Admiring The Gallery


Recommended Posts

This is something a little different, which has largely been created through playing around on AI and finding it has a tendency towards making people in the same generated picture look like they are twins (or at least closely related). Many a bored hour in an airport lounge has resulted in this collection, with a notional set of characters and a 'story' now built around it.

- - - - -

With the delay to my flight up from the Riviera, I concluded it made sense to just come straight from Heathrow to Cadeau House, rather than swinging by the flat to pick up Jacob and Eli. While they make their way over to Mayfair in a cab, I have had time to check out the renovations on my own. Having taken in the glorious restoration of the grand entrance hall, I was most intrigued to check out the gallery now that all the pictures taken on the shoot last year were apparently up. Man, that had been a fun couple of days, particularly the after-party down in the cellars. In reality only a small selection of the membership had been both willing and able to come to London when Harris had been available to take all the shots, but it was still a good turnout.

The gallery has been tastefully done, making use of the former kitchen with its bare white walls. Subtle lighting akin to what you might see in an upscale modern art institution, combined with the dark stone floor that had been installed, gives the room a relaxed feel, inviting you to spend time looking at the portraits and reading the story behind each one:

 

Harris Penslade (self portrait)

large.HarrisPenslade.jpg.5794f081cd129480881b628670d8b8cc.jpg

Photographer to the rich and famous, Harris is as at home shooting covers for fashion magazines as he is capturing for posterity the goings-on in seedy underground clubs. He has been a member of the Foundation for several years, and has now delivered on his goal of documenting the sheer diversity of the organisation’s members.

Born into wealth in Gloucestershire, Harris has described himself as “the rainbow sheep” of his family, a nod to both his sexuality as well as the challenging relationship he has with his parents and siblings. In this shot he shows how proud he is of who he is and what he is about, sticking the proverbial middle finger up at the conservative world he left behind at 18 when he moved to London.

Harris is a good friend of mine, and it was such a joy to be able to watch him do what he does best when we had the shoot. He had taken this one of himself in the early hours of the morning before anyone else was due, slipping the print in as a surprise when he delivered everything back to the Foundation a few weeks later.

 

Stanislav and Sergey

large.StanislavandSergey.jpg.87472269a835d362a5f118939db97e54.jpg

Born in Moscow, Stan and Sergey continue to honour the memory of their late father Aleksandr, a founding member of the Foundation. Having fled Russia when their father was first arrested on spurious charges, the brothers settled in Prague where they now actively manage the Foundation’s work across Central and Eastern Europe. The boys regularly host galas in their adopted home city, as well as Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and of course the legendary summer festival at their villa outside Dubrovnik.

Stanislav is eagerly versatile, while Sergey is a generous and welcoming power bottom. Though both were personally inducted to the Foundation by their father when they turned 18, they are known for their strict boundaries with each other when it comes to the bedroom. Only a select few of the Elite members have ever played with them both simultaneously.

Not a day goes by when I don’t miss Aleksandr. He was such a kind hearted man, the life and soul of any gathering, and not at all in line with the image many have of wealthy Russian businessmen. I am still so angry at what happened to him, and pray for the day Putin gets what’s coming to him. Aleks was so proud of his boys, and rightly so. I must make sure I get to Dubrovnik this year. 

 

Rico and Zsa Zsa La Scorpio

large.RicoandZsaZsa.jpg.16767ee2f7afcd3198e559a9822b7377.jpg

Timothy’s father left when he was a young boy, and eventually his mother had another son, Rico, by a visiting Brazilian who was soon also gone. Growing up in tough conditions in Philadelphia, the boys outwardly could not have been more different from each other. However, they had each other’s backs, fending off whatever came their way through Timothy’s cutting wit and Rico’s developing brawn. When their mother met a new man and decided to move with him to Atlantic City, the boys decided to go out on their own and both relocated to San Francisco.

Timothy had not long been in the city when he was gifted, and in time he embraced his status and began to develop his drag alter-ego that honoured his idol as well as who he now was. Quickly becoming a hit on the bathhouse circuit, his success began to fascinate his younger brother who, it turned out, was increasingly wanting to explore his own repressed but burgeoning bisexuality. The first night he attended one of his brother’s shows also became Rico’s first experience with other men. Less than a month later he was himself gifted.

Rico has now become a central part of Zsa Zsa’s show, providing striptease interludes to entertain the audience during costume changes, before rounding out the night ‘performing’ on stage with the winner of the night’s prize draw. Having embraced that side of himself while largely leaving relations with women behind, his versatility and nearly limitless stamina has helped to make Zsa Zsa’s club nights one of the hottest tickets in town. As members of the Foundation, the brothers regularly host special gala nights to support the organisation and expand its reach on the West Coast.

Whenever I am in San Fran I make sure I go and see Zsa Zsa’s show at least once. She is wickedly intelligent, and works over her base material regularly to keep things fresh. Off stage, Timothy is now in a long term relationship with a lovely guy, but for some reason doesn’t make that very well known outside of a small circle - maybe it’s to retain the aura of Zsa Zsa or something. As for Rico, the man is sweet but also an absolute sex machine, who can seemingly give and take it without stopping until it’s everyone else that is worn out! I’ve had my fair share of sessions with him in the club’s darkrooms, and have been left with shaking legs whichever way round we’ve done it. Jacob and Eli won the prize draw the one time they came with me to the West Coast, and I have to say, it was quite something to watch the three of them going at it in front of the whole audience, particularly when they were the bread and the far taller and more muscular Rico as the sandwich filling!

