A Mormon? Really?

Ah, Tighty-Whities! F*cking love them--almost more than any other form of gear.

So simple, innocent, and charged with homoerotic locker room flashbacks-o-plenty ...

The ones I have on in this pic are your basic FTL (Fruit of the Loom of course)! I will be posting the entire video (from which this still was taken) on my official website in the coming weeks. It was fun making that vid! I never get bored with underwear and gear ...

I am actually sending this pair to a buddy in Amsterdam who needs to experience "firsthand" of the joys of classic American underwear for guys ...

I love them--they will NEVER be out of style, no matter what G*nch G*nch and Ozziebum try to tell us we need to purchase so that we can look hot. Hot cannot be bought--it just "is," yeah?

Tighty-Whities will also always remind me of going to the Temple as a Mormon teenager because of how we all had to put them on as part of our outfit underneath the god-awful white, polyester jumpsuits (Baptismal clothes).

And then there is my very first "erotic dream" that I ever remember having (and I was in like first grade) ... about a classmate wearing his underwear (of the blessed Tighty-Whity variety of course). Damn, that dream did a number on my 8 year-old pysche! I'm still not over it!

Speaking of the "Mormon Thing!" ....

Today, a fellow Mormon brother asked me if I am "really Mormon, or just from a Mormon family." Himself a former Mormon missionary, maybe his interest was piqued at what my profile said about my "former-Mormon-turned-porn-actor" identity?

I found myself a bit peeved for some reason! I guess because I was raised in a strict Utah (Salt Lake City) Mormon household where my dad was the Bishop of the local congregation ... was on Seminary Council in High School and called on a mission to Stockholm ... later in graduate school, I did my Master's Thesis on "Religion and the Spiritual Needs of Gay Mormon Men" ... guess you could say I am a Mormon LoL ... and I found that I was somewhat offended that I had to explain that?

Our Madonna said it best: "Once a Catholic, ALWAYS a Catholic." Same goes for me with the Mormon culture, way of life, and programming. I think a guy could spend a whole f*cking lifetime working on trying to "deprogram" from a strict religious upbringing and still fall short of true freedom.

There is just no substitute for being raised in a home that encourages free-thought and allows a kid to just "be" (himself). Sometimes, it can even feel like a waste of time to try to "undo" what was done in the formative years of early childhood, ya know? Doesn't help to have studied psychology and social work at the University level either because it is still totally cerebral and does not "turn back time."

Those are my thoughts ... for today, at least.

Oops! And one more thing ...

I hope Chad Hardy is doing okay in light of what recently transpired in connection with his sexy Mormon Missionary calendar! He is a brave brother (and a great friend), and a true pioneer ... I admire the man very much.
