TAMPA & ST. PETERSBURG

Although Tampa and St. Petersburg (St. Pete) are only separated by a 5 mile bridge over Tampa Bay, they could not be more different. On the Gulf of Mexico side is St. Petersburg/Clearwater. Life seems to be slower here on this side of the bridge. This is where most of the beaches are....and everything just seems more laid-back in St. Pete. When visiting the St. Pete/Clearwater area, I usually stay close to the St. Pete/Clearwater airport. There are a ton of hotels here and restaurants everywhere. The other benefit to this area is that it is convenient to both St. Pete, Clearwater, and to the bridge back to Tampa. The airport in this area is small, so unless you are flying in on Allegiant Air, you will probably touch down at Tampa/St. Petersburg International Airport on the other side of the bridge in Tampa.

When I am in St. Pete/Clearwater, I usually alternate between 2 gyms. The first gym I went to is the LA Fitness in Clearwater. Although the equipment is very new and nice, it is not what I would call the eye-candy gym. But...if you want a great workout and want great equipment....this is definitely a great option. The second gym I tried is the Gold's Gym on 38th Avenue in St. Petersburg. I was told this was the "gay" gym....but I found that to be far from the truth. In fact, I do not think I saw one gay boy at the gym the times I went there. The one thing I did find: HOT straight muscle boys. If you are looking for eye-candy and like hot straight guys, then this is the gym for you!!!

Now for the other side of the bridge. Tampa is more of the fast-paced city that you would expect from a large metro area. I usually stay in the Westshore area of Tampa. I prefer this area because it is close to the International Airport, a lot of nice hotels, 2 major malls, and a lot of restaurants. Whenever possible, I like to stay at the Renaissance Hotel at International Plaza. This is not only a very nice mall; but the hotel is just steps away from a ton of great dining (and fast food) options as well. Even when I do not stay at the mall, I always stay close by so I can take advantage of the dining options at the mall.

If you decide to workout in Tampa, you may be on your own. I always workout at the Gold's Gym in Tampa just because it is easy and convenient. This gym is what I would consider adequate. It is not fancy and is pretty basic. It is never really packed either. There are a few hot straight guys that work out there, but I would not go out of my way to go to this gym. I was told there is a "gay" gym closer to downtown Tampa...but....considering my experience with gay gyms in St. Pete, I was apprehensive to drive across town to try another gym. The one gym I would tell you to definitely avoid is the Bally Total Fitness just north of the airport. This gym is a DUMP!!!! All I can say is STAY AWAY!!!

If you are looking for nightlife, Ybor City is the area to go. On a previous trip, I was taken to a gay nightclub in Ybor City and has a BLAST!!!

One day I will have to go to Tampa/St. Pete with a local and maybe I can find the right places to go, see, and do. Although I have been to Tampa many times now, I just have not seem to be able to get the groove that excites me about a city.

JAKE WOODS

After watching the big game on television, Jake’s buddies dare him to show them what he’s got. Always eager to please, the sexy, spiky-haired Jake quickly strips down to his tight boxer briefs and works out his great cock. Turning around to give his buds a better view of his sexy ass and tight hole, Jake starts stroking one out. He groans as his pace quickens, grinding his thick shaft, his low-hangers pulsing from the satisfaction. Lying back on the couch, the solo stud’s pace quickens as he fucks his hand. Jake savors a sampling of his spunk as he drenches his chest and stomach with his hot juice. Quite a mouthwatering solo show.

KANSAS CITY

The city of fountains, Kansas City has more fountains than any city in the world except Rome, Italy. The beauty of Kansas City was something I never expected when I ventured there for the first time. Instead of city streets running throughout the city, there are wide boulevards with parks and fountains running down the middle of the streets.

One of the main areas of Kansas City is Country Club Plaza. Country Club Plaza was built in the 1920's as the nations first suburban shopping district. It is built in the Spanish architectural style and the plaza area is filled with fountains, sculptures, and murals (the picture above is one of the fountains in the plaza). When I visit Kansas City, this is the area I prefer to stay. In addition to great shopping and restaurants, the plaza area is filled with a ton of hotels. Basically everything you need is within walking distance of your hotel.

Kansas City is known for its barbecue. Some of the best BBQ in the country can be found in Kansas City. This last trip I went to Gates BBQ. The BBQ here is amazing! I cleaned my plate and was stuffed for the rest of the night!!!

