FLAVALIFE Sex, Drugs,
& MySpace
By: Taylor Siluwé
I broke up with my boyfriend on
MySpace. Don’t laugh. It’s not funny.
Since its inception in July 2003,
MySpace has infected the planet like a virus. I tried to be above it. I did. But
everyone from Judge Mathis to Ms. Cleo has a page with all the bells and
whistles and do-dads. I hate the bandwagon. It’s so common. And since I was
a little knock-kneed boy running from bullies (who always seemed hell-bent on
breaking my glasses) I’ve known I was hardly common.
Yeah. I was special, damnit. That’s why everyone wanted to kick my ass.
Warp to present—I set up a MySpace page (okay, so I am a little common). I
set up a tasteful one with a slide-show to represent my life and passions in
cyberspace. My boyfriend did also, except on his page I was nowhere to be
seen. Okay, it seems like a little thing. But my absence on his MySpace was an
insult to my page, where he’s heavily featured. My absence through the tons
of pictures he displayed told me where I was on the list of his life’s passions.
Sure, if I mentioned it, he’d put one up. But how cool is it to be an afterthought?
Yeah. Little things mean a great deal.
So I flipped out. He’d been fuckin’ up anyway and this was the last straw. Since
we weren’t speaking—our own little Cold War on 5th Street—I wrote a note
and left it on his offending, not-giving-me-my-just-props page:
“Your Page speaks volumes to me …
your absence spoke even more.
It’s over, boy. Fly.”
No one likes a public display of dirty draws, but in my defense, I can be a real
asshole when motivated. A day later he deleted it without a word slicing the
gloom between us.
II’m taking it well. Maybe because I knew it wouldn’t last. I knew how improbable it was that a relationship between a 21-year-old and someone soon-to-be
forty would last. Twenty and Forty are at different places. Forty can’t tell Twenty
anything. Twenty has to be Forty to know. Not that Forty is superior or less
likely to fuck-up, he’s just seeing through different eyes. Still, against the odds,
it lasted over two years.
We met after a long dry spell. I hadn’t had a boyfriend in years and preferred it
that way. I was producing a film version of my first ever published short-story,
A Taste For Cherries. That’s where my head was. We met while I was doing me.
But we started doing each other too, fell in love, and the film project got lost in
the bliss of co-habitation and multiple orgasms. Funny how that happens.
I struggled in the beginning. My desire for him wrestled with my will to be
single. The need to fly solo lived in my psyche through every relationship I’ve
ever had. Beneath the beauty and comfort and security of being the happy
couple (that two-headed creature who’s always invited to the best parties),
was an inner wild-child who wanted to have his cake and screw it across the
coffee table too.
FLAVALIFE
Yeah. That whole ‘forsaking all others’ thing is a bit of a problem. And it’s
not just me.
It’s natural for man to go back to his feral roots in a heartbeat, putting fidelity
to the side when the urge for something new and hot presents itself—even
upon threat of eternal damnation and public disgrace. Fidelity, I believe, is
what’s unnatural; as unlikely a condition as roasting endlessly for our socalled sins. We go to church and confess. Still, our hearts bleed because we
can’t restrain the impulse to copulate with that thing that makes our Jello
jiggle so much. We beat ourselves to death with guilt. But aren’t we really
just primates with iPods and a curious lust for nirvana?
So yeah. That wild-child, that slobbering Neanderthal hiding in my DNA, is
thrilled about the break-up. He wants me to run amok, club new conquests
and drag ‘em home, and to be a bit of a ‘ho as I move into this next phase
of my life. But fortunately, at forty, my priorities have changed a bit. I recognize my vices, know their triggers, and can see them approaching like a
pimp in a loud-ass purple suit. Sex and drugs is one of my vices (yes, ‘is’,
the two form one evil little vice), and emotional stress is its trigger.
I’ve gone on binges. The trigger is always that hollow vacuum that remains
in the wake of a love’s departure. Drugs and sex filled that hole, or rather,
made me whole … at least for one weekend, or a memorable lust-driven
Tuesday night.
A tsunami of depression always followed, and I was emptier than before.
