hi clint

thank you for your post and for your kind words about the site

i'm glad it's so meaningful for you

i'm glad also that you had a relationship in which you could express your love in a natural and satisfying way

i wouldn't call you a "frottageur" but simply a "guy into frot" -- a Frot guy

that's a political point -- we want to present frot to other men not as an exotic practice with a French-sounding name, but as something ordinary, everyday guys do -- which is what it is and what they do

you also say:

Perhaps the experience patterned me, but I have always craved maximum skin contact, no matter what else was in the offing.

you don't need to be patterned to be into frot

frot is genital-genital sex, and your body is hard-wired to enjoy it

so you don't need to be patterned or taught frot -- it's a free, innocent, and natural expression of male sexuality

and that to me is one of the most important points we're making on the site

that frot is natural, masculine, full-body pleasure

while anal is unnatural, effeminizing behavior that has to be taught and learned

for too long men into frot have believed they were abnormal

we're not

rubbing cocks -- having genital-genital sex -- is normal

stickin your dick in a hole of shit and pretending that your anus is a vagina -- that's weird

i talk about that in a new photo essay titled What Sex Is

and you may wanna ck that out

Clint, thank you again and remember

Bill, many thanks for your kind reply to my post. I have indeed been perusing your sites, & am delighted to find them all. You are doing a good thing for all gay men, even those who don't yet know it.

BTW: Re: "Queer as Folk." As I thought about the series, it seems to me that Michael could become the poster boy for frot. He is the one who is into comics & superheroes. & while I haven't seen the more recent episodes, the last one I did see Michael had met an interesting man who tells him that he is HIV+. What an opportunity to put in a plug (pun definitely not intended) for non-invasive sex.

I know.... like whistling in the wind.

Cheers.

hi clint

it's not necessarily whistling in the wind

i encourage fans of the show to write the producers of Queer As Folk -- they're Canadian and you can find the address on the web

a show like Queer As Folk is always looking for material

so if you tell them about us and the site -- please give them the URL of the Alliance

http://www.man2manalliance.org

it may pique their interest

the one thing you can be sure of is that if you do nothing -- nothing will change

so give it a go and send them a letter

not to be patronizing, but you'll feel better -- stronger and more confident -- for having done so