If you are looking for a great gym, then the 24-Hour Fitness on Ward Parkway is the ticket. Not only is it a nice gym....but it is packed with HOT HOT hotties!!! It is a mixture of straight and gay guys....and well worth the drive. In fact, it can be difficult to concentrate on your workout with all of the hot guys around you.

Last time I visited Kansas City, I hung out with porn star hottie Scott Campbell. He is one of a few porn stars that call Kansas City home.

If you ever get the opportunity to visit Kansas City, it is definitely worth the trip. You will be surprised at what you see there....I definitely was.

ETHAN STORM & BRIAN TAYLOR

"After meeting at a party, Ethan Storm comes back to Brian Taylor’s house for a little one-on-one action…

Brian and Ethan kiss passionately and soon Ethan is peeling off Brian’s shirt and worshipping his tight body, licking his chest and swallowing his thick cock. Brian returns the favor, releasing Ethan’s rigid pole from his shorts to suck the head and lick the shaft. Ethan fucks Brian’s warm mouth and strokes his hard dick as the pair move into a scorching 69, slobbing each other’s throbbing meat. After Ethan is primed from the sucking, Brian positions him over the arm of the couch and fills his waiting ass. Ethan strokes his cock and begs for a solid pounding, prompting Brian to pump harder. Ethan flips over so Brian can ride him from behind and receives an intense ass hammering. The nimble pair flips again, this time with Ethan riding Brian’s pulsating cock, his dick slapping Ethan’s stomach. The pair finish off their fuckfest with a hot jack and cum explosion. Would certainly like to meet these guys at a party."

SAINT LOUIS

Growing up in a small town in southern Illinois, my ex-boyfriend used to refer to St.Louis as the "big city". He would fondly tell me of his overnight trips to the bars (and bathhouse) in St.Louis. Since there was not much going on in his small town, trips to STL were very exciting.

What I found was a city in transition. At one point, the city was filled with industry. Since a lot of that industry has left the city, there are a lot of cool loft-style building that are abandoned and boarded up. In the downtown area, a number of these old brick buildings have been converted into some really cool structures. One of my trips to STL I stayed at the Westin Hotel downtown. The Westin is in one of those old converted warehouses...and what they were able to accomplish was simple amazing. It was reuse at its best! Unfortunately, there are still a lot of abandoned buildings throughout the city that have not yet received the same attention.

Although I have stayed downtown in the past, I prefer to stay in the Galleria area of St.Louis. In addition to a very nice mall, there are also a ton of great hotel and restaurant options in this part town. Also....unlike downtown....parking is easy!

In the Galleria area, there are 2 notable gyms. The first is the Bally Total Fitness in Clayton. If you want a basic gym, this is not terrible (but it is not great either). I stopped going there a few years ago because the gym was in major need of a renovation. It is entirely possible that the Bally's has been renovated....but highly unlikely (considering the financial condition of the entire chain).

My gym of preference in STL is the 24-Hour Fitness in Kirkwood. It is about a 5-10 min drive from the Galleria. Although it is not one of the larger 24-Hour Fitness gyms, it has everything you need. Also, the gym is very clean. The guys at this gym are totally straight....but HOT!!! If you like a gym with hot straight jocks, then this is your gym!!!!

St.Louis is also the hometown of a bunch of porn stars. Scottie Brooks and Raging Stallion Exclusives Ryan Raz and Austin Wilde are some of the porn stars that are originally from St.Louis.

No visit to St.Louis is complete without a visit to the Gateway Arch (see the picture above). The Arch towers over the downtown skyline and is visible for miles around. Underground (below the arch) is a visitors museum where you can watch a movie showing the construction of the arch. Having a degree in Civil Engineering, building projects like this fascinate and excite me. Although most people might find it a tad boring, I was glued to my seat during the video presentation of the building of the arch. You can also take a elevator (it looks more like an amusement park ride) to the top of the arch. There you can look out over the city. It is definitely one amazing monument!

JONNY ROSS

"Jonny Ross gets so turned on chatting online that he has to take matters into his own hands…

Jonny wastes no time with chat room chitchat as he strips his shirt off, sharing his worked-out body with his online pal and then drops his pants, revealing his sexy, solid legs. Sliding out of his underwear, Jonny unleashes his massive meat and gets down to some rigid stroking. Switching positions to get a better hold on his cock, Jonny reveals a tight bubble butt. Jonny’s hand strokes slowly and eagerly up and down his shaft as he grows more and more excited, blowing his load for his appreciative online audience. A great way to spend a horny solo afternoon online."

