Hey, check it out, sexy pics of James Lock in Gay Times magazine! Wait, who is that, you ask? Ehhh, who cares, he’s in his underwear, let’s ogle.
James is famous in the UK for starring alongside Dan Osborne on scripted reality soap opera The Only Way Is Essex, or Towie for short, which actually makes it sound more like a sizzling drama about the romantic lives of tow truck drivers.
The thing to love most about following British pop culture is that it’s like an alternate universe, where everyone is behaving exactly the same as Americans, but the names of everything are different. For example, this quote from James’ interview with GT:
“The Valleys is making Wales look bad, and Geordie Shore makes everyone up north look like chavs – and they’re not!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Not sure what that means? Start by substituting Jersey Shore for The Valleys and “Trenton” for “Wales,” and you’re halfway to a comparison that works just fine in America.
But there’s one area in which British men and American men can’t really compare, and that’s sexual openness. Can you imagine an American reality star telling a reporter something like this?:
“I feel really comfortable with gay men, and between scenes I’ll always be having a laugh with Bobby. We have a lot of sexual banter and he’s always talking to me about blow jobs and telling Danielle the best way to give me one. He’s challenged her to a blow job competition – so you might see that in a season coming up! [Laughs] If the ratings ever start dropping, we’ve always got that one to pull out of the bag.”
If they can maintain that culture of free blow jobs for everyone, we definitely look forward to the American adaptation of this show.

Men are far, far more skilled in giving Blow Jobs than women. Women do not know how to deep-throat, they let their teeth touch your dick (it’s awful), they don’t know how to be creative, by doing things such as licking your ball* and hitting your peni* on their faces, etc.

kinda sloppy writing/editing…who’s “Bobby” in the quote? a co-star not mentioned previously?
domen8r
or the character name of the co-star who is mentioned previously? and is the woman mentioned his love interest on the show? or a girlfriend?

Americans read an article or see a glimpse of TV and reach all kinds of ridiculous conclusions about British sexual openness. Having lived among them for several years, I can tell you that generally they are the most uptight, socially inept people I have ever spent time with. Sure, they’ll get piss-faced drunk and strip off their clothes (the other option is getting into a fight), but these types of actions are a reaction to the repression they live with in their lives, not expressions of sexual openness. Frankly, I never understood how they mate, as the sexes do not socialize very much with each other. It’s a really fucked up society IMO.
