories, sex aids in testosterone production, which can strengthen bones and muscles. Testosterone is also responsible for maintaining healthy energy levels, mood, fertility, and sexual desire. So having sex today could help keep your sex drive up down the road. Decreasing testosterone levels, known as andropause or male menopause, can result in a number of side effects including decreased libido, fatigue and depression, among others.



No.10 - Calorie burn
While sex alone may not be enough to create bulging biceps and washboard abs, intercourse definitely gets the blood pumping by raising the heart rate and burning calories. Estimates show that an average session between the sheets can burn 85 to upwards of 200 calories in 30 minutes. If you spent half an hour having sex daily, that could lead to a weight loss of 10 pounds or more over the course of a year. And it’s hopefully more fun than a run on the treadmill.

More Glee Hunks: Cory Monteith

It's funny I've never written about any of the Glee hunks so I'm updating my list of favorite hunks to include some that I've seen in the show. Number one in my list is Cory Monteith, who plays Finn. My favorite Finn moment was his Open Your Heart duet, which really impressed me since I've never heard that song being covered by anyone - till that time - and it's a guy at that who's singing it!

FILIPINO CELEBRITY HUNK: Jay Dizon of I Love Dreamguyz

This is one of the local gay indie movies that I actually enjoyed watching! There's Marco Morales, frontally nude, as usual; the cute Sherwin Ordonez and this guy, named, Jay Dizon, who has two sizzling male-to-male sex scenes with Marco Morales. Enough reason why you should get out and buy a copy of this movie! The story is interesting enough - a group of guys who want to go to Japan as a dancing group. Some succeed, some don't - some even die. But who cares? We're just all after the eye candy anyway! This hunk, Jay Dizon, takes the cake for me! Love him! I haven't seen him though in any more new indie movies. How sad.

5 μύθοι για τον αυνανισμό

Είναι αφύσικο να αυνανιζόμαστε; Αν είμαστε παντρεμένοι τι γίνεται; Κινδυνεύουμε από ασθένειες; O Crazy Greek blogger καταρρίπτει τους μύθους σχετικά με τον αυνανισμό.

Όπως και το σεξ έτσι και ο αυνανισμός συνοδεύεται από ταμπού και προκαταλήψεις αιώνων. Ταμπού που αφενός δημιουργούν αισθήματα ενοχής και αφετέρου εμποδίζουν τα ζευγάρια να επικοινωνήσουν σεξουαλικά.

O Crazy Greek blogger, λοιπόν, έψαξε, βρήκε τι λέει η επιστήμη σχετικά και καταρρίπτει τους μύθους!

Προκαλεί τύφλωση
Τα στατιστικά λένε ότι 9 στους 10 άντρες έχουν αυνανιστεί τουλάχιστον μια φορά στη ζωή τους… και ό,τι ο δέκατος λέει ψέματα. Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες το φεμινιστικό κίνημα, η σεξουαλική επανάσταση και η χειραφέτηση των γυναικών έχει απελευθερώσει το ασθενές φύλο και σε αυτό το θέμα.

Όσες έρευνες έχουν γίνει για τον αυνανισμό καταλήγουν ότι δεν προκαλεί «καμία νόσο και καμία μαλακία». Μια έρευνα από το Ινστιτούτο Κίνσεϊ που μελέτησε ανθρώπους που αυνανίζονταν για χρόνια πάνω από τέσσερις φορές την ημέρα έδειξε ότι ήταν απολύτως υγιείς. Μια πρόσφατη έρευνα σε άντρες βρήκε και θετικές επιδράσεις σε ότι αφορά την απομάκρυνση καρκινογόνων χημικών (ανθρακένιο) από τους όρχεις.

Είναι αφύσικο να αυνανίζονται οι παντρεμένοι
Οι έρευνες πάνω σε αυτό το θέμα δείχνουν ότι όχι μόνο είναι συνηθισμένοι και για τα δύο φύλα να αυνανίζονται ενώ είναι παντρεμένοι αλλά και ότι είναι επωφελές για τη σεξουαλική τους ζωή. Στις ευεργετικές επιδράσεις αναφέρονται η ανακούφιση από το στρες, ο καλύτερος έλεγχος των οργασμός και η χρήση του ως εναλλακτικής απόλαυσης στη σεξουαλική ζωή.

