A Letter From My Mailbox

I like to get lengthy emails about my blog posts from ignoramuses like Adam below, so I decided to respond to each paragraph. Sorry if my points are not very convincing, but I didn't want to give him more than 15 minutes of my time.

On Mar 18, 2008, Adam wrote re: "A response":

Michael -

With due respect to your opinions and your religion, do you suppose it's fair to cast all Muslims, and the faith as a whole, off to the dogs because of the insane and obnoxious behavior of a few? The Koran is really no worse than the Bible or Torah in its condemnation of homosexuality.

Firstly, who told you that I am a religious person? Are you calling the terrorist attacks the "insane and obnoxious behavior of a few?" The word obnoxious can only be applied to your letter, not to millions and millions of Koran-crazed lunatics, who are happy to give their lives in order to kill Westerners, in order to be able to rape virgins in the Garden of Eden. It's not just a few that terrorize humanity for the past thirty years, with their "martyrs," or I'd rather call them today's fucked up kamikazes. We're talking about millions and millions of terrorists, that are breeding and multiplying gloriously (much faster than any other religious group). We're talking about those who are dreaming to conquer the world and turn everyone to their fucked up religion, or become a slave to it, who instead of improving civilization, are doing nothing but squawking prayers five times a day with their asses up in the air. This is what I think of your "obnoxious behavior of a few."

That many Muslims would see Israel wiped off the map does not ingratiate me to Islam. But that Israel would behave the way it does in Palestine does not really ingratiate me to Israel, either.

Before saying the word Israel, you better cross yourself, as Israel is the only country in the world that is being terrorized on a daily basis, and answers with tolerance to intolerance (which is suicidal) which is surrounded by only enemies, and not on single friend as Israel is the only democracy in the region. And for this matter alone, Israel is hated by its neighbors. Islam cannot exist in democracy, as it does not tolerate a second opinion or free thinking, as it tortures and kills anyone who speaks against it. And I'm not talking about the past thirty years, I'm talking about 1400 years. Isn't that the reason why Islam never gave the world anything close to what the Western world gave to humanity in the fields of thought, science, literature, music, art, etc. For 1,600 years, Islam succeeded in only one art: the art of terror, the art of war, the art of Islamization.

I fail to see how any of these religions can claim moral superiority over any of the others. The Abrahamic religions - all three - have participated in harmful and violent wars for at least the last 2000 years in the name of God and at the expense of each other.

As a non-religious person, I don't have particular admiration for any religion. Yes, I am very well aware of the Crusades, which were often defensive actions against the Muslim colonization of Europe (which they continue today by means of legal and illegal immigration, and by high breeding). Yes, I do know about the ugliness of the Inquisition. But if you're talking about the Christian Church, then let me break you the news that in the last several hundred years, it changed and evolved, just like the West changed and evolved, while Islam is stuck in the medieval centuries for 1,600 years. It never evolved. It never changed. It never moved.

To me - an agnostic American, and a gay guy to boot - it all seems so silly. Two thousand years of war and strife, hundreds of millions dead, millions more set to die over what amounts to some acreage and bragging rights with God? Come now - you can't honestly believe that it's worth all the trouble.

Mr. Agnostic American, I went much further than you -- I'm not agnostic. I'm 100% atheist. I don't believe in any higher power. But I absolutely believe that you are "gay to boot." It seems to me that all you've read is The Devil Wears Prada and all you've watched only Will & Grace and Sex in the City. I'm sorry that you've never heard of Plato. Over 2,500 years ago, he said that war would always be a part of human life, since it always comes from human passions. In other words, this is something that has always existed and will always exist.

Yes, Muslims have done some horrible things in the past, and will likely continue to do so. And, yes, Islam doesn't always stand for the things you or I might stand for - but so too have Christians and Jews done terrible things, and so too do both of those religions stand for things which are not necessarily agreeable to everyone. That doesn't mean that all Muslims are bad any more than it means that all Christians or all Jews are bad.

What is it that Jews did bad for this world, except surviving genocides, programs, and Holocaust? Besides being deprived of their rights and freedoms in every country throughout history? What bad did they do except giving the world the best scientists, thinkers, philosophers, artists, writers, etc. Are you really comparing Christians and Jews to some mullahs and medieval wackos, who if not for their oil which they enslaved us with, will be back in the desert living in tents with their livestock, where they belong?

Does rhetoric like yours carry any more moral high ground than the rhetoric of those like Iran's Ahmadinijad? I'd ask you to ask yourself what you're contributing to the dialogue. Wouldn't a more germain cause be to bring people together with the understanding that we don't always have to agree in order that we may always get along? Peaceful coexistance would seem to me to be the more morally virtuous cause versus the continuation of war and pain because no one wants to give an inch - not even by simply taming the rhetoric.

"Peaceful coexistance?" You crazed pacifist, when will the likes of you finally understand that there is no way to peacefully coexist with those that want to kill you, and thus successfully killing, thanks to the masochism of idiots like you? Maybe when you finally get some knowledge?

A proposal: the Muslims stop saying that the Holocaust never happened and that Israel doesn't deserve to exist (points upon which they are wrong to a degree that disgusts me), and the Israelis start letting the Palestinians receive food, medicine, and other essential services without fear of air strikes (points upon which Israel is wrong to a degree that disgusts me). What do you say? Respectfully,
Adam

I would say that you are just another reason for homophobia of the Right, that you are an embarrassment to the gay community, that you are a victim of the extreme Left, and that you should shove your proposal up your ass (which will be easy, as this is the part of your body that you use much more than your head).

Responses to a few blog comments

Re: "My Appearance at Stanford"

Michael,

I respect and honor a lot of the work you do for our community and the world as a whole. However, I can't agree with your stance on the lack of African-Americans in porn.

Being a black male I can speak only for myself, but just like I'm sure you have better insight on the life of a pornstar I think I have a better grasp on the plight of a black male.

It really has nothing to do with homophobia. There are tons of openly gay/bisexual men of color. Your company is successfulm but there are also companies that only film men of color and they are susscessful as well so where do they find their "actors"? The men are there; the work is't. Maybe some companies methods of hiring performers is too limited.

I think the answer you gave was very safe to say the least. The reality is most producers are in the business to make money and for an industry that is dominated by white males ( a lot of whom do not engage in interracial sex simply based on preference) it is hard to convey the chemistry on flim when paired with certain on screen partners and you know as well as I do that it's chemistry you guys are going after. So while homphobia may be an issue lets not try to make it seem as though it's the biggest issue.

Again, I respect you and for the most part agree with you on most subjects but on this one. I think you gave a PC answer and didn't really get to the heart of the matter." —Rod

Dear Rod,

Thank you for your kind words.

I agree with you in part and disagree with you on the other. I do agree that there are many openly gay/bisexual men of color. I also would not argue that perhaps there are racists who don't want to work with black models.

On the other hand, you can also argue that the companies who do hire only black models have their niche... and that there is nothing surprising with some companies hiring only whites, as that is their niche.

What I know for sure is that the black community is more homophobic than the white community. That is something no one can argue with. And of course there are reasons for homophobia in the black community, in the same way there is anti-Semitism. The responsibility not only lays in the black community but also in the historically horrible treatment of African-Americans by white Americans. It's mainly that black people could not get a higher education until relatively very recently. Homophobia comes from ignorance and lack of education.

You are saying rightly that "the reality is most producers are in the business to make money." You are exactly right. Even if producers are racist, they would still hire black models if they knew that they could make money off them. I know of a lot of companies that have owners who are anti-Semitic, yet they will hire Israelis as models. I also know lots of anti-Semites who still want to sleep with me. :-)

Let me also mention to you that black models more frequently than other models ask me not to show their faces on film, which is impossible and makes me not work with them. And they ask me to not ask certain questions on camera, like where they live and work, which I then don't do.

I do hope you know as a fan that I do hire a black. Just check out "Auditions 22," my next release, which features seven black models out of nine. And in my career I've does scenes with at least 30 black models.

I will always fight and speak against racism using every platform I have. But at the same time I will not compromise myself when it comes to stating the facts.

Re: "Little Brit Behaving Badly"

"As far as [Victoria Beckham] having as many security as she had that night, she escaped a kidnapping plot in the UK which involved her children...I think after an incident of that magnitude, you'd always live your life with un easiness. Secondly, with a high profile individual such as herself, she was seen as a the guest of honor by Marc himself, otherwise no way in hell would she be let in with all of those security detail. At the same time you must also look at it as a matter of simply walking through a building without every gay and or woman of a certain age stopping you just to chat...As it were, What exactly brought you to the show, To my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong was his female line. The last time that I checked, you did not follow under this category, which in essence gives you no right to critize and or call a WOMAN names for simply being invited and attending the show." —Daniel

Dear Daniel,

You must be kidding me. So apparently Mrs. Beckham escaped a kidnapping plot... Well, she came without children to the event. All 12 security guards were all around only her.

You are concerned about Mrs. Beckham "walking through a building without every gay and or woman of a certain age stopping just to chat"? I hope your imagination would allow you to accept the fact that there were much higher profile celebrities in the audience, like Anna Wintour (a little more desirable to talk to by the attendants of a fashion show) and famous actors and singers. All of them, including Mrs. Beckham and myself, live for the attention. We all go to those events to chat with people. In case we're not in the mood to chat, it's really easy to come to the event before it starts and leave right when it finishes, in a hat and sunglasses, incognito. Mrs. Beckham, on the other hand, came way too early and stayed for at least 40 minutes after the event was over, precisely for the purpose of being noticed, chatted with, and photographed. All her bodyguards were there to serve one purpose only: to make sure that the little lady would catch as much attention as possible.

