Subject: Re: The unsighted Bocelli (pic attached)

Ben and group, I love Andrea's voice, and have the same cassette as you, Ben. I also like "my prayer" that he sings with Selin Dion. (sorry, can't spell). I feel proud that a blind person is so popular, and is so talented. I wonder how he manages the movements on stage, or facial expressions, or gestures, because if I could sing, I wouldn't know how to do those.

I was moved by the interplay between you, Ben and your lover. Taking a shower with a guy is wonderful, especially when you're a big guy, like me, and you get soaped up all over!

When I was a young boy, I wanted to meet Helen Keller, but she wasn't meeting people by then: she was too old. My mother did have me meet Robert Smithdas, who was the second deaf-blind person to go to college, 50 years after Helen Keller. My mother got a card with the manual alphabet, and every evening, after supper, she would teach me a few letters so I would be able to talk to Bob.

I think with amazement of the many things my mother did for her blind son: she let me touch everything, even when people made comments. I touched the windows of a subway, and learned how to open them. I touched cars, and tried to decipher the names, written in raised print. I remember once in a coffee shop, I had ordered a piece of chocolate cake and was eating it, using my finger to gently feel that the cake was on the fork. This woman, who probably didn't know I was blind, said to my mother, "Why don't you teach your son how to eat properly? He's old enough not to be making such a mess and using his fingers. What's wrong with him, anyway?" And my mother said, very quietly, "He can't see, and anyway, fingers were here way before forks and spoons." Of course the woman was mortified and apologized and apologized and apologized and apologized, and the whole thing struck me very strangely, because I knew I was blind, but wasn't quite sure of all the ramifications of blindness.

I think Andrea had sight and became blind. I also read somewhere that he had studied law. Too bad he's not gay, but we all can't be perfect!

As a change of subject, have any of you heard of the pianist (sighted) Gereck Olsen? Is he good?

Hugs,
Bob and Harley

Bob:
Did Dan tell you the people at the Fortune restaurant were asking about you. They were also asking abouEvan since he was under the booth they could not see him. You are still making impressions when you go out to eat. How about some onions in your wonton soup? The waitress asked about it. Take care. I agree with your statement about Bocelli.

I have to explain: John visited with me when I went to Columbus, and he took me and my blind friend Dan out for dinner. We had a really wonderful time; John really guided both of us quite well; we must have taken a lot of room: two big guys, John, and two Labradors! The Chinese restaurant tried to get me to eat vegetables but I valiantly resisted! I am sure that my poor eating habits have kept me going! And I hear now that chocolate has antioxidants. Who would have believed it?!!!

Hugs,

Subject: Hot young men of soccer, and toreros and Flamenco dancers!

Rivaldo (Brazilian, on the left), Zinedine Zidane (French, in the center) and Luis Figo (Portuguese, on the right) were the nominees for the coveted Fifa World (Soccer) Player of the Year 2000 award. Zidane won for the second time in his career.

Not one for team/contact sports in general, I have, however, always enjoyed watching soccer. A classic fag, I like the exposed bodies of those hot young men. My partner goes nuts over coaches/referees and anybody older on the football field, baseball diamond or basketball court. So I guess we are where we belong -- in the Silverfoxes Syndrome, which seesaws the generations.

I will NEVER forget a game of soccer I saw played years ago in what was then Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). France was the guest team, and this fabulous Frenchman took a tumble under a stack of Rhodesians. I was not sure how it happened, but in the melee, he was stripped naked below the waist, and when he got up from the ground, his big ol' uncut dick was standing tall. He was so embarrassed he could prolly have died on the spot. I heard later from a Rhodesian pal that word had spread in the home team that "the frog was queer," so a couple of them worked him over for the hell of it. The French team, thoroughly pissed, whipped Rhodesian ass after that and finished the game far out in front.

That was even more fun than the time I watched this hot torero (bullfighter) strut around the bullring in Barcelona, waving at the ladies and completely unaware that the bull's horns had snagged the seat of his pants and his beautiful bubble butt was hanging out of the rear of his magnificent "Suit of Light."

Don't get me started on toreros and Flamenco dancers! When I lived in Spain as a young man, they were my cups of tea -- chocolate, really, because the cafes of Madrid featured five or six varieties of hot chocolate on the menu in the style of various countries, ranging from thick as pudding to watery.

There was a cafe on the main thoroughfare, a boulevard known as the Avenida José Antonio, but more popularly known as the Gran Vía (in the same context that New York's Broadway is called the Great White Way). This cafe had several balconies around a central floor. At least two of the tiers were gay, not in an obvious way because this was the time of Franco and his military regime, but quite apparent to trained observers like me!