 

Grant, Corbin and Cade

large.GrantCorbinandCade.jpg.2e197a46b987c13664e4849c4ea8b21f.jpg

Hailing from Minnesota, Grant and his twin sons Corbin and Cade are the newest members of the Foundation. Grant is a long time friend of founding member Rory, and when he realised his sons had inherited his interest in men, he applied to join with his friend as sponsor.

Grant and his ex-wife have been divorced since the boys were young, and he gained full custody when she moved abroad with her new husband. He has lived as a gay man for the last 10 years, and sought out his own gifting 5 years ago. Grant is a passive bottom, now well known on the circuit in the Twin Cities.

This photo was taken just a day after the family arrived in London for the first time, with Cade and Corbin being inducted by several members over the course of the next few days before the family were invited to the Sanctuary in Jersey so the boys could be cared for while they converted. They all continue to live in Minnesota, and Grant has reported back on his joy and unending pride at being able to introduce his sons on the scene there. Cade has followed in his father’s footsteps as strictly a bottom, but Corbin has discovered his versatility and is now starting to gift others.

They are a nice family. I will never forget how proud Grant looked as his sons took everything the rest of us threw at them during that week. 

 

Princes Omar, Nasir and Zain bin Abbas Al Saud

large.PrincesOmarNasirandZain.jpg.e33b629f69863d277c454ce7a8219141.jpg

Splitting their time between Geneva, London and New York, founding member Prince Omar and his sons Nasir and Zain are known for embracing their Arab identities while also openly living in a way that means they can never return to their homeland. Omar has made no secret of having personally gifted his sons, nor that he exploits their talents to serve the needs of his many corporate clients, Nasir primarily as a top and Zain as a bottom.

The men use their extensive network to run the Foundation’s discreet activities on the Arabian peninsula, while also managing boutique hotels and luxury apartments across Europe and North America to cater specially for visitors from the Middle East. Prince Omar helped to establish the Foundation’s headquarters in London by bequeathing the organisation one of his many mansions, and continues to be one of its main financial supporters as well as its most successful fundraiser.

Omar is a stern man, who knows what he wants and how to get it. However, you cannot deny the extent to which the Foundation is what it is today thanks to him. His sons are rarely around, usually off doing his bidding somewhere, but Jacob and Eli are friendly with them and have regaled me with stories of how wild they get on free nights out in the clubs and saunas of London.

 

Kris, Bryce and Dane

large.KrisBryceandDane.jpg.90e81a6299c60487b4def83feda6c9d0.jpg

Bryce and Dane are half-brothers, who were adopted by Kris and his partner Clark when they were 5 and 6 years old respectively. Unfortunately Clark lost a long battle with cancer several years ago, but Kris has succeeded in raising two fine young men on his own since then at their home in Atlanta.

The boys came out to their father together when they were 16 and 17, and two years later they sat him down again to let him know they had both been gifted after celebrating Bryce’s birthday in a very special way. In a most unusual turn of events for Foundation members, it was the boys who then gifted their father, after convincing him they wanted that dynamic in their family. Kris eventually met some Foundation members while on a vacation in Fort Lauderdale, and the whole family was welcomed in soon after. They all continue to reside in Atlanta, maintaining versatile relations with each other while actively engaging on the scene across the southeast United States.

I am extremely fond of Kris, and I think most in the Foundation would pinpoint him as the one we most admire and respect. You can tell he has never got over the loss of Clark, but has found some salvation in the way things have evolved with the boys. Despite the newer elements in their relationship, his paternal feelings towards Bryce and Dane know no bounds, and he will always end up checking on them, even if they have just rigorously spit-roasted another guy who is perhaps now more in need of care and attention than they are (as I know all too well).

 

Jozef, Tomáš and Karol

large.JozefTomasandKarol.jpg.6b1ef6e9f8fecc848c6a12017ded1603.jpg

At the age of 20, fraternal twin brothers Tomáš and Karol left Bratislava to travel to Prague, where they planned to meet up with their great-uncle Jozef despite his estrangement from the family. The boys were intent on joining their uncle’s porn studio as performers, something that Jozef has said he found deeply amusing given the way his sister had severed ties when she found out about his line of work. Given their stunning looks and apparent skills, they were quickly signed up and put to work.

The boys’ first film, in which they played a farmer’s sons who get used by a whole parade of hired farmhands, was a storming success that left the studio with a lot of demand for a follow-up. In their second film they played a pair of cadets who are once again the centre of attention at a barracks. In their third highly controversial film, they play long-lost twins who, through a whole series of solo encounters with other men, eventually find one another and proceed to ‘bond’. They have since gone on to build very successful careers as versatile bottoms working for several studios, regularly appearing together as well as making some films on their own. Off screen they are intimate with one another, but also enjoy partying and playing with others around Prague.

Jozef had been gifted in his thirties, and had ensured that his nephews were supplied with what they needed to stay healthy. However, with their nagging uncle away on a vacation with his partner and both boys wanting to party hard, the regimen faltered and they soon converted. Their status is kept under wraps in the industry, but privately the boys revel in this side of themselves, enough so that Jozef reached out to the Foundation to help them meet other like-minded men without risking their careers. They have since become popular members, and the boys have indicated that they are planning to soon reveal their status so they can start making films that better reflect the sort of fun they actually like to have.

