Here’s a male burlesque performer from NYC:
Name: Happy, Male, 40
Do you want to fuck men, women, or both: Women
Last time you got laid (details!): Well, it was last year. Had a short fling with this girl. She was law student and very busy. She ended up dropping me. Probably my first real experience with cock worship, she was enthusiastic. I sure do miss her…
Your living arrangement: Apartment, with a roommate, she’s a good friend of mine.
Job situation: IT (Computers), it’s a job, I like it occasionally.
Fashion sense (what do you usually wear?): I could use help here, frankly. But usually I’m a tshirt and jeans kind of guy. If I had a little more money, I could be pretty flashy. Wearing a suit, and a wild one, is not unknown for me.
Grooming habits: I shower daily. I normally do not wear cologne. Strong scents hanging around my head like a cloud annoy me. I use natural anti-deoderant. I’ve been letting my hair grow out of late, so I use an amlika based hair product to keep it under control.
Do you floss regularly? Every couple of weeks, or when I feel like I need it. I have pretty good teeth.
Do you smoke? No. At least not tobacco. Mary jane socially.
Do you exercise regularly? Unfortunately I do not. This is likely my biggest problem. I do pay for gym membership, but I don’t regularly go. I going to get a bike soon and ride it around.
I guess I better add in other hobbies: I do, on occasion, perform burlesque. I’m one of those rare straight, male burlesque performers. But yet, this does not get me laid. Even if I’m hanging out with scantily clad women.
How many people (of your target gender) do you currently know that you would like to fuck? What are the obstacles with each one (why aren’t you fucking them?) Too many to count. Well, in the case of other performers, often I don’t want the potential drama in my life. So I don’t pursue that as rigorously as I might. I do inquire on occasion, but I don’t come on strong at all. Some of girls I interact with are quite a bit younger than I am, so they are probably not interested. Another thing is I’m not sure what I want. I’ve played with the notion of polyamory, but that can turn off a lot of women, and I haven’t determined if I’m really wired that way. It’d be nice to have a girlfriend that I can possibly explore multiple paths with. But that commitment might require more than I want to give right now. I’m a late bloomer, too, so I don’t necessarily have the level experience that you might expect for someone my age. It does bother me. I would like to make up for lost time.
How’s your eye contact? Not good. I tend towards being shy. So, often I will not hold eye contact.
What kind of porn do you like? I don’t watch a lot of porn. But I don’t mind it, either. I watch just about anything. Along as it isn’t too violent. Probably prefer something more artistic… so if it is something like painted bodies that’d be cool. A mons pubis painted like a flower will get my attention. I like messy fun porn, too. Sploshing. Sometimes I don’t want to watch because it just reminds me of what I’m missing.
What’s your fetish? What turns you on? I’m probably kind of vanilla. If I have fetish, it’s just the female form. I like woman’s body. So body worship would be one fetish, it is something I could do, lick, kiss and massage from head to toe. That said, I’ve been kind of curious about the sploshing stuff, but I’ve never done anything in that vein, it just looks like a fun. And I think sex should be fun. If I could have sex in some sort of funhouse, that’d be cool. I’m curious about bondage, but generally I’m not a big fan of pain or blood.
Are you dom or sub (do you like taking charge or following orders? If rope was involved in sex, would you be tied up or do the tying?) I don’t know. I would like to try getting tied up sometime. If I learned how to do it right, I wouldn’t mind tying someone up and having my way with them. I want to experience both sides, so I guess that might make me a switch.
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate yourself when it comes to physical appearance (1 is hideous, 10 is model)? 6
Using that same scale, what’s the minimum number you expect your partner to be? 6
Car you drive or means of transportation: Mass transportation, I live in NYC after all.
Financial situation: Paying the bills, barely.
Your thoughts on breeding (have kids, wants kids, would you date someone who had kids?) I still have an open mind on having kids. Although I’m starting to feel I’m getting a little too old for that. But if I had partner who really wanted kids, I probably wouldn’t object. I kind of don’t want to be an insta-dad, so I tend to shy away from women with kids.
Religion: Agnostic, almost an atheist.
Charity you would give money to: Volunteer fire companies, theater companies, Burlesque Hall of Fame…
Music you listen to: Just about everything. Jazz, classical, death metal, folksy, blue glass. Big preference to the blues. Not a big fan of country, unless it’s old country, or fringe stuff like Hank Williams 3.
Movies you have loved: Original Star Wars, Casablanca, Tampopo, Big Lebowski, most of the Coen brother stuff.
Do you like to read? Yes. Science fiction, to historical fact, to mystery, to BDSM erotica, it would seem…
How often do you watch television? Not very often. I do not own a TV.
Person you respect/admire: Tom Hanks
Past relationship history (how many serious relationships have you had, are you divorced, how many times have you been in love): I haven’t really been in one. At least not for more than a couple of weeks.
Any physical issues: Little overweight, that’s pretty much it.
Weird habit: I don’t think so. But friends could disagree. I often masturbate more than once a day but I only do that someplace private.
The Beautiful Kind’s verdict: Bravo for burlesque! But not for admiring Tom Hanks, that’s just too vanilla for me.
Oh and you need to floss more.
So, you know, I’m starting to think that shyness is the #1 reason for not getting laid. We need to banish shyness. I used to be shy, but it got in the way of being a goddess. How is it that you can perform burlesque and be shy??
And I have something I need to tell you. I feel weird saying this out loud, but it is just an honest fact. You are a redheaded male.
NOBODY has a thing for redheaded men. You hear people raving about redhaired women til the cows come home, and you hear women say they have a thing for blond surfer types or tall, dark and handsome men, but you NEVER hear someone say, “Mmm, give me a redhaired guy any day.” If any of my readers disagree with this statement, then PLEASE speak up.
This means you are at a disadvantage, and you need your wit and charm to carry you into the arms of open-minded vixens who are willing to overlook the fact that you sport clown hair.
So bone up on your confidence. Don’t be so wishy washy - I edited out quite a few “kind of,” “a bit,” and “maybes” from your answers. Seems like you have great taste, are multi-faceted, and live in the city with the highest number of potential sex partners in the world.
Allow me to give you a sub task: In the next week, take the initiative and ask a woman out. And don’t be wimpy about it! It can even be online. I recommend you go for a strong, dominant type girl for maximum compatibility. I know there are plenty of those types in the wild world of burlesque. Va va VOOM!