As for your comment that I have "no right to critize and or call a WOMAN names," I recommend you to check the American Constitution. Dear sir, I have my right to criticize anyone I want, as much as I want, and that is what I intend to do.

-Michael Lucas

"I am a big fan as well & agree with a lot in your post.

I must admit you sound like you are a little jealous of all the attention she is getting (you would probably be happier if it was on you)

If you were enjoying the show, why would you even care about her whole entourage? Apart from a bodyguard bumping you - which is annoying I agree

It sounds to me like bitter grapes. You tell Chris to get a sense of humor - yet you call her "absurd" "unattractive", etc. etc.

If someone described your mother that way (she has children) - Where would your sense of humor be?

Sounds like a little bit of jealousy to me despite the fact that I agree/appreciate much of your post."—Justin

Dear Justin,

No, I was not jealous. If I had been jealous I would have brought 10 bodyguards myself. Check out my red carpet footage. I get attention perfectly well without any entourage. I call Mrs. Beckham absurd and unattractive because in my opinion she is absurd and unattractive.

As for my mother, what the hell are you talking about? I hope this comment of yours is a joke. So in your opinion, I can't criticize anyone who has children???

Open Letter to Andy Towle

Dear Andy,

I’m writing in response to your January 29th post (http://www.towleroad.com/2008/01/israeli-mk-gay.html) about homophobic remarks made by Israeli Knesset Member Nissim Ze’ev (whoever he is).

Obviously, I know you personally, consider you a friend, and know for a fact that you aren’t an anti-Semite.

Yet I have noticed that you follow a tendency among gay and other “liberal” bloggers to report a lot more bad than good news out of Israel.

The general undercurrent of violent, irrational hatred of Jewish people is such that if you only report strongly negative things about Israel to your readers, you will inevitably be fanning the flames of that bigotry.

One ignorant, religious Knesset member does not remotely damage Israel’s very good record on gay rights. I won’t even mention that when Palestinian gays are outed, and face the real danger of being stoned to death by their fellow Palestinians, they escape to Israel, not to neighboring Egypt or Jordan for refuge.

I don’t know if you’ve been to Israel; I go every year. My last trip was during the war started by Hezbollah and I’ll be returning this February 20. I entertained Israelis in gay clubs in Tel Aviv and Haifa. Let me note here, that I was doing live gay sex shows—which is not allowed anywhere in the United States—and it was reported that I was doing so in every mainstream Israeli newspaper. I personally think that Israel is much more advanced in gay rights than the much longer-established democracy that is America.

Unlike the U.S., Israel’s military doesn’t have “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” Unlike New York, Tel Aviv recognizes gay couples as family units. Couples married in Massachusetts are legally recognized everywhere in Israel, but not in, for example, Pennsylvania. Israel grants partners of foreigners residency status. Same sex partners may adopt each other’s children. Israeli insurance companies provide pension and death benefits to same sex couples. The Israeli Attorney General guarantees legal recognition to same sex couples in business and personal financial matters. Gay couples started being registered in Jerusalem last year.

All of that is possible, and even more progress is coming, because Israel is governed by secular laws and a judiciary, not by Torah, and not by the hateful Koran, as is the case in so many Muslim countries.

Look, yes, you reported a true fact. But then you chose at the end of this post to point out more negative points about Israel, like demonstrations of a few hundred Hassidic Jews against Pride in Jerusalem, and the alleged bomber. Maybe it would be more productive to list the good things that Israel is doing for gay people, to say what rapid progress Israel has made on gay rights, and under what difficult circumstances that progress has been achieved. Maybe that will give a more balanced picture.

Israel has achieved and maintained the tolerant society it has in spite of all manner of threat to security in daily life there. I can only imagine the tolerance of the French, Italians or even Americans if any of these countries were to have terrorist attacks, often running stretches at a time on a daily basis, and if their citizens were being slaughtered on public busses, restaurants, clubs, shopping malls and outdoor food markets. That is to say nothing of if France, Italy and/or America had rockets and missiles falling on its peoples’ heads in a supposed time of peace! Just how far could good Western tolerance be stretched? So, when talking about Israel, it is very important to acknowledge the Israelis’ patience and their incredible democratic achievements under the most difficult circumstances, gay rights included.

Remember too that when you are talking about Jerusalem, you are talking about one of the most complicated places in the world. It’s a center for three major religions. Even among the Israeli gay community, there’s a debate over whether it’s a good idea to march in the center of such a religiously concentrated place, when gay Tel Aviv is a forty minute drive away, and where gay parades attract hundreds of thousands of people every year. I’m talking about Tel Aviv with its flourishing gay culture. Gay clubs, restaurants, centers, meeting points, bookshops, gay beaches, et cetera, et cetera amen. Because all that exists, I don’t feel it’s very fair to portray Israel as homophobic because of the controversy over the gay parade in Jerusalem. The majority of Israelis respect gay rights.

Andy, most people do not have your depth of knowledge or your analytical abilities. Just check your readers’ comments. When you post mainly negative stories about Israel, such posts feed anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli sentiments that are, unfortunately, increasing in the gay communities of the U.S. and Europe. I think you should be very careful about what to report and how you report it. Don’t overestimate your readership, and don’t underestimate the historical anti-Semitism that can be set off with the tiniest spark to a fuse.

Ignorant people exist within every country’s government. In open and modern counties, their ugly and stupid comments backfire against them. There is no more chance that Nissim Ze’ev is going to become Prime Minister of Israel than there is that Senator George “Macaca” Allen will return to being Senator of Virginia.

It’s important for you to give some thought to who your readers are. Maybe you can do that by simply reading the comments they make on your posts. Please understand, I’m not comparing you to anti-Semitic sites like Queerty, where if you put the terms “Jew” or “Jewish” in the site’s search, you’ll come up with just hate and more hate towards this young and courageous country.

Best regards,

Michael Lucas

From My Mailbox

I always personally answer the emails from members of my website. Here's one recent question from a member that I've been asked a lot since immigrating to America 11 years ago, along with my response to him:

On Jan 9, 2008, at 1:51 PM, David wrote:
Hi Michael :) I think it's cool that you are Jewish and a porn star, but at the same time I think you sort of cutting yourself off from the Jewish people by being uncut. I understand that most Russian Jews aren't circumsiced, and that for you established in the porn industry you probably looking at it is as an asset, as uncut is like a big thing in America. But don't you think that if you want to be taken seriously within the Jewish community as a Jewish representative,that it is somehow wrong not only being uncut, but also emphasising that fact and celebrating it? I feel like you are a Jew with a non-Jewish body...no offence :) It's like you wanna be Jewish, but don't have a penis like one...Anyway, you're hot, just feel that you are a bit "on the other side" by having a non-Jewish looking penis...Hope you are not taking offence at this :) David

******

Dear David,

First, I would like to thank you for being a member of my site as it is a great help. Now let me tell you what I really think about your question, and I hope you will not be offended as I will talk to you from my heart.

You are an American Jew, right? I am a Jew from Russia. I experienced Anti-Semetism on my own skin for 23 years of living there. My parents and grandparents experienced it for their entire life, which was poisoned by antiquarian Russian mentality. I am talking about anti-semetism like you've never experienced, and hopefully will never experience in your life (but who knows). Are you surprised that they decided to make attempt to spare me from the injustices which circumcision will bring? So, who is more Jewish, you or me?

I go to Israel every year, either to preform or on vacation. I entertained Israelis during the Lebanon war last year. Are you this kind of rare American Jew who goes to Israel (or have even visited once?), or the one who will never step foot there out of fear to be caught in a suicide attack? The kind of Jew that did nothing useful for the state of Israel in his life but squawked prayers and learned the Torah by heart? So, then who is more Jewish, you or me?

I make monetary donations to the IDF. I take all my friends to Israel to show them the beauty of the country, as I believe it is important to promote tourism to one of the most magnificent yet underrated places in the world, and am traveling with 5 friends again at the end of this February. What have you done for the Jewish state besides chopping your penis?

As a person with a name Michael Lucas and being uncut, and after all my horrible experiences of anti-semetism brought against me and my family in the USSR, I didn't ever have to reveal my Jewishness to the word, but I chose not only to reveal myself as a Jew but also as a zionist, as you can learn from my blog and from different articles that you can read in numerous interviews I have given to publications and seminars all over the world. No one asked me about it, I always brought it up. Do you think this particular fact helped my business, or do you think that many are thinking that this Jew is making money by exploiting other porn stars and other such garbage? Do you think I am warming up the consumer hearts by pointing that I am a Jew when I could have avoided it? I go here against my financial interest. So who is more Jewish, you or me?

In your opinion, for me in order to be a "real" Jew, I would have to chop off my foreskin at the age of 35 in order to be qualified? So all what separates a Jew from a non-Jew is a piece of foreskin? Doesn't that strike you as ridiculous? I am a Jewish atheist. I don't believe in a cruel Jewish god who allowed millions upon millions of Jews to be slaughtered and massacred for thousands of years. Half of my father's and grandmother's family vanished in the Holocaust- killed in gas chambers, burned in crematoriums, experimented on as if they were guinea pigs, etc. etc. Amen! Does your American family have this same experience, or did they live in peace and prosperity learning about these nightmares from the newspapers and history classes? If so, then who is more Jewish, you or me?

