An extremely handsome, brooding, self-absorbed young man escapes the realities of his real world through a progression of fantasies. Obsessed with his own perfection, he lives in a dreamworld of intense colors, magnificent music, elaborate costumes and strikingly handsome men. In a series of sequences he imagines himself as a Roman slave chosen by the emperor, a triumphant matador vanquishing the bull (who is really a black leather clad cyclist), an innocent wood nymph gamboling in the woods, and a diaphanously dressed harem boy in the tent of the sheik.

When the Mirror Talks Back
Self-Image Photography
Think of yourself facing a mirror and looking into the reflection. Are you seeing your true self in the mirror or are you once again seeing the negative image you believe to be in that mirror? What if you saw what you truly look like right now, without old preconceptions, and it really looked great?
Howard Zucker's photography is helping people change the way they see themselves. He calls it SelfImage Photography and focuses on working with gay men on body image issues and improving selfesteem. Many gay men carry some type of negative image about themselves; whether originating from childhood teasing and bullying, repeated criticism, a traumatic experience, or comparison with idealized others.
Zucker has been photographing men for twenty-five years and has made a significant difference with many of his clients. He started photographing men when online dating required posting photos and saw that the men reacted in a way he never expected. Zucker says: “It was always a very impactful experience for the guys and most of them were shocked at how they looked in the pictures.” That started him to develop his unique type of therapeutic photography. He worked with a psychologist to help develop the process.
Zucker's clients are not models so he directs them into various poses that highlight the different positive aspects of their faces and bodies. Zucker says: “A negative body image develops over the course of one's life and change can take time. Self-Image Photography can often bring a shift in a person's understanding of themselves and how they view their body. The images from the photo shoot can start someone on a journey to self-discovery and can be

extremely healing.”
The photo shoot is meant to show the subject how he appears in all different types of clothing, from all different angles, and with various expressions. The session begins with talking about the clients' hesitations and concerns and making them as comfortable as possible. The more comfortable the person feels the better he will look in the photos. People are often astonished at how great they look in the pictures. Once they connect with the person in the photos, it becomes a very empowering experience as they see themselves in a different way than ever before.
“Howard is very intuitive,” said Mike, after his photo session. “The experience had a significant impact on my life. Howard was very patient as I was concerned about how I would look. I'm in my sixties and don't have the six-pack young gay guys often show. Howard put me at ease, and I was stunned that he made me look vibrant and sexy. The shoot gave me the confidence to begin acting with the local theater.”
Another client, Greg, in his fifties, was very overweight and always hid from the camera. “It took me a few months of talking with Howard to get comfortable enough to do a photo shoot. I was very nervous the day of the shoot, but Howard knew how to alleviate my concerns.” After seeing the photos, Greg realized, “Even with my extra weight I look happy and sexy.” For the first time, Greg was able to put photos on a couple of the online dating apps with confidence and is meeting men like never before.
Anthony, 46, was in a terrible car accident four years ago. He shattered ten teeth and required a few operations to fix the damage over time. “Having been in an accident that changed my appearance, I have a hard time seeing myself in photos. Howard gave me the opportunity to see myself through his lens and I couldn't be more pleased.” Anthony realized, “Now that so much time has passed, the scars
are barely visible at all, and the photos look great. Shooting with Howard was an amazing and emotional experience.”
Frank was always the skinny gay kid growing up in rural Michigan. After years of bullying it took a toll on his self-esteem. He is forty-nine and works with a trainer and has developed great biceps and a good physique. Whenever he looked in the mirror, he still saw the remnants of the thin, beaten-up child. The photos that we took showed him all the progress he has made and how muscular he has become. “I was shocked at what I was seeing. I started to well up with tears as I finally saw myself as a sexy muscular gay man. It's changed the way I feel about myself and how I carry myself out in the world.”
When Jeff came for his photo shoot, he explained he was always self-conscious about how he looked in photos. He felt he was always making a strange face with an uncomfortable-looking smile. “Howard made me relax and let go of my fears. He showed me how to make subtle changes in how I was holding my head and smiling, and I looked great! Now I smile proudly in all my photos. It was a terrific experience.”
Zucker's Self-Image Photography has helped countless individuals with issues ranging from weight, aging, hair loss, and severe body dysmorphia.