Many of the toreros and Flamenco dancers in the country called in at this cafe while fighting or dancing in Madrid (some soccer players, too). As a matter of fact, I saw Breno Mello there once, whose face was known all over the world at that time for his appearance in "Black Orpheus," the magnificent French/Brazilian film set in Rio at Carnival in a retelling of the Orphic legend. It is still one of my favorite films. Except for Pele, Mello was the most famous soccer star in Brazil then. He was mobbed by the Spanish guys in the cafe, but he seemed to be with a terrifically handsome young man who guarded him like a watch dog. It was in that cafe that a very slim fellow caught my eye, less for his beauty than for the long bulge running down his inner thigh. I was never exactly a size queen, but I couldn't take my eyes off it. It did not cross my mind to introduce myself because he was surrounded by men who seemed to know who he was, but I picked up on an unmistakable glance from him in my direction. It was simmering. Still, I steered clear, unwilling to brave his admiring mob of what I figured were guys who knew he had the right stuff!

When I decided to leave a little later and started for the door, I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind and a deep, masculine voice that said, "Hola, guerito!" (Hi, blondie!) At the end of long fingers dangled a business card, and at the other end of the long fingers was the hand attached to the arm of the Spaniard with the ten-foot dick (not quite, but what the hell!). "A medianoche, en punto!" he said. (On the stroke of midnight!) By that time, the departing crowd had jostled me out the door, and he had returned to his friends.

I looked at the card. It was the address of a tablao, or authentic Flamenco club, in Old Madrid.

The capital observed the classic siesta of Spanish lore. Most businesses closed down in the afternoon, when it was time to take a nap or cruise around and pick up someone to "love." I used to go to an American-style diner on the Gran Vía, called the "California," during the siesta and suck on a thick, California-style milk shake and check out the Spaniards who cruised in looking for an American lay. I lived then at a hotel across the street, so I spent many a siesta learning about Spanish gay culture from the crotch up.

What the siesta did, in effect, was to divide each day into two parts because there was a morning schedule separated by a nap time from an evening schedule, when the stores opened again, and restaurants opened for dinner about nine, and theater performances began at 11, etc., and the bars were jammed till 4 a.m. I loved it. It slowed down time, sort of doubling your life. I have always liked living in countries which honor the siesta, and there are many. It trimmed the killer pace of American life for Americans like me and made us appreciate other, more civilized dimensions of time.

I did not know what to expect, but at midnight "en punto" (on the dot) I arrived at the tablao and found it to be very simple, with informal chairs and small tables arranged in an intimate grouping. I sat alone near the barely elevated stage backdropped by a scrim painted to suggest a Gypsy encampment with a fire blazing at its center. A beautiful, black-haired woman classically coiffed with a chignon gathered at her nape danced in harmony with the tapping and clapping and high-pitched, emotional singing traditional to Flamenco, while she clicked the castanets she held gracefully in her fingers.

Flamenco is a native art form rather than merely an entertainment, which has its origins in many sources but is a distillation of them all. The "Canto" (song), and "Baile" (dance) and "Guitarra" (guitar) are its elements, blended from Andalusian, Gypsy and Moorish influences during hundreds of years of Spanish history.

Flamenco is so sensual that to be caught up in its mood can be a sexual experience. I looked around. Several of the men, many of them silverfoxes steeped in this ancient tradition, swayed in rhythm to the music, some of them with eyes glazed, hinting at inner forces isolating them from everything except the image of the woman and the haunting songs that swayed her body in dance.

She danced off the stage, and in her place appeared the pencil-slim figure of the man from the cafe that afternoon. I was not surprised because his was the form of a classic Flamenco performer, but I was stunned by his beauty now, as I had not been before, because in his black felt hat, black, figure-hugging, lightly spangled suit and snowy white shirt peeking out at the collar, and his narrow, black boots, he presented a dark vision of pure, unadulterated sex.

He was not so young as I had thought, seeing him now under the spotlight of the stage. There were deep crow's-feet edging his eyes and, with his face set in the ecstatic, proud, tight-jawed grimace of a serious Flamenco dancer, there was also an element of maturity unnoticed when he had smiled broadly among the crowd of young admirers in the cafe. I realized that he might have been in his fifties.

That big sausage hanging down his leg was still there, though, a real splitter. His dancing was regal, yet sexy. His feet pounded the stage floor in syncopated clacks. His lifted palms slapped together sharply, like stinging commands. His self-assurance was almost tangible. A sense of power emanated from him as he moved in studied cadence in circles around the stage.

