In fitting in with today’s theme of the human body is great, good, and need only be covered when cold, I offer a video on manscaping. Many people will ask what is that. It is the removal of body hair from men. Some men don’t like the look or feel of body hair. Plus some people have such a large pubic bush you can’t find their penis. I don’t like a lot of body hair because the man who adopted me and his kids were abusing me, he had lots and they were growing body hair. Since I started on testosterone I started seriously growing body hair everywhere. I look like a walking fur mat, like Chewbacca. I hate it. Ron shaves what I can not reach.
You ask where did I first learn of cutting your armpit and public hair. When I was doing work a special forces reservist training weeks. I got an award for it. I was sitting there listening to these big rugged hairy southern and midwestern men talking about removing their body hair. I timidly asked why. They explained that one thing they are taught is to not smoke, bath with scented soaps, wear deodorant or basically do anything to cause an odor when on missions. That included cutting body hair especially armpit, butt hair, and the pubic hair because they hold and create odor. I started doing it and have all my life. If you have stinky pits, try removing the hair. One thing, if you are not use to being defurred, then don’t take it all the way off, leave a very thin layer as when you shave it tight it can itch growing back. That said I can now keep my pits and crotch totally clear with no grow back itch, I guess my body grew use to it. I imagine women who shave all the time have the same thing. Great video, they blur the man parts out sadly. But the guy still had a nice body. Hugs. Scottie,
Sometimes you need a tidy up down below too… Rodney is a barber by day, but by night he’s a manscaper – and he’s tidied up the hair down below of over 200 clients to date. This is Secret Services – a series exploring alternative ways in which young people are making money.
*** Serious trigger warning for those who are fundamentally against nudity or seeing male sex organs displayed causally in a non-erect state. There is nudity of both female and males, and as the title suggests this is about the penis. So no complaints if you watch and are shocked by it. However I do look forward to the comments on this. ****
To be clear I like penises! Hey I am a gay man, I have most of my life been pretty open about that. I like to see them. In my youth was the time when the huge modesty push was happening in the US, which I think is part of the big anti-trans bathroom issues. People have been indoctrinated that any sight of the nude body of another person is so horrible you are permanently damaged immediately and forever. There was a time when kids showered after PE in open showers. Now it is separate changing and showering stalls. Why, because we teach boys so little about their bodies they have horrible anxiety about their size and look of their own penis. They are also too scared of the subject to ask an adult be it teacher or parent. We adults cause this. When I was in a church boarding school the boys’ dorm had large open shower rooms. If you went to the YMCA it was the same. Nude swimming for males was the norm until the 1970s, and I would have loved it. Even if girls were present, which I have also posted happened to teen boys a lot and was normal in college. I have posted this when called out about it. I loved the nude beaches in Germany as a young guy in the Army. I have no trouble showing my body nude including my penis even at 61 years old, my problem getting nude these days is my rather protruding belly and out of shape body. Yes I know … all human bodies are grand works of art. But some are drawn much better than others. 😁🤣🤷♂️
I think a lot of the current regressive notions of sex and the human body are driven by the strident religious groups working hard to force their regressive social morals on everyone. I have posted about a woman in Utah who was changing in her closed garage and her son burst into the room and seen mommy with no top covering, so got a good view of mommy’s breasts. She was crucified by the legal establishment and labeled a sexual deviant.
To be clear I am talking casual nudity. Not sex in public. Yes that is a turn on for some, but seriously most of the people having public sex are not worth wasting time watching. Plus with so much free stuff on the interwebs, who needs to see it in public places where you might have to explain to your spouse what they are doing. That was a joke. But in places were even the sight of a nude body online is illegal now, it may have to return to for pay circus tent revival affairs, the return to the days of peep shows. Flashers are people who need help, and the thing to do is look and then laugh. I have heard it ruins their entire day.
I am talking people doing every day stuff nude, or clothing optional. I love that in some places you can bike ride or walk about nude. Why not. And yes I look and watch. Why not? The reason we have such sex hang ups is that we have turned one part of the body into a much bigger thing that in reality it is. That was not a joke. We as a society have made that body part a huge mystery never to be talked about. Boys are told never to touch it for pleasure … that is screwed up. They are made afraid of something wonderful for most of them.