It certainly came as a surprise when Jozef and the boys became members, given what a fan I already was of their work. The boys are certainly experts in their field, and my two will always make sure they’re free for some double-twin fun when they’re in the same city. Jozef and his partner Goran are very welcoming hosts in Prague, but actually rarely travel and aren’t so involved with the Foundation, having really sought it out for the boys’ benefit.

 

Harry, Lance and Jason

large.HarryLanceandJason.jpg.34558e87d416d8fcec9fac96c4187900.jpg

Members of both the Foundation as well as the Scorpion Sting biker club, Harry and his two sons are based in Palm Springs but travel regularly around the United States, Canada and Mexico through their jobs as truckers. Harry had been gifted during one of the many encounters at truck stops while the boys were still young, subsequently splitting from their mother so he could pursue his new life without worry. The boys came to live with him as teenagers after their mother was incarcerated, and regularly joined him on jobs when school allowed. They quit education as soon as they could to follow him out onto the road, picking up his passion for motorcycles, trucks and the freedom that both seemed to bring.

Both young men also followed their father into the world of truck stops, albeit without any of them knowing about each other. Lance and Jason eventually ran into each other at some park toilets in Palm Springs, and just weeks later Harry overheard them talking to each other about their encounters, thus bringing everything out into the open. By that point Jason had already been gifted, and Lance chose to actively pursue it himself so the bond between the three could be complete.

The men share a house in Palm Springs, although there is often only one or two of them there at any time. However, when they are together they enjoy sharing other men with each other, particularly at their biker club meets around the country for which they will always try to make time.

The photo shoot was actually the first time I had met all three of them together, but as Palm Springs is somewhere I like to end up every now and then, I do know each of them quite well. They are all so gloriously versatile that a fun time is always to be had, particularly if they fancy introducing you to a biker friend or two. I had one particularly memorable night there once where I joined in at the small local clubhouse in the ‘initiation’ of a pair of Mormon missionaries who had been a little too visibly interested when they’d knocked on Harry’s door. They certainly got religion that night!

 

Alain and Jules

large.AlainandJules.jpg.713ef3328a09b8f889406db6a0cf4f9d.jpg

Growing up in a rural French village, these first cousins found plenty of ways to entertain themselves in the many abandoned barns and outhouses nearby. Having moved as a couple to Paris, they were founding members of the Foundation as they looked for a place they could be honest about their familial connection.

They manage the Foundation’s work across the Francophone areas of Europe, and are known for their multi-day parties that generally see Alain being pounded in a sling for hours at a time while Jules works to spread their gift to as many bottoms as he can find. In their personal relationship they are more versatile, with Alain having revealed that Jules is the only man he has ever topped.

Alain is a legend in our world, being able to take it like no-one else can. Jules is, in turn, an absolute beast in the bedroom, and I doubt anyone negative who gets naked with him around stays that way for long. What I find funny though is that they are a pair of absolutely softies the rest of the time, so deeply in love with each other and not ashamed to show it. Nothing beats a big bear cuddle from one of them when you’re feeling low.

 

Bram, Lucas and Noah

large.BramLucasandNoah.jpg.47f12eb41eeab23076cbc36d8f0dcb20.jpg

Most grandfathers would react a certain way if they found their daughter’s twin sons being used in a public toilet together, but Bram is a very special man. Taking the boys under his wing and offering them a sanctuary from their rural Dutch life in the bright lights of Amsterdam, he soon reached out to the Foundation to really let them soar. At the time of this photo being taken, Bram and the boys have been members for a little over a year.

Bram had sought the company of men after the death of his beloved wife, and soon found a side to himself that has been both exhilarating and liberating. He gives as good as he takes, and since receiving the gift at some point during his explorations of Amsterdam’s many exciting venues, he has been generous in sharing it with others. Meanwhile, despite their angelic faces, the boys are both demanding and seemingly insatiable bottoms who are already well known in Amsterdam. They had been gifted before they joined the Foundation, and in many respects are the gold standard for what a Foundation Junior should be.

I like Bram a lot. He’s a kind hearted soul who manages to find just the right balance between looking out for his grandsons and letting them be free. The boys are generally quite quiet in gatherings, but I have come to realise that shyness is not really behind it but rather a fixation on finding their next cock.

 

Derek, Barry and Dimitri

large.DerekBarryandDimitri.jpg.2d875b756194f9e60ce2432d2a7291c6.jpg

Derek and Barry met Dimi the night he broke into their house in Melbourne. Aged 15 and looking for things he could sell to buy more drugs, he had unknowingly found a route to halt his spiral of desperation and addiction. Cornered and trapped by the owners of the flashy villa, he would have expected to find himself in juvenile detention shortly after. However, the men recognised something in him from their own brushes with teenage delinquency, and instead reached out a proverbial hand to the boy to prevent him falling any further. By aged 16 he had been formally fostered by the men, and put back on track through the security and support he was offered at his new home and the counselling and treatment he began attending.

A dirty needle had already seen to his status, and in Barry and Derek young Dimi found support and acceptance for this too, both men having picked up the gift during the more hedonistic years of their twenties. As Dimi grew into a handsome, confident and self-assured young man, they helped him face up to his burgeoning homosexuality, and guided him as he learned to enjoy sharing himself with others. In time, and with the urging of founding member Kunal after a chance meeting in Bali, the three joined the Foundation and became central to its ever expanding presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Dimi is an avid singer and musician, and had become well known in the underground scene in Australia. This photo was taken three weeks before the release of the movie Red Stone City, which included Dimi’s five year old song Hazardous during a pivotal scene. The song has since become a viral hit, and Dimi’s star is on the rise as a proudly poz hunk.