A group of gay and lesbian South Florida scuba enthusiasts have launched nonprofit Out Scuba, with a mission to create a safe, welcoming space in which LGBTQIA+ divers can explore the underwater world, connect with like-minded adventurers, and promote diversity, inclusion, and marine conservation in the scuba diving community.
“We are a vibrant and inclusive community of LGBTQIA+ scuba divers and ocean lovers,” says Christopher Duncan, a Fort Lauderdale small business owner who is helping spearhead Out Scuba, “dedicated to bringing together like-minded divers for unforgettable adventures, advocacy and lifelong connections.”
Initially focused in and around Fort Lauderdale and South Florida, Duncan says the group will serve not only members in and around that area, but also those who come to the area to enjoy one of the longest and most diverse barrier reef systems in the world. Eventually he envisions programming and chapters reaching across the country.
“Through group dives, training programs, social events, and environmental initiatives, we are building a supportive network where divers of all skill levels—from beginners to experienced dive pros—can find community above and below the water’s surface,” says Duncan, who has been certified since 2006 and was a PADI Master
Suba Diver Trainer from 2007 until he retired from teaching in 2021.
Out Scuba recently finalized its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, enabling it to, among other benefits, receive tax-exempt donations and access both public and private grants designated for nonprofit organizations.
“This transformation brings numerous benefits to enhance our ability to serve our community, promote inclusivity and support our shared passion for scuba diving,” says Andre Saade, a technology and program management professional in the life sciences industry who is another Out Scuba founder. “Nonprofit status also enhances our credibility and public trust, underscoring that we are committed to transparency, accountability and serving the public good. We are excited about the future and look forward to diving Greater Fort Lauderdale and beyond with LGBTQIA+ friends.”

Sub’s Mission
Miles Fallon Wants to Be Your Good Boy
By Shane Gallagher
Miles Fallon may be new to studio productions, but his journey to the world of adult entertainment has been anything but conventional. Hailing from small-town New Jersey, Fallon evolved from a theater kid to a high school jock, excelling in wrestling and track—sports that not only sculpted his physique but also awakened his exhibitionist streak. A passionate explorer of his own desires, his first same-sex experience with a fellow wrestler ignited a path of self-discovery that eventually led him to content creation on OnlyFans. Now, he takes his career to the next level, making his KinkMen debut in Bound Gods’ latest high-intensity BDSM film, My Good Little F*ckmeat, starring alongside Christian Wilde. We caught up with
Fallon from his home in Philadelphia to talk about his leap into the world of professional kink.
Can you take us back to the moment you first realized you had a passion for kink?
I was 20, and I met this tall, muscular law student through Instagram. One day, he messaged me about having a rough day and said I should come over to help him "get his aggression out." At the time, I had no idea what that meant. But the second I walked through his front door, he picked me up, carried me to his bed, tossed me in the air, spit on my face and slapped me. I was shocked—but also wildly turned on. Then he pulled me in close and whispered, "You're my good boy." The rush I felt in that moment was electrifying, and that was when I knew I wanted to explore the world of kink

Kink often plays with power dynamics. What role feels most natural to you?
I feel most at home as a sub—it’s where I naturally thrive. But in my personal life, I do enjoy switching things up now and then with the right partner. Playing the Dom role on occasion adds a new layer of excitement. Could you see yourself in a relationship with someone who isn’t as adventurous in bed?
Absolutely! Chemistry is everything. Even the most "vanilla" encounters can be incredibly intense if the connection is right. Kink is important to me, but I don’t see it as a strict requirement in a relationship—it’s about finding someone whose energy complements mine. Is kink more about the psychological aspect or the physical sensation?
For me, it’s almost entirely psychological.
a calm, confident presence on set, and that instantly put me at ease. I’m a fast learner, and he was patient and steady as a Dom. At one point, I turned to him and asked if I should be doing anything differently. He just smiled and said, "No—just listen, enjoy, and do what comes naturally." That advice stuck with me.
What are the must-have toys for someone interested in exploring BDSM?
I’m still learning and discovering new things in the BDSM world, but one thing I swear by is leather—it’s a must-have. The look, the feel, the scent—it adds so much to the experience. And if there’s one underrated item every beginner should have, it’s bed straps. Always be prepared! Now that you’ve made your Bound Gods debut, what’s next on your kink bucket list?
I have two big fantasies I’d love to bring to life. First, filming a public scene with a live audience watching—and maybe even participating. There’s something incredibly thrilling about that level of exposure. Second, playing the sub role in a consensual non-consent scene. The psychological aspect of power dynamics fascinates me, and I think that would be an incredible
Do you feel the gay BDSM industry is evolving in its representation and Definitely. People are becoming more open-minded and willing to explore new things at their own pace. I’d love to see that continue—more inclusivity, more representation, and more encouragement for people to embrace what excites them.
Last question: Miami or Fort Lauderdale?
Miami is a city I love, but more as a vacation spot than a home base. I adore the weather, but when it comes to Florida, I actually prefer the vibe in Fort Lauderdale.