Είναι αφύσικο να αυνανίζονται οι παντρεμένοι ο ένας μπροστά στον άλλο
Αυτό είναι κάτι που συμβαίνει ιδιαίτερα με ζευγάρια που δεν είναι τόσο ανοιχτά στο θέμα του σεξ. Και δεδομένης όλης της αρνητικής δημοσιότητας του θέματος είναι λογικό να αισθάνεται κάποιος αμηχανία ή ντροπή να αυνανιστεί μπροστά στο σύντροφο του.

Λογικό όμως δε σημαίνει και δικαιολογημένο. Σε ότι αφορά τις επιστημονικές προσεγγίσεις οι περισσότεροι ψυχολόγοι – σύμβουλοι γάμου συστήνουν την επικοινωνία ως το καλύτερο μέσο για να ξεπεραστούν τα αρνητικά συναισθήματα και οι επιπλοκές από τέτοια ζητήματα σε ένα γάμο.

Ο αυνανισμός στερεί στις γυναίκες τον οργασμό κατά τη συνουσία
Η πραγματικότητα είναι αρκετά διαφορετική. Για τις περισσότερες γυναίκες η κλειτορίδα είναι το κέντρο της σεξουαλικής απόλαυσης. Η θέση της κλειτορίδας, όμως, δεν επιτρέπει τη διέγερση της κατά τη συνουσία και κατ’ επέκταση τον οργασμό. Αυτή είναι η αιτία που πολλές γυναίκες διαχωρίζουν τα δύο είδη σεξουαλικής απόλαυσης.

Είναι αφύσικο να αυνανίζονται τα παιδιά της σχολικής ηλικίας
Διάφορες έρευνες δείχνουν ότι κινήσεις ψηλάφησης των γεννητικών οργάνων γίνονται ακόμα και κατά τη διάρκεια της κύησης. Το αφύσικο θα ήταν τα παιδιά της σχολικής ηλικίας να μην εξερευνούν το σώμα τους!

Obama treading carefully on gay issues in 2012 bid

New York: President Barack Obama has delivered important political victories for gays but is unlikely to push his support for gay rights much further before the 2012 election in case he alienates independent voters.

Gay leaders will likely give Obama high marks at a fundraiser in New York on Thursday for pushing through issues like winning gays the right to serve openly in the military.

Yet calls for the White House to back gay marriage and strengthen federal anti-discrimination protection will probably go unheeded as Obama treads carefully in the run-up to next November's election.
Obama treading carefully on gay issues in 2012 bid

"The conundrum Obama faces is keeping this essential core constituency while not going overboard and alienating the high-intensity opponents of that constituency," said pollster John Zogby of IBOPE Zogby International. "His challenge is to continue to play it cool and not to go overboard."

Independent voters, seen as less likely to back gay causes, will be crucial in winning closely contested states such as Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Indiana and Wisconsin.

With the economy in trouble, the election is shaping up as a tighter race for Obama than his 2008 victory and he must keep key voting groups on board.

Evangelicals mostly vote Republican, but Obama took 30 per cent of their votes in 2008 and he cannot afford to lose them, Zogby said. African Americans voted 95 per cent for Obama in 2008 and heavily oppose gay marriage, he said.

Among Latinos, which Obama won in 2008, 40 per cent call themselves social conservatives.

By contrast, the gay vote is small although influential. A CNN exit poll from 2008 showed 4 per cent of voters were gay, lesbian or bisexual and 70 per cent of them voted for Obama. Another reckoning puts gays at 7 per cent of voters.

Boston University political science department chair Professor Graham Wilson said Obama will want to keep his gay constituencies sweet because they have high incomes, making them a potentially strong fundraising group.