Anyway enough intro, you have an idea of what is coming. Enjoy this thought look into the way society has been taught to view the penis. Hugs. Scottie
Why are penises so weird? And why are we so obsessed with how they look? Filmmaker Conor Reilly sets out to explore our complex relationship with willies – by planning to get naked himself. Can he overcome his greatest fear and strip off in front of his nearest and dearest (and a few strangers) in the name of documentary filmmaking?
I was going to put this one lower in the list until I listened closely to the end. In fact I repeated the last half twice to make sure I understood what he was saying. He is the first, maybe only Christ bible pusher who has said openly and publically that conversion to Christianity, that believing in being a good person and treating others the way Jesus talked about lets you have a spot in his fold, his heaven. He specifically doesn’t mention atheists, but he has before. Hugs. Scottie
In the following video Rev Trevors makes clear he not only dislikes the prosperity gospel preachers, he dislikes the message they send for not being biblical. He totally shoots down the new push all these getting rich by preaching people are touting, Christian Nationalism and the idea that the US was founded as a Christian nation. He also at the end says something many not watch long enough to hear. He says that not only do these preacher claim things they can’t prove he also can’t prove his god exists. He says he teachers about faith, not proof. He says when someone claims that he worships an invisible daddy in the sky, he can’t prove god exists. He is OK with that. I really respect this man. Hugs. Scottie
In the one below this time he explains something very important a lot of people miss. Things that when the writers of the bible wrote about giants or Nephilim they meant fierce hard to beat warriors, not real bigger than humans giants. He explains that the writers used phrases and ideas from their own time. He is sort of admitting that the bible not to be taken literally and was written by humans for the people of that time. Hugs. Scottie
I did not think to write a blurb about the rest of the videos, I posted these before it dawned on me people might not watch them without understanding what they might be about. If you are wondering, fast-forward towards the end of each video to see if the video strikes a nerve and I would post it. Just remember I am an atheist and I enjoy listening to this guy. Hugs. Scottie

This is a short-written article that shows how tRump’s sexual assault of Stormy was not consensual. She was abused and abused, just as most of tRump’s victims are. This was not just hush money for election in that it was husmaony to show how this was a payment to advoid showing that this was a rape. This was to prevent a much worse sexual abuse criminal charge. She was a sexual abuse victim. Hugs. Scottie.
On a scale of zero to ten, with zero being definitely consensual, and ten being definitely not consensual, this is like a six or a seven. Call me old-fashioned, but I consider kind of rapey to be disqualifying all by itself for a presidential candidate, although I realize of course that it’s practically certain Trump has gotten to ten many many times (a jury has already found as much in one case, and there are no doubt countless more), and also realize this is just one of literally dozens of reasons why Trump is utterly unfit to be president.

Prosecutors have alleged in court that the Trump Organization offered former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg more than $1 million to keep his mouth shut.

In a turn that is oh-so-meta, a brand new hush money deal is now at the center of attention in Donald Trump’s ongoing hush money trial: $750,000 that prosecutors say the business mogul is dangling above Allen Weisselberg’s head to keep him testifying against his former boss.
For the first time on Friday, prosecutors disclosed the strict terms of a severance agreement that the Trump Organization used to promise more than $1 million to its outgoing chief financial officer—as long as he kept his mouth shut.
The 76-year-old disgraced accountant is currently serving a five-month jail sentence on Rikers Island for perjury, having lied to try sparing Trump from legal trouble in a separate case that ultimately fined the tycoon nearly $500 million for bank fraud.
But Weisselberg has conspicuously remained the missing witness at Trump’s first criminal trial. Prosecutors allege he was the finance guy who helped manage the hush money deal that kept the porn star Stormy Daniels quiet about her sexual affair with Trump in the final weeks of the 2016 election. Documents in court show that Weisselberg structured the $420,000 repayment to Michael Cohen (then Trump’s personal attorney) after the so-called “fixer” had fronted the $130,000 initial payment to the porn star.
In court on Friday, prosecutors revealed that the Trump Organization has promised to pay Weisselberg three installments of $250,000 due later this year in June, September, and December—if he doesn’t “cooperate” with law enforcement.
