Boxer Oscar de La Hoya has always had tremendous crossover appeal, Latino/non-Latino, male/female and straight/gay. His looks and body have made him an icon to many gay fans.

But he tells gay Latino magazine qvmagazine.com that while he's flattered by the attention, he's not into beating up guys in the ring and kissing them outside.
The last part of an article in QV had this following exchange:

Q: "And lastly, your fame is based on many things-your boxing, your celebrity, your good looks, and more. This leads some of your gay fans to wonder if you are gay. Just for the record-are you? ''

A: "No, not at all. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I respect the whole world. I am not gay, but I do have a lot of gay fans-and I am grateful to all of them for the support they have always given me in my career.''



Do Me Baby! Sex and Sports Do Mix

This is from Reuters News Service and should make all you weekend warriors and other jocks happy:

Contrary to popular wisdom that athletes should abstain from sex before a big event, Italian researchers said sex could enhance their performance by making them more aggressive.

‘‘The key is a player’s level of testosterone, the hormone related to both sex and aggression. Testosterone levels are known to be higher in men who are sexually active,’’ the British journal New Scientist said Nov. 24, 1999.

New research by Emmanuele Jannini, of L’Aquila University in Italy, showed that testosterone levels rise after sex.

`‘It’s an adaptive mechanism. If a man has sexual intercourse, testosterone causes him to desire the next sexual intercourse.’’

David Handelsman, a specialist in reproductive medicine at Australia’s Sydney University, described the research as thought provoking.

"This is the first clear evidence in the vexed relationship between male sexuality and testosterone,’’ he said.

The researchers said the decision about whether or not an athlete should have sex before an event should be based on whether the sport required aggression.

"It’s a matter of the character of the athlete. If he needs to be more aggressive it’s better to have sex,’’ Jannini added.


Three gays were discussing what they thought their favourite sport would be.
The first guy sighs, "American Football, because of all those gorgeous guys bending over in their tight pants."
The second guy sighs, "Wrestling, because of those skimpy little costumes."
The third guy sighs, "Baseball, because I'd be pitching with the bases loaded."
"And..." asked the other two.
The third guy continues, "The batter would hit a ground ball right to me, I'd catch it, and I'd just stand there while the other guys rounded the bases. Meanwhile, the crowd would be going crazy, and screaming, 'Throw the ball, you cocksucker!'

And, that's what I like -- the recognition."



Gross

Once inside the bank shortly after midnight, their efforts at disabling the banks internal security system got underway immediately.

The robbers, who expected to find one or two large safes filled with cash and valuables, were surprised to see hundreds of smaller safes Scattered throughout the bank.

The robbers cracked the first safe’s combination, and inside they found only a bowl of vanilla pudding.

As recorded on the bank’s audio tape system, one robber said, "At least we’ll have a bit to eat." The robbers opened up a second safe, and it also contained nothing but vanilla pudding.

The process continued until all the safes were opened. They found not one pound sterling, a diamond, or an ounce of gold. Instead, all the safes contained covered bowls of pudding.

Disappointed, the robbers made a quiet exit, each leaving with nothing more than a queasy, Uncomfortably full stomach.

The newspaper headline read:
IRELAND’S LARGEST SPERM BANK ROBBED EARLY THIS MORNING.