AUSTIN

For anyone that has never been to Austin....all I can say is one thing....GO!!! Austin is definitely worth the trip. Although the state of Texas is definitely conservative, the city of Austin is a very liberal place. This may be due to the presence of the University of Texas (one of the largest universities in the country)....or possibly due to the large number of high-tech companies with offices or headquarters in Austin. Whatever it is due to, Austin is very liberal and very gay friendly (and very gay as well for that matter).

Austin is in the hill country of Texas. The city itself is built around the UT campus with a downtown right on the Colorado River. Right in the heart of downtown is 6th Street. Although the gay bars are spread out throughout the downtown area, 6th Street is almost like a mini Bourbon Street with a ton of straight bars and hangouts. The music scene is huge in Austin with live bands playing at the local bars all the time. There are also a lot of cool places to eat downtown as well....especially around 6th Street.

Right between downtown and the UT campus is the state capitol building. The capitol building in Austin is architecturally impressive and worth seeing. Just beyond the capitol is the UT campus (and lots of fratboy hotties!).

If you find yourself wanting to workout, the best gym I have found is the 24-Hour Fitness at Hancock Center. Being close to the UT campus, a lot of students work out here. The facility is nice, but the eye candy is even better! Since this gym is a Lance Armstrong Sports Club, the gym is filled with Lance Armstrong related stuff everywhere (including bikes he rode, jerseys he wore, and awards he won). It is actually pretty cool. They even have a see-thru locker for him in the guys locker room with all of his workout clothes inside.

If you want to get away and relax, definitely take a trip to Lake Travis. The drive alone to Lake Travis through the hill country is beautiful. High above Lake Travis is the Oasis Restaurant. With stunning views of the lake, the sunset on the huge outdoor deck is something not to miss. If you are in a more daring mood, head down the hill to the public lake area known as Hippie Hollow. Hippie Hollow is a clothing-optional public area of the lake. Since the lake itself was formed by a dam, the shores of the lake are basically the sides of what used to be large hills. So if you are looking for a traditional beach, you are in the wrong place. It is basically paved paths on the side of the hill. You can walk down from the paths to get some sun on the large boulders that line in the lake. It is an experience though, and one worth going to. The picture above is of the sign that is posted at the entrance to Hippie Hollow. I have always thought it is ironic that one of the most conservative states has a nude swimming hole. But then Austin is not like the rest of Texas.

JASON PITT & TYLER FOX

"Ever the critic, Jason has nothing nice to say about Tyler’s art project and ends up as a painting of his own. So turned on by the shirtless Jason, Tyler strips down and the two studs make some fine art of their own. Jason sucks Tyler’s rigid cock and is repaid with a deep-throat. Primed and ready, Jason slides his throbbing meat into Tyler’s furry and accommodating hole and gives him a stiff pounding. Jason switches position so Tyler can mount his dick and ride him long and hard and then tops him on the floor. The guys moan and pant as Jason picks up the pace and Tyler blows his load across his taut, hairy chest and gets a taste of his own jizz. But that’s just a taste of what Tyler gets when Jason sprays his good-looking face and fills his mouth with hot spunk, which Tyler greedily swallows. With inspiration like this, we bet Tyler’s final art project is going to be A-plus."

HOUSTON

For those of you that have never been to Houston, it is one hell of a spread out city. The car definitely rules in Houston. Houston is also home to most of the major oil companies as well; so the automobile is king here (and traffic is bad too!).

When I am in Houston, I stay at (or close to) the Galleria. The Galleria Shopping Center is one of the largest malls in the country. You can find just about anything here. There is also a cool ice skating rink in the middle of the food court; so there is plenty to watch as you eat. The Galleria area is one of the Houston business districts; so there are a ton of hotels next to the mall (and some in the mall as well). I prefer staying in this area because you can get everything you want within a few blocks of the mall.

If you are looking for gyms, I have found 2 great options in Houston. There is a very nice (and new) 24-Hour Fitness on Richmond Ave (just a few blocks from the mall) that just opened recently. The facility is very nice and one of the best gyms I have found in the Galleria area. If you are willing to drive, there is a heavily-gay gym located across in the Montrose/Midtown area. This 24-Hour Fitness Super-Sport is not only very nice....but filled with gay-boy eye candy during the 5pm-7pm prime time hour.

If you are wanting to go out in the city, most of the gay bars are located in and around the Montrose section of Houston. There is also a very nice bathhouse (Club Houston) located between Montrose and downtown. The bathhouse has a nice relaxing outdoor clothing-optional pool that helps you escape from the south Texas summer heat. Although I did not make it to Club Houston this trip, I was able to visit the club a while back with a few friends that were also visiting the city. It was a relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Also, as a bonus, it has a pretty nice gym as well.