I believe in and stand with Israel. I believe in the strength and genius of Jewish people in our courage and optimism, in our abilities to survive, to overcome any tragedies and to come back even stronger. I believe in our great history of sticking together and not assimilating, even in the worst times, and to always remember our heritage.

You are asking me if I want to be taken seriously among Jewish communities? When I preformed in Israel during the war, the Israeli's were kissing my hands. Every major Israeli newspaper wrote about me. So I am not worried about not being taken seriously by religious hypocrites whose only contribution to Jewish cause is beating their heads with prayer in the Catskills, growing long beards and curling their sideburns like La Dame aux Camélias. And to be frank, I don't care to be taken seriously by Jews who believe that a piece of foreskin is a measure of qualification. To be perfectly honest, I feel infuriated that I have to even go into such details when talking to a an American Jew, who I am pretty sure is less of a Jew than I am, even if your penis is cut short.

So who is more Jewish, you who is cut or me who is uncut? The conversation is open, but I have made up my mind.

Best regards,

Michael

Nauseous Clay: Number 1 Chump

Normally, my main complaint against Vanity Fair magazine is that they stuff every issue full of loose subscription cards that wind up all over the floor. Don’t the affluent editors realize that the hired help is going to have to pick up that mess? Don’t they care about the hired help? Don’t we all know the answer to that question?

Now, though,I see they have stooped to putting Muhammad Ali on the cover together with presidential hopeful Barack Obama. I think this is an Obamanation, and I’ll tell you why.

First off; boxing. It’s barbaric. Victory is gained when the opponent is either 1) too severely hurt to continue (called a “technical knock out”) or 2) knocked down and unable to get up before the ref counts to ten. You mean to tell me two guys can’t think of anything more pleasurable than that to do with their fists?

Actually, I would not be surprised if the majority of boxers are repressed gay or bisexual men taking out their frustrations in a way that, alas, some societies still find acceptable. Norway and Iceland, to their credit, do not.

Way back in 1983, the American Medical Association called for a ban on boxing. It did so because of connections between boxing injuries and permanent brain damage. Repeat the phrase in your mind, just in case it didn’t get through the first time: PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE. The American Neurological Association, American Academy of Neurology and the British, Canadian and Australian Medical Associations... none of whose members are permanently brain-damaged boxers... have also wanted to abolish the sport for medical reasons.

Is Muhammad Ali, who I think at birth was named Nauseous Clay, permanently brain damaged as a result of boxing? Let’s put it this way: His diagnosis is Pugilistic Parkinson’s Syndrome. The Pugilistic part of that means he got it from boxing.

Was permanent brain damage the reason why Nauseous Clay joined the Nation of Islam and later became a Sunni? I ask that, while admitting that it’s easy to understand why people so uncritically hail him as a great sports hero. Promoting interracial love and harmony, he once said: “No intelligent black man or black woman in his or her right black mind wants white boys and white girls coming to their homes to marry their black sons and daughters.” His first marriage ended because his wife didn’t want to conform to a Muslim dress code for women. When explaining why he refused to be drafted for the Vietnam War, Nauseous Clay said: “We are not supposed to take part in no wars unless declared by Allah or The Messenger.” He also said he would give his life for Allah but not even a toe to his very own mother, who was Christian. World renowned journalist Oriana Fallaci famously threw her dictaphone at him and walked out of their interview after he belched in her face. ("I found him unbearable," she later recalled. "He had a fascist arrogance.")

I’m taking Nauseous Clay at his word, and assuming that if he believed a war had been declared by Allah or The Messenger, he would support it. That’s why I think it’s an Obamanation that Barack Obama appeared with Nauseous on the cover of Vanity Fair. If you can excuse me now, thinking about this has made me have to go puke. Just my luck, there’ll be a copy of Vanity Fair next to the toilet when I get there to hurl.

I need your help

In the past few months I have run into about four acquaintances who have been brutally beaten recently in Chelsea, either during a mugging or for being gay. Interestingly, all of those attacks have occurred on the east side of 8th Avenue, around 22nd street, but I've also heard of other similar attacks in Chelsea and in Hell's Kitchen.

I am going to be writing a story about this in the New York Blade and interviewing people for it, including members of the New York Police Department, which has been almost completely unresponsive despite the fact that all four of the people I spoke to had filed reports.

If you or anyone you know has experienced such an attack please contact me directly at michael@lucasentertainment.com

I want you help to raise awareness of this issue, as I believe it is very important for the safety of the gay community.

You asked. I answered.

DONALD IN TORONTO: More and more your productions are including fucking hot watersports scenes, and a lot of butt play, rimming and even a fart or two (I love talking buttholes), with GREAT close up shots. Is this something that personally turns you on and can we (I hope) expect to continue seeing this action in your future productions? You are proving that sex can be hot and sexy, with a fetish scene here and there, and still be safe. Great work.

Yes, of course it turns me on. That’s one of the reasons I do it and I am very much into the ass which is why I always make them push it out. ;-) I am always listening to what people actually want to see. Members of my website are always sending me their requests, so I try to incorporate them often. In all of my latest movies I try to include watersports at least twice per film and in almost every scene that I film abroad.

-----------------------

JEFF: Any porn star (dead or alive) that you would die to "work" with?

Being the head of my company it’s easy to get pretty much anyone I want today. As for dead porn stars, I don’t have such fantasies. ;-)

-----------------------

LOUIS: You have a great body. Can you tell us about your trainer? Are you very close to him?

My trainer is an Israeli guy named Ben. He’s appeared in a couple of my films as Stephan Bertolli (photo at left) as "Restless" and "Top to Bottom." He’s a great guy and we’re good friends.

-----------------------

ASIA: My ass is still virgin and my boyfriend wants to have anal sex. Can you give me tips or what should i do in that first anal sex? Please help coz I'm really scared.

I think all you need to do is relax, use an enema, and use a lot of lube. Most of all, you should want to get fucked because if you don’t then your hole will stay tight and nothing will happen except pain. I don’t drink, but maybe a glass of wine would help you.

-----------------------

ERIC: I read that one of your heroes is Nureyev. Do you go to the ballet a lot at Lincoln Centre in NYC?

Nureyev is not my hero, though I’ve read two biographies about him and I own a very beautiful photo of him nude taken by Richard Avedon. He was a great dancer and led an interesting life, but I am not so sure that he was great human being. I once met his boyfriend once at a dance theater premiere. I do go to see ballet sometimes at Lincoln Center, but lately I’ve been going to the opera more. In fact, I am more interested in music than the visual arts these days.

-----------------------

MAGNUS: Would you consider coming to Sweden to perform some live sex-scenes? I would just love to see you do your work!

I’ve never been to Sweden and I would love to come, but I have never been invited. As soon as I receive an invitation I will be there ;-)

-----------------------

LUIS: About the hot Hungarian models, is it true they all are gay for pay? How bout the Mangiatti twins?

Yes, the majority of them consider themselves straight, including the Mangiatti twins. Let me tell you though, they are really good at having sex. I always give preference to gay models when working abroad, but very often I have to work with what’s available. When I say "straight," though, I mean they have a "straight" lifestyle, but I think they do get carried away and into the action in the heat of the moment no matter what gender the partner is.

-----------------------

CHRIS: Why do you rarely if ever come to Los Angeles with your models to promote Lucas Ent.? I am very tired of the West Coast pornstars and it would be so refreshing to see the guys you have in your movies out here in the flesh. I'm sure it is a $$ factor, but can't you cash in your air miles from all the traveling you do and bring the west coast some east coast love? p.s.-Whatever happened to Bruce Beckham and Wilson Vasquez? Still making movies?

Well, I travel to wherever I am invited, so just ask your local club to invite me and I’ll be there. Bruce Beckham is no longer my exclusive and as far as I know I don't think that he does movies anymore. Wilson Vasquez still works for me and you can see him in "Encounters 5: Burning Desire," which is available now.

-----------------------

JASON: Where is your new exclusive Christian Cruz from? Is he gay or straight?

Christian Cruz (photo at right) is Spanish and goodness gracious SO very gay. ;-) He has a great role in "The Intern."

-----------------------

SHAD: I love your fetish scenes (ws, feet, ass play, etc.). Any chance you will show piss enemas???

I promise I will get there. In fact, I will try to do it in my new Hungarian films "Cruising Budapest 4 & 5," which I am filming in June.

-----------------------

ANDREW: Do you like (or ever liked) Alla Pugacheva? What about Vladimir Vysotskiy? "Master and Margarita"? Anyone or anything from the Russian pop culture / literature at all?

"Master and Margarita" is one of my ten favorite books. So is "Ana Karenina." Vysotskiy was a good actor with an amazing personality. I think Alla Pugacheva used to have a great voice and I used to love her early songs, but her bad taste undermined her talent in the 1990’s. I cannot comment on her career today because I know nothing about it.

-----------------------

TIGHT HOLE: When you receive a fan question that starts "My ass is still virgin," what is the first thing to go through your mind?

Darling, don’t get too deep with me. I have a ton of other questions to answer.

-----------------------

DAVE: I love your daily recaps of what you did every day. You've been doing this for a week or two now, and not once have you mentioned anything about having sex. Have you just not had sex in a couple of weeks, or are you self-censoring the sex parts? Also, out of everyone you've ever had sex with on camera, who gave you the best blow job?

I hope you do not expect me to give you a full report of my life day by day... There are some things that are private and I would like to keep it that way. ;-) As for blow jobs, a lot of guys have been great, but Spencer Quest gave a very memorable one.

