Happy October!

Happy October!

October 1st is the first anniversary of allbecauseoftheboys! In one month, we’ve clocked in 311 posts and reblogs and hit 221 followers. Thank you all SO MUCH. Seriously, it still hasn’t sunk in yet that 200 people read what I write. Every time I get a fanmail my brain has a 404 error.

That said, I thought I’d compile a list of 20 of September’s most popular captions in case you missed ‘em:

Sofa King Good
Red Underwear
Big Balls
Frot Makes Him Late
Creepy Crawlies Not Covered in Contract
Maybe…This Is How He Loves Me
Egg
Wearing Hugo’s Collar
Ron Bailey
Ethan Is Put Into Chasity For His Own Good – very popular!
Liam’s Interview
Maybe If I Fuck Him He’ll Shut Up (this is one of my favorites)
Greek Attitude
Breathe, Boy
One Dollar
Secrets at Work
Faggot Gets Cock At Last
Blind Baby Has Its Mother’s Eyes
Alex’s Tutoring Sessions
Clark Kent

Did I miss one?

Also, I’m methodically going through the posts and cleaning up the tags. Just a reminder that you view the tag list if you visit my Tumblr’s landing page.

Thank you all again! Happy Autumn. I already have a Halloween post ready.

PS: In case anyone body is wondering, I got my Tumblr name from the song A Cause Des Garcons covered by Yelle.

This morning, BuzzFeed is featuring a story from Project Unbreakable (website/Tumblr), who work with survivors of sexual assault, photographing them holding a poster with a quote from their attacker. Today’s unique story uncovered stories from men who have been assaulted, and touches base on some of the stigmas surrounding men and sex, with quotes from attackers such as “Don’t worry, boys are supposed to like this,” and “You’re a guy, you can’t say no to a girl like me.”, as well as many threats to hurt loved ones. Many people still don’t realize that yes, men CAN BE and ARE victims of sexual abuse, not only from women but from fellow men, and that it is not made any less traumatizing for a man simply because he is a man, and saying things like “man up” does nothing except further dehumanize and hurt the victim. There is, if possible, even more blame put on a male victim of sexual abuse than female because people assume that all men want sex, from any person, at any time. Stop this. Stop the abuse of ANYBODY, stop victim blaming, and stop telling male abuse survivors that men being raped “isn’t a real thing.” You can read the full story and see the rest of the pictures here. 

Some of my readers have commented that I tend to err on the side of soft-core stuff. As much as I love seeing, reading, and watching men being dominated by other men, it always has made me a tad uncomfortable to write about situations in where consent is violently stolen. This is why you’ll never see hardcore rape or kidnap stories stories on my Tumblr. I have written a few stories that drift around that thin line, yes, but I always try to imply that the result of action is to help or explore a kink, not to damage. It’s still a fantasy of ideal emotions and outcomes, yes, but it’s the only way I can feel that I’m not cheapening the trauma of rape among men.

Stuff

Stuff

  • The post I lost has been rewritten and is queued to go up in like four hours or so.
  • I stretched the width of my layout so there’s less lines of text.
  • I still cannot figure out how to center images.
  • The tag list now works! You can access it by clicking the link in the header.
  • If any of my male readers are in chastity and wouldn’t mind me using your pics, please send me a message. I am constantly short on these.
  • If anyone has a prompt or a kink they’d like me to write about, please message it too. I enjoyed writing that chemistry one.
  • Yesterday, I smashed one of my fingers in a commercial freezer door and it feels odd to type on it because the entire fingertip is a giant bruise.

Also, I’d like to give a little shout out to the8rmatt. This user has reblogged an enormous quantity of my posts, so thank you. I’ve been enjoying watching you methodically make your way through my archive.

Omgod I wrote the most beautiful caption but Tumblr had a hiccup and didn’t save my draft. I have to leave in like 10 minutes so I don’t have time to rewrite it ;_;. I have to remember it all for four hours! Argh!

I added a list of tags to the top of my page links. I’ve been informed that the script could take up to 30 seconds to load, but it’s giving me issues. Can everyone click the link please and give me feedback on what happens?