The only way to overcome that new suffocating hollowness was with more
drugs. Who’d have thought euphoria-inducing narcotics could be so addictive?
Forty tells me that I can never fill my emptiness with drugs or sex; that it’s
like stuffing a hole with air. Try as you might, it’s still there when you’re
done. Forty tells me that my life is my own to either enjoy or fuck-up, and
the only person in control of that is me. The only filling for that hole has
always been me.
So this is a great break-up actually. Free from all the self-destructive things
I used to do to distract myself from the situation, and the pain. I focus on
my goals for myself and that keeps the stress away. Yeah. I’m doing me
again, and good things for other people too—things more rewarding than
meaningless sex and questionable highs. ‘Cause bottom line, just like that
knobby-kneed little boy who became so adapt at running for his life, I’ve
always been special. And sex should be special too. Without ‘special’, all a
hot-blast leaves you with is some strange man’s cum in your eye.
Yeah. Eeww! Forty reminded me of that. Thank God for Forty.
Twenty and I made up since the MySpace incident though (possibly for the
earth-shattering make-up sex which kinda sorta makes a fight worthwhile)
and things have quietly slipped back into gear. We haven’t discussed the
causes of our riff and will surely revisit them after this new batch of words
and smelly socks, but for now, there’s a cease-fire in effect on 5th Street.
And it’s nice. And it’s just in time for my forty-first birthday.
But hey, you know what … I broke up with my boyfriend on MySpace. Pretty fuckin’ cool for an ol’ dude, ya think?

After taking the world by storm with last year’s
mega-hits “1,2 step” and “Goodies,”, Ciara is
back with another disc full of goodies. Now
that Bow Wow is gone (he left her for me) she
had time to get to work. And she did. Number 2
on my chart is the first track on the disc and it starts
the party right. Another swicth beat crunk jam featuring Lil Jon. Then there’s the ballad that’s storming the charts right now, “Promise” which features
an amazing video and makes my boi Joel dance xxxtra
sexy 2. “Can’t Leave Him Alone” features 25, Imean, 50
cent who although we don’t give press cause he’s a hater...
it’s an iight track. Skip it and listen to “C.R.U.S.H.,” “Bang
It Up,” “Get In Fit In,” and of course the first #1 single“Get
Up.”. Hit after hit she’s fast becoming the queen to beat.
Her recent interview on Wendy Williams was funny 2 ...
check VH1 for repeats, but buy the disc NOW.

I just did 2 release parties for Gwen and the label is pushing this disc in a great way. The
promo’s included her hottest press shots ever,
CD’s, a brand new Full Length Concert DVD,
and The Sweetest Escape...Gwen Stefani Candy Bars. Yes, candy bars and they were even
embossed with her new G key logo...but that’s
just the press. What about the music? It’s about
100 times better than the last, and I loved the
last CD. The two tracks you must checkout are:
the first single “Wind It Up” andthe pop hit and
title track ‘Sweet Escape,” which features Akon
and Pharrell in a way you haven’t heard before.
Plus my personal faves: “Don’t get It Twisted”
and “Yummy.” Its a brilliant pop-hop CD and
nearly every track is either a future classic or
so 80’s it sounds already classic. If you don’t
love this disc, u got boring tastes. Expand from
the south, take over of the Young Jeezy styled
tracks, and take the Sweet Escape.

FLAVALIFE Penetration
Is Liberation
By: Reginald T. Naji-Allah
Twenty years ago, I stood in front of a group of
Black gay men at the Gay Men of African Descent safer sex workshop and asked: “Can all
the bottoms raise your hands?” What I wanted
was to separate the bottoms from the tops so
I could address sex issues from each. Not one
person raised their hands. I was so upset, I said:
“Ok, come on. Not one of you is a bottom? So,
I am the only bottom in New York? Ok, who are
all of you fucking, because you’re not all fucking me!!!”