"So long as Obama maintains his reasonably OK record on gay issues and Republicans continue to be identified with fairly aggressive anti-gay sentiments, there is not much doubt as to where the gay vote goes," Wilson said.

Many in the gay community praise Obama for ending the "don't ask don't tell" policy banning gays from openly serving in the military and for instructing the Justice Department to stop defending a law banning federal recognition of same-sex unions.

But many are annoyed that he has not backed gay marriage, seeing his "evolving" position on the issue as a cop-out. They also want sexual orientation added to federal discrimination statutes.

"So far it's a mixed bag," said Richard Socarides, head of the national gay-rights group Equality Matters.

"People believe his heart is in the right place. He's especially attractive when you consider the alternative," he said.

Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said the president has made "historic progress" on gay issues and that his record stands in stark contrast to what would happen if Republicans were to win in the 2012 presidential election.

"I don't in any way doubt there are those who don't feel like progress has been made fast enough," Axelrod told MSNBC this week. "There is going to be a fundamental choice to be made in the next election and I think that choice will be clear to everyone and will be a galvanizing choice."

Politics Professor Ken Sherrill at Hunter College in New York City said Obama has made many small advances in gay rights such as requiring that hospitals taking federal money allow gays the right to visit their partners in hospital.

"The objections to Obama are more questions of the pace of change and the visibility of change," Sherrill said.

But Dan Weiller, of Empire State Pride Agenda which is lobbying this week in Albany for gay marriage in New York state, said gays should understand Obama's pragmatic approach.

"We recognize that for the president there are certain political realities," he said.

Marjorie Hill, chief executive of Gay Men's Health Crisis, America's oldest Gay AIDS service group, said she supported Obama financially in 2008 and will again in 2012.

"Anyone can talk the talk, but walking the walk does take longer," she said. "Being in office for two and a half years, there have been amazing strides."

Federal court upholds gay judge’s ruling on California gay marriage ban

A US federal court has upheld a ruling by a gay judge that California’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.

This is the latest round in a long legal battle over the issue.

US District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled in August 2010 that the ban should be lifted. In the following months, it emerged that he was gay and in a long-term relationship.

Opponents of gay marriage complained that as a gay man, he had a conflict of interest. They claimed he planned to marry his partner but could show no evidence for this.

Chief US District Judge James Ware ruled yesterday that the fact Judge Walker is in a relationship would not make him “so interested in marrying the person that he would be unable to exhibit the impartiality which, it is presumed, all federal judges maintain”.

The ruling means gay marriage campaigners in the state are one step closer to reaching their goal.

After Judge Walker’s ruling last year, opponents applied – and won – a stay while they appealed the decision.

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeal is currently considering that decision but says it will not make a ruling until the state Supreme Court rules on whether gay marriage opponents have the legal standing to appeal the original judgement.

New York ‘close to legalising gay marriage’

New York is reportedly on the brink of marriage equality after another Republican senator said yesterday he would support the move.

Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced the legislation in both houses yesterday.

With the new support of Sen Roy McDonald, 31 out of 62 Senate members are expected to back it, leaving the bill in need of just one more vote.

Another Republican and three Democrats have also said they will back the bill after opposing gay marriage in the past.

In the Democrat-controlled Assembly, which has backed gay marriage a number of times, the bill is expected to pass.

Mr Cuomo has said before that he will not introduce a bill until he is sure it will succeed. A gay marriage bill suffered a surprise defeat in 2009 after support levels were overestimated.

This bill does not offer protection to individuals who refuse to officiate or provide services to gay weddings. However, religious groups are not obliged to perform the ceremonies.

If the bill passes, it will come into law 30 days after Mr Cuomo signs the legislation, making New York the sixth US state to allow gay couples to marry.

Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington DC currently have marriage equality.

California’s ban is under review

French parliament rejects gay marriage bill

The French parliament has rejected a bill designed to give gay couples the right to marry.

Today, lawmakers voted by 293 votes to 222 to block the bill, which was not expected to pass.

In January, the country’s constitutional court upheld the ban on gay marriage after a challenge from a lesbian couple.

