All the titles in the auction include the word gay. They are marketing to the gay community. So who cares if its too personal.
betcha their gay readers like it.

ROFL gg! I just KNEW someone was going to ask me that!

Actually I was leaving feedback for one of my semi-regular buyers and he had received feedback from this seller, and the About Me logo was there, so I clicked on it. Not really nosy, just like to look at other AM pages to see how they look...and WOW!

I was actually speechless when I originally posted the link, so didn't say much. Did you see the note at the bottom, "we are more than happy to customize your item before we ship. Just write us to let us know what you want. Email us at [email protected] We'll get back to you within a day or two. I'm sure we can probably come to some sort of agreement." WOW!

I was thinking the same thing! I can't get prices like that on new suits LOL! But then again I don't model them (and not a male).

Neroter - I am knocking their lifestyle, it was the graphic nature of the AM page that triggered my "OMG!".

Sounds/looks like they're trying to sell the CD more than the swimsuit.

I don't care that he is gay, to each his own. But those photos are just...yuck. Of course I'm one of those that thinks men should NEVER wear Speedo's.

Actually, the photos were no worse than some auctions I've seen featuring women wearing either very little or very revealing clothing.

Seem like a couple of boys enjoying the big apple. Hehe, they ain't hurtin me. All their auctions were bought by the same buyer... and one of his other sellers has a store called http://stores.ebay.nl/LycraStud

Caution this website has a gallery that brings to mind a certain word... mm ....ah...yes! codpiece! I have to add it looks likes the profile of an Armenian.

Oh? Were the women in the auctions openly advertising for a sexual partner to complete a threesome?

None of you picked up on that. That's hilarious!

Nothing like some good old soft-gay-porn to brighten your shopping experience. What the hell is wrong with these people.....

Some say it is genetic, some say it is an abomination of God. Guess it depends on how well you ignore facts in favor of belief.

parky, I used to sell at flea markets with a gay man. (We compared notes on the hunky guys strolling past.) He has an identical twin, who is also gay. He has another brother who is gay and one who is not.

I don't know if that lends credence to the genetics theory or not but I thought it was interesting.

Yuck!

We have 2 dear friends who are gay, but definitely not the "tacky", advertise type, but professional men. That is to say, they don’t run around flipping their wrists, or wearing Speedo’s. One of them is the dearest, kindest person I've ever met....I love them - but I don't agree at all with their private life style.

How did we ever encounter them, they became good customers at our brick and mortar antique shop, and VERY good customers, who became friends.

Oddly enough, we head a local "home church," and naturally we don't as yet have a baptismal pool, for baptisms, so we borrow their majestic custom swimming pool when there are folks who are ready for baptism!