One part of the contract, read out loud in court, says Weisselberg promises “not to verbally or in writing disparage, criticize, denigrate” the company or any of its executives. Another section says “he will not communicate with” and “otherwise will not cooperate with” any entity seeking “adverse claims” against the company.
And while the law generally punishes people for “aiding or abetting” a criminal, Weisselberg’s contract by contrast punishes him if he decides to “aid, abet, or cause” any action against the Trump real estate empire.
This whole other kind of hush money deal came up because prosecutors are planning to wrap up their presentation of the case next week without calling Weisselberg to the stand, which might seem confusing to jurors. That’s why they asked the judge to let jurors see the severance agreement.
“What we’re trying to do is explain his absence. This agreement offers a real explanation as to why he’s not going to be here at this trial,” said prosecutor Christopher Conroy.
This legal debate ensued after the 18 jurors considering the case were sent home for the weekend. The discussion made clear that prosecutors will likely call Cohen as a final witness, then wrap up their presentation against the former president. It would then be Trump’s turn to tell his side of the story, if he even has plans to do so.
For a few minutes, lawyers on both sides sparred over whether to allow jurors to see the severance agreement. The judge initially seemed open to the idea. That is, until he discovered that prosecutors haven’t even tried.
“Has anyone attempted having him come in in some way… serving him with a subpoena or trying to compel his testimony?” Justice Juan Merchan asked.
“Judge, the people have not,” a prosecutor responded.
The reality is a tad bit complicated. The fact is, neither side wants jurors to hear from Weisselberg—because no one knows what a pissed off old man suffering in jail for the second time around after once again taking the fall for his boss might say.
He’s a loaded gun, and he could point in either direction.

Joshua Steinglass, a prosecutor, readily admitted that his team saw it as a “strategically bad decision to put a witness on the stand who has an agreement like that.”
Meanwhile Trump’s defense team fought against the notion of having Weisselberg testify. But then he also complained that it would be unfair to let jurors see the agreement.
Emil Bove, a defense lawyer, tried to have the judge consider this cushy retirement package in total isolation. In reality, that deal followed years of Trump’s top accountant refusing to flip on his boss.
Weisselberg has been grilled by federal prosecutors who initially looked into the deal six years ago, pressured to testify about his cooking of the books at the company’s tax fraud trial in 2022 (before this same judge), later spent three months at Rikers for dodging taxes, played a reluctant witness at Trump’s bank fraud trial last year, and is now serving time for lying during that trial.
“That he entered into a settlement agreement after the fact… is not relevant to what’s going on at this trial,” Bove tried to convince the judge. “Mr. Weisselberg is in prison right now and not available to anyone.”
But the judge saw right through the uncomfortable dance being performed on both sides.
“It would be helpful to make my decision if I see that there were some efforts taken,” he said, accusing all the lawyers of “jumping the gun.”
The judge pointed to a narrow provision in Weisselberg’s retirement deal that allows him to testify if he’s dragged into court by a subpoena, calling it “a factor for me in making that decision.”
At that point, Steinglass pivoted, warning the judge that having prosecutors approach Weisselberg at all could cost the Trump associate dearly but still ultimately prove futile on the witness stand if he decides to plead his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Merchan suggested an alternative, one that would subject Weisselberg to a bus ride from the dreaded island jail in the East River to the criminal courthouse in downtown Manhattan. Once there, he could be ordered to testify in a courtroom without the jury present—and once lawyers know what he’ll say, decide whether to put him in front of jurors.
Merchan said the entire exercise would be important. After all, there’s a key difference between that and what he’s hearing now from lawyers who have a common interest in not hearing from a complicated key player in this saga.
“Then it”s on the record, and I’ve seen it,” Merchan said.
In the final moments of the fourth week of Trump’s ongoing trial, Bove made one last try to keep Weisselberg from showing up next week, complaining that the accountant was never on the government’s witness list.
“We were entitled to notice of that long before the trial started,” Bove argued.
At that, the judge turned down his gray bearded chin, shaking his head while his eyes pierced into Bove from behind his thick-rimmed black glasses.
“You didn’t think it was a possibility the people might call Allen Weisselberg to testify?”