-----------------------

HUNGRY: Will you do another scene with Kent Larson? Will Blu Kennedy, Max Grand, Milan G, Wilfried K, Kent Larson, or Owen Hawk be on anything Lucas in the near future? Also, what are your thoughts on kissing in your films, I think its hot! more kissing please....

Kent Larson retired from porn about a year ago. My most memorable scene with him is in "Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons". It's an an extensive watersports scene in the Director’s Cut. Wilfried Knight is taking a break from porn, but I hope he will be back soon. Milan Gamiani is in my recent release "Cruising Budapest 1: Michael Lucas." I am all for good kissing as I love to kiss a lot.

-----------------------

EDDIE: Hi how do I get an autographed pic of you?

I send autographed pictures to members of my website whenever they ask for one. I also answer all of my members’ personal questions on a daily basis.

-----------------------

SAM: Can we see more of Danny B.? Also, will you be doing another "Top to Bottom" movie with maybe Ben Andrews, Ray Star and other "total" tops?

Danny Bitho (photo at left) and his boyfriend just shot an Audition with us which will be up on the website and released on DVD soon. I don't know if I'll make another "Top to Bottom," but you can see Ray Star and Ben Andrews in my new film "The Intern" which comes out in July, but is available now for pre-order.

-----------------------

JOHN: Budapest Part 1 is one amazing film. I love the hot men and the extras are a nice bonus! Please tell me when I can pre-order Budapest Part 2 and will there be a part 3? I know I am really pushing it now!!!

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I’ve already filmed "Cruising Budapest 2 & 3." I brought Ben Andrews for the second and Lucio Maverick bottoms for me for the first time in his career in part 3. Both will be available soon. I am leaving next month for Hungary to film parts 4 and 5.

-----------------------

THOMAS: Why do so many gay porn stars still choose new names? Is the day going to come when they can use their own names? You recently legally changed your name... why?

I don’t know why, probably because they all want to be President of the United States one day and they are afraid this would ruin their chances. I changed my legal name to my stage name because I am very proud of what I am doing and also it is just inconvenient to have my name on documents as "Andrei" when everyone knows you as "Michael."

-----------------------

YOURFAN: Hi,I want to know some recent life about Wilfred and Bruce Beckham. Long time no see Wilfred and Bruce in your blog, I miss them awfully.

Thanks for the kind words. As I said, I hope to see Wilfried soon and Bruce retired.

-----------------------

YOURFAN: Do you love Colton Ford? Please invite him to your party and take some pictures for your fans review.

I am very friendly with Colton Ford. He’s a hot guy. Too bad he retired from the business. But you never know... if he changes his mind, he has my phone number. He just moved to New York a few weeks ago, so we’ll see...

-----------------------

YOURFAN: Hi, dude, can you show us some pictures of your boyfriend and you in the blog?

My boyfriend is quite a private guy and does not really like to have his photos posted on the Internet, but you will probably see him in a documentary about me which I hope to put out soon.

-----------------------

MIKE: As a follow-up to the question above, what do you think of Pugacheva's latest single/music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebz_W6oeH1I ?

I’m sorry, I don’t want to upset any of my Russian fans with my opinions. ;-)

-----------------------

SAM: I like s&m films. U can make better films than "leather inside" of mansize.

I think S&M films are the only thing I do not do. I do lots of watersports, a lot of ass play, armpits and feet, but I don’t really produce leather. I think it’s done well by many other companies.

-----------------------

HAPPY MUSHROOM: Here's my question. What would be your advice to someone who wants to be successful in life just like you? I don't mean success in just the adult industry. I mean success in general. Do you recommend going to college or is there another way to accomplish this goal?

I think it’s always important to go to college. It is also very important to be professional and to give 100 percent to whatever you do. I always have a goal to be the best at what I am doing. It might sound simple, but that works for me.

-----------------------

MIGS: Uut of curiosity, what would you class as your favourite scene that you've shot and which is your favourite you've starred in?

It’s difficult to say as I’ve shot so many scenes. I like pretty much every scene in "Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita" and "Michael Lucas’ Dangerous Liaisons." Those are the two movies that I am the most proud of.

-----------------------

REX: I love, love, love Wilson Vasquez. Is he still a Lucas Entertainment Exclusive? If so, he is definately under utilized. When will we be seeing more of him? Thanks. You're the best!

"Encounters 5: Burning Desire" is the latest film that Wilson Vasquez (photo at right) is in and he also has an entire volume of Auditions, so I’ve filmed him quite a lot in the past 3 years. Check my website for his complete filmography.

-----------------------

ANTONIO: I'll surely sound repetitive, but I ask you again the same question of several months ago (on MySpace and you didn't reply). Are you ever going to bottom in one of your forthcoming releases? It is something I really look forward to, and I hope many other fans of yours couldn't agree more with me about it.

No, I am not planning on it. I only want to do something I am good at and it is not something I do in my private life so I wouldn’t be very good at it on film. I apologize for not answering all of my MySpace messages, but lately it has not been possible with my crazy schedule. However, I always do fit in time answer all emails from members of my website.

-----------------------

HUNGRY: I recently saw Aud 12 w/ Trey Casteel he is Beautiful w/ a capital B! Do you plan to work with him again? Is he still with Nick Marino? Loved your Encounters scene with Milan G any chance the two of you will do an encore together?

Trey Casteel lives in L.A. I filmed him by chance as he happened to be in New York, but we are not in touch. I agree that my scene with Milan Gamiani and I don’t usually repeat scenes with the same performers, but you can see Milan in "Cruising Budapest 1: Michael Lucas."

-----------------------

DANIEL: Hi Michael, I would like to know if you will work again with Ross (pretty eyes) Stevens and Arpad Miklos. Also if you consider to film with english Kent North. And how is your cuy (guinea piggy?). Thanks

Yes, Ross Stevens (photo at left) does have beautiful eyes, but I think he decided that porn was not for him. Arpad Miklos has appeared in so many movies at this point, but I would always be happy to have him back. Kent North is great, but I think he is an exclusive for Hot House. My guinea pig is superb, currently nibbling away on hay in his cage in my living room. ;-)

-----------------------

PETERMAN: Hi Michael I have a question when is Ray Star going to bottom in a video, I bet that will be hot.

Ray Star just renewed his contract for another year and I believe he may bottom for the right guy, so stay tuned.

-----------------------

TOMO: Just curious how many times in a week that u jerk off?? btw, why dont you ask Jason Preston (MJ's boyfriend) to star in your movie. He's got one hot piece of ass.

I jerk off when I am in the mood so it differs from week to week. ;-) As for your second question, I work with porn stars, not with my friends’ lovers... ;-)

-----------------------

PAULO: Are there fluffing sections or an warm up before shooting a scene?

No. Fluffing is a myth. It never existed. Why would anyone fluff if there are two hot guys on the set already? If they are not into each other I call the scene off.

-----------------------

MARK: Hi. I really love your blog. So, Zack Randall, will he make more movies with you? Is he gay, bi or straight? He sure is a cute hottie ;)

Zack Randall is definitely gay, and yes, I would like to make more movies with him in the future. You can see him in "The Intern," which can be pre-ordered now.

-----------------------

Thank you all for your questions!

Michael's Mailbox: All American Hetero?

Here are some negative responses about me using Savanna Samson in the film that I wanted to address:

"Maybe i will change my mind when I see the scene in the film, but why not show homophobic Hollywood how glamorous a scene with Michael kissing and sweeping another man off his feet could be? And then Michael would not have had to offer us his slightly guilty explanation."

"Interesting Page 6 mention today. On at least one other website, in reaction to that piece about the fountain scene, I read that this confirms what some people believe, which is you are ....secretly straight."

"All in the name of art? I don't think so Michael. You give women the impression they can overpower not only hetero but even gay men. That's a low!! Ew"

Well, if someone thinks I am straight, then I don't know what being gay is. Maybe I should've traded wardrobe with Savanna to be recognized as a gay man?

Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita is a movie with a storyline. It's not just porn, it's a real film and I can't create a real story with women absent from the picture. Can you imagine Brokeback Mountain with only men in it? I'm sorry but we all came out of the vagina and there's women in our lives whether you like it or not.

Gay people do love women. Why do you think that all the designers who dress women are gay? Why do you think the majority of the fashion world is gay? Why do you think the muses of all the famous gay photographers are women?

I want to make clear once again that there is no heterosexual action in my movie whatsoever. It's all hot, gorgeous, man on man sex. To those of you who think I am secretly straight- whatever that is supposed to mean- just watch the movie! I'd be really curious how straight you think I am after watching me with Spencer Quest for example. Find me one straight man who would eat another man's ass with that enthusiasm and you can call me Michael McPussyLover Lucas.

I am extremely thankful for the contribution Savanna Samson made to our film, and you should be too. Aside from being absolutely gorgeous, professional, and possessing natural acting talent on camera, she is a very famous leading porn lady in the straight world. Her appearance as a straight adult star in a gay movie is the first crossover of its kind. And I'm sorry to break the news to some of you, but this is a straight world and heteros still largely dominate mainstream media. Savanna is an accomplished straight talent driving mainstream attention to a gay movie and we should thank her for that. Hell, in that respect she's like the Ang Lee of porn.

Israel, a Controversial Trip?