I had read that "You have not listened to authentic Flamenco if not in a juerga with a small group of friends, at midnight somewhere in the South of Spain, when there is nothing around but the voice, the guitar and the body of a dancer moving in the moonlight."

This was the essence he projected. He captured us all. I glanced at others. Women in the audience bit their lower lips in sexual tension. One girl had her hand on her boyfriend's crotch in the semi-darkness, while he had an arm draped around the back of her chair with his legs spread apart at the knees. His jacket, spread over his lap, covered the action I perceived. I glanced at his face from time to time. His eyes were always closed. Hers were always on the dancer, her nostrils flared with the excitement the performance engendered -- both her performance on her boyfriend's cock and the man's dancing onstage. The young man flinched when he came and inadvertently let out a cry of ecstasy. Massively embarrassed, he got up with his jacket covering his dick and hustled his girlfriend out the door. Her gaze lingered on the dancer as she was pushed outside. I knew where her fantasies lay!

It was all I could do to keep from stroking myself as well, and at the climax of his dance, I thought for a flash I might have an orgasm of my own, but the number ended and saved me from wasting a three-day load in my pants.

He looked at me when he bowed to the applause, and the simmer I had detected at the cafe was clearly still there. I interpreted a slight twist of his head to mean that I should go outside and wait. I was right. Within a few minutes, he was at my side on the street.

"Vámonos," (Let's go) he said in that deep, gruff voice of his, and led me to a small car parked in an alley around the corner.

There was no talking in the car. I was grateful because I had no wish to disturb the effects of those sensual moments in the club. We drove through the darkened streets of Madrid to a relatively fashionable part of town. He parked on the street, got out and clapped his hands, a standard signal to call the neighborhood's night watchman from his rounds so that he could open the door to the apartment house where the dancer lived, in exchange for a tip.

We went inside. It was a small place, hung with posters of his performance tours, filled with Spanish antique furniture of dark wood in heavy Iberian design. Hardly speaking, he poured me a strong sherry and retired to the bathroom. I heard him humming a Flamenco tune in the shower and almost joined him, but I did not. I had bathed before I went to the club, on the off chance that the evening would come to something like this.

He came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. I noticed he had a bit of a pot belly which had been artfully concealed by his clothes. The suggestion of age was more apparent in his naked body, but his slimness -- de rigueur for a Spanish dancer -- allowed for no sags. I waited for the unveiling of the great piece between his legs, but the sly fellow sat beside me on the sofa at a distance and joined me in a drink.

He told me something of his early life, telling me of minor exploits on the losing side in the Spanish Civil War. He said that he came from a village not far from the one where the gay poet and playwright, Federico Garcia-Lorca, had been shot. I had just seen a play in Madrid by Garcia-Lorca, called "Yerma," and quoted some lines. He was a fan as well, and launched into a stirring rendition of a Garcia-Lorca poem about the death of a torero "a las cinco de la tarde" (at five o'clock in the afternoon).

At that point in my life, I was a devotee of Vascongado pronunciation, an elegant form of Spanish. When he murmured, "Ah las theenko de lah tarde," in that almost gravelly voice, I got a cock stand that was so obvious he could not help but notice. I guessed it was the ice-breaker he had been looking for. He reached over and grasped it. I damn near swooned at the touch of his fingers.

Now, I thought in a rush of savage heat, it's my turn!

I reached for the towel covering the object of my desire, but before my fingers could come into contact with his hidden dick, he grabbed my wrist and held my hand away -- not roughly, but in a distinctly determined manner. "Todavia no," he said. (Not yet).

It was obvious, however, that our time had come. He kept hold of my wrist, pulled me up from the sofa and led me into the bedroom, small and dark and absolutely filled with bed! He closed the door behind him, I could hardly see a thing. He pushed me down on to the bed and stripped away my clothes with precise movements.

Then, in the dark, he knelt over me to sniff my body from head to toe. What he smelled must have pleased him because his mouth retraced the route of his nose. Every inch of me except for my cock and balls-- between my toes, the crack in my ass, my armpits, inside my ears and nose, fell victim to his moist and silky tongue.

I was beside myself with passion by then and arched upward in a vain struggle to press against him, but he was lithe and strong and anchored me with his hands and his knees. Through it all, I never saw or felt his dick.

Having thus aroused himself, I supposed, he seemed ready for something else. He straddled my belly, facing me. I could feel that he still wore the towel. He leaned over me in the darkness, fidgeting with objects on the bedside table.

A scratching sound, a sulphurous smell, and I realized he had struck a kitchen match to light a large candle which sputtered, then flared, then settled into a soft, golden glow which probed the dark corners of the small room.