Corinne Cestino and Sophie Hasslauer, who have lived together for 15 years and have four children, asked for the right to marry but were turned down by the Constitutional Council.

The court ruled that the ban did not breach the French constitution and said it was up to parliament whether to change the law.

France has had PACS since 1999. The civil unions are available to straight and gay couples but do not give all the rights of marriage.

A survey published on the day of the court verdict by TNS Sofres showed that 58 per cent of 950 respondents were in favour of gay marriage and 35 per cent were against.

In 2006, the same agency found that only 45 per cent of respondents agreed with giving gay couples the right to marry.

Seven European states – Norway, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden and Iceland – allow gay couples to marry.

Others, such as the UK and Germany, allow civil partnerships or unions.

Protest held at Northern Ireland ‘gay cure’ conference

Around 50 gay activists held a protest today outside a small ‘gay cure’ conference held in Northern Ireland.

The event, held by the Core Issues Group, featured David Pickup, an American speaker who says gay people can be turned straight.

The protesters gathered outside Belvoir Church of Ireland earlier today with placards bearing messages such as ‘your cure kills’.

Mr Pickup told the BBC: “I don’t cure anybody – The client always determines if there are root causes for homosexuality.

“I don’t force anybody or cure anybody – a client naturally spontaneously grows into his authentic heterosexual self.”

John O’Doherty, director of the Rainbow Project, responded: “It is the same ridiculous comments we have been hearing for 30 years that gay people are gay because they have had an overbearing mother and an absent father and quite often that they are sexual abuse cases.

“We are here to tell the people who are attending and the wider public that there is real therapy and real support here in Northern Ireland from a gay affirmative approach which will help people be the best person they can and also reinforce with them that being gay is not something to be ashamed of.”

Belvoir Church said it had nothing to do with the conference and occasionally allows other groups to use the space.

Coronation Street star gets anti-gay abuse on Twitter

Coronation Street star Antony Cotton threatened to call people after being on the receiving end of anti-gay abuse on Twitter.

The actor, who plays Sean Tully in the soap, was told by user ‘kittykatlovex’: “I hope you get AIDS and die you freak.”

He responded: “I think we should report this one to the police.”

Later, Cotton wrote: “Don’t worry tweeps – I’m not upset! She looks like Worzel Gummidge!”

He added: “It is important to stand up, speak out and stamp out homophobia.

“And for that reason it’s important that I stand up for myself and make a point at least.

“Homophobia has no place in our society.

“What anyone thinks of me, the actor off the telly, is none of my business.

“But as a gay man, I am proud of who I am and the community I am part of. Some people are gay, get over it.”

The ‘kittykatlovez’ account has now been suspended.

125 complaints over EastEnders gay bed scene

At least 125 people have complained over an EastEnders scene which showed a gay couple lying in bed.

Viewers complained that the episode, broadcast before the watershed, was inappropriate and could “confuse” children.

In the scene, from two weeks ago, engaged gay couple Christian Clarke and Syed Massood were shown topless and cuddling, with bedsheets covering their lower bodies.

They were shown lying in each other’s arms and sharing a quick kiss.

One viewer, writing on a BBC message board, complained: “I’m not a homophobe but really do not want to see gay men in bed naked and kissing, especially whilst my ten-year-old daughter is sitting with me, before the watershed. Might be socially acceptable to some but there is a time and place and definitely not before nine o’clock, confusing my kids. There was no warning.”

Although more than 100 people complained, the BBC said people had contacted the corporation to praise the scene.

Executives said in a statement: “EastEnders aims to reflect real life, and this means including and telling stories about characters from many different backgrounds, faiths, religions and sexualities.

“We approach our portrayal of homosexual relationships in exactly the same way as we do heterosexual relationships, ensuring depictions of affection or sexuality between couples are suitable for pre-watershed viewing.

“We would also point out that same-sex civil partnerships became law in December 2005, giving equal rights to gay couples in the UK. The BBC cannot discriminate by treating gay characters differently to heterosexual characters.

“We have also received a lot of very positive feedback about the storyline regarding Christian and Syed’s relationship.”

