hot emo boys, you say?
Apparently, people come here looking for different things. Here's the top ten searches this month:
#1 LOLCats (check)
#2 BJ jokes (there was the one about the penguin and the seal...)
#3 Laura Bradford + agent (Just email me. I'll be happy to answer questions, so you don't have to lurk, hoping for tidbits of info)
#4 lite bondage (Hmm. No. Unless you mean in My Valentine, and in which case... yes.)
#5 wwnd, nora (Archives, april or may, I think)
#6 ann aguirre (that's me!!! you came to the right place!)
#7 dangling dick pix (Come on, really? I thought I had made it crystal clear how I feel about candids of the dangly bits.)
#8 girlie sci-fi (check)
#9 gaudy purses (oh, double check!)
And #10... you ready?
emo olympics.
I must've used that phrase or something, but I'm pretty sure there is no such thing. Sorry, it's just a figure of speech. But what events would that involve? Sighing, painting your nails black, leaning on stuff, letting your hair fall in your eyes, and piercing random body parts? Anyhow, it's been too long since I posted a hot emo boy for your pleasure.
His name is Romeo (really? well, that's what his profile says), and he's from El Salvador. He likes long walks on the beach (at night!) and listening to the Cure; and his turnoffs include sunlight, bright clothing, and people who smile a lot. (I just made most of that up.)
Enjoy.
PS - You're allowed to admire him in an aesthetic sense, but don't go thinking impure thoughts. He's only 17. But don't despair -- you can lust after Harry Potter legally now!
Seriously, though... (OMG, I can't believe I baited you in here with a hot emo boy pic and then sprang an issue on you! It's diabolical.) I was reading a story on Reuters called Older White Women Join Kenya's Sex Tourists. The gist is how well-to-do baby boomers in their 50s and 60s head to Kenya, and pick up some hot young 20-something. The ladies play sugar mama for the duration of their vacations, buying presents and providing walking around money for their boytoys while they're around.
I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. I mean, in one sense, it's clearly not prostitution. They're not exchanging currency directly for sex. It's a bit more muddied than that. Part of me wants to say, "Have fun!" to these adventurous old chicks. I mean, they're widowed or single, looking for a good time? If they can attract a hot stud with their bankrolls, why not?
However, I do think it's creepy when old dudes keep chasing young tail, so why do I think it's ok for a woman to get some this way? That makes me feel like I have a double-standard, which I don't like to admit.
Do these men feel devalued? Or are their lives such that they're just happy to get what they get out of it? What bothers me is inequity or imbalances in power in a relationship, but this is more of a vacation fling, so as long as both parties are legal, single, and nobody gets hurt, what's the harm?
And is it really any different than a rich old dude flashing his bankroll and picking up some young honey? I don't know. Readers, what do you think?

"It's not love, obviously. I didn't come here looking for a husband," Bethan said over a pounding beat from the speakers.
"It's a social arrangement. I buy him a nice shirt and we go out for dinner. For as long as he stays with me he doesn't pay for anything, and I get what I want -- a good time. How is that different from a man buying a young girl dinner?"

I think they must want Lisa Andel's blog.
And dangling dicks?? Now that would be interesting. LOL.

It's not the age-gap, per se, but you've hit on it with this: "But it still stinks of rich folk using young bodies of color for sexual pleasure and taking advantage of the poverty that they exist in..."
Yeah, pretty much. It also concerns me because I think we, as a society, are less disposed to feel for a man in this position. He's a pimp! Getting both the loot and the booty (never mind that it's old booty, it's still sex!) That makes him the man twice over, right?
But what about the message he's receiving? His body as his only valuable commodity. Maybe it's overly emo of me (which also suits this post) but I can't help but think of lasting self-esteem issues. I wonder how it makes these men feel to be used for sex, but they aren't considered fit, suitable or good enough for a lasting partnership? Ouch. That has to do some damage on some level, don't you think?
makes me want to go to Kenya and start telling random men they're worthy of love.

And as far as the Kenyan issue goes, there has to be damage. Any time you have an inequity like that, it's not healthy.
no, it's not ok for someone who has money to flash it until they get someone hot to sleep with them for presents, regardless of race or gender
and yeah, i second the fact that there will be harm done.
