Guest Post from Avitable: I’m Coming Out
 

Welcome to Jestertunes! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Feel free to leave a comment, read through the archives, and enjoy yourself. See you again real soon!

The Church of AvitableWhen Jester asked me to write a guest post, I realized that this was my chance to speak up for the straight male. Since, obviously, every member of Jester’s audience except for me is a gay male, I know that there are a lot of stereotypes and assumptions made about straight men, what they do, and how they think. And finally, I can set the record straight, as the unofficially appointed spokesperson for the straight American male.

So here you go, gays - a day in the life of the typical straight male:

I usually wake up to my iPod alarm playing one of my favorite bands, whether it’s ABBA, Concrete Blonde, Britney, Lindsay, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Ani DiFranco, Indigo Girls, K’s Choice, Hillary Duff, or Avril Lavigne. I’ll lie in bed for a little while jamming to the music before waking up. Then, it’s off to the shower where I pamper myself with a nice pomegranate mango body wash, wash my face and hair with some Aveda facial moisturizer and Aveda rosemary mint shampoo, and moisturize with some excellent BBW vanilla and brown sugar body lotion.

My work takes up most of my day, but I spend some time on the web, reading The Superficial and Perez Hilton, talking about the Bachelor on a message board, and catching up on last night’s Oprah.

When I get home, I’ll make a nice cosmopolitan or a sour apple martini and watch a recorded show on the DVR. Whether it’s old episodes of Gilmore Girls or Six Feet Under, it will put me in a relaxing mood, and if I’m feeling particularly festive, I’ll put in a DVD - usually something by Pedro Almodovar or Sofia Coppola, or maybe watch Torch Song Trilogy, Chuck and Buck, or Priscilla again.

And then, after a normal night, I’ll go to bed and usually dream about Legolas, that middle Hanson girl, or that scene in All the Right Moves. And the cycle continues. Well, except for holidays, when I’ll have a nice spiced cider and sit around and rock out to Meredith Brooks while watching Tyra - she is such a bitch!

So, hopefully, after reading this, some of you insensitive fuckers will realize that us straight men are sick of being stereotyped and judged for things you think we do. Gay men like to lock us in the closet of prejudice and make snap judgments. Well, here’s one straight man who is asking - nay, demanding, to be let out.

You like Concrete Blonde? I want to fuck you right now.

I’m really glad you set the record straight. After hearing all of this, I really can’t imagine why people would think you were gay. At all. No, srsly.

I think the only thing you left out was perhaps the most important distinction of all… the moment when you make sweet sweet love to Mrs. Avitable.

That you also left out the fact that you fantasize about Stone Phillips while in the midst of said love making is hardly the point.

Thanks for offering up your completely-heterosexual-in-every-possible-way view point.

I don’t fantasize about Stone Philips - he’s way too old. Although I do have fleeting thoughts of Rupert Grint during sex . . .

I guess I should stop making fun of my fiance for always moisturizing and giving himself manicures.

Mistress Yoda wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 4:58 am

 
 

Well, Rupert Grint is legal now… maybe you should trade him in for a newer model?

jester wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 5:04 am

 
 

What makes this all so hysterical is how true it all is. (Except for that Tyra bit - you know you LOVE her!!)

but you left own what type of underwear is a necessity in your hetero world…

i’m not sure why, but i think that might be important info.

hello - I have it on pretty good authority that Avitable wears these: http://manstouch.com/pics/mf0455.jpg

Actually, I wear these

mmmmmmmmmmm! jester “thank you” doesn’t seem to cover it, but thank you anyway. i’m loving the first photo. going back to it was enough to lighten the scar that avi’s picture seared into my brain. unfortunately i couldn’t make your second link work. i blame my *shudder* pc.

hellohahanarf wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 5:58 am

 
 

oh fuck! shoot me! i just made that awful link work. how about a little warning next time?!??!

hellohahanarf wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 6:00 am

 
 

Hello - I thought you might enjoy that first photo. As far as the second link, I can’t accept total responsibility. Those underwear were inspired by Killer.

