IMAGE OF THE DAY: DREW NAKED
BLUE
After the burn out of the last election, I made the decision to keep my blogs specially related to my male photography and my own personal postings and not get political unless necessary. Well, it is necessary.
Tuesday November 8, 2022 are the Midterm election. If you haven't voted, now is the time.
I am not going to twist anyone's arm on what to vote on. However, I am going to keep it real.
If you are not voting Blue you are blatantly saying that your agenda is more important than keeping our democracy (which isn't really a true democracy) alive.
This midterm is not the one to "Sit out." Too much is at stake.
Just remember : If you think you are just fine with they way the Republicans are changing things, give it time. Wait until something you are passionate about, something that you deem important is taken away from you. With them it will happen to you as well. This is going to ruffle some feathers. I DON'T CARE. Your White privilege that has gotten you where you are today will be gone because it would no longer be about your privilege but your class. And how much do you really think you are worth to them?
Understand that even though my stance lean left. I don't hate on people with a different view than mine. What I do have an issue with are those who will do anything; whether legal or not to stay or gain political power. I do have issue with people who become harmful and violent to stay or gain power. And I do have issue with people who refuse to see the horrible things happening in this country because they want their party to win.
And for the Blue of us:
At the beginning of this post I said. that I decided not to get as politically charged as I was in 2020. That whole year burned me the fuck out. But you know who's not tired? Those maga idiots waving flags and gunns, driving down the street in their pick up covered in stickers.
It is time to get more involved. Donate whatever possible to the cause. I know it is a pain but there is too much at stake not to. I wish I would have done it much sooner. But I do plan to put my money where my mouth is......Tonight.

So when Boss is not snoring to wake the def, apparently I’m breathing my hot breath on the back of his neck, putting him at risk of heat exhaustion. These are the relationship goals to reach for.
NO WORDS
Six conservatives and three liberals. This is not good. I have intentionally been quiet on this matter. I am sure there will be plenty to say in the future but right now I just don't have the words.
WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS DO IT YOURSELF
This fall was to mark my launch date for my websites. Year after year there has been one delay or a push back after another.
I've dealt with designers and web developers that have flaked. I've spent lots of money on on empty returns. Because of this all of my "Just wait and see, It's coming this year" moments, many of my followers have just accepted the idea of rolling their eyes and virtually patting me on the back, "Sure. Whatever you say Mark!"
Fortunately most have stayed with me even in these empty promises.
I have come to a resolution:
I'm going to build my own websites. I am taking classes on how to code and build my own site.
Obviously my launch date won't be this year. Hell maybe not even next year! But I am resolved in doing it my own self. I've waited this long, I might as well learn the skill if I'm going to have my own sites.
It's not like I can't do it. Its just something that will be challenging and maybe very difficult at first. But it is not like I'm incapable of meeting the challenge.
I will continue to post previews of the sexy men I meet here at my blogspot page, twitter and IG.
I am grateful that I do have some outlets that allow me to network and meet potential models. Yes the navigation and format in these platforms can be limiting and the rules and regulations at best can be oppressive to one's creativity. But I realize when you live in someone else's house you play by their rules. Until of course you get your OWN house.
I look forward to seeing what the future will bring. But for now I'm just going to live in the present and continue to share with you the appetizers before the main course.
Enjoy .
DELAY AFTER DELAY AFTER DELAY
I owe my friend about 100 beers by now. Every time we plan to get together something comes up. But we are going to do this. My blog buddy and I have played email tag for years trying to get together for a hang out but things have just gotten in the way: His schedule, my schedule, his schedule, my schedule, pandemic. This is starting to seem like the story of my website!
Speaking of which: I have been BUSY like a hooker in overtime trying to find a reputable web designing company that will help me build my website. If anyone knows or is a skilled designer, please contact me. My deadline is getting closer. The launch date is in September and time is running out. It takes a few months to build and I don't have much time left. I have drafts of the site I just need the builder.
And NO I'm not just going to settle for these blogs, platforms, tube sites, and "Fans" pages that have all of these limited and restrictive policies and non user friendly navigation templates.
Yeah I've been busy. But I still want that beer! Hell I really don't even drink beer I just need to get out for a moment. AND THEN GET BACK TO WORK.
That's my story in a nutshell. I will someday get a good rhythm going with my posting here. I have just been scrambling around getting things prepared to meet my deadline. Again, if anyone is knowledgable in coding and word press Please contact me at themalecastingcouch@gmail.com
For now,
MEN:OPEN YOUR LEGS AND SPREAD THEM: SUNDAY MORNING WITH DREW
It’s been awhile since the men on The Couch spread their legs open for me. Now that I’m shooting again there is no reason why not to get some good man spreading in.
Here’s the latest with Drew . Enjoy your Sunday!
BJ’S SEXY SMILE
BJ is always a favorite. This is from last year. I have worked with him often throughout the years. He’s one of the ones that come in and out my life. He can disappear for weeks even years but it’s always like where we left off when reunited. Hopefully I will see this sexy friend soon.
HELLO COUCH SURFERS
Hello Couch Surfers.
I have amends to make. Not that I feel unresolved with the blogosphere itself, but the blog family that I left behind without much of a word. I don't regret taking the time I needed to get myself right but more; I regret not being in contact with those who have reached out to me over the last few months. You know who you are and I thank you for your continued friendship and support even virtually.
For them I will say,"I truly apologize."
In my time away I have l learned that sometimes by not responding, my actions or lack there of can appear aloof even if I really haven't checked my emails for this blog until recently. But I have also grown to understand that as an adult I don't owe anyone any explanation. I will do what I feel is necessary when I feel it's necessary; not because someone wants me to.
My goodness I sound like a rebellious teenager when I type this. But what I realized (and it has taken me 33 years to realize this) is I am not a teenager. I am not a child. I am a man that doesn't need permission nor do I need to explain why I do what I do or who I am to anyone.
Just so there is no confusion. I am not saying this to my blog brothers. You have been very supportive. This is coming from months of getting help from a professional that assisted me a great deal with learning how to set boundaries to my family and friends.
It has also allowed me not to get plugged into this whacky world of the Matrix online. Being a blogger and being on other social media is alright to a degree; but there can be demands here as well not to mention the psychological toll it can take on a person if too much time is spent. So I am learning balance.
I am back to shooting again so the primary objective is to make The Male Casting Couch a blog that celebrates the diversity and sexuality of all men.
Due to the pandemic and the fact that we were in lock down and racial tensions were rising, the blog's vision slightly steered towards me and my thoughts. My goal is to make my photography the highlight once again.
However If there is something going on in the world that needs to be discussed I'm going to do it. 2016 - 2020 I found myself getting more politically charged than I ever have. We were in a shit show. And unfortunately we have a very long way to go.
Black Lives still and always will matter. And I will continue to remind you of that.
For now I have some beautiful men to share with you.
So enjoy.
