Gay Life is Happening in Turku


The port city of Turku, Finland straddles the mouth of the Aura River, a two hour drive from Helsinki.  There are 187,000 people.   It is now 2:00 pm in Turku, and everyone is busy.

A blond twink with a 6" cock is taking an aroused photo of himself to send to a friend in Sweden.












Students at the Åbo Akademi University are just finishing class, and on their way to the Bar Suxes on Yliopistonkatu.  It won't be very crowded at this hour, but they will make use of the dark room.












At the Raision Lukio, the high school on Kirkkoväärtinkuj, the soccer team is practicing.  One of the players is out, and another is planning to come out soon.


















The Elixia gym near the river is crowded with mid-afternoon weight lifters, some gay, some not.
















There's a guy sitting alone in a pew at Turku Cathedral, which dates to the 13th century, Catholic before Finland became Lutheran.  I don't know if he's praying or consulting a guidebook.















A gay guy is dressing for his shift as a barrista at the  CaféArt on Läntinen Rantakatu, where there are tables out by the river in the summer.













The most popular tourist attraction in Turku is the Turku Castle, which dates from the 13th century and became a palace for Swedish nobility during the Renaissance. The museum shop is housed in the old warehouse.

There are several British tourists being led through the old dungeons by a very bored tour guide who can't wait for his shift to end so he can get to his date tonight.








Somewhere in Turku, at this moment, two boys are kissing.












Somewhere in Turku, at this moment, someone is eating a cookie naked.


















Gay life is happening in Turku.  And in Tampere.  And in Tulsa.  And in every other city you've ever visited or heard of.

How is a Pizza like a Penis?

This is a penis.  It is an organ of a male body used for urination and sex.  Many people find it quite beautiful.  Many find it erotic, particularly when aroused.














Others aren't necessarily interested in the penis, but in what it can tell them about the man it belongs to, how it signals his erotic desire.
















People often engage in "oral sex," using their mouth to manipulate the penis and bring the man to orgasm, usually swallowing his semen at the end.

Oral sex can have a utilitarian function, to express affection and establish emotional intimacy in a relationship, but most often it is recreational.

 In fact, it is probably the most common form of recreation in gay communities.









Oral sex is rarely a stand-alone activity.  It usually happens in conjunction with other recreational activities:
The dinner and a movie of a date
The conversation and games of a party
The workout and sauna of a bathhouse.







This is a slice of pizza, a dish of cheese and various meats and vegetables with tomato sauce on a thin crust.

Although it has some nutritional value, and can be used for utilitarian purposes, it typically contains 600 calories, 32 grams of fat, and 1300 mg of sodium, more than what you want for dinner.











Therefore it is most commonly consumed as a form of recreation.

Like oral sex, eating pizza is rarely a stand-alone activity.  Most commonly it accompanies other forms of recreation:
The movie and sex of a date
The conversation and sex of a party
It is often served at bathhouses on "Pizza Tuesdays."







Eating a slice of pizza and going down on a guy's penis have a lot in common:
1. They require your mouth.
2. They both end with something in your stomach.
3. They are both primarily recreational rather than utilitarian.
4. Both usually occur in conjunction with other recreational activities.
5. Usually in a group.
6. You can do both in bed.
7. It is quite likely that you will do both on the same evening.

But they have some significant differences.










Pizza is about the food instinct, centered on the sense of taste.  What the pizza feels like in your mouth is irrelevant.  Therefore a slice of pizza is never erotic, sexy, or attractive.

The penis is about erotic arousal, centered on the sense of touch.  What the penis tastes like in your mouth is irrelevant.  Therefore a penis -- and the guy it belongs to  -- is never tasty, delicious, scrumptious, mouth-watering, finger-licking good, delectable, nom-nom, or yummy.

Using the inappropriate terms, or otherwise treating food as a sex partner or a sex partner as food, is disgusting.

Never use a taste-term to describe a man or his penis.
Never lick any part of the body except the penis and testicles.
Never consume any fluid that is pooled outside his body.

 If you do, I'll kick you out of bed.  I don't care if you're Nolan Gould, and you offered to buy pizza later.

Edmund Teske's Nude Men

Edmund Teske (1911-1996) was an experimental photographer known for his montages, juxtaposing nude men with images emphasizing their eroticism, joy, contemplation, or fragility.
















In the 1940s he often photographed his lover, Richard Soakup.

















He photographed many other of his friends, fellow artists, and lovers in poses of quiet contemplation.