Houston is also close to the Johnson Space Center. The space shuttle control center for orbiting spacecraft is located in Houston. That is where the picture above comes in. This is a piece of art in the middle of the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (the main airport in Houston). It is a statue of a cow in astronaut gear with the words "Houston, we have landed" at the base of the statue. It is one of the first things you see when you land in Houston....and I thought it was pretty cool.

JASON PITT

"Coming home from a solid workout at the gym, Jason Pitts has a little alone time in the bath…

Jason drops his towel and lowers his steamy body into his warm bath, lathering himself up sensuously and setting into stroking his nice manmeat. Delectable Jason soon gets so turned on from the stroking that he changes position to get a better grip on his rock hard cock and begins to finger his tight, soapy ass. Rising to the occasion, Jason stands and strokes his dick, his hard body covered in bubbles. He caresses himself and fingers his voracious hole, at the same time stroking faster and faster. Striking a pose in his mirror, he beats off to ball-tightening jizz explosion. Never thought bath time could be this stimulating."

ASHEVILLE

I have been traveling around the world continuously for the last 4 years now, and at this point most cities do not excite me. Been there, done that for the most part. Since this was my first trip to Asheville, North Carolina, I was looking forward to something new. Living in Atlanta, I had heard a lot about Asheville, but I had never considered going there. I had my opportunity a few weeks ago.

Asheville is a small city in the middle of the mountains (see the picture above). It reminded me of a quaint college town. The big difference was that (at least at this point), Asheville is mostly mom-and-pop stores. Although I heard rumors that some major chains were trying to come to Asheville (Urban Outfitters, Apple Store, etc), none had made it there yet. I have a feeling local opposition is strong to keep these stores out of town.

Driving through downtown was not what I expected at all. It kinda felt like a hippie-town. All sorts of "earthy" stores and a very eclectic mix of people walking around. For such a small town, there seems to be a lot of gay and lesbians as well. It is definitely not what you would expect from a small mountain town in North Carolina.

The scenery in Asheville is amazing. Everywhere you look you see hills and mountains. When I was there the leaves were changing color, and it was absolutely beautiful. Asheville is best known for the Biltmore House. The Biltmore House is the largest house in America and is only a few miles from downtown Asheville. Unfortunately, I did not have time to take the tour of the house; but I was told by everyone that is is truly amazing. If you do decide to visit the Biltmore House, you need to spend at least 4-6 hours to see it all. It is that big!

When I was in Asheville, I stayed downtown. This was very convenient and made walking around the city easier. The downtown area is very walkable. For those of you big-city types, it is similar to the Castro in San Francisco.

In the city itself there are not a lot of gym options. I worked out at the YMCA downtown. I had to sweet-talk my way in....since the YMCA downtown does not sell day-passes. I was told a few of the hotels are negotiating deals with the YMCA, but that had not happened when I was there. As far as the actual gym itself, I would call it adequate, but nothing to write home about. It is basically like a large hotel gym (and if you travel a lot, you know that hotel gyms are not that great).

I was told that Rush Fitness on Hendersonville Road is a good gym with great equipment, but I was not able to independently verify that. Since the YMCA downtown is not that great, you may want to try Rush Fitness.

If you decide to go to Asheville, I would recommend going with a date/boyfriend. It definitely seemed like a great city to get-away and relax with someone special. I would highly recommend Asheville....it met and surpassed all of my expectations!

JASON SPARKS & JAKE WOODS

"The hot pair begin on the couch, kissing deeply and exploring each other’s hard, scorching bodies. Jason helps Jake out of his tight jeans and swallows his long, engorged cock for a hot oral session and nut licking as Jake moans lustily. Jake reciprocates, taking Jason’s impressive tool in his mouth and stroking his own ramrod cock as Jason fucks his eager mouth. The sexy pair move to the couch for a fervent 69 session, panting from the pleasure. They change positions again, so Jason can take his buddy’s cock in his sweet ass. The couple really gives the couch a workout as they switch again, with Jason riding Jake’s dick then on his back, giving Jake a perfect view of his hot body. Jason has a ball-busting climax as Jake fucks him and the enthusiastic top joins him in his explosion, spraying a hot load across Jason’s chest. Bet this hot pair agree to house-sit again very soon.
They both were getting into it, it was hard to direct them into the next action. So I let them keep going.
Eventually pushing his hard cock in as deep as he could get it. You can tell Jason is getting off on taking Jake's cock."
