Football Gear Fisting

I have uploaded the vid we did at Shadow Falls this summer, finally. Almazmol worked on my ass with both of us in full football gear. We had lots of guys stop by and check out the action, as you'll hear numerous voices throughout the long vid. I wouldn't pay too much to the conversation...it's kind of a "you should've been there" type of situation.

M & H were on the camera, moving the tripod around. Had we planned it all out a bit better, we would've done the lighting better and had the guys roving around with the camera. You get the general idea, anyways.

We had been drinking for most of the day already, thus my inane chattiness!

It's not a masterpiece nor is it high-quality but we still had lots of fun making it.

Gender Bending?

Men in compression tights bend gender norms
Compression tights are the latest trend in men’s fitness, and fashion
Meagan Campbell, Macleans.ca
October 24, 2016

Compression tights are tougher than leotards and sleeker than long johns. They grasp the groin, pressurize blood vessels and enhance muscle definition. Thus, in every athletic context, men are squeezing themselves in sub-torso stretchiness unparalleled since the time of Robin Hood.

“It brings attention to the sculpting,” says Dominique Duncan, a 21-year-old student at Western University. “You work on calves, you can look and see what’s going on.” Without tights, Duncan worries that his muscles get hidden by leg hair. He wouldn’t shave them—grisly texture feels masculine when he’s not working out—so he suits up in compression tights to spotlight his sinews to his gym buddies. “It all comes down to aesthetics,” he says.

Obsession with compression is shifting gender norms. Now that Under Armour, Nike, Everlast and other companies have rebranded tightness as “compression,” men are wearing tights to work out, play football, practise basketball and go for coffee. “What was seen as feminine is being recoded as masculine,” says Ben Barry, an associate professor at Ryerson University who studies masculinity and fashion. “What’s seen as a superficial trend actually asks crucial questions and moves us closer to gender equality.”

The new tights are equally popular across genders. “For the university CIS [Canadian Inter-University Sport] league, I don’t know any player who doesn’t wear them,” says Will Ratray, equipment manager for the men’s and women’s varsity hockey teams at Mount Royal University in Calgary. A 19-year-old hockey player himself, Ratray estimates he owns 10 pairs of compression tights and shorts. “The only thing [we] don’t like about them is the price.”

Averaging $50, compression tights are marketed as technological marvels. “They’re not just for looks,” Under Armour reminds online shoppers. Supposedly, their compression products quicken blood flow, and rather than trapping sweat inside, suck heat away from the body and dispel odour with a “water transport system.” Duncan doesn’t notice such benefits but appreciates the comfort in the crotch: “It keeps everything together, if you understand what I’m saying. There’s nothing wagging all over the place.”

Psychologically, compression gives impressions of security. Marco Walker-Ng, a personal trainer in Vancouver, recommends athletes wear compression T-shirts, compression underwear and compression socks; if they’re basketball players, add compression sleeves for their arms. “It feels good to have your muscles wrapped up,” he says. “You almost feel locked and loaded and ready to go.”

Tights have been validated as manly because they originated in athletics, but they’re sneaking beyond the gym. When Ben Barry entered the wardrobes of 50 men for his research, he learned that they had adopted compression tights as an “everyday staple”—meeting friends for coffee, fetching children from school, and grocery shopping all with their calves squeezed into Nike’s newest number.

Men’s office clothes and streetwear are also tightening. While women have started wearing billowing bottoms called “parachute pants,” men’s outfits are narrowing. “Fifty years ago, nobody would’ve thought men’s suits would be so slim and body-revealing,” says Barry. He adds that men’s casual tops are “also playing on the feminine silhouette.”

The problem with tighter clothing, sometimes called “body-conscious clothing,” is exclusivity. Barry criticizes the terms “slim fit” and “skinny jeans” and urges society not to tease anyone for trying tights. “Which men’s bodies are allowed to wear these tights?” he wonders. “The bodies we see are certainly not fat bodies, not disabled bodies.”

