Exploring Limits by Nicki Bennett & Ariel Tachna

Exploring Limits is a sexy ménages romp between three very different men who find in each other the perfect chemistry. For once it’s prim and proper England who debauches friendly America.

Jonathan is the new American actor who will play the role of King Arthur in a tv fiction about Camelot; Jonathan is a mid thirty good fellow, friendly and nice. From the first day he tightened a friendship with Devon, the same age English actor who is playing Lancelot. Their friendship is the classical beer and chat bond, both men with the same experience and attitude in life. Or almost. Since in one thing Devon is different from Jonathan, he likes men and he has never had a problem to indulge in his desire; on the contrary Jonathan has never had the courage to follow his desires, first probably for his young age and later since he said to himself that he would have not been a good example for his son. But now Jonathan is far from home and in a set where almost all the actors are handsome men, and looking but not touching is a torture.

Without a third party, probably Devon and Jonathan’s relationship would have been only friendship, but young Kit, who plays the role of chaste Percival (and he is chaste only on stage) has other idea. He wants Jonathan, but he understands that Devon is a formidable opponent, and instead of challenge him for Jonathan, he decides to draw a pact of alliance: both of them to the conquest of their king.

Probably, in this case, a ménages is the only solution: Kit and Devon alone without Jonathan are not a likely couple, Kit is too vanilla for Devon, and probably Devon can be interested in Kit for a funny temporary romp, but he is too young for Devon. Devon needs someone more similar too him for a steady relationship, someone like Jonathan. At the same time Kit and Jonathan alone without Devon are too “young”, Kit for age, Jonathan for experience, to last; they need the experience of Devon to lead them from one night stand to relationship. Maybe Jonathan and Devon alone have some more change, but in the end, probably they would be bored, Kit gives them that spicy more to last.

After the initial seduction of Jonathan, the story more or less is a continuous learning session on the joy of sex, and so, reader, sit comfortably, and enjoy the ride; there will be no angst, only light and funny entertainment. The only bump the realization that, even if more experience than Jonathan in Manlove, Kit, after all, is really the youngster to be cherished and cuddled, more than roughhoused.

Gay Commercial: Durex

From the collaboration betwen Humo magazine and Durex condom in Belgium, were born many commercials, both in video than print.

The first ad is for Durex only, and is really funny, made me wonder if the dogs are all males. At first, I thought the pink one was a female, even if the 69 made me wonder... but the final daisy chain? LOL

The second spot is not strictly "gay", and I have to say that the knowing smile of the woman is really beautiful. This humorous ad shows a scholarly looking woman at a cafe who is besieged by a bee repeatedly hitting her mouth.

At the end of the ad, a young man seated at another table is also attacked in his mouth by the fly, indicating that he, too, had a fruit flavored condom in his mouth. It is a charming, inclusive ad, though it may not be as memorable for the magazine as for the condoms it is accompanied by.

Year: 2002
Target: Mainstream

The commercial focuses on a special giveaway item for Belgian Humo magazine -- fruit flavored condoms.

Humo magazine gave away free Durex condoms in its issues and decided to do some special print ad about it. The following print ads were created by Mortier Brigade, a company whose motto is "confuse and conquer." I wondered if posting them, at first I didn't like them so much, but then I looked a second time, and truth be told the crocodile is really good, the bull is good, I'm still wondering on the eagle and the beaver...

After Arsenic and Rio by D.J. Manly

After some year of Purgatory, D.J. Manly decided to condone Marshall and give him his happily ever after… but not too soon.

In Arsenic and Rio, Marshall tried to poison Angelo, the man he said to love. True, Marshall was a young troubled boy and he was deceived by Hal, but still Marshall really tried to kill Angelo and so it’s quite right that Angelo, at the end of that book, even if still in love with Marshall, is not able to completely forgive him. And probably the author thought that Marshall had to grow, he has to find the strength to have an independent life and then he will be allowed to love again Angelo.

At the end of the previous book, Marshall and Angelo are too far away from each other, on many levels. Angelo is way to rich and emotional stable than Marshall; Marshall has never had a normal life, and if Angelo forgives him too soon, Marshall will simply shift for an emotional dependence, to Hal, to another, to Angelo; and maybe Angelo is not yet convinced that Marshall is really sorry for what he did.

After Arsenic and Rio begins 3 years after the last meeting between Angelo and Marshall. Marshall is now a business owner, he has a new life, and also a new partner. If people think Marshall having a partner is a betrayal to Angelo, I think instead it’s a way to prove that he tried to go on with his life. Obviously he is not happy, and he is still mourning the loss of Angelo. Marshall grew up and now he is righter for Angelo than before. On the other hand Angelo dirtied himself a bit: he didn’t cope well with his bad experience, he became an alcoholic, and is not able to have a stable relationship.

For how strange it sounds, I like that both men had other relationships in between the stories: it’s a way for them to understand who they really love and so, when they meet again, and the love is still strong, to the reader their sudden rapprochement doesn’t ring wrong. They had the chance to understand what they lost and now they are ready to fight for having it again.

To the reader who, like me, poured tears on Marshall and Angelo unhappily ever after ending, After Arsenic and Rio is a must read. True, you will pour some tears again, I did for Duncan, a character who I hoped, vainly, to see happy, but he was probably a too complicated story.