I got so distracted by the ball bra and the hot stuff photo i forgot what I was going to say…

and now my printer is out of ink…

I can’t imagine how you smell with all those different smelly products you use!

Holy fucking Hell!! I kept repeating in my haed: don’t click the links, especially the Avi one…

Now I know what vomited up coffee and donuts tastes like. Through my nose. Thanks for the experience.

LMAO @ BPR - glad I’m not the only one who wasn’t repulsed. I was thinking mmm…. nice…. LOL

Wow…didn’t realize I was a “gay male”. You learn something new everyday!

Thank GOD you cleared that up!!!

Fab, Tomorrow Wendy - Best. Song. Ever.

Radio, who thinks I’m gay? My daily activities clearly show that I’m as straight as Tom Cruise, Lance Armstrong, or Kevin Spacey!

Mistress Yoda, he knows how to take care of himself, clearly. That’s a totally straight thing to do!

Jester, well, Daniel Radcliffe is hung like a horse. He’ll do.

Britt, she does tell it like it is!

Hello, you asked for it, and I delivered.

BPR, what about the photo I posted? Did you print that one, too?

Summer, well, the Aveda rosemary mint mixes with the pomegranate to give a nice summery smell.

ADW, well, I’m definitely not going to send you those nude Avitable photos that you privately asked for now!

Marge, do you like penises? I think that’s a requirement, too.

Topncal, I’m sorry, but Britney’s first album was awesome, and Lindsay had some great songs on hers, too. Plus she was awesome in Freaky Friday.

TMP, and I didn’t even get into my totally straight butt plug collection!

Avitable wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 7:42 am

 
 

I am soooo tired of that thong pic of me being scattered all over the internet.

The ball-bra looks like a really comfortable product. I might have to order one of those.

Killer wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 7:52 am

 
 

The thing is, it’s all completely true.

Except for maybe the martini part.

Crys wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 7:56 am

 
 

If I didn’t know what a freaky, little control freak you really were I could totally picture you with an appletini hanging out with JD while Turk made fun of both of you.

Amy wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 8:18 am

 
 

I am guess I should be lucky and both the pictures are blocked from work

topncal wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 8:47 am

 
 

I can’t help but wonder that if this is “all true”… then what exactly is the commute time from work to home.

5.6 seconds?

I do believe the iPod alarm, but not the Cosmo or Sour Apple Martini.

NYCWD wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 8:58 am

 
 

so now you have set the record straight.. and we will never doubt your sexuality again… Not that I ever really did… it’s okay.. you can come out now and be that proud straight dude we all know…

You are such a flaming hetero.

Ahem.

Hello???

For some reason, this doesn’t surprise me. Espeically Avitable’s taste in clothing.

Lynda wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 11:55 am

 
 

Killer, I know what you mean. Photos of my balls cover the internet.

Crystal, yup, exactly.

Amy, I’d love to hang out with JD and Turk and have a non-alcoholic appletini!

Topncal, lucky? I’d say UNlucky.

NYCWD, about that, yeah. It’s an easy commute.

Babybull, I’ll come out straight and proud!

Jay, I know! *snap* *snap*

PJ, exactly! Since he’s gay, didn’t you know that meant that his whole audience is gay?

Lynda, wait until you see what I’m wearing for the “Bears of the Southeast” calendar I did.

Avitable wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 12:01 pm

 
 

As one straight, male Jestertunes reader to the other, I gotta ask. Do you do your own highlights or do you have them done somewhere?

othurme wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 12:08 pm

 
 

I am so fag-hagging on you right now! Let’s go shopping!

annie wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 1:51 pm

 
 

Amazing!

At least lube can go either way. No worries there. You can still buy it by the gallon.

themuttprincess wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 2:02 pm

 
 

Othurme, girl, it’s all natural color.

Annie, okay, but you get to watch me try on thongs!

TMP, lube is nature’s equalizer.

Avitable wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 3:33 pm

 
 

Okay, there is only so many pictures of men’s undies I can take in a day, my blood pressure.

Michael wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 6:55 pm

 
 

The ball bra is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. God bless you. If I were dating a guy right now, I would SO get him that nad holder. Sometimes a girl is smart enough to know when a gift needs giving.

liz wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 7:06 pm

 
 

I’m wondering if my husband would mind much if I used that first link as a background on my desktop.