I am so excited for Dimi, though I know Barry and Derek are concerned that his growing fame might also bring out his old demons again. I know they’ll have his back, and they hopefully know that we have theirs in turn. It does make me a little sad to think that Dimi’s truly incredible rear end might be out of bounds a bit from now on, but I’m sure he will find some time for the Foundation even if his career does go into the stratosphere.

 

Akarin, Dusit and Jakkapan

large.AkarinDusitandJakkapan.jpg.0456328b126123c745e04e328d7e6473.jpg

The first beneficiaries of the Foundation Outreach Programme, these Thai brothers originally hailed from a rural village but had left to try to find some freedom to be themselves. They were discovered working in an alternative bar in Chiang Rai, where they were topping up their meagre incomes through sex work. By that point all three had been gifted, and through the FOP they were able to access proper support and healthcare. They were offered the opportunity to relocate to Bangkok to help establish the Foundation’s new base there, and they now manage a support centre, lodgings and leisure facilities for other members of the FOP in the region.

Younger brothers Dusit and Jakkapan work at the centre full time, but take time out to enjoy the lively scene in the Thai capital. Akarin has taken on a less hands-on coordination role at the centre, giving him time to serve as a Global Ambassador for the Foundation. He has a particular focus on expanding the reach of the FOP in Southeast Asia, currently focusing on the Philippines and Indonesia.

I had not met the younger brothers before the shoot, and they were already off back to Bangkok that night as they did not feel comfortable leaving the centre without one of them around for too long. Akarin, however, is someone I get to see quite often through his additional role with the Foundation. If you look at him and think “aggressive top”, you’d be right! Although his past life required him to be more versatile, and on one occasion he reciprocated during a night we shared in a hotel in Manila, you can basically expect to be pounded into next week if you have a session with him.

 

Richard, Justin and Marc

large.RichardJustinandMarc.jpg.c8c7cae2814b5aef8a18a57bc38775bb.jpg

Justin is known for his hard partying, and it was on the scene in his home town of Toronto that he got gifted in his early twenties, and subsequently met Marc too. Sharing similar interests and outlooks, the young men were a good fit for one another and have been together for several years, albeit both having the other’s blessing to play away from home.

Justin’s father Richard had struggled with his sexuality his whole life, but seeing the freedom and self-acceptance his youngest son exhibited catalysed a change in the older man’s attitude towards himself. Eventually deciding to be honest with himself and those around him, he ended his marriage and attempted to build a new life as a gay man. He sought understanding and support from Justin, but also a guiding hand as he nervously entered a world he knew little about.

Richard has admitted to having become fascinated by Justin and Marc’s acceptance and pride of their status, a fascination that in time turned to a feeling if need that eventually started him off on another journey of self-discovery. When the time came for his gifting, it was fully intentional and with a man of his own choosing.  When the deed was done, and with his son’s blessing, he adorned himself with two tattoos of a similar design to those that Justin and Marc chose for themselves.

The three men joined the Foundation at Justin’s suggestion, and Richard in particular has thrown himself into supporting its activities. He has a particular focus on outreach work aimed at married men, and at the time of this photo being taken had just celebrated the first anniversary of his relationship with Kevin, one of those his work has helped in coming out.

Richard is a lovely guy, and has really made a difference in terms of what the Foundation offers to those who may not even be interested in ever receiving the gift but just need some support to come to terms with themselves. Justin and Marc, meanwhile, are also very sweet men, and their handsomeness still takes my breath away sometimes when I haven’t seen them for a while. I gather from Jacob and Eli that they can really let loose both on the dancefloor and in the bedroom, but as yet I haven’t had the chance to partake. I’m hoping my upcoming trip to Montreal and Toronto might change that!

 

Lars, Jan and Johan

large.LarsJanandJohan.jpg.9cdf7577e7147c18e5dcf945817ad797.jpg

Jan and Johan are perhaps the most publicly recognisable members of the Foundation, having modelled for numerous global brands over the last few years. Their striking looks also serve them well in the many clubs and dungeons of Scandinavia, where they particularly enjoy being strapped down and used all night.

Lars never expected to be a father, having eventually married a lesbian friend 20 years his junior to appease his religiously conservative parents. However, a few too many drinks one night at home resulted in his boys 9 months later, who the couple agreed he would raise before they went their separate ways. Finding them rutting each other on their 18th birthday, he soon joined in the family fun and invited others to partake as well. Less than a year later all three picked up the gift, and thanks to a contact at the boys’ modelling agency, they then found the Foundation too.

Lars is now in a committed relationship with the very private Björn, so leaves his sons to their globetrotting fun and regular tours of the Scandinavian scene. However, he remains an active member of the of the Foundation, and runs its activities across Scandinavia with his partner. This includes the annual Gjangbjang, where Foundation members and affiliates from across the world descend on Lars’s private island in the Stockholm Archipelago during the summer solstice, with Jan and Johan always present to provide the entertainment.

The thing with Jan and Johan is that, despite the hundreds upon hundreds of artistic, professional pictures you see of them, nothing prepares you for just how stunning they are in person. Almost too beautiful to fuck, but fuck them we all do! Lars and Björn are a lovely couple, and a stay at their house in the Stockholm suburbs is always good for the soul.