That was my rude awakening about the secret
life of bottoms. I had no idea that there was
something so “bad” about being a bottom that
I should have been ashamed and should have
lied about loving to receive anal penetration
from my lover. It was at that very moment that I
decided to hold up the blood stained banner for
bottoms all over the world. I coined the phrase:
Penetration is Liberation. This phrase was featured in the Marlon Riggs video Affirmations
and was played all over the country; including
the floor of Congress. It declared my love of
anal penetration and forever identified me as a
proud, open, and eager bottom.
Twenty years later, I have found that nothing
has changed and I am very, very, disappointed.
I did some research and found that if you look
online on the popular gay male websites, i.e.
adam4adam.com or men4now.com, you will
find an equal amount of Black gay men who list
themselves as bottoms as tops; but when you
speak to these men in public or in person they
will deny that they are bottoms. The new catch
phrase that everyone is using is “versatile.” Everyone is claiming to be “versatile” these days,
until, of course they get behind closed, locked,
and bolted doors. Then they come out the closet
as 100-percent total bottoms; just like me!!!
So what is the big deal? Why all the lying and
drama? Well, somehow it is still looked at as a
feminine role. If you are the bottom in the relationship, you are seen as the woman in the
relationship. Why we are still letting heterosexual roles define our relationships, I do not
know; but it is true. It is not sexual positions
that make you a man. In fact, I know a lot of
full-time dragqueens and transgendered men
who are 100-percent total tops and they live
their lives in female clothes everyday. In fact,
men pay good money to have sex with shemales and love to give it up to them as their
bottoms. One friend told me of an encounter
he had with a Black “straight” male that picked
him up at a gay bar for sex. When they got back
to the hotel, the man told him a tale of how his
very straight, beautiful, female wife had turned
him out with a strap-on dildo. She got sexually
excited by fucking him on a regular basis, and
he had gotten so use to it that he would hire
gay men to fuck him at least once a month. He
still was “straight,” still loved his wife, wanted
to be with his wife, and make love to his wife,
but needs to be fucked on a regular basis.
So what is so good about anal penetration that
would make even a “straight” Black man pay
for it? Well, the reality is that the rectum and
the female vagina are both lined with the same
four inches of pleasure giving tissue. That is to
say, that the rectum and female vagina is filled
with four inches of tissue that is designed to
give you extreme physical pleasure from penetration. So men and women get the same
amount of physical pleasure whether it is penetration in the vagina or the rectum. So people
who say the rectum is not a sexual organ are
wrong. People who say that the rectum is only
an exit, not an entrance, are wrong. People who
ask what could you possible get out of letting
someone penetrate you that way, should know
that the same thing any woman gets from letting you penetrate her in the vagina, we can
get from letting someone penetrate us in our
rectum. Get it?! It feels damn, damn, good and
everyone who has ever really allowed themselves to experience it can attest. So bottoms
need to stop acting like they are making a big
sacrifice for their lover every time they give it
up, and tops need to stop acting like they cannot explain why bottoms like to give it up on a
regular basis. It is truly the “Pleasure Principle”
at play here. If it didn’t feel good, men would
not do it, and you know that.
Now, what will it take to get other real bottoms
to come out? Why is it still a stigma to admit
you love anal pleasure? I think it takes a real
man to not only admit what he likes in bed, but
to demand it. I have always thought that the
bottoms were the real men in the relationship.
We definitely have the power and control in the
relationship. If we do not give you somewhere
to put it, you do not have anywhere to put it. We
can buy a dildo, what can you tops buy? We can
go much longer without it than you tops can. We
can please ourselves in other ways and leave
penetration as the cake or even the icing on the
cake. You guys go crazy if you cannot stick it in
something on a regular basis. You walk around
like a hunter with a loaded gun looking for any
excuse to shoot something.
Tops need to admit that bottoms are the real
men and stop this charade that there is something wrong with anal penetration. Bottoms
need to stop acting like they do not exist or
that they only submit to anal penetration as a
chore or obligation to their partner. If we are
both honest about our sexual desires, we will
empower each other and be able to live more
positive lives. So, bottoms, come out and take
your place as the real men you are. Remember,
Penetration is Liberation!!