The walls were hung with a collection of elegantly finished Spanish guitars of obvious value. A low table along a wall displayed silver-framed photographs of my dancer with famed Spanish personalities in the arts.

He was looking down at me from his perch across my middle, his hands on his knees, his ass pressed against my raging hard-on which I could sense had already drenched my stomach with pre-cum. He smiled. Oh, what a smile! What teeth! What a face!

In the flickering candlelight, he presented the picture of magnificent youth blending gracefully into age. I felt I was seeing him at 16 and also at 85. They were all there, all the ages of man.

It was then that his fingers unknotted the infuriating towel. What unfolded before me brought one of William Shakespeare's "dark" sonnets to mind, poems written to a man whom he adored, number 20, in which the poet says to his male beloved:

"And for a woman wert thou first created; Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting, And by addition me of thee defeated, By adding one thing to my purpose nothing. But since she prickd thee out for womens pleasure, Mine be thy love, and thy loves use their treasure."

The "one thing" added by Nature to defeat Shakespeare's purpose was, of course, his lover's penis, but that was no obstacle to me! The line came to me as "Mine be thy love, and thy love's use MY treasure."

And it WAS a treasure, that huge dick standing straight up like a king cobra and looking me in the eye. Spanish gold! But it was so big, I wondered what in hell I could do with it!

It would have killed me by strangulation had I taken it down my throat or drowned me when it came. Up my behind was out of the question. I had no wish to puncture my guts. What, then?

He left me no time for an answer. He reared up on my lap, tossed away the towel, rubbed my dick with spittle and slipped it inside him with a long, deep sigh. I could see by the blissful look on his beautiful face that I had thus made him a very happy man.

My size was no more than standard, but it found within him new depths. He churned gently and moved it around among his dark inner corners. His buns were not fleshy and I was slim in those days, so penetration was total. We were joined to the max.

He seemed in no hurry and talked little, preferring to lean down for long kisses punctuated by soft sighs of sheer pleasure. His stupendous cock knocked against me like a satin baseball bat when he bent forward. Despite the delicious sensuality, I could have lasted forever, but after 20 minutes of so, he increased the speed of his movements and sat upright to pump his joint with his hands.

He also needed mine. I obliged with an overhand movement from the base to the middle. His left hand grasped the top of the shaft, his right cupped the foreskin-covered head and squeezed it in rapid, pinching motions. My perception was that getting that thing to cum was a highly developed art.

As pleasure overtook him, he threw his head back and closed his eyes, his hips grinding down on me till I felt his asshole had swallowed me whole. Tight and rhythmical, it clutched my cock like a fist. Together, we meanwhile pumped his prick until I could actually feel his cum canal swelling as the juices rose through it to unload.

I lost control. The sensations were too exquisite to bear. I flung my hands to the sheet and tore at the fabric with clenched fingers, unable to contain any longer the semen boiling up out of my balls. I grunted in heaves, watching him go wild with jerking himself to the end.

At the instant of orgasm, he lifted himself off me. My cum shot far above his ass in jerky shots that sprayed my huge load over the top of his head as we discovered later when we found his hair matted with my cum.

He leaned far forward, crawling up my chest. I instinctively lifted my head. Lips parted (in those blissful days before AIDS), I took his volley full in the mouth from a considerable distance away. I came to my senses a few seconds later with his cum dribbling down my jaws and cheeks, some even in my nose, and the taste of it like rich custard as I licked it from my palette.

He rolled away panting, gasping for air. We fell asleep immediately after that and slept most of the following day.

I saw his performance several times after that, and we usually had sex afterward. He introduced me to a few friends, and we once watched three of them have an orgy together while I tried to take him up my ass. It was impossible, actually being so funny we fell apart in laughter as did his friends when they saw what was going on.

One of them swore he could handle the dancer's big cock, but the dancer was not interested in him and told me later that he needed a stiff dick up his ass to make that thing cum. As a youngster, he had masturbated while sitting on the handle of a broom and thought perhaps he had formed a pattern which he could never break.

Our pursuant sexual adventures were wonderful, but none equaled that first time. I am sure they could have, but we only entwined our bodies, not our hearts. That, to me, is the difference between having good sex and making great love.

The first feeds the senses. The second feeds the soul.

Hi All

As all the Foxhunters know, it's very hard to find artworks featuring mature men.

I saw copies of the picture artwork in a conference center here in London and would like to find out who did the originals, since they wanted $750 for a copy!

Does anyone recognize the artist? Follow this link for images.
