QuoteRicky 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. :P

What, the same man who had no idea Stephen Fry was homosexual? :P

If Ricky is gay than anyone could be! Oh noes!

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.

:D 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...
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.
Do we call him Ricky Martinus from now on?
My wife called this like 10 or 11 years ago.
Bumped, just so Brazen's thread gets more posts than Perez Marty's.

I've never got you gays, why on earth would you want to do this?
To be the suckee- cool, but the sucker? Girls sure don't like it, they tend to just do it in the hope of reciporocation (Spelling fail)
Korea likes sucking cock. UNLESS SHE LIED

We're not females...
Personally I like the physical sensation of having a mouthful. And symbolically it's like ingesting a part of the other guy's virility - a very potent turn on. But that's just me - the others here may have other reasons.

Meh, girls doing it to me is the closest experience with it I've had.
I suppose me doing it to girls is similar and that is icky and nasty in the extreme. But a necessary evil.

Hmmm you may want to question your allegiances if that's how you feel... I too find vaginas nasty but I'm consequent with this sentiment and steer clear of them. Besides a guy's ass is so much tighter. ;)

I assure you as little as I like putting my mouth to a girl's never regions the thought of doing it to a dick is even worse :p
I don't think I'm alone in this. The general concensus from drunken chats with friends is its something you have to do to get a return.
Maybe I'm just asexual and my liking girls truly is just 100% pure aesthetic love of beauty....
Better watch out Tyr, Stephen Fry was claiming asexuality a few years back :D
Moving back to Ricky Martin, I only know one thing about the chap, he's gay :huh:
He sang "Livin' La Vida Loca" which was a huge hit on this side of the pond 10 years ago or so.

I like munching carpet. Guaranteed to satisfy. I do not much care for getting my dick sucked though I want to go straight to the main show.
That may indeed be the internets fault.