Winter Explosion 2007
By Ebony Pyramid Entertainment
For the past 12 years, Ebony Pyramid Entertainment has kicked-off a winter ski get-a-way. It’s
latest is called: Winter Explosion and its scheduled to take place February 16-19, 2007. This year’s
theme is “The Best Is Yet To Come” and the legendary R&B Diva Chaka Khan has been booked as
the featured performer. People interested in attending this hot event are urged to pre-register as
soon as possible, since the event is quickly selling out.
The Winter Explosion 2007 has a twelve-year history starting in 1995 in Binghamton, New York.
It became so popular that by 1996, Don eL Johnson collaborated with James Saunders, of New
York, and JT Mosley, of New Jersey, to add buses from Washington, D.C., New York, and the New
Jersey areas. In 1997, over 150 Black gay men and women attended what was then renamed in
1998 as the official Winter Explosion. Also, in 1998, the Winter Explosion added many other exciting events to make the weekend a full celebration for Black gay men and women ski enthusiasts
and non-ski enthusiasts.
All attendees will receive roundtrip transportation from Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New York,
or New Jersey to the plush, four-star, Hudson Valley Resort that has been reserved exclusively for
Winter Explosion Weekend Members. Breakfast and dinner will be provided as well as various
other exciting events and themed dances, performances, fashion shows, and worship services.
There is also a health club and spa for those looking for further pampering at an extra price.
For more information on prices and events, please visit www.winterexplosion.com.

FLAVALIFE Blogs That Matter
by Victor Hoff
(Disclaimer: I will not discuss blogs written by writers appearing in FlavaLife.)
Blogs. They’re like Starbucks now. But not too long ago they existed mainly in obscure corners of
the Internet. Electronic journals written mostly by forward thinking people with a point of view,
blogs have become ubiquitous. But, unlike Visa, they are not necessarily everywhere you want to
be. Blogs have exploded in popularity because a number of confluences have come together at
just the right moment. One, people have a need to tell their stories. Two, the Internet has allowed
people to communicate with each other in a way that simply wasn’t possibly until about ten years
ago. And, three, people crave fame. Blogs exploit all of these things. But having a point of view and
then being able to convey that point of view in a way that keeps people coming back for more are
two entirely different things. And because there are so many wonderfully executed blogs out there,
I decided to introduce this column. So over the next few issues, I will be discussing some of the
blogs that I like either because they are well written, funny, or simply bring something to the table
that is sorely missing in today’s dialog. They also all have something in common besides a focus on
issues that are of immediacy to the Black and Latino communities. They work. So, without further
adieu and in no particular order:
KeithBoykin
www.KeithBoykin.com
I first fell in love with Keith when he debuted in Showtime’s reality program, “American Candidate.”
His passion, intellect, and just plain damn good looks had me voting Boykin for President. But Keith
is more than just a pretty face. He’s a seasoned policy wonk that worked at the Clinton White House
and has had a long and distinguished career as a public intellect. His blog is as artfully designed,
as his writing is informative. He posts a veritable encyclopedic array of cultural observations that
range from sports to entertainment to politics. But it’s his writing style that wins most fans over.
He’s smart without being pedantic. He’s the face of a new generation of civil rights leaders that
makes being homosexual normal, even boring. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But
there are few writers in the Blogosphere today who can match his accomplishments and if they can
they’re not nearly as handsome.
BrothaSoul
http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-.vAB4YIzaamMEMkOy3F9DMnl
Okay. So it doesn’t have the high-gloss polish of a Keith Boykin blog but, brother, this boy can write.
His blog is set up through a Yahoo-based blogging service so the link is really complicated but it is
well worth your time to visit him so you can see for yourself what this man has to offer. And, unfortunately he doesn’t blog nearly as much as he should (Hint? What? Huh?). But with poetry like this
who cares: “[fucked haiku] It’s fucked up when you/Realize you have no one. Or/ is it blessed?” Or
this nugget: “I’m fucked up because/I’m scared of living the right way./No – that’s not it…” And in
a day and age where cute and flip has replaced profound and deep, it’s refreshing to find someone
who has bypassed glitz for gold and touches a part of us that for so many has become replaced by
sexed up images and celebrity going-ons.