Neither do we see all body parts. Men still tend to wear baggy shorts over their tights—“the waist, the butt, the crotch are being concealed,” notes Barry. “There’s certainly a private/public distinction.” However, time may pull back the curtains, and men may start letting tights accentuate their sculpting in entirety. Barry assures, “Anything is possible.”

That this is considered a gender issue on some fronts is sorta funny.

Very nice BC predicament!

Gumminesing

Gumminese arrived in Vancouver Friday night. We took Mr. P to the River Rock Casino to play slots for his bday for awhile, then we went back to the condo and I put Gumminese in the sleepsack with electro, and proceeded to edge him, with a bit of breathcontrol and some hood changes added in for fun. He ended up stewing in the sleepsack for almost four hours! It was fun however by the end we were exhausted - it was 4am after all. We called it quits for the night.

In the morning we got ready and went to meet CJRos for lunch; Gumminese was on his way back to Seattle at 18:30 so he came back and grabbed his stuff before we left for Meat Draw in the afternoon and the two of them went and checked out Chinatown before Gumminese had to catch his ride.

It was great of him to make the effort to come up and visit. Such a sweetheart!
Check out his Tumblr: gumminese.tumblr.com. He's a bigger rubber pig than I am! :D

Mr. P and I stayed at home Saturday night, Sunday I curled and Wardog came over for cuddles in the evening...the stormy weather has completely sucked the energy out of me. Hopefully some of the activity this week will change that.

I have a booking with MetaverseXXX for a filming tonight, hopefully a good opportunity to get a good pounding; I haven't been fucked in weeks and weeks. There are lots of other things going on this week including Wardog's birthday on Thursday; I'm going to give his hole a hard workout as his birthday gift. Rob's 60th bday is on Friday; we're planning a surprise roast for him, and then on Saturday we're having a Shadow Falls Reunion Potluck out in the suburbs.

Three weeks to go!

TEN

Today, ten years ago, I kicked off this paltry blog with a timid "Hello out there? Are there any other rubber perverts in listening range?"

I'm very happy to say I heard back, loud and clear, that there are lots of you horny sexy rubbermen out there! It changed my life.

All of us chanting, "We're here, we're hot and we're horny!".

It's been a great ride; thank you to all of you that have taken the time to drop by: to beat off to pics, to read my rants, to check out my latest rubbersexual conquests, to comment on the things that you are motivated to comment on, and to provide feedback and suggestions.

Throughout the entire decade I've tried to stick to my original mission statement - that I didn't want to commercialize this blog; it was never about the money, it's always been about the need to write down my thoughts, describe my adventures, capture the world in pics, and talk about the things that turn me on and make me tick. I can certainly say, looking back on the beginnings and what moved me to start the blog in the first place, that I have certainly evolved. I was once a closeted rubber pervert in a monogamous vanilla relationship, feeling trapped, frustrated, and alone. Ten years later, I'm an out and proud, confident, unabashedly social, promotional, and sexual community organizer and rubber perverter/influencer/converter.

People all over the world know who I am, I run into these guys all the time that read my blog and have taken something from it to apply to their own evolution (at least I hope it's in a positive way!)

I think the reason so many guys trying to figure out their sexual fetishes and sexual identities found the format of this blog appealing was that I have always wanted this to be a journal of sorts. Given the gaps in memory I have, I am so happy I did do it this way. Granted, the format is very (sorta?) public, a few years ago I had peaked at around 450 unique viewers hitting the blog everyday; now it's down to around 300, and that is perfectly fine with me. I never wanted attention or spotlight, I always just wanted communication, sharing of ideas....and maybe a bit of ego stroking! haha

I had made the effort quite a few years ago to find some similarity in how all of us rubbermen evolved to the place we're at, and found that despite us all being on different points on the spectrum, most of us do come from similar beginnings. This has been a fascinating driver of my fetish ever since. To know that we all share some similarities in our origin stories and have materials and situations and fantasies that drive our sexual lives has been a huge motivator for me. I've always been a gearhead - since as early as I can remember, and I long ago decided there wasn't any reason to be ashamed of it or any reason to hide it. Thus you see the Rubber Canuck that stands before you today: shiny, sweating, seething and loving every minute of it.