Pic request

Pic request

A few days ago, there was a picture on my dash that looked like this: It was a mostly dark picture, it looked like it was shot on film with the flash on at night (meaning the subject looked a little washed out). It showed a young man on rollerblades and nothing else. He was smiling, looking caught off guard. He had loose pants, and was either wearing a tank top or a T-shirt. He might been holding a sweater behind him.  

If anyone has this picture, please let me know. Been regretting not captioning it and now I can’t find it again.

A couple days ago, xyxykentucky gave a shout-out to my wee Tumblr and along with other caption blogs. It’s time to return that favor. *Zoidberg voice* Reblogs for everyone!

Caption blogs:
captionstojerkby – hot
xyxykentucky
– hot
scarletcox – hot
bondcyberrole – hot

Misc blogs:
faggland – This man writes deeply personal reports for his Sir about his journey into becoming a faggot/slave. He also does a little captioning.
slavetothementality – A sub in chastity, articulate in his writing and thoughts.
quizzel – He lives with his mom, who doesn’t know about his secret life as a chaste boy and plug slut! His self-milking videos are damn hot.

There’s so many more Tumblrs I want to recommend… perhaps I’ll make this a themed thing.

Comics I recommend:
The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ & Amal – A gay comic involving two men on a road trip across the country, each running from something different.
Prague Race – No gay content here, just a really fresh take on friendship/adventure/fantasy comics. Also, sharkdogs and conebugs.

If you have anything you’d like me to check out, please message it to me.

100 Followers! (and observations)

100 Followers! (and observations)

In one week, I’ve hit 100 followers! Thank you boysandboytoys.  Some power Tumblr users have 500 or even 25,000 followers but just having 100 is amazing – so thank you very much! I will continue to provide you guys with lots of hot content in the future.

That said – I’ve noticed that Tumblr doesn’t have a good system in place for providing feedback. Lotta ways to like and reblog, ask questions and send fan mail, but there’s no way to send critique. We’re not even allowed to know why a user has unfollowed our blog.
Writers tend to get a bit neurotic without some sort of feedback on both sides. Please don’t be shy to tell me what exactly you want, what you don’t like, if some language offends you, if I update too much, if my prose are too long, if my sillier posts are too silly, etc. I can take it.

Also in case you’re wondering – Hugo’s Collar and Against the Wall have the most likes, but over all Red Underwear seems to be fan favorite by far. In that kink poll I posted recently, 26 people voted but the most popular response was ‘Men controlled by other men’, followed by ‘faggots/houseboys’, and ‘vanilla sweet stuff’.

Finally, just in case I didn’t say it enough – THANK YOU everyone and I love you. 

PS: If you can’t hear sound on videos uploaded to Tumblr, I found away around it and will be posting that soon. 🙂

Just saw your post about Asks, had a follow-up question for you: By using feminine words to dehumanize your ‘fag self’ – such as pussy for example- do you think that this implies that being a woman or being feminine in an insult or a negative thing? I understand that you might not be misogynistic, but you can’t get your headspace without some misogynistic tenancies . How do you feel about this? How do you think your female follows feel? (lol this sounds like a textbook question, sorry.)

slavetothementality-deactivated:

yes, i think it totally does imply that there’s something wrong with being a woman. at the root of pretty much any kind of homophobic or emasculating remark is deep-seated misogyny. it’s a part of me, and i hope it doesn’t manifest in any part of me other than my fag self. usually i tell myself that the way i have sex, as problematic as it might be, is no one else’s business because controlling the way adults have consensual sex is also oppressive (keywords: adults, consensual).

i do acknowledge that what i enjoy is unfortunately the effect of living in a society born in and still ruled by very patriarchal and racist institutions (not the “natural order of things” as many doms/subs or masters/slaves might say). but sometimes simple acknowledgement doesn’t feel like enough. the obvious action to take following acknowledgement would be to stop the oppressive language. being in chastity and getting fucked aggressively can still happen without the power play, but…it just all just feels so much better with it. that’s my deeply ingrained misogyny and racism operating there, and i’m left in an ongoing state of ambivalence. i don’t know how my female followers (if i have any) feel, and i’m not going to try to speak for them. if anyone has anything to say i’m always open to dialogue.

What a thorough,cognizant response; it answers the question without being combative or defensive. Who-ever controls this sub shouldn’t waste his head on blowjobs. I wouldn’t mind a column by this boy.

Any female users want to contribute?