Made In Brazil
madeinbrazil.typepad.com
If you have to hate an entire country for one thing and it has to be Brazil, then hate them for the
sheer number of beautiful men they produce relative to their population. Brazil is literally awash
in some of the most beautiful people in the world. And no one reports on them with more style
than Made in Brazil. It’s the unquestioned leader of all things Brazilian. There are notes on style,
fashion, men, music, television, men, movies, and, of course, did I mention the men? It’s written in
a straightforward style and filled with lots of hot pics and video. It’s easy to navigate and until you
become a regular reader you won’t realize how influential Brazil is in the larger cultural landscape.
Their motto is “Brazilianizing The World, One Day At A Time.” All I can say is: Thank God there is 365
days in any given year!

when the series debuted on Logo, the first LGBT cable network, in late 2005 the black gay community tuned in with high expectations. Images of black men kissing and making love on screen
have touched even those who wouldn’t consider themselves “fans” of the show. Love it or hate it,
everyone’s got something to say.
After two successful seasons Noah’s Arc has come under scrutiny recently, including even by some
of the very folks who initially praised the show. Some critics feel the characters do not properly
represent black gay men. They ask, “why are the seasons so short?”, ‘why is the femininity so extreme?”, etc. Noah’s Arc is in limbo, for a second time with its viewers unaware if it will return for a
third season. Can Logo really leave us with a car crash not knowing if Wade and his boyfriend Dre
survived? In a candid interview with Patrik he discusses some of the “concerns” Noah’s Arc fans
have, the future of the show, his own upcoming projects and much more.
This has been an amazing year for you. From
the success of Noah’s Arc to working on your
new film Blackbird. How has your life changed
with mainstream success?
Patrik: Life is busier; I think that’s probably the
biggest difference. Collectively I’m a lot busier
than I was before. I wouldn’t classify myself as
a starving artist anymore, but I still work just as
hard, I still have just as much passion and drive.
My life as a whole hasn’t changed that much
– there are just not enough hours in the day.
I read an interview where you said the white
gay press weren’t supporting Noah’s Arc – can
you expand on that?
Patrik: I don’t feel like we’ve gotten an adequate amount of support from the white gay
press in terms of magazine covers. It’s interesting, you see a show like Dante’s Cove, which is
on the Here! Network and arguably has a smaller outfit then Logo -- which has the support of
MTV/Viacom behind it. Other than the networks
behind them, the only big difference between
Dante’s Cove and Noah’s Arc is that one is predominately white and the other is predominately black. Yet Dante’s Cove has been on the
cover of Genre, Out and all these national gay
magazines. On the other hand we [Noah’s Arc]
only just recently landed a national gay magazine cover and that was just one of our actors
on the cover of The Advocate. We haven’t been
on the cover of Genre, Out or Instinct. If this
were a white show premiering on Logo we
would’ve been on the cover of those magazines, but it is what it is ... I don’t spend too
much time focusing on it.
Let me preface this by saying - I realize the show is not a documentary on
black life, but I have to ask this question. Some people have criticized the
show because they feel like it doesn’t
accurately represent black gay people -what’s your take on that?
16 FLAVALIFE
Patrik: Well, I think black gay people are just as
diverse as anybody else. There are just as many
different types of black gay people as there are
people. So, we suffer the unfair burden of being the only show of this kind. Now that Queer
As Folk and Will & Grace are gone we are the
only show that has a predominately gay male
cast. We’re certainly the first all black show of
this kind. The reality is there are a lot of expectations put on us because people haven’t seen
a show like this. Gay black men haven’t seen
themselves represented in this way before, and
so every gay black man is going to watch this
show, and want it to represent their personal
experience of being a black gay male. There’s
no way one show can do that … it’s a show
about four guys, four specific guys, their friendship and there lives -- I cannot be expected to
represent every black gay man in America. The
same way Sex & the City can’t be expected to
represent every white woman, or every woman, in the country, the same holds true here.
We’re the first, being the first has its upsides
and downsides -- that’s one of the downsides.
Everyone looks to this show to represent who
they are as black gay men. We’re one show with
eight episodes a season and we just can’t do it.