Hey Guys,

As I get ready to leave for my performance in Tel-Aviv next week, substantial publicity has been coming my way. After this morning's report of my trip on MSNBC, and my mention on Page 6, I googled three words: "Michael Lucas Israel" and over 50 articles came up. In fact, I believe there is no Jewish-oriented website that doesn't mention it! Some praise me while others bash and condemn the whole thing.

The audience that has been commenting on all these blogs and articles varies from conservative and liberal Jews to radical Islamists, straights to gays, and men to women from all over the world. Especially check out the website YNetnews.com: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3293013,00.html
(You have to click on the comments to read them.)

My favorite comments:
"WE DON' T WANT YOU HERE ! GO AWAY ! SHAME ON U !"
"Visit also Lebanon !"
"First Hollywood Freeks... now Michael Lucas!"
"Don't put God to the test"
"Stay Away Lucas Garbage"
"Lukas could be the moschiach!"
"Stop bashing him. You should thank him! He is defending the land of Israel."
"His more of a man than Hollywood Jews"
"I'm a straight guy, but this is just great. Having this guy in Israel will show everyone that Israel is everything that Hezbollah is not: strong, open, proud and tolerant. "
"World gay pride in jeruslem and now this. What a nasty thing to be JEWISH AND GAY!"

****

You know what? I'm not a hero. I just want to be there in a difficult time for the country I love. I can't believe I've actually started receiving threats by phone and email over this whole thing!

But I will say- I'm not Junior Vasquez; I will not cancel my trip for a hugely promoted show after accepting a great amount of money, as he has. They spent thousands of dollars promoting Junior's event, which is especially difficult in a time of war, since no one can afford expensive show tickets. Throughout the month, Israeli clubs were open with free admission just to support the morale of people in the Jewish state. A Vasquez representative simply said that Junior will come when the region is in better times. I'm going now. And I will not cancel no matter what. I've performed there many times before for thousands of gay men, and nothing will stop me.

Love,
Michael

PS- Check out this video on Youtube,
Everything that I think came from the mouth of an Arab woman! It would be great for people to listen to her so that they will stop running around trying to find excuses for Islamic fundamentalists. We in the west sometimes try to be politically correct, often afraid to speak the truth. Here you get it from an Arab woman herself, someone who has lived in Islam all of her life and has the authority to state the facts. More of us should be able to do so.

Michael's Mailbox: Man vs. Myth

Dear Offended Readers:

I keep forgetting that in the 21st century people still believe in fairy tales. Michelangelo believed that angels hang out in the clouds and he painted them. At least this was beautiful!

Nowadays people fly up into the clouds, but we haven't seen any angels there yet ... unless our planes scare them all away.

Do you believe that 2,000 years ago, a crucified man went up into the sky?

Do you believe in heaven with all good souls flying about?

Make no mistake, I don't believe in Yahweh either. I absolutely refuse to believe in a god who let Jews be executed for thousands of years on every continent in every country, who turned a blind eye on killing women and children in gas chambers. I do not believe in Allah with his promised virgins. I absolutely do not believe in Jesus with all of the murders he allowed in his namesake.

Does Jesus love gays? It doesn't seem to me that we have been so blessed for the past few centuries. Did god turn a blind eye on his creatures? Why would anyone pray to such a god?

And please give me a break for mentioning crucifixion and ass on the same page, after all, weren't we rather outraged at the muslim reaction to those western cartoons?

I believe in people and their power- the power to create, love and care.

Love,

Michael

Michael's Mailbox: Answers Part 2- The Pope

Look, no hands!

Dear Mr. Lucas:

I would like to know which kind of dildos . . . size, color, form . . . you think would be best to use on the Pope. He's visiting Spain this weekend . . . at the invitation of a group opposed to marital rights for gays . . . and so I wanted an expert's opinion on how to work all the horrible shit out of the holy father.

Many kind thanks for your consideration.

Posted by: Tight Hole at July 7, 2006 11:46 AM

Dear Tight Hole:

I’m absolutely thrilled to answer your question.

There’s no bottom boy in the world that more deserves a total working over with sex toys than Pope Benedict XVI.

Obviously, the Holy Father should get prepped with holy lube. Frankincense and myrrh should be mixed with either Crisco or Elbow Grease and then blessed according to Catholic tradition.

It’s essential that this dildo session with his holiness not be one of those loving affairs. This is, after all, the ex-Hitler youth member who has agitated against us having full legal equality for much of his adult life. He’s actually in Spain, trying to influence the Spaniards to rescind their support for legal equality for gays. Let anybody who would criticize me for criticizing the pope put that in their pipe and smoke it.

For all we know, Benedick XVI has been getting fisted for decades and has a few dead gerbils up his ass. But just in case, you should start on him with a platano. I’m talking about one of those delicious banana-like fruits you find in Latino markets. Grease it up with some holy lube and just shove it right up his asshole.

Next, you must use a toilet plunger with a plastic handle. Lube it up good, and with a rocking motion like the one Mary used for the baby Jesus, work it all the way up into the pope’s deep hole. You see; we’re giving holiness a “HOLE” new meaning. Ha!

Here comes the really exciting part. After the platano and the toilet plunger, the pope should be piston fucked with one of those Jesus on the cross dildos. I’ve seen them for sale in Rome, by the way. It’s up to you whether you put it in Jesus’ head side up. The important thing is the piston fucking. Let it rip!

Drill, drill, drill that pope’s sorry open hole like a woodpecker. Tell him you’ll leave him alone, if he swears that from now on, he won’t do anything to impede our having full legal equality. Tell him that if he won’t relent, you have a black butt plug the size of a fire hydrant that you know he is just going to love.

I didn't know you all wanted to ask so many questions!
I've tried to answer them all, and I'll invite another round of Q and A next month:

Where do you see yourself and your company 10 years from now? Are there any plans to widen your market base into straight and/or lesbian porn?

Posted by: Matt at July 7, 2006 11:02 AM

Dear Matt,

I hope to be the biggest gay adult company in the world. I don't think that should come as a surprise :) I hope to still perform in my films as well. No, I am not planning on producing anything but male gay films, because this is what I know best.
--------------

Describe your ultimate dream porn scene involving you and three other performers, and name them. Preferably one you have not already filmed.

Posted by: David at July 7, 2006 11:46 AM

Hi David,

I have major ADD, so it's much easier for me to concentrate on one person. So, let's not even go there!
------------

Have you eevr considered doing straight pornyourself? (straight as in with women not with straight boys ;))

Posted by: mad scientist at July 7, 2006 11:46 AM

Mad Scientist,

I did one straight porn in Germany in 1995. I might do one scene in a special movie which will feature me for release some time in the end of the year- though I want to make sure that everyone understands that I am not bisexual. I am gay. But I can fuck pretty much anybody :)

Posted by: Tight Hole at July 7, 2006 11:46 AM

Dear Tight Hole,

There are so many things I would like to do to the pope, I will dedicate a special blog to your question.

----------

You are a very outspoken member of the adult film community. Do you find you get more support or criticism from your comments? Does it vary from people who are in the adult film community as opposed to those who are not?

Posted by: Jim at July 7, 2006 12:35 PM

Dear Jim,

90 percent of the criticism I receive is from someone who is a part of the porn community.

------------

You mentioned that you are working on a book/memoir. How is that going?

Posted by: Greg at July 7, 2006 01:08 PM

Dear Greg,

There is a student who wrote a book about me. And I gave him many interviews about my life. I read the transcript and thought the book was too green and had an amateurish quality to it. I have no idea if it will be published or not.

------------

What do you consider to be the most intimate act in porn? Is it kissing (ala Pretty Woman) or staring deeply in your partner's blue eyes while you fist him? I'm just asking:)

PS. Thanks for all the great material these past years.

Posted by: Jeff at July 7, 2006 01:10 PM

Dear Jeff,

There is nothing intimate about porn.

----------

Hello Michael,

I'd like to know if you plan to bottom on screen in the near future. Nothing like seeing a long dick flopping up and down...

Tanks

Posted by: Georg More at July 7, 2006 01:15 PM

Dear Georg,

I have no plans to bottom on screen.
-----------

So what's the deal with Chad Hunt already!

Posted by: Anderson at July 7, 2006 01:58 PM

Dear Anderson,

The deal with Chad Hunt- well, he is under contract until September of 2007. His mood changes faster than I can catch up with. Chad Hunt asked me to revise his contract, which I agreed to do. Apparently he doesn't like the new version, but his current contract is still in place- which means he is exclusive to our company, and cannot work for anyone else, regardless of how his mood will change in the upcoming year.

------------

What do you look for in a porn star body? I am getting plastic surgery done and am hitting the gym so actually I can one day maybe become a porn star? so are there any age requirements? Is there a certain length your dick has to be? What is that IT Quality in a porn star you are looking for? or any studio? Alexander

Posted by: alexander at July 7, 2006 02:01 PM

I look for a total package: good face, good body definition, and the ability to have sex on camera. Going to the gym 4 times a week is a requirement. Showing up to the set sober is a requirement as well.
---------

I've been waiting to ask you a question for the longest. Now I can't think of a thing. Here's one. Have you ever watched a hentai? P.S. I love you Michael.

Posted by: Polaris Borealis at July 7, 2006 02:05 PM

Dear Polaris,

I have no idea what hentai is.

-----------

Why do you never come to Los Angeles to do promtion of your movies and guys? Why don't you give us a chance to see these hot boys in the flesh as we don't all love the mainicured twinks we have too many of here?

Posted by: chris at July 7, 2006 02:20 PM

Dear Chris,

I am coming to LA in September for HX's gay erotic expo. I believe it is around the 10th.