 

Christopher, Adam and Aaron

large.ChristopherAdamandAaron.jpg.97261ab085b4d5cd280a8d785e873b00.jpg

Christopher rescued his twin nephews when they were fifteen, after their abusive stepfather had found their stash of gay magazines and reacted with particular violence. Chris took the boys under his wing, and mentored them through their ongoing journey of self discovery. He never intended that they would join him in being gifted, but their secret attendance at a party his friends were throwing a few years later changed that. Christopher sought out the Foundation once the boys had recovered from their conversion.

The young men have since joined their uncle’s thriving bar business in Chicago, taking over its running so he could focus on his growing property interests. Their stunning looks make them very in-demand tops on the scene in Boystown, while Christopher’s insatiable appetite means he is one of the Midwest’s most legendary power bottoms.

Heads turn when those boys enter a room, so it’s lucky they have such incredible stamina and vitality as they will always have a long line of admirers wanting a turn with them. They are such a sweet pair though, despite everything they went through before their uncle whisked them away to safety. Christopher is someone I love to see as often as I can, even if that means you have to chat with him while he’s lying in a sling being seen to by a whole parade of men!

 

Pravin, Vishal and Ravi

large.PravinVishalandRavi.jpg.dffa988fbdf4b28d1485220332d340d4.jpg

Three of founding member Kunal’s six sons, Prav, Rav and Vish have continued their father’s legacy with the Foundation while their other three brothers carry forward the family name. During their childhoods it was clear to Kunal that each son had picked up that part of his genes, and he loved and supported them through their journey of self-acceptance and eventual gifting, all while being a good father grandfather to his other boys (and grandfather to their children).

Since Kunal’s passing, his sons have settled in Delhi and taken on responsibility for running the organisation’s activities in the subcontinent, with Ravi also working as a global ambassador as his father once did. They are known for their incredible work ethic, but do make time to show off their legendary stamina and versatility when the opportunity arises.

Kunal has almost hallowed status within the Foundation, and he would be so proud of how his sons have stepped up to carry on his work. I see Ravi quite regularly as his wider role brings him to London at least once a month, and he is always a pleasure to spend time with, whether in a restaurant or a bedroom.

 

Mateo and Juan

large.MateoandJuan.jpg.8d68b6393b405a1da37d2bc551431114.jpg

These brothers from Buenos Aires came to the attention of the Foundation after jointly winning Mr Latam Scorpion, and they became members at the same time as their OnlyFans channel rocketed in popularity off the back of that victory. Despite both being famously well endowed they are enthusiastically versatile, which puts them much in demand both on camera and in the bedroom.

Their back stories remain mysterious, and they have never confirmed or denied if they play with each other alone. However, as the major studios have started to seek them out, their futures look bright.

I barely got to meet these two before Jacob and Eli whisked them away after their shoot was done. To this day they remain tight-lipped about what they all got up to, making me think there is indeed more to their relationship than they have ever let on. Then again, it may just be that my boys are deliberately playing with me, knowing I’m dying to find out!

 

Mikoław, Filip and Adrian

large.MikolawFilipandAdrian.jpg.eca61e24a58c4b48ca3610a823788030.jpg

The majority of Polish fathers, it is safe to say, would not have reacted as Mikky did to his wife screaming the house down after catching their sons going at it in bed together. Whisking them away from a real sense of danger in rural Poland, first to Warsaw and shortly after to Manchester, Mikky left behind his life, his family and his marriage so that he could protect his sons from the fiercely conservative and homophobic place his country was becoming. Battling against a language barrier and the hardening of attitudes that Brexit had unleashed, Mikky managed to carve out a business for him and his sons working as gardeners and landscapers around the North of England, and in so doing he gave them the space and freedom to be themselves.

When they told him that they had been gifted, he did not get angry, he did not judge, nor did the support for his sons waver. He again sprang into action and, through a client in Cheshire, learned of the Foundation. Mikky became the first Honorary Member the day his sons joined, in recognition for the extraordinary tolerance and support that he had shown despite his own upbringing, his heterosexuality, and his ungifted status. Mikky now works with the Foundation on outreach in Poland, while continuing to be the staunchest of flag bearers that his sons could have ever dreamed.

I do not get to see Mikky nearly as often as I would like, as he is such an incredible chap. I have never known someone who seems to hold no judgements on others, and just celebrates people for who they are and what they are into. Hopefully his work with the Foundation will at least do some good for the increasingly besieged gays of Poland.

 

Andries, Petrus and Willem

large.AndriesPetrusandWillem.jpg.293af36baafc7070ae5edb1cc08dc80e.jpg

Andries was 9 years old when his twin brothers were born, and was in his late twenties and already gifted when they came out of the closet too. Shunned by their parents as Andries had been, Petrus and Willem moved in with their brother in Cape Town where they immediately began to explore the scene with him. The gifting of the twins followed soon after, as the three brothers gained a name and reputation for themselves in the Cape Community.

Andries met some founding members of the Foundation while on business in Johannesburg, and soon secured memberships for the whole clan. He now works full time running the organisation’s activities in the country, including the hugely successful BioHaz nightclubs in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Petrus and Willem share some of the burden, while also running a tour guide and safari business that offers a few ‘extras’ for visitors than other companies.