I think we do a good job of representing who
these characters are and I think they represent
a lot of black gay men in different ways. They’re
interesting characters, well-rounded characters,
but obviously we can’t represent everybody.
Why is the show only eight episodes?
Patrik: It’s a new network, it’s a small network
- they’re not going to have the budget that NBC
or WB would have. It’s just the reality – LOGO is
just a small network right now that’s only available in a small percentage of homes in America
-- this isn’t Prison Break. So, we’re not going to
get millions of dollars. Quite frankly, Logo is a
niche network. So they don’t get the ad dollars
to support spending that kind of money on programming. If they did we’d be doing more episodes of Noah’s Arc and there would be more
FLAVALIFE 17
original scripted series on the network, right
now we are the only scripted series on Logo.
That’s just the reality - people always forget that
it’s a business - Viacom wouldn’t have started a
gay network if there wasn’t money to be made,
but they are not going to be foolish to spend so
much money on it if it doesn’t turn profit. It’s a
balance - quite frankly, we are lucky to have any
at all. Also, it really depends on the amount of
support the show gets. People don’t think of it
like this, but if you like the show, if you want to
see more, you have to support it. You have to
support stuff -- if the DVDs were going off the
shelves in record numbers they’d be inclined to
do more. It has to makes sense financially.
I don’t know how true this is, but I want to clear
this up. Do you have two white female writers
on the show?
Patrik: No.
Are all the writers black and gay?
Patrik: I have two writers that work with me,
both British - one is black and one is white, and
both gay.
Is it true the show is not coming back for a third
season and will be replaced by a white lesbian
show?
Patrik: No, we have not heard about the third
season yet -- I’m crossing my fingers! Logo is
in production on a new lesbian show that I believe has a predominately white cast called, The
Rules, but that show does not have anything to
do with their decision to bring Noah’s Arc back
or not. As the network grows they will continue
to do more series, they will expand and develop
other shows as well, but one has nothing to do
with the other. The hope is that they will decide
to bring us back – we are expected to hear by
the end of the year.
The show has been criticized for having masculine-feminine male relationships. Some people
feel the show is trying to emulate heterosexual
relationships – how do you feel about that?
Patrik: I think we do a good job of representing
a lot of different kinds of gay men and a lot of
different kinds of relationships. It’s also a question of perspective, some people look at the
Chance and Eddie relationship, which I think
is a very even relationship - they happen to be
more intellectual and they’re not thuggish and
hip-hop, but so what? That doesn’t make them
any less masculine. I look at Ricky’s relationship;
I think they are on pretty equal ground when
it comes to levels of masculinity or femininity.
Some of the relationships, Noah and Wade, are
a bit more masculine and feminine, or Trey and
Alex, but those exist, there are plenty of those
out there -- plenty.
There’s also this issue that people forget: a lot of
black gay men have internalized homophobia.
There are a lot of black gay men who don’t identify as black gay men and who still try on the
surface to lead heterosexual lifestyles, or appear
18 FLAVALIFE
heterosexual even if they lead completely gay
lifestyles when it comes to romance and sex.
They are more likely to involve themselves with
extremely feminine men as opposed to masculine men. People call them “trade” for lack of
a better term; there are tons of men who are
basically gay, but would never identify as such,
who would tend to go for a very feminine male
because that’s all their psyche can handle. They
kind of reconcile their sexuality with society by
holding onto these heterosexual constructs of
relationships. So, it’s out there -- there’s nothing
on our show that’s not out there on real life. I
think we are kidding ourselves; we’re deluded if
we think the stuff we’re showing on Noah’s Arc
is in no way reflecting reality. It’s not reflecting
all of reality but remember we are just one half
hour show, we can’t do it all.
If Noah’s Arc doesn’t return would you ever go
back to doing a television series, or do you want
to stick with movies?
Patrik: I love both and I hope to always be
able to do both. I hope to do another TV series
anyway -- Noah’s Arc can’t go on forever, but I
certainly hope to do more television because I
love TV.