------------

I read on fleshbot about Dark Alley and you haven't said anything. What's your story!?

Posted by: giorgio at July 7, 2006 02:26 PM

Dear Giorgio,

No story. All I can say is that I am very successful in getting a lot of PR. Other companies are not. Everyone has their own methods of getting it, their methods suck bigtime.

------------

Which models that are exclusives for other studios would you like to work with, if given the opportunity?

Posted by: Angel Benton at July 7, 2006 04:16 PM

Hey Angel,

I never watch movies of other directors. I barely have time to catch up on the mainstream films that I would love to see. So I am not really aware of the guys at other studios.

------------

Ever considered using electro stimulation in your movies? what about cum swallowing?

Posted by: tna at July 7, 2006 04:16 PM

Tna, do you mean like an electric chair? There are a lot of people I would like to try it on.

As for cum swallowing, a lot of models in my films swallow cum, and I am ok with it. If you want to know more, I dedicated a whole blog to this topic (click here to check it out)

Dear Ernie,

Watch my scene with Owen Hawk in Dangerous Liaisons and you can answer the questions yourself.

my question is - is there anyone who is more in love with themselves than you are?

I think Madonna might be. I believe she said, "Until I learned to love myself, I could never love anybody else."

I am not planning on anything like that. We have plenty of muscle boys right here in Chelsea.

Dear Michael:

Why in the name of a scrawny piece of White Trash that happens to have a large penis did you take down my comments about Chad Hunt?

The first amendment of the US Constitution guarantees me freedom of speech. As speech is free, I should be able to say whatever true things I want about Mr. Hunt, who looks even cheaper than free!

I buy all your films, I splatter the DVD sleeves with my cum, and I jerk off thinking about taking your fist up my ass without lube; why would you disrespect me by taking down my post? I demand that you put it back up.

Posted by: Tight Hole at July 7, 2006 05:36 PM

Dear Tight Hole,

Chad Hunt asked me to take your comment down a few days ago, and I did so in an attempt to make peace.

-------------

Michael,

One of your blog entries a while back was about your family that included a lovely group photo. How is your mother and the rest of the family doing?

Posted by: Donald in Toronto at July 7, 2006 05:37 PM

Dear Donald,

Thank you very much for asking. I would like to think that my mother is in remission because she is feeling fine. She decided not to go for more chemo since it didn't really work for her. She doesn't live far from my place, and we are spending a lot of time together.

-------------

Do you have an open relationship with your boyfriend?

Posted by: Chris at July 7, 2006 06:05 PM

Dear Chris,

I never ask my boyfriend whether he sleeps around. I am in porn movies, so there is no point for him to ask me. I've talked it over in previous relationships and it think it's the most boring, pointless topic and the conversation never changes a thing.

-------------

Hi Michael, in your last voyage to barcelona to shoot Barcelona Nights, did you meet LUcas Foz? Whi isn't him In Barcelona Nights, neither in Auditions? I was waiting for a new Hot and Explosive sex scene between both of you!! Did yoy meet Lucas Foz in Barcelona? Thanks, Luís.

Posted by: luis at July 8, 2006 12:13 AM

Dear luis,

I met Lucas Foz and unfortunately he retired from porn and lives with his boyfriend in Barcelona.

Would it amuse, disturb, or disgust you to know that some straight women enjoy gay porn? Or is the viewer, as long as they’re an adult, a non-issue for you?

Dear Leigh,

There are a lot of straight women that like gay porn, and I think it's a wonderful thing.

Oh damn I just saw this, it is probably too late but since so many of the porn-specific questions were asked here goes :

What is your favorite opera?

Which restaurant in NYC is your favorite?

Posted by: Richard at July 8, 2006 01:00 AM

Dear Richard,

My favorite opera is Verdi's Don Carlos, and my favorite restaurant in NYC is Danube. About the opera, I regret that I never had the chance to see Maria Callas singing it, but I have her recordings. I think the aria of Elizabetha is absolutely amazing.

Where do you get story ideas for your movies? I have some good ones and was wondering how to submit them :)

Posted by: Chad at July 8, 2006 12:31 PM

Dear Chad,

My in house videographer writes the scripts by himself, with me, or with the star of the film.

-------

OK, so I didn't make the first 20 questions, but... Whatever happened to your remake of Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita??? There's been no word of it on your site since May when you were talking casting and locations. Still planning to make the film? What's the scoop??

Posted by: Pike at July 8, 2006 03:03 PM

Dear Pike,

Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita is scheduled to be filmed in September. Since this movie is all about fashion and paparazzis, we decided to film it during fashion week since we can get easier access to catwalks, etc.

Do you swallow or spit in your personal life? And name a celebrity that has hit on you that we would be surprised at? (Please not Bruce or Allen but someone that you have never mentioned)

Posted by: kitty litter at July 8, 2006 07:31 PM

Dear Kitty Litter,

I spit like a camel. But I don't give away names, please ask the celebrities yourselves ...

Hi, Michael. You are so handsome and definitely everybody dream. But I would like to ask have you thought of your life without entering to the porn business. What is the most happy and sad thing of you life?

Posted by: matthias at July 9, 2006 06:37 AM

Dear Matthias,

Sweetheart, I am drowning in the porn business- so I cannot imagine my life without it. The birth of my first child was a wonderful experience, and his death was devastating. Please don't take that seriously. To be honest, I can't think of an answer to your question at the moment.

-------------

Yeah I know, its past 20 questions but I have never played fair so why start now.

Michael I have asked this before and I will ask it again.

Will you ever come up with your own line sex toys?

Posted by: ILLBFIRE at July 9, 2006 10:38 PM

Dear ILLBFIRE,

I am kept way too busy producing movies, so no I am not planning at this time.

Hello Michael,

I am French and I would really like to know if you intend to come in France. If you come it would be brillant to inform it on your blog (places, etc). I your visit waits. Thank you very much... I adore you!

Posted by: Toto at July 10, 2006 11:42 AM

Dear Toto,

There is nothing more beautiful than France, and actually, Paris is my favorite city. I have also spent many summers in the French Riviera and had a lover in Saint Tropez. I was invited to perform in the Queens disco, but our schedules did not match. If I visit, I will definitely post it on my blog.

Michael's Mailbox: You Gave Liberals A Bad Name

In response to:

"As you lived in the Soviet Union in 1980, the world pondered the same situation as the Soviet Union was hosting the winter olympics. Since you were behind the Iron Curtain and was not aware of every position in the world, let me remind you. (you can finish reading this BS in the comments about my last blog)"

Listen Luke, I usually don't dedicate my answers to dudes like you. Yet, you are a real idiot. I am not even sorry to be that frank. As for you not wanting to argue with me about Palestinian notables, there's a simple reason for that. You don't know any. But you surely are foolish enough to give an immigrant Russian Jew a lesson about the olympic games of 1980. I remember those games very well. Was I aware of the international boycott? You bet. My whole family and I, along with the families of millions of others were glued to the Voice of America, the only source that brought us true information, and hope. You can't even imagine the joy and pride we had when we realized that the world community did not forget us, and sent us a signal that the free world was with us. You say that sports should be left out of world politics. But sometimes this is the only option, and it works better than bombs and bloodshed.

I will never forget the Soviet officials desperately trying to keep a straight face and smile while Western countries dropped out of the game. The whole population of the USSR got the message. It could not be clearer. The world was disgusted by Soviet politics. Just a few years later, the borders were opened, and the first dissidents could leave the Soviet nation.

And let me tell you something about a different year of Olympic games that happened about 40 years earlier in Germany. Neither the United States nor others boycotted the Nazi olympic games, when Americans and Nazis performed on one field under big, bright swastikas, as filmed by the famous Nazi propaganda filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl. Just a few years after that, German troops marched to Czechoslovakia, then Russia, and occupied nearly the whole of Europe and Africa and the second world war began. You should be embarrassed not to draw such an obvious parallel.

You are the kind of liberal who gave liberals a bad name.

Sincerely,
Michael Lucas

Michael's Mailbox: Cum Eating and HIV

In response to this comment:

Hi Michael, You say to be a strong forefighter of safe sex in your videos by having the models use condoms while fucking. But do you realize eating eachother´s cum is also one of the biggest risks to contract HIV?!! F.e. in "Dorm Room Educations" the top licks the sperm of the face of the bottom and then kisses him directly. Also the bottom sucks the top´s cock right after coming. In the audition with Wilfried, Ross and Milan, we see Ross clearly eating Wilfried´s sperm and sucking his cock after he came. These are just 2 examples. Am I misinformed or what´s the deal here? Why do you choose to have models protect themselves during fucking and on the other hand putting themselves at (great) risk by eating someonelse´s cum? Greetz, Jake

Dear Jake,

Let me be very clear: Whenever two adults engage in sex, there is always a risk involved. It's not just about contracting HIV. It is about contracting many other sexually transmitted diseases which are much easier to get. One should always decide where to draw the line. Some say that technically you can get HIV just by kissing ... Let's imagine that both partners just flossed before or have some kind of mouth wounds. Should I just put a condom all over their face and body? How sterile should sex be?

I made up my mind long ago that all my models have to wear condoms when they are fucking. All the rest is totally up to them. Many studios produce bareback movies and movies with condoms "optional". Sometimes they include a little explanation- like "these are two boyfriends" or "these guys were just checked for STDs and are negative." I don't care about this. My message is very clear: Use a condom when you penetrate. I never heard any real evidence that someone got HIV orally, but I understand that in theory, this is a possibility. The fact is that HIV transfers during anal sex. This is proven. So if there is anal penetration I require a condom. As far as everything else, it is really up to the models.

