Fashion designer and professional sexy man Tom Ford: “There’s one indulgence every man should try in his lifetime: If you’re straight, sleep with a man at least once, and if you’re gay, don’t go through life without sleeping with a woman. Either way, you might be surprised at how natural it will feel if you can get past the mind-f*ck of stereotypes. In the end, it’s just another person that you are relating to in a physical way.” [Details]

Yeck!!!!!! No way am I sleeping with a woman!!! I love a lot of women as long as I don’t have to go there!!!!
Joe Moag
I would be interested in seeing a whole hell of a lot more of the photo above.
hardmannyc
He only says these idiotic things so he can be quoted. Worked for you, didn’t it?
I used to sleep w/women. They were great, but your dick always knows what it wants.
Drew
omg barf
AZgaybe
maybe he should try a sheep or 2!
tallskin
Since I have done my duty and slept with my duly allocated ration of females when young, I am all for this idea!
Straight boys, here I am, waiting for you to do your duty and sleep with a man.
I am THE man. I am YOUR man.
Come on, it won’t hurt much, I promise.

I wouldn’t mind the vagina itself. I’d prefer its naturally lubricating properties over the anus. And eating it probably produces more pleasure for the receiver than rimming, with the clitoris and extra nerve endings and all.
I would prefer if some men could just conveniently form a vagina whenever I wanted it.

@tallskin:
Tallskin, if you’re not hurting the straight boys, you aren’t doing it right. Harder, daddy, harder.
ChristopherM
But whatever you do, don’t sleep with Tom Ford. Because god knows where that has been.
Michael
What an insipid remark. I agree: someone needed their name in print.

When people get tans, why do they never seem to tan their bottoms? I mean its not like he got the tan on a bitch so why no go au natural in the tanning salon?
LappyDappy
The best of both worlds: sleep with a tranny! You might discover that gender is more than physical appearance, more than a social construct.
Jimbo
been there did that with the ex wife like guys better do not need to revisit
Charles J. Mueller
Whatever floats your boat. HeeHee
There is an old saying.
“Once you get past the smell, you got it licked!”
Yeah, yeah. Hold it down, guys. I am NOT a misogynist. It just a sexist joke. 😉
sparkle obama
oh my gosh, you guys are soooo immature.
mr. ford is correct.
you kids are stuck in the 80s.
ps
it is *never* ok to say the thought of having sex w/a lady “makes you sick”.
keep it to yourself, nasty.
Leo
OMG Charles, I have never heard that expression before and It gave me a very disgusting visual too lol,, too funny, good thing I ate lunch early. Happy Holidays Y’all
Charles J. Mueller
@sparkle obama:
You wrote, in quotations marks, no less, “makes you sick”.
Exactly where did you see those words on this blog and who said them?
Alexa
@Charles J. Mueller:
How about “omg barf” at reply 5, or does barf have another meaning I’m not aware of?
Saying that, it didn’t bother me, I have pracically that reaction to the thought of ever having sex with a man again 😉
Moo
@Alexa
Perhaps Drew doesn’t like the idea of having sex with a straight man either.
ggreen
If you are a gay man, sex with Tom Ford is having sex with the opposite sex. Tom may have a penis but he’s all girl and doesn’t care who knows it.
Charles J. Mueller
@Alexa:
You got me, girlfriend. “Makes me sick” would certainly be synonymous with “omg barf”.
You have an eagle eye. lol
Happy Holidays.
Charles J. Mueller
@Leo:
And Happy Holidays to you as well.
An Other Greek
very good advice…
and ahead of its time.
the future is PANSEXUAL,
the question is when…
our lifetime? probably not, but it’s coming…