Thank you, you fucking perverts. Thank you for everything.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

I was elated to find out that Gumminese is coming to visit me this weekend? He's making a deviation from Seattle to traipse up to Vancouver for 24 hours. I'll make sure it's worth his trip! There should be lots of vacuum bondage and full rubber flying around the condo starting tomorrow night. :)

Rubberstud of the Week #442

Ass Enhancer

Trust the homos at Latex'd to create a latex tailoring feature as a special order.....an anatomic crotch and an ass enhancement.

"Pouch with extra pattern for better fit and comfort"
"Gives your ass a nice ample shape"

Anal sheath or ass enhancement? Both sound equally delicious.

TRM invade MIR

The Toronto Rubbermen are going to Mister International Rubber this year. Not only that but they are planning to have a booth at the MIR Rubber Market where rubberboys can take pictures, but also they will be offering rubber shining services for those in an emergency. TRM will be selling lube at the upcoming Rubbermen Meet this Saturday at The Black Eagle Toronto and all proceeds will go to their expenses to make the booth and the butt-shining happen.

If you're in Toronto this weekend, go meet the Toronto Rubbermen on Saturday night!

Falling

Well, that was a fun weekend! It was a very full busy one.

Friday night after meat draw and not winning the Granville Island Trip to Vegas contest, we went home and I started getting the house ready for Muscleboy's arrival. He showed up at 10:30, I immediately put him in the vac-tower and applied hoods and breath control equipment on him.

After about 90 minutes I put him into a rubber suit and put him in the sling. I applied electro with M's new stim patterns to his cock and balls, and kept him tied up for another couple hours moaning from the rising and falling crescendos of e-stim application. In the meantime I was putting more hoods and gasmasks on him, fucked him and played with his ass for awhile until I put the Tadpole in his ass and let him stew in his electro heaven for another bit of time until I released him, fucked him and sent him home. I think he was pretty happy with his experience, he really wants to come back soon. He left around 2:30, I finally got finished cleaning up at 3:30.

Up at 10, I started prepping for the Vancouver Rubbermen Pumpkin Pigs meet at Pumpjack. I had a couple guys help me set up once I got there. It ended up being a really fun event, many more guys than during the summer for sure, four guys ended up trying out the vac-tower, and Pup Sushi went into the sleepsack for about 90 minutes.

I got home around 5:30, ran out for some Japanese with a good friend I haven't seen in a long time, and then found out Mr. P brought some friends home after meat draw, so I guess we were hosting a party! Five volcano bowls later, everyone was ripped and most were gone home by 1am. Wardog was over for the party and stayed the night, we played on each others holes until 3 or so.

Up at 10:30, gave Wardog a quick bone before getting up; I had to curl at noon. S and T picked me up at 11:20. We won our game and I was home again around 3:30. Wardog and Mr. P were still napping, I was still horny so worked on my hole with dildos, gave Mr. P a bj in bed, then ate, then Mr. P and I went to a friend's bday party at 7. We were home around 9, I told Wardog to be ready for assplay when we got there. He was ready, we played until midnight or so, then I went to bed tired.

I'm supposed to be playing with a rubber bud from the Island tomorrow but he's in Richmond and I'm downtown. He admitted that he felt awkward the last time we played as Mr. P was in the other room. I'm not sure what to make of it; maybe we should just go out for some drinks.

I have a handsome ginger guy coming over on Thursday for some fisting. Then suddenly, it's Thanksgiving Long Weekend!  Mr. P's birthday dinner on Friday, Meat Draw and Rubberfest on Saturday, Thanksgiving Dinner and RUFF on Sunday. Mr P's birthday on Monday. Lots and lots to get done, for sure.