I have to admit that I don’t know this clan that well, having only met them a couple of times before the photo shoot. My boys seemed to enjoy them though. I am hoping to book onto a safari run by the younger brothers at some point!

 

Haruto, Kenji and Ren

large.HarutoKenjiandRen.jpg.19edea65f0ba24b0d3f461c964f87fca.jpg

Tokyo is known for its alternative, underground scene, and these three brothers are famed within that world. Their network of ‘onsen’ bathhouses, ‘ryokan’ inns and private clubs meets the demands of a growing segment of the city’s bachelor demographic, and they recently expanded operations into Nagoya and Osaka.

The brothers maintain an air of mystery within the Foundation, revealing little of their pasts but always demonstrating a firm commitment to expanding the organisation’s work and influence in Japan.

I had only met the brothers once before the photo shoot, when I went to Japan on business and was hosted at one of their crazily luxurious ryokans. Despite their formidable reputations, they showed me the absolute gold standard in hospitality, and ensured my needs were well taken care of throughout my stay. I’m really looking forward to going back to Japan with Jacob and Eli on holiday next year.

 

Carlos, Alvaro and Antonio

large.CarlosAlvaroandAntonio.jpg.88fc7436423de99986faba51146a2972.jpg

Founder and promoter of the RegaloX superclub in Ibiza, Carlos is a giant in the Spanish dance music scene. He became involved in the Foundation’s work through a friend at his HIV support group, and set about running annual FoundryXXX nights as part of his regular programme. However, everything changed when his sister sent her twin sons to him for work experience. Having assessed their potential, he soon had the young men up on podiums to show off their incredible physiques, and it was at a FoundryXXX night that he then found both his nephews doing some extra entertaining for customers in the private lounges. Given the clientele present that night, their gifting followed shortly after, as did permanent positions at the superclub. All three became full members of the Foundation the same year.

Carlos continues to support the Foundation, now running up to four FoundryXXX events each year along with a special beach party to round out the summer season. The twins remain a popular draw both on and off the podiums, but are also now both training as lifeguards.

Carlos is one of my favourite people. He can be ruthless as a club promoter, but outside of that world there is nothing he won’t do for other people. His nephews are gorgeous but a little dim, so it’s probably for the best he has them focused on what their stunning bodies can do for them!

 

Cole and Carter (with Grant)

large.ColeandCarter(withGrant).jpg.053400728138677e40e7593798297116.jpg

Cole and Carter were born 10 months apart into challenging circumstances in Oklahoma. Already struggling to make ends meet, their father died in a car accident just days before Cole arrived, and their mother never really recovering from the ordeal. The boys endured neglect from their mother and abuse from a whole series of boyfriends, before they finally fled at 16 and 17 and slowly made their way to Fort Lauderdale in search of their father’s close friend and colleague Grant, one of the only people they both thought had their backs despite their mother having fallen out with him.

Unfortunately Grant was away at the oil fields for an extended period, and the boys fell in with the wrong crowd in South Florida. Manipulated into a life of crime and violence, the brothers soon wound up being arrested for a carjacking, and were sent down for the next three years. Although kept relatively safe for the first two years by virtue of being incarcerated in a juvenile facility, a transfer into a more violent prison when Cole turned 18 left them vulnerable to the advances of some of the older, stronger prisoners. By the time they were released to live under Grant’s supervision, they had both been gifted.

Grant took the boys under his wing and got them back on track, finding them work as mechanics at a friend’s garage. However, he soon realised that other things had changed in prison. Alone and scared, the boys had sought comfort in each other’s arms, something that had turned sexual after the facility transfer despite what they were having to endure on most days. Outside the prison walls this side of their relationship continued and even deepened, and Grant did not feel that the time was right to break it up while he helped them get back on their feet after the chaos, trauma and violence of their first two decades on the planet.

Grant himself had picked up the gift, the result of a torrid series of encounters with a fellow roughneck during one stint on a rig. Finding support through online communities, he also discovered the sizeable number of chasers desperately trying to find someone to help them. In this he saw potential for a new hobby and outlet for the boys that he could help to organise, and so the makings of their current life were put into action. A chance discovery of the Foundation by Grant also spurred him on to getting the boys joined up, so that they could access a wider support network should they need it.

Today the young men still live with Grant, and continue to earn an honest living by day as skilled mechanics. By night they do still comfort one another occasionally, but primarily their time is spent working alone or as a duo to service the clients Grant arranges for them to gift. Grant, in turn, extensively vets the chasers, with only a handful ever actually getting to meet the brothers. The clients pay what they can to cover Grant’s costs, and in return are promised what they are seeking from two young studs who already have quite the track record.

Truth be told, there were some in the Foundation who were a little uneasy about the arrangement Grant had set up for the brothers, myself included. However, some monitoring that we commissioned has shown that the boys are far from being the subjects of exploitation, and indeed appear to be thriving. They genuinely seem to now have a sense of purpose and belonging in all that they do, with the security that Grant offers them being augmented by the comfort they bring each other. They are both quite shy really, but Jacob and Eli usually manage to get them warmed up. Fun fact: Grant is not actually a member of the Foundation, but the boys insisted he be in their shoot as they would not be here without him. You have to give him that.

 

Vihaan, Sanjay and Aadi

large.VihaanSanjayandAadi.jpg.46f666427650afc632c1f00bd655b66e.jpg

Two of seven brothers, Vihaan and Sanjay stood out in their family growing up in a suburb of Delhi. Never destined to follow the sort of path their parents had hoped for, they instead moved together to Mumbai in their late teens and have never looked back. Separately discovering the allure of the underground scene, they soon began to explore its many opportunities together. Attendance at a nighttime party at the docks resulted in them being gifted at the same time, and they have been there for each other ever since.