For people who want to get involved in Hollywood – whether they be gay, a woman, foreigner, or just not what is normally seen in Hollywood -- what advice would you give?
Patrik: The first key is really education. The
way to educate yourself is by reading books
on the industry, magazines and publications. It
kind of depends on what you want to do. Also,
if you can identify people who have done what
you want to do then find out how they did it. The
main thing is be smart about what you want to
do, so many people just have these stars in
their eyes and they want t o come to Hollywood
not really having any clue as to what it’s about.
You can be in Mississippi and go to Amazon.
com and get tons of books that will give you
true insider information on how Hollywood
works, how movies get made – there are so
many resources. It’s not brain surgery, but you
do have to be smart about it like you are smart
about anything.
To support Noah’s Arc you can buy the DVD
wherever DVDs are sold, write to the network
at http://www.logoonline.com/, or purchase the
episodes on iTunes!

MARIO SEQUERRA
AGE: 26 | ZODIAC: Cancer | LOCATION: Miami FL | SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight | RELATIONSHIP
STATUS: Single | COMPEXION: Light | HAIR: Black | EYES: Black | WEIGHT: 165 | HEIGHT: 5’8”
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder – behold THIS! We found Mario Sequerra hanging out on
South Beach, soaking up both the sun and some uber-hot attention from men and women alike.
Indeed, it took a lot of nerve to even approach this perfect papi – judging by the stares he gave the
ladies and the ogling he ignored from the men, it was pretty obvious this baby chulo was straight as
they come – but the 26-year-old shorty was open to discussion when asked to pose for FlavaLife.
“I like people looking at me,” he admits with no shame (there is no shame in the game of this
sexy-ass Puerto Rican with the thick accent, and thicker – well, anyway …). “I grew up a
pudgy little punk who ran the streets and ate a lot of junk food. My nickname, when I was
little, was gordito (little fat one). I’ve come a long way since then.”
HELL, yeah. At only 5’8”, this papi packs more raw sexuality into his face, physique and
attitude – without trying – than more porn stars can muster up in a dozen films. And
when ya tell Mario that, the cockeyed smile that turns up one corner of his mouth just
a little more than the other tells you he’s both proud and sure of his charisma.
“It’s embarassin’, sometimes; I got both the guys and the ladies slipping me numbers
at clubs … the beach … even in da grocery store. It don’t m ean nothing, ‘cause they
don’t know me and dat’s important.” (That crooked smile comes out again.) “But
once in awhile – well, ya know – a guy gots his needs.”
But only for the ladies, it seems; when Mario opens his wallet and draws out a
few slips of paper, with names and numbers on them (“Serena”, in particular,
has two stars scrawled next to her digits), there ain’t a guy’s name in the bunch.
Mario confirms the worst (well, the worst as far as breaking a gay dude’s heart,
anyway.)
“Naw, I toss those away,” he replies, when asked about the lack of testosterone.
“Maybe once in awhile give one or two to this one gay dude I know at the gym.
But I don’t play that; I could goof on gay dudes and get whatever I want outta them
– money, presents, whatever – without giving up my piece or nothing. But I ain’t
like dat. I tell the dudes right up that I am all about tha females.”
Still, close-up to Mario, his masculinity and charisma can make even the most
professional of gay man break into a sweat, so the topic switches to his flawless
physique – and how it got that way. But leave it to Mario to bring the convo back to
sex.
“I work out five, sometimes six days a week at (popular South Beach gym). Once I
dropped all the weight, about 7-8 years ago, I wanted to tone everything up that was
saggin’. I got kinda obsessed from there.”
He winks. “But that’s why I keep the phone numbers. To me, there ain’t no workout like
sex. I like usin’ my tongue – which I been told is like a velvet-covered snake – and gettin’ a
lady all worked up before I get down to business. I can go a couple hours at a time, easy,
so she’s gotta be able to take it. I like to sweat, sweatin’ to me means you are doin’ it
right, so if I ain’t drenched in it by the time I roll over her (or she rolls off me) … I ain’t
done my job.”
We hear ya, Mario … just these PG-rated pics make us sweat … and we hope to see
more of you in the future …
