Ricky Martin in "I am gay" shocker

Ricky Martin announces he is gay

Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin has announced he is gay, ending years of speculation over his sexuality.

Martin, who has sold more than 60 million albums in a career spanning three decades, said on his website that he felt "blessed to be who he was".

He added that he had kept his sexuality hidden so far because advisers had told him coming out could hurt his career.

His biggest hit is Livin' La Vida Loca - a 1999 single that reached number one in more than 20 countries.

Martin, who fathered two children with a surrogate mother two years ago, said on his website: "Today I have accepted my homosexuality as a gift that gives me life."

He said his decision to write his memoirs had helped him to free "things that were too heavy to keep inside".

Martin began his career in the 1980s with the Puerto Rican boy-band, Menudo.

Gosh, I never saw that coming. Mind you a female colleague of mine burst out crying when George Michael was caught cottaging.

EDIT: D'oh, Mart's gaydar kicked in quicker than mine.

Sorry dear, Marcin was on this one like butter on a flapjack.

It's English slang for having gay sex in a public place (usually a loo).

Hot! 

I have fantasies about glory holes.  There used to be a place in Toronto called the "Bijou" - where they have entire walls of glory holes and one can suck all the cocks one wants without eye contacts.

Mouth herpes is so much fun!

That's why I said fantasy - I never indulged - that place I mentioned it's an old roommate who used to go there.  Myself I merely download porn where that fetish is portrayed.  There's something really stimulating in the thought of having a man's meat, often the only part of him that really interests you, in your mouth without even the merest hint of social obligation or interaction.

I'm intrigued. Gay men like sucking cock as an end unto itself and not on a "I'll do yours if you do mine" basis? I think most straight women could probably live without it...

[Martinus]

It really depends on personal preferences but yeah, there is definitely a large group of gay guys (I have only anecdotal evidence, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 50%) who prefer to be active in oral sex rather than passive (or at least like being in both roles equally). So in practice, it's more often the case of "I will let you suck my cock if you let me suck yours".

Good.  Glad to send the ones without taste or talent to the other team.

[Brazen]

Do we call him Ricky Martinus from now on?

[derspiess]

My wife called this like 10 or 11 years ago.

Bumped, just so Brazen's thread gets more posts than Perez Marty's.