Audience research published by the BBC last year found that one in five people say they are uncomfortable with seeing gays and lesbians on television.

US defence secretary says progress on gay ban could come this month

US defence secretary Robert Gates says he sees no bar to repealing the military gay ban and could endorse the change at the end of this month.

Speaking to Associated Press, Mr Gates said he will back progress if the chiefs of the military recommend moving forward at the end of this month.

Mr Gates is to leave his post on June 30th, after four and a half years as Pentagon chief.

Discussing the repeal process, he said: “I think people are pretty satisfied with the way this process is going forward. I think people have been mildly and pleasantly surprised at the lack of pushback in the training.”

But he added that it would be “unrealistic” to expect that there would be no anti-gay incidents when repeal takes place.

Mr Gates said that the ban could be fully lifted by September.

President Obama pledged to repeal the 1993 law in his 2008 election campaign but was criticised by gay groups for being slow to act.

In December, the US Senate finally voted to repeal the 17-year ban.

Military officials are currently training troops on the change. Then, the president, Mr Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm Mike Mullen must certify that the ban can be lifted without damaging the military.

Following this certification, 60 days must pass before repeal officially takes place.

Gay campaigners welcome mosque’s pledge

Gay rights campaigners have welcomed what they say is the first significant promise from the East London Mosque to stop hosting homophobic speakers.

Earlier this week, a letter signed by 12 activists, including writers Julie Bindel and Paul Burston, said it was clear that there was a religious campaign in east London to intimidate gay people.

The letter, which cited numerous examples of homophobic speakers invited to the mosque, called on local Muslim leaders to pledge to ban them.

In response, East London Mosque spokesman Salman Farsi told the Guardian that homophobic speakers were not permitted.

“Any speaker who is believed to have said something homophobic will not be allowed to use our premises, whether that is us organising an event or someone else. As for the condemnation of homophobia, our director has gone on the record on this,” he said.

He added that the £100 fine was a “slap on the wrist” and said the mosque was doing “as much as we possibly can”.

Activists who signed the first letter welcomed the comments but demanded the mosque should declare the new policy on its website.

A statement said: “We, the undersigned, welcome the East London Mosque’s statement that they will no longer allow their premises to be used by homophobic speakers and take them at their word.

“Eliminating a platform for hate in such an influential institution as the East London Mosque is a strong, positive action and will have a very positive effect on both the local gay and Muslim communities.

“We request that the East London Mosque make this policy known on its website – and to the Muslim, Asian and East London media – so that the entire community can see their commitment to stopping homophobia and to improving community relations.”

The demand for more action from the mosque came after a local man was fined just £100 for distributing anti-gay stickers in the area.

Homophobic hate crime has risen in Tower Hamlets over the last year, from 61 offences to 87. In 2008, gay man Oliver Hemsley was paralysed in a homophobic attack on Hackney Road, close to gay nightspots George & Dragon and The Joiners Inn.

Knighthood for Section 28 backer Brian Souter

Brian Souter, the Stagecoach co-founder who gave £1 million to a 2000 campaign to uphold Section 28, has been honoured with a knighthood.

The 57-year-old businessman has not spoken out against gay rights in 11 years but almost 2,500 people have signed a petition calling for the honour to be rescinded.

Sir Brian was named on Saturday as a recipient in the Queen’s birthday honours list.

He co-founded Stagecoach with his sister, Ann Gloag, in 1980 and the company now has 35,000 employees and an annual turnover of more than £2 billion.

He was the leader of the Keep the Clause campaign and cited religious beliefs as his reason for supporting the ban on the promotion of homosexuality in schools.

Commenting on the honour, he said: “Having started my career in public transport as a young bus conductor, I am delighted to receive this prestigious honour. However, the achievements and innovations would not have been possible without the dynamic Stagecoach team who support me and I accept this award on their behalf.”

Lesbian comedian Sue Perkins joked on Twitter: “Brian Souter is so homophobic I imagine he will refuse to bend over to accept his knighthood.”