Many of my partners in life and in films were HIV positive. I have had more sex than most people. I never transferred HIV, and I always used a condom during intercourse. Now it is totally your choice because I am not the authority. Please use common sense, good judgement, and your beliefs in your sexual life. You draw your own lines in life. I know where mine is. It's important to know yours.

But let me admit, while writing this, I feel like it is a very difficult issue and I cannot offer a strong opinion, which I am usually known for.

Sincerely,

Michael

Michael's Mailbox: Marching on ...

Dear readers,

This is the end of the month and I thought it would be appropriate to do something I do rarely. Not because I ignore people on my blog- but just because I get extremely busy running Lucas Entertainment. I always appreciate the comments, bad or good. But don't piss me off too badly, or I will be forced to fuck this puppy.

To start, The Outing blog got the strongest reaction recently. Sorry, I wasn't convinced by those who disagree with me. I know all about how important privacy is. But some people just don't get my simple point. Once someone becomes a celebrity, it is understood that he becomes a public figure. With fame and money comes a mix of pleasant and unpleasant attention. You are going to be under a media microscope and everyone understands this. If you want to have your "private life" stay private, stick to something like computer work or wait some fucking tables in North Carolina. But don't crawl towards the cameras, because it works both ways.

My second point is that at a time when homophobia is so overwhelming in this cruel world and people are being killed just for their sexual orientation, I really couldn't care about someone being a little more marketable because their fanbase is hugely homophobic. I really don't think that anyone should have concern for these people making a few less millions. Try to worry more about Matthew Shepard, or those who are pursecuted for being different who are not in the public eye, and whose problems are overlooked. (For example, I heard that Shiite Muslims have been publicly executing gays in the streets of Iraq. My applause to Mr. Bush for all the great "democracy" he has established with the new Iraqi Shiite government.)

Hillary Clinton is another controversial subject. I guess I didn't make one point clear. I was not saying "do not vote for Hillary", but instead- do not give money to a candidate that does not fully support your position. Give her your vote, but don't give her your cash. Yes I will give my vote to Hillary over Condoleeza Rice, no question. But I am not going to unconditionally financially support a candidate who periodically betrays me and does not stand up for the positions which are vitally important to me. As I said, I'd rather give that money to other charity organizations like LAMBDA legal. Gay people are often too delicate and too quick to create an icon. Why don't you learn from the powerful Jewish lobby of the US? Just like gays, as a minority, Jews are very politically active and have money. Can you imagine one presidential hopeful who will not clearly articulate his unconditional support for the state of Israel? He would not get a penny from them. Take it from the jews. Otherwise our money will always be taken for granted. Make those candidates you worship work for your money. Otherwise they will always betray you.

That reminds me of President Clinton's time. It was Clinton who signed this disgusting Defense of Marriage Act. (The one Hillary is now protecting) Bill also signed the embarrassing "Don't Ask Don't Tell" for the demands of bigots. What did we do? Absolutely nothing! Why? Because he is "our" president. How dare we. He is an icon. There was not even a conversation about gay marriage during Clinton's time. Ironically we got much further under Bush in the last 6 years than under Clinton in 8 years. It clearly shows that we make greater progress when we are alert, united, and going full force, fighting for our goals.

As for my performance in Florida, I think I need to clarify that I am not apologizing to anyone who does not understand my jokes. The point which I made to myself is that once you are in a room where people aren't on your same wavelength, then it's better to stick to the original programming. And in that case it was just swinging my dick around. I am not interested in offending those who paid money to see some cock. But I am not changing myself into a different person just because people don't get me. I am sure that my GAYVN speech is a good example of that.

That brings me to the last hot topic of the month: the awards show. Whenever I get on stage to speak, then I will always say whatever I want. I really don't think there were any horrible consequences from my words aside from bringing attention to the show. If someone really wants to be offended and wants to take what I say literally, that's ok. I am not bothered. Let them think I am a bitch.

Love,

Michael

Michael's Mailbox: GAYVN Awards 2006

Hey guys,

Thank you for your happy birthday wishes and your congratulations on my award wins. What can I say- I had a great time in LA and had a blast at the GAYVN show. Not just because I got all these awards. I did enjoy people booing, protesting, projectiles being thrown at me and all the hating.

Look, don't get me wrong, I love admiration and respect but only from people who I respect back. And there are a lot of people in the industry that I love and admire. But I really couldn't give a flying fuck about the people who boed and threw ice at me. These are not people whose opinions mean anything to me. They are just a bunch of jealous freaks. And you know, I enjoy bringing some excitement to the event. I mean come on, I provided entertainment. I gave people shit to talk about. They liked hating it.

Here is a quick breakdown for you because people seem to be making shit up: I went on stage five times. I kept my speeches short. For the Best DVD extras I thanked all the celebrities who were brave enough to appear in a porn flick (after all, their interviews spiced up the extras). When I accepted for Tony DiMarco, I just paid tribute to all that he has done for the company. When I accepted for Auditions 4, I had Heather read Manu and Edu's acceptance speech.

Finally I accepted for best picture. And every time my win was announced, it was dead silence in the audience. There was no applause or cheer. Just hate in the air. My crew was there to film the event for a documentary about Dangerous Liaisons and my life. So when I went to accept the award for the best picture, I thought it would be great to let these people express themselves. So I pushed their buttons just a bit by saying "Thank you to those who voted for me, and whoever didn't vote for me, fuck you." And that just did it. They threw stuff, they booed, and we got a great documentary peice in the end.

Many people were confused with my thank yous. Well, I thanked many people. I thanked my pilot, security, my butler, driver, chef, my closet manager, personal trainers, my gardener, my bodyguards, housekeepers, assistants, my lawyers, my stylist, makeup artist, managers, agents, etc.

I must tell you in all seriousness that it was all a joke. What's a boy to do to make these people understand that it's ok to laugh now?

Michael Lucas doesn't have a pilot ... yet.

Love,

Michael

Outing

As a gay pornographer, I’m here to remind you that the great philosopher George Santayana said: “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.”

This is on my mind because of much commentary I’ve heard regarding the question of outing.

Truly, my aim in signing John Paulus as an actor was to make hot fucking porno with him. In fact, his first DVD will be on Auditions 8: Scandalous, to be released March 15, also available on www.LucasEntertainment.com tomorrow.

But that aim has gotten all balled up with the question of outing, and as long as we’re on the subject, I want to address it.

Before getting to my main points, I’d like to point out that questions regarding Clay Aiken’s sexual orientation arose long, long before John Paulus came out with his story.

Clay’s relationship with his stylist/dancer John Dahlstrom is what’s called an open secret. A person sarcastically commenting on the Aiken/Paulus matter on one web site wrote: “What!!!!!? Clay Aiken is gay? Let me move out from under this rock.”

To interject some humor into a serious subject, I ask that you consider titles of Aiken’s albums and songs. “Measure of a Man” is one, “Mary Did You Know?” is another. If those don’t have a whiff of the homosexual, then I am a Catholic altar boy.

Adolph Hitler rose to power abetted by American financing even though his evil intentions manifested in his book “Mein Kampf.” Gays were on the Nazi hit list right along with Jews. German Jews and Gays, having long considered themselves loyal Germans, largely practiced denial regarding the threat against them; most paid with their lives.

Why am I mentioning this?

Because it is relevant to the present struggle for gay rights in the United States.

Getting "mainstream" America to accept that homosexuals deserve equal legal rights is crucial to avoiding the continued emotional and physical maiming of millions of innocent gay people.

Beyond the questions of marital rights and privileges there lies, for example, the daily spectacle and disgrace of young people, perceived to be gay, endlessly tormented and harassed in their public schools, with the tormenting and harassment mainly ignored or encouraged by the adults in the schools.

Matthew Shepard’s murder was not an isolated incident, but because of the way his killers left him tied on an outdoor fence with his skull smashed, his case drew much attention.

Federal U.S. and Wyoming state law does not consider killings on the basis of sexual orientation to be hate crimes. After Matthew’s murder, President Clinton tried to push legislation through Congress that would have added sexual orientation to the hate crimes law. Republicans defeated the measure.

The defendants at one point in their trial attempted a “gay panic defense,” which literally allows people to get away with murder. The idea of a “gay panic defense” is that a person sexually propositioned by a homosexual goes temporarily insane with rage and thus may be excused from having committed murder.

There aren’t federal laws guaranteeing us equal rights, but there is one allowing murderers of gay people to be found innocent on the basis of that “gay panic defense.”

The gay panic defense, as turned out, did not work for Matthew’s killers. Yet having allowed it to be used in court, and with the support of gay-haters across America, those killers appeared on 20/20, saying that the murder was not fueled by homophobia but rather by methamphetamine. Please.

Anti-gay Fred Phelps and his supporters protested Mathew’s funeral and the trial of his killers holding placards reading “God Hates Fags” and “Matt Shepard Rots in Hell.” Phelps sought to erect a monument of Matthew Shepard with a bronze plaque saying that Matthew entered hell on the day he died.

Readers; do not make the mistake of thinking the attitude represented by Phelps is a fringe one.

Enemies of gay people are ascendant. The president wants a Constitutional amendment banning our equal rights. The vice president has a lesbian daughter whom he claims to love, yet securing gay rights not only is no priority for him, he actually cooperates in having those rights defeated.