@sparkle obama:
I agree. People need to grow up. There’s just no reason why the thought of sex with a woman should nauseate even the most homosexual man — and frankly, I don’t believe that it does.
Straight guys often act the same way, with some even pretending they can’t identify a good-looking guy. I think these kinds of reactions are really just a way of saying, “Hey! I’ve invested in an identity! I don’t want to think about anything that might threaten it!”
Puddy Katz
Basically a homophobic remark.
reversion
I don’t know why so many here are up in arms…it’s something that I’ve thought about before. I want to try it at least once…
Michael
Maybe because it’s yet another egregious example of the “Glitteratti” waxing didactic about what or whom we should “do” – especially when it is said in a shameless and obvious ploy to garner press. Who the F*CK cares what some washed up designer thinks? It’s not paying my bills. I’ve never been with a woman – no desire to. I don’t feel my life is any less fulfilled. I’ve also never jumped out of a plane, eaten raw eggs, or swam with dolphins. And if I don’t do these things, ya know what? I’m gonna be okay. So, stop brow-beating people into thinking they’re somehow wrong or deficient because they don’t want to mix it up with some tranny or woman or man or hermaphrodie or freakin’ seahorse. Let the sparkle of your self-satisfaction lull you further into your insipid stupor; I, for one, have had enough.
LappyDappy
Kudos, Michael!
I do think it’s sad that people can say they are bi-curious, but less often do I hear them say they are trans-curious. Transsexuals are the third sex!
michael
Tom Ford reminds of Madonna, not especially talented in any kind of remarkable way but very good at creating drama and being provocative and grandiose. Problem is they believe in their own grandiosity and think they are truly special. And what is the story behind this photo? Its not very becoming.
SuperCat
lol… labia.
Charles J. Mueller
I liked your comment too, Michael. Obviously you have a strong sense of self and are secure with it. That’s good.
There is no reason why we should ever feel compelled to do anything we are not physically comfortable with, just because someone else says we should.
Kind like what the religious right keeps preaching at us, eh?
“Do it our way. It’s good for you…and you’ll go to heaven to boot” LOL
The Gay Numbers
@Pragmatist: agree- I had same reaction to letter man over franco kissing penn. What’s the big deal? a kiss is a kiss until you go below the neck.
Nick
Tom has a really nice meaty cock I jerked off with him once at the gym, he make act all girl but in the buff he is all man! And yes it’s part of the biz to get buzz regardless of how inane.
Disgusted American
been there done that when I was in my late teens/early 20’s…trying to be so-called “normal”..it did nothing for me….a sexy masculine man is what I LIKE/NEED/WANT!
She
How do any of you form a lasting relationship? It seems to be all about sex and who posts the wittier comment. I’m a straight woman and I happen to think Tom Ford is beautiful. But that’s as far as it goes. I’d never sleep with a gay guy. Never. You people aren’t picky about who you “do”. And freakin’ critical about freakin’ everything! Which I’m sure is a defense mechanism. Where do you find your happiness besides the obvious?
Charles J. Mueller
@She:
Hello? Newsflash, lady.
Check out the Internet. You heteros have sites and blogs that would make a sailor blush. What is it with people like you, who come “snooping” around homo sites and blogs, simply for the purpose of making cracks and “critiquing” our “behavior” and play moralscop.
What is your problem, anyway? Your old man not porking you often enough? Perhaps you should check-out his late night surfing habits on the Internet after you have fallen asleep?
That might well be the source of your jealousy over those who are having a good sex-life.
Try it. You might like it. 😉
M Shane
It’s possible but much more of a mind twister than it appears on first examination . like I think that you have to have at least as split personality.
M Shane
Really dissociative in the most extreme sense also most women want more than just a plug and g’by.
Charles J. Mueller
@M Shane:
> “most women want more than just a plug and g’by.”
I think that we could safely say the same of most gay LGBT people as well.
So, what does that have to do with my critique of She’s critique of us?
Who gave her the right to play hetero-cop? If we need a sermon on our sinful ways, we can always attend a Sunday Mass at our local Christian or Mormon Church if we feel the need to have our pee pee’s whacked.
Smokey Martini
I’m down with that proposal! While I may not get anything from penetrating a woman (except, maybe, the sensation), I’m certainly interested in giving a lady some oral. There’s something about exploring the clit and the labial folds — and, of course, the opportunity/ability to pleasure a woman — that titillates me to the nth degree.
Also, I’m with Sparkle Obama and Pragmatist on the yuck factor. Imagining oneself engaging in sex with a woman should not bring about a visceral (aka “barf”) reaction. The body is a wonderful thing, and we must all learn to appreciate it, not matter the sex, no matter the form. Sure, everyone has their preferences, but to have visceral reactions to less favourable ones…? That’s just immature.
DavidOnTheMedia
I think Gay boys having sex with a woman is only viable in a few cases; you’re gay and don’t know it yet, or you are still wondering if sucking cock and kissing a guy is your true calling. Sometimes ya need to figure out what doesn’t work to know what does. In the process hopefully not hurting anyone. I think this decorator may be a bit lonely and confused.
DavidOnTheMedia
Hey Smokey Martini,
Next time you see a wrinkled up bent up out of shape 90 year old, be appreciative and have at it, and don’t grimace, “that’s just immature”.
Smokey Martini
@DavidOnTheMedia:
I’ve actually seen it, David, and instead of being grossed out, I was amazed… Amazed at all the transformations that body has endured to get to where it’s at, and amazed at how radically different it is from the youthful, toned body we are so accustomed to.
Sure you may not be aroused, but looking at such the body of a ‘wrinkled out-of-shape 90 year old’ with curious eyes certainly helps put its differences into perspective. In fact, I suggest that all you age/fat/wrinkle-negative folks enroll yourselves in at least ONE life drawing class where you’ll be exposed to a wide array of nude bodies. Not only will you get your daily fix of more ‘average’ physiques, you’ll also learn how to look at it more ‘objectively’. Exposure is key!
DavidOnTheMedia
LoL What a convenient yet squirley side step, from oral sex to drawing bodies. I think you think you got it all figured out. How bout you go munch on an out of shape failing 90 year old and get a clue about your limits? 😉 I think your Martini be a bit Smokey . . .
Smokey Martini
Uh, that’s not a sidestep at all. You know very well that I was NOT talking about drawing, but more about finding the opportunity to continually expose oneself to bodies outside of one’s comfort zones. Bathhouses and sex clubs are good for this, too. After all, exposure (aka ‘visibility’ and/or ‘familiarity’) helps naturalize that which is different and aids in the ridding of extreme and visceral reactions. You know, like ‘barfing.’ THAT’S what I’m talking about. And THAT reaction – whether literal or figurative – is what I find ‘immature.’
In any case, I guess what I’m suggesting is that the more you realize bodies are more alike than not – one of the benefits to life-drawing classes – the more open you’ll be to ignoring the so-called ‘yucky’ differences associated with gendered and generational physiques. Exploration will be greatly facilitated. And since, you asked: I’m quite certain about my limits. All I ask is for a clean cooter. Everything else is good to go, thanks.

Remember we’re all talking about aesthetics… No need to convince others that what’s right for is is right for everybody (That goes for you too, Tom Ford)
Cam
Tom, shouldn’t you be back in your workroom designing a nice pair of shoes that looks good with my suit instead of trying to sound deep? People should stick to what they know, and apparently all you know is shoes, because every other time you open your mouth you sound like an insecure college freshman in their first day of a philosophy 101 class.
Jack
@Cam: Lighten up, Frances. And that goes for the rest of you squares. Mr. Ford is on point.
