Turns out that the video I posted yesterday features Oshri Cohen. (It’s written in the info with the clip but I wasn’t paying attention.) Oshri is an Israeli TV and movie star. I recently saw him in Beaufort. I’ll write more about that later…
Enough seriousness for a while. Here’s a cute boy break. Beach volleyball is popular in the Middle East.
The other day I was hanging out at the beach and watching hot guys do their thing. Some were sunbathing; others playing volleyball. There were lots of folks out windsurfing too. This reminded me of Gal Fridman, Israel’s only gold medal winner. Gal (His name means “wave” in Hebrew, btw.), won a gold metal at the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics for windsurfing. I think he’s hot stuff!
The other day I was flipping through Time Out Tel Aviv and ran across this CUTE guy in an ad for “Healing treatments, Massage, Relaxation and Spirituality” The ad lists such treatments as: deep tissue massage, warm stones, foot massage, vacuum cups, acupuncture, shiatsu, reiki, tantra, and nutritional advice.
Then ze boy lists his website. I looked it up of course. That’s where these loverly pics came from. Go check it out. He’s got this interesting star zippy thing going on on the site that’s kind of weird but he’s so cute you’ll forgive him. Anyhoo, Moshe (the guy’s name) writes,
I am physiotherapist and tantra practitioner.I invite you to the best experience you’ve ever tried, the experience of TANTRA. Tantra is a spiritual flow from the ancient India. With Tantra you could take care your body through the sexual energy and to experience a great orgasm through it. The main prespective of this session based on the sexual energy, what will bring you to an ecstasy. the being of it is spiritual and physical bodywork that will reflect your body energy flow.
Anyway, it’s been all I could do NOT to call this guy. I mean, I don’t need to pay for sex. But I have to tell you that the idea of an afternoon of a therapeutic tantric “rub down” with this guy makes me want to pullout my, um, wallet.
According to this report, even with all the craziness that goes on in the Middle East it seems that people here are able to stay happy because of - HUMMUS! That’s right, smashed chickpeas make you happy.
Apparently, this food contains an amino acid called tryptophan that, when consumed in large quantities, turns into serotonin, which makes one feel happier. This was discovered in a study by nutrition expert Dr. Zohar Kerem and others. The finding was reported early this year on the nrg.co.il Web site.
All I know is that if eating your share of hummus makes you look like this Middle Eastern hottie, then I am all for it and it’s Prozac effect is just a bonus!
Love is a feeling - an emotion. It’s not a game. If you want to play a game with guys, try baseball. You can swing your, um, bat as much as you want without giving anyone a heartache.
I am not an archeology student, but I do love to poke around the Middle East and stick my nose into ancient ruins.
From time to time I come across the items pictured here. To my (admittedly) untrained eye, they appear to be ancient glory holes, no? This leads me to the following conclusions: (a) ancient Middle Eastern men were much better hung than their descendents today, and (b) ancient cocks came in a wider variety of shapes ans sizes than we see in modern times (how else to account for existence of round and square holes?).
It’s reasonable to assume that the ancients stuck a high value on their fleshy members, what with carving their glory holes from stone to avoid splinters (i.e., the modern door glory hole). It can also be assumed that ancient men enjoyed quick oral breaks during harvest season, as these glory hole set-ups often appear in reconstructed agricultural settings alongside other tools.
Did you know that Arab Americans rank as some of American’s best athletes, not to mention the hottiest hotties on the field?
San Diego Chargers quarterback Doug Flutie, who threw the “miracle touchdown” pass for Boston College, won the Heisman Trophy in 1984. There’s also NFL player Jeff George, who quarterbacked several NFL teams, and former NFL coach Rich Kotite. Don’t forget former Chicago Bears linebacker and NFL Hall of Famer Bill George, or former Cleveland Brown Abe Gibran. Another NFL player is Drew Haddad of the Indianapolis Colts.
Major League baseball player Joe Lahoud (below) played with the Boston Red Sox and Sam Khalifa played for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In auto racing, Bobby Rahal won the Indy 500 in 1986, later becoming the all-time earnings champ among Indy car racers. In the ring, Petey Sarron won the world featherweight championship in 1936-1937. Zuhair “Steve” Mansour was weightlifting’s Grandmaster of the World in 1990. In track and field, the world record holder for the marathon is Arab American Khalid Khannouchi (pictured above).
Arab Americans have made a host of contributions to America in every field, including entertainment, activism, military, the arts and law. In researching this post, I learned that two of the country’s most prominent activists are Arab Americans: consumer advocate and Green party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and the founder of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Candy Lightner. Countless lives have been saved by the work of these two individuals.
Let’s hear it for America, where anyone and everyone has the chance to make their dreams come true!
(Do you know who first penned the words, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?” Arab American author Kahlil Gibran!)
Today Mideast Piece brings you to Turkey for a popular local sport: oil wrestling. Every year since 1640 Turkey’s best wrestlers – men and boys – have gathered for the national championships on a grassy field near the capitol of the old Ottoman Empire (Edirne). The tournament is called “Kirkpinar,” or “Forty Springs,” in honor of a 17th Century wrestling legend.
The wrestlers wear tight short leather trousers called “Kispet” made of water buffalo leather and - fortunately for us horn-dogs - cover themselves with olive oil. Matches take place throughout the country, especially during the summer.
Oil wrestling matches can draw thousands of Turks, who come for the match and to enjoy lamb roast, belly dancing and traditional Turkish music. Only if there is no winner after a half-hour is the match decided with a “sudden death” overtime. There are few forbidden holds, and grabbing of trunks is not off limits. (What about grabbing of asses and crotches?)
Next time you’re in Turkey, skip the mosques and head to the oil wrestling!
The Israman Long Distance races were held last week in Eilat, Israel. While this event wasn’t particularly “gay”, I bet the standard 10% was there to represent. Anyway, anytime there are hot guys getting wet and taking their clothes off in the Middle East, you can count us to cover it! Read more about it for yourself. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the article:
I felt every cell in my body screaming. Then, a guy with a tattoo on his leg coasted past me. I had yet to absorb what happened when another guy passed me, as if he were just warming up.
Then, they ran, barefoot and wet, to the changing station, where they stripped off bathing suits…
Here are some more images from the event for your enjoyment!
