Yes, there are words — compound nouns — specifically for this meaning, but unless you’re into gay porn, you might not be familiar with man pussy, boy pussy, man cunt, boy cunt, man hole, or boy hole. These are terms strongly associated with gay porn (fiction, scripts of videos, and descriptions of videos) but not much used by gay men in everyday life; they are part of a specialized porn register, akin to the specialized registers in some other domains, for instance, restaurant menus (with vocabulary items like the adjective tasty that rarely occur outside the menu context).

‘male anus viewed as a sexual organ’
July 26, 2013Benedictine and its kin
July 26, 2013No, not Benedictine the liqueur, Benedictine the dip / spread. From NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday on 7/13/13, “A Summery Spread That’s As Cool As A Cucumber” by Erica Peterson:
Cream cheese, cucumber juice and a touch of onion. That may sound like an unlikely combination, but Benedictine is a Kentucky favorite, and Gwynne Potts, a self-proclaimed aficionado, says it’s delicious.
“The best thing to eat Benedictine on is just white bread,” Potts says. “No special bread; it only takes away from the Benedictine.”
Potts, who grew up in Louisville, Ky., has been enjoying the creamy combo for six decades.

The name game
July 25, 2013In the wake of the latest Anthony Weiner revelations, Slate (on 7/23) created a generator of sexting pseudonyms:
The Carlos Danger Name Generator: Use our widget to get a name like Anthony Weiner’s alleged sexting pseudonym.
… One of the specific claims in the Dirty’s reports is that Weiner used a Yahoo account with the pseudonym “Carlos Danger” to email photos of his penis — a fact that Weiner has not confirmed or denied.
Want a fantastic online sobriquet like Carlos Danger? You’re in luck. Type your first and last names into the fields below and click “Get My Name” to find your personal pseudonym.
The generator is pretty simple-minded. It would have to be: unlike common schemes for generating porn names (which use personal information about you), this one goes on nothing more than your first and last names. And it uses “Carlos Danger” as a very direct model.

Being someone else

Brief mention: “You onion-peel so slowly”
July 24, 2013Said by character Dani Santino to character Nico Careles in the episode “V3 for Vendetta” (7/17/13) of the cable tv series Necessary Roughness. Taking the two-part back-formation to onion-peel into new, figurative, territory.
The fourth wall
July 24, 2013Passed on by Emily Menon Bender, the Non Sequitur strip of 7/21/13:
The apologies are to Mark Tatulli, the creator of Liō (that’s Liō on the left, on the other side of the wall) and Stephan Pastis, the creator of Pearls Before Swine (that’s cartoon Pastis and the Pearls characters Rat and Pig on the right). Meanwhile, inside the wall we have Danae and her pet Clydesdale Lucy.
Asterixions
July 24, 2013On AZBlogX, a set of 19 Asterixions: Asterix stickers on captioned male photography (with snarky, silly, sexy, or poignant captions added by me) — 12 photos by Howard Roffman, 4 by Benno Thoma, 3 by Michael Reh. This posting continues the series of five sets of cattions (with B. Kliban cat stickers).
A few of the images show full-frontal nudity, but most do not. There’s some linguistic interest in the representation of sounds in Asterix (in French and English).
(Thanks to Max Vasilatos for the photograph postcards and to Elizabeth Daingerfield Zwicky for the stickers.)

Let’s go relax
In the steam room,
Get back and hang with all the bros
Full of dude, bro, etc., plus towel play and four-part harmony.