If you think there is no chance that in the United States there could within ten years be a mass round-up and killing of gay people, you are pathetically naïve, and you are not keeping in mind Santayana’s dictum. Look how radically Bush has transformed America in the course of five years and understand that it is not impossible that ten years hence, those radical changes could prove to be the foundation for even greater barbarity.

The so-called Weimar Republic emphasized tolerance and openness yet was ultimately usurped in Germany by the Nazis and their deep-seated, widespread bigotry.

All this and more is why I do not accept that gay people in the public eye have a “right” to keep their sexuality secret. There are times when the moral imperative is to take a stand on an issue; this is one of those times.

Whether Clay Aiken is gay, when asked about the question in a published or broadcast interview, he should at the very least be stating and reaffirming his support for gay rights.

But he does no such thing. Next magazine wanted to interview him, and his publicist told Next that Clay would never ever give an interview to a gay publication.

Any gay person who argues against outing is contributing to our oppression and is digging the grave, as it were, for all of us. I have heard all the arguments against outing. I am persuaded by none of them, and completely and utterly disgusted that gay people would continue making them.

Michael's Mailbox: Reactions Surrounding John Paulus

We just came from the Howard Stern Show. John was nervous but he did well. Thank you, Howard, for your understanding and your help.

The Howard Stern Show was receiving phone calls from straight men calling John filthy and horrible because he is gay, and another called saying that a disgusting homo could never be such a high rank in the army. John was quizzed by the caller as to whether he was ever really a green beret. After John answered all of his questions accurately, Howard and John made room for jokes.

Beyond the show, I'd like to respond to some angry feedback that John is wrong for "outing" Clay.

John did not out Clay Aiken for the sake of outing him. Howard asked the same question many of you want answered:
Is it ever justified to out someone?

Here's my answer: I think people who mind their own business should be left alone and it's up to them to decide to come out to their families, coworkers, etc. But people who develop a public persona and are hypocrites should be outed. It is one thing to be a housewife who doesn't want to have her private life scrutinized. Celebrities are very different. People are entitled to privacy, but when someone tries to paint a picture that is the opposite of who they are, they deserve to be exposed. I respect Anderson Cooper's stance. He neither confirms nor denies. He has been out in public and doesn't make anything of his orientation. He doesn't try to convince people that he is some kind of saintly Christian straight guy.

Clay uses gay public websites to pick up boys and *allegedly* have unprotected sex with them. Yet if his fanbase had their way, those websites would already be closed down. He is simply a public hypocrite and public hypocrites do not have the right or respect of privacy. Clay Aiken could make a difference by coming out to his largely homophobic Christian fundamentalist fanbase, and maybe change their minds and make the world a better place. But instead he lies to us, having us buy into his innocent persona when he's preying on the gay community for his own pleasure, but not owning up to his homosexuality, which could make a difference. If you choose to stay in the closet, fine. But don't publicly identify with people who are against gay culture, and don't exploit the freedoms that gay people have, such as gay dating websites.

Clay is using gay public space in order to pick up boys. These sites are there as a result of an ongoing fight for gay rights. If it were up to many homophobic people, these kinds of websites would all be shut down. And as we all know there are many people who wish we were all still in the closet.

If you use gay achievements which resulted from years and years of the gay liberation movement, then don't be just a user. Make a difference.

Do I care about Clay's career? No, there are people who lost not only their career, but their life. For one reason: because they are gay.

John is on our side. Clay Aiken's fans are not. It's a far worse thing if we betray him than to betray poor Clay Aiken.

Michael's Mailbox: Globes Gone Wild

A lot of readers commented on my blog about the Golden Globes. I’m pleased to see that level of interest in an important topic.

People are presenting many qualifiers and justifications for the producers’ and presenters’ failure to mention the importance of supporting gay rights and their failure to use the word "gay".

I’m sticking to my guns. The straight people profiting from these gay-themed movies have a responsibility to at least mention support for gay rights when they are accepting awards for their films. The Bush administration is real, so are its supporters. Shame, shame, shame on those who, given an opportunity to denounce its homophobia on television, don’t do so.

Marlon Brandon once refused an Oscar to bring attention to the cause of Native Americans. The least Ang Lee could have done, in accepting his award, would be to say something like “I support full civil rights for homosexual people.” Eight words that take a few seconds to say.

There’s a phrase I’ve seen used more than once to describe “Brokeback Mountain.” Here it is: “Focus Features’ art house weepie about two star-crossed ranch hands.” Where in that put-down is it made explicit that the two ranch hands in question are homos? The very use of the word “weepie” is an affront. (SPOILER ALERT) The character Jack is murdered in cold blood by homophobes. Ennis is devastated by the loss. These events resonate with reality. Calling the film an art house weepie trivializes the tragedy.

Note also that in the article which used that phrase, the writer, discussing Brokeback’s chances at the Oscars, said “But before the “Brokeback” cowboys get too cocky in the saddle ...“

I feel indignant that besides trivializing the tragedy of “Brokeback Mountain,” this writer went on to make a stupid pun involving the film yet never once mentioned that the movie demonstrates the need for greater tolerance. I too make stupid puns, but I never curtsy around any issues.

There is a day when I won’t mind that those profiting from gay-themed films don’t include the necessity for gay rights in their awards acceptance speeches, and that is the day when prejudice against gays has been eliminated world wide.

So I have a dream too. I'm not talking plantations and congress like that naughty vixen, Hillary. I'm talking about a world where gay people enjoy the civil rights and the life without fear that they are entitled to.

Michael's Mailbox:

First, let me apologize to my readers for giving away the ending of Brokeback Mountain. For some naive reason, I thought that everyone read the short story before seeing the movie because it was out for so long. But I keep forgetting that not everyone likes to read. I should know better because a lot of porn stars told me this very thing- that reading is pointless. Since whenever the book is good enough, they will certainly make a movie out of it. So again, my apologies ...

Hello from the Camel's Back

Hey guys, I am off to my middle eastern vacation. Sorry, but I just can't stand all of the Christmas craziness that takes over New York at this time of year. So I have taken off to Israel and Jordan. Not sure how often I will be able to email or write from the camels, so I prepared a few simple things and pics that can be posted while I am gone.

Michael's Mailbox: Love Your Body

Here's a new picture that I had taken today. Someone mentioned to me that it's got that American Apparel look to it. What do you think?

Speaking of which, one of my favorite things about having a blog is finding out what you all think. I was so surprised at the reactions to my last blog, so I thought it was important not to talk about something new today. Please, I urge you to tell all of your friends about the treatment discussed below. Because when somebody is actually in a bad situation where they would need to get medication- they might not be in the best mindframe to know what to do. Everyone take care of their body- 1) By having safe sex in the first place, and 2) If you may have been exposed to the virus, by being responsible and going to the doctor for immediate treatment.

It is shocking and terrible that only medical workers and their friends know about HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis. I do know about this treatment. I also know that there are times in life where, for whatever reason- bad judgments or mistakes- a person will realize, "What have I done" and that they just participated in unprotected sex with a possibly HIV positive partner.

Please, if you are concerned, see your doctor, get this treatment if need be- and after you are done with this horrible month long treatment, maybe you will think twice about being careless with your body again.

But no matter what is on your mind or in your world, I still wish you all happy, sexy, fun weekends.

Michael's Mailbox: South Africa Ahead of US in Civil Rights Race 2005

South Africa just announced that they have legalized gay marriage. Click here for story.
Not that I want to praise anything going on in South Africa, as I would never want to set my foot there. Why do I hate on South Africa? Oh just a little thing called aparthied, which I am sure they would like to continue with, but the international community was too difficult to bear economically. So it's especially embarrasing for the US that South Africa is ahead of us as far as civil rights are concerned here.

You know, maybe the fact that Bush is in power has at least some positive effect for gay people. Not only did Bush's power mobilize the left wing, but it also encouraged Europeans. Likely to spite the modern American way, the Europeans have made a point to move on with gay marriage, not that they gave a fuck about marriage insitution which is pretty dead in Europe anyway, but they wanted to make a point to the US that they are much hipper. They are now carrying the flag of liberty. Now they can effectively show America that we are in the back of the parade and Europe is leading it. And in the end, America will be on its own with its increasingly conservative values, just as we are with capital punishment.

Fortunately, I think this will push America to change. American people will see they are the only ones left with these idiotic standards, along with countries like China and North Korea.

Anyway, thank you for your emails and comments on my past blogs. Here is one comment which caught my attention:

"Gay" is the eugenic term for homosexual, meaning that homosexuality is only defined by genes and not the complex interaction of genetic disposition, environmental factors and psycho-social histories that actually make a homosexual. It's like the naive notion that criminal behaviour is inherited instead of it being (again) a complex interaction of class, upbringing, perception and psycho-social interactions. The Fascists, Afrikaaners, Nazis and Zionists all use (or used in some cases) eugenic methods to determine the "purity" of their individual populations and the use of the term gay is really offensive to many (myself included).

Posted by: diabolix

This person has commented before and I believe his real name is Mohammed. My favorite line is when he puts Zionists in the same line with Nazis. And thank you very much for such a vivid explanation of what the term "gay" means. Though I must say, Mohammed, there are many sick individuals among gay people as among any group of people. In fact, I am personally offended that you are one of us.

It's also fascinating that you, in 2005, think that a person's environment makes them gay. You are the true example that readers of this blog are diverse. Some of them are completely retarded.

Anyway, enough of this. Here are more sexy new Barcelona pictures.