The men had both found work in hotels, and in their late forties they used this experience to jointly set up a special kind of yoga retreat in the foothills of the Himalayas, which quickly became popular with tourists from all over the world. Eventually their youngest nephew Aadi joined their staff, and soon also followed in his uncles’ footsteps in other ways. He is now an accomplished yoga instructor and masseur, but is particularly well liked by guests for his other skills.

Founding member Kunal was one of the first guests at the retreat, and invited Vihaan and Sanjay to join the fledgling organisation once he saw the work they were doing. Aadi became a member more recently following his gifting. All three men devote some of their time to supporting Kunal on operations in the subcontinent, while also working to establish a second retreat in Goa.

I have been to the retreat a few times now, and have always been particularly taken by Vishaan and Sanjay’s warmth and hospitality. Aadi is also a sweet boy, but thrives on being busy with guests so I have never got to spend much time with him other than during his quite excellent massages.

 

Albert, Bobby and Billy

large.AlbertBobbyandBilly.jpg.20825652f554ec4207c0c0cc3a2eb57f.jpg

Kingpin of the semi-amateur boxing scene in London’s East End, Albert threw himself into a new kind of life following the untimely death of his beloved wife Ethel in the early 1990s. Many years later his daughter’s twin boys Bobby and Billy began training with him, and once they turned 18 he introduced them to the rest of the scene as he suspected they would be interested. The boys have since become gifted boxers in every way.

Albert and the boys joined the Foundation after some members attended an amateur boxing night in Bow, and have since taken on managing its activities across the East End and wider Thames Gateway area. Bobby continues to live with Albert in Plaistow, whilst Billy recently moved in with his boyfriend across the river in Charlton.

Albert is a friendly chap, and seems to know someone who can come and fix any problem that you may have. Bobby and Billy are both sweet lads whose appearance and profession belies that they are truly gentle and humble young men. Eli in particular spends a lot of time with Bobby, and I do sometimes wonder if there might be something more there.

 

Eduardo and Estêvão

large.EduardoandEstevao.jpg.3f41d12ad15afc00643b796dee95ae29.jpg

Proudly poz and always happy to share, these brothers from Rio de Janeiro know how to party. Unapologetically sexual with each other, they also make it known that their favourite activity is to be joined by a versatile buddy who can satisfy Eduardo while taking everything Estêvão has to give. Most members of the Foundation have joined in on occasions.

The brothers joined the Foundation after picking up a member on Copacabana Beach, and now support its activities in Rio when they’re not partying.

Ah, a Brazilian sandwich. Happy memories…

 

Olusegun, Adebayo, Tunde and Kayin

large.OlusegunAdebayoTundeandKayin.jpg.d36e5b4377f429b617684f9f5e61f96d.jpg

Olu and his younger brother Ade are the senior members of a wealthy family living in a sprawling seaside compound in the affluent Ikoyi neighbourhood of Lagos. The family has a tradition of embracing offspring who desire an alternative to the traditional lifestyle, and sons in particular are inducted into an inner circle if they are a good fit. As the oldest sons of their father (the head of the family), Olu and Ade were expected to marry and produce heirs despite their obvious interests elsewhere, but once their duties had been done their father sent them to one of his brothers to help steer them on a new path, and their enthusiasm for this world led to them discovering and joining the Foundation.

Olu’s youngest son Tunde and Ade’s middle son Kayin were discovered by their grandfather exploring their sexuality with one another, and each was sent to the other’s father for mentoring, support and eventual gifting. They are now well known in Lagos’s underground scene, both being energetically versatile and very generous with their gifts. Their fathers focus on managing the family’s businesses and Foundation activities, while discreetly expressing the feelings they eventually found that they have for each other.

The family has such a close connection with London that I get to see them several times a year, and I have also stayed at their palatial compound a couple of times as well as at a separate beach villa they have further along the coast. Olu and Ade are sweet, although it takes a while for them to relax and be affectionate with each other when others are around. Tunde and Kayin know no such restraint, and have got crazy levels of both appetite and stamina. My boys tend to be better able to entertain them than I am, but I’ve certainly worn myself out a few times trying!

 

Klaus, Anton and Max

large.KlausAntonandMax.jpg.40266810c5ddede9eb3b95cf364f4761.jpg

Klaus helped to establish the Foundation, after connecting with a select group of other men who had a special relationship with a family member that had been elevated through gifting. In this case it was with his eldest son Anton, who had sought comfort in his father’s arms following the death of his wife while giving birth to Max. The two shared their journey together as they faced up to their feelings, and in time they began to explore all that their home city of Berlin had to offer.

Max grew up living with his father and grandfather, but in his teenage years began to yearn to understand his background further. He therefore finished his schooling before travelling to Istanbul to stay with his other grandparents, keen to learn more about his mother, his roots, and who he was. It was during the early part of this trip that he had a formative encounter with a male cousin, leading to an exploration of the alternative scene in the city, and by the time he returned to Berlin he knew which way he was inclined.

Suspecting his father may be gay as well, he opened up about his experiences, and in turn Anton revealed his own story. Klaus joined them to talk about his own journey, and in time the three men realised they all wanted to share in the love and bonding that Klaus and Anton enjoyed. Max’s gifting followed soon after, and he of course then joined the Foundation.