Since I don’t often wear mens underwear, that ball bra just looks uncomfortable. The size of the g-string alone looks horribly painful.

Fogspinner wrote on July 31st, 2007 at 10:53 pm

 
 

Everyone - I want to thank you all for stopping by my neck of the woods to partake of Avitable’s wisdom! If you haven’t been here before, I hope you got the chance to look around and hope you’ll be back sometime soon. I’m hoping I can talk Avitable into another guest post sometime soon. (Hey, I’m all about having great content that *I* don’t have to try and come up with. :) )

Hopefully we can get him to model the Ball Bra.

You’re so metrosexual, I think it’s great. I like Aveda, too. Although I usually use Ambi, which is kinda like Aveda for black people, I think ; )

And I would have thought you were a Jessica Simpson kind of guy… who knew?

I’m with Marge and PJ. I didn’t know I was a gay male. But it certainly explains the giggles I get when someone mentions Ryan Reynolds. Then I started feeling around to see if I felt like a gay male, and I found these…

Now I’m really confused. I’m not sure if that link will work. But trying to MAKE it work distracted me from feeling any further.

Ginamonster - I realize this sounds strange coming from a gay man, but Bravo! :) I highly encourage more readers to submit similar self portraits. (Avitable, I do not consider your repeatedly posting the photo of you wearing Britt’s bikini bottom a sufficient entry. You’ll have to do better.) :)

jester wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 4:13 am

 
 

Wow, Gina, bravo indeed!

And Jester, why doesn’t that photo count? It’s even more revealing than Ginamonster’s.

Avitable wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 4:34 am

 
 

Ginamonster - It’s these kind of comments that remind me why blogging is powerful enough to change the world. If you get one more person to vote you’ve done a great thing.

(It took me four full minutes to realize there was an “I voted” sticker in the picture.)

othurme wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 9:23 am

 
 

And now Jesters’ male readers will participate….who’s first? (He’s seen everything you can imagine from me so I’m going to go ahead and exclude myself from this one.)

Toby wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 10:01 am

 
 

Toby - if you really want to see man boobs, fine, but I don’t have a pretty bra to package them all up in.

othurme wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 10:04 am

 
 

I’m sure Jester will lend you one.

Toby wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 12:11 pm

 
 

Wow, two boobs in a white bra. That’s SO original.
Oh look, there’s a Sears catalog…

annie wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 12:52 pm

 
 

Avitable - It doesn’t count because it was previously submitted. New photos only, please.

Othurme - I think I hear an “I Voted” photo contest being born.

Toby - I must argue here. I think you can only exclude yourself if the said viewings occurred within the last 10 years. Better warm up the camera… and my pretty bras won’t fit Othurme, his cups runneth over.

jester wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 1:53 pm

 
 

Sears….where America goes to see PG rated boobs.

othurme wrote on August 5th, 2007 at 9:24 pm

 
 

Othurme - I thought that was Walmart… or wait, is it still PG if they aren’t wearing bras and flopping around?

jester wrote on August 6th, 2007 at 1:50 am

 
 

Annie darling, if you can’t tell the difference between Victoria’s Secret and Sears, I’m either sorry for you or, envious because I can’t seem to find a $10 bra that fits. Since I don’t like for my coworkers to know what color bra I’m wearing, I’m afraid I tend towards the basics. If ever I shrink from a DD to a B cup, I’ll be sure and buy something cutsie and think of you every time I wear it.

Othurme, I think you have now stared longer at my boobs than any guy in the last uncounted amount of years, and actually, when I tok the picture, I hoped that it WOULD encourage young men to vote. After all, what encourages men more than boobs?

ginamonster wrote on August 6th, 2007 at 10:59 pm

 
 

Gina - Some people have a fetish for plain white bras ya know… I’m not necessarily encouraged by the boobs, but I still plan to vote. :)

jester wrote on August 7th, 2007 at 12:23 am

 
 

Ginamonster - and here I didn’t even give you my letterman jacket.