The three men continue to live in Berlin, and their versatility makes them popular with residents and visitors alike. They jointly work on the Foundation’s activities in Germany, while running the popular and well-renowned Das Geschenk restaurant.

I don’t know Klaus that well, partly because his English isn’t the best, but Anton is a good friend of mine and Pierre’s, and a regular visitor to Antibes when he needs to escape the Berlin winter. Max is close to Jacob and Eli, and comes to London to stay quite often so that they can go out and explore the scene together, and I know for a fact that he’s joined them in entertaining some of my clients from time to time.

Caleb, Jacob and Eli

large.CalebJacobEli.jpg.e9647af05cab3ec2c9793d967e206b31.jpg

One of the world’s most successful art dealers, Caleb now splits his time between homes in London and Antibes, though is often traversing the globe buying and selling paintings and sculptures. He married young to appease his parents while he struggled with his sexuality, and that union produced a son and a daughter, and then some years later two more boys in quick succession, namely Jacob and Eli. However, his increasing exploration of other opportunities eventually resulted in his gifting, which catalysed a divorce when the boys were 15 and 16.

Although Caleb suspected his youngest sons might be gay, this was confirmed for him when they were 19 and 20 and he found them being used as the main entertainment at a club in Soho. His status had been an object of fascination and envy for the boys, and that night also proved to be the moment they joined him. Having heard about the Foundation from a client, Caleb joined up and brought his sons in once they were ready.

Jacob and Eli live in Caleb’s London home, and actively mentor junior members of the Foundation alongside their jobs as trainers at the exclusive Mayfair gym and spa their father invested in. Both proud bottoms, the young men have overcome their father’s misgivings and now help him to ‘seal the deal’ on many a transaction through the extra entertainment they provide his clients. Caleb, meanwhile, is in an open relationship with his partner Pierre, and devotes as much time as his life allows to being a role model for his youngest sons and a supportive father to his other two children.

Well, there we are. You have to admit, Jacob and Eli are quite a pair, and I can see why they are so popular on the scene and with my clients. It took a lot of convincing me that they could play a role in my business, and I remain very selective about which clients I am willing to introduce them to despite their assurances that they are happy and able to take anything that is thrown at them. I suppose, given how I found out about them, that should not surprise me.

The boys, it turned out, had been following me to see where I went for fun, and then had gone to the same places when I was away to experience for themselves the scene I was into. However, on that fateful day I had made the decision to come back early from Madrid having secured a deal more quickly than I expected, and had headed straight out to my favourite club to celebrate. It was pumping, and I was looking forward to getting down to business. However, as always I did a quick explore to see what was on offer around all the different spaces, and it was in the largest of the playrooms that I had the wind taken out of me. Down on all fours on a mat was Jacob, and lying on his back in a sling was Eli. Both were being spit roasted, with a line of men waiting to take a turn at one of their holes. Biohazard symbols and scorpions adorned many of the men, and I knew there was no chance that any of them were using condoms.

I watched the scene in stunned silence for a very long time, my paternal instincts to grab the boys and get them out of there being countered by the obvious eagerness with which they were taking on each and every new man. I clung on to some small hope that my sons were sensible enough to be using PrEP, but then again I hadn’t been and a small part of me just knew that they were probably following in my footsteps with some sort of deliberate intent.

Eventually I could take no more, and forced myself out of the room and indeed the whole club. The entrance was in an alley, which I walked up a bit and then stood to smoke countless cigarettes while I tried to process what I had witnessed. It was there that I watched as my sons emerged from the club, wearing just jocks, tank tops and boots, and lit up their own cigarettes while presumably on a break from their gangbang. My sons, the apples of my eye, were a pair of cumdumps who it appeared had also picked up another of my bad habits.

I took a deep breath, and then walked back down the alley towards them. As I came into the light from the lamp outside the club entrance they saw me, and the most awkward moment of my entire parenthood began. Eventually they agreed to get the rest of their stuff and come home with me, and that night none of us slept as we talked and argued our way to dawn. However, they eventually wore me down, and I accepted that I had to support them on their journey as they were going down this path with or without me.

These days my relationship with my youngest sons is something I cherish, and the freedom we all feel in sharing far more details of our lives with each other than most parents and children would is truly liberating. I am very much more of a typical divorced dad in how I interact with my older son, daughter and their families, so having something far closer with Jacob and Eli is very special to me.

The boys are basically insatiable, and I suspect days when they don’t take at least one load each are rare. They assure me they don’t actually do anything with each other, besides quite regularly bending over together to take on one or more tops. They have proved to be very useful in helping me clinch several important deals, and are always happy to entertain my clients to keep them sweet even when there isn’t a piece of art involved. Despite their focus on getting gifted themselves, they are not particularly fussed about sharing with others and thus keep themselves healthy, something that does give me some reassurance despite how regularly I bring other men over to the cause while on my travels.

My life with Pierre is fantastic, particularly now that we have largely set up home on the Riviera, albeit with regular trips to London. My work keeps me busy and I have to travel regularly, and we have each other’s blessing to play when I’m away, in my case usually involving explorations of the underground scene wherever I may be. However, when we’re together we are surprisingly vanilla, and I can see that at some point I’m going to want to slow down and settle into that world a bit more. Until then I am happy to continue spreading the reach and influence of the Foundation!