If you’ve ever found yourself sluggish before hitting the gym, you’ve probably considered taking a pre-workout supplement. That little scoop of energy-boosting magic promises to turn you from a tired couch potato into a gym warrior. But is it all sunshine and gainz? Let’s break down the pros, cons, and some natural alternatives to get you pumped the right way.
What is Pre-Workout Anyway?
Pre-workout supplements are designed to enhance performance, increase energy, and improve endurance. They typically come in powder or pill form and contain ingredients like caffeine, amino acids, and nitric oxide boosters. Essentially, they are meant to help you push harder, lift heavier, and stay focused throughout your workout.
But before you start chugging neon-colored powder, let’s look at the pros and cons of pre-workout supplements.
The Pros of Pre-Workout
1. Boosts Energy and Focus
Most pre-workouts contain caffeine,
Leo Harley
which gives you a surge of energy and mental alertness. This can be a game-changer if you hit the gym after a long day at work.
2. Enhances Performance
Ingredients like beta-alanine and creatine help improve endurance and strength, allowing you to push past your usual limits.
3. Increases Blood Flow
Many pre-workouts contain nitric oxide boosters (such as L-arginine and L-citrulline) that improve circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. This can lead to better pumps and faster recovery.
4. Delays Fatigue
Beta-alanine helps buffer lactic acid build-up, meaning you can do those extra reps without feeling like your muscles are on fire.
The Cons of Pre-Workout
1. Jitters and Crashes
High caffeine levels can lead to shaky hands, anxiety, and a nasty crash after your workout. If you’re sensitive to caffeine, it’s
best to be cautious.
2. Potential Digestive Issues
Some people experience bloating, nausea, or an upset stomach from pre-workout ingredients, especially if taken on an empty stomach.
3. Overstimulation and Sleep Problems
If taken too late in the day, pre-workout can leave you staring at the ceiling all night, unable to sleep. It’s best to use it at least 4-6 hours before bedtime.
4. Artificial Ingredients and Fillers
Some pre-workouts contain artificial sweeteners, colors, and unnecessary additives that might not be the best for your health in the long run.
Safe Pre-Workout Options
If you’re looking for safer options, here are some well-researched, effective pre-workouts that I recommend:
Transparent Labs BULK – No artificial ingredients, moderate caffeine, and solid performance boosters.
Legion Pulse – Naturally sweetened, high in caffeine, and packed with science-backed ingredients.
C4 Original – A popular, budget-friendly option with moderate caffeine and beta-alanine.
When choosing a pre-workout, look for products with transparent labels, no proprietary blends (so you know exactly what’s in them), and reasonable caffeine levels (200-300mg is usually enough). How to Use Pre-Workout (Safely!)
1. Start Small – If you’re new to pre-workout, begin with half a serving to see how your body reacts.
2. Drink It 20-30 Minutes Before Exercise – This gives the ingredients time to kick in.
3. Stay Hydrated – Some pre-workouts can dehydrate you, so drink plenty of water.
4. Cycle Your Usage – Avoid taking pre-workout every day to prevent building a tolerance. Try to cycle off every few weeks.
5. Avoid Mixing with Other Stimulants – Too much caffeine can cause heart palpitations and anxiety. Be mindful of other sources like coffee or energy drinks. Natural Pre-Workout Alternatives
energy and performance before a workout:
1. Coffee
A simple cup of black coffee (or espresso) can provide a solid caffeine kick without the artificial additives found in many pre-workouts.
2. Bananas
Packed with natural sugars, potassium, and carbs, bananas are an excellent pre-workout snack for sustained energy.
3. Beetroot Juice
Beets are rich in nitrates, which improve blood flow and endurance. It’s great for cardio and high-intensity workouts.
4. Oatmeal with Honey
The combo of complex carbs from oats and quick-digesting sugar from honey provides both immediate and long-lasting energy.
5. Coconut Water with Chia Seeds
Coconut water hydrates while chia seeds provide slow-digesting energy—perfect for endurance workouts.
Should You Use Pre-Workout?
If you need an extra boost to crush your workouts, pre-workout supplements can be a helpful tool. However, they’re not essential, and many natural alternatives can provide similar benefits without the artificial additives.
Whether you go for a pre-workout supplement or stick to coffee and bananas, the most important thing is consistency in
If you’re not a fan of supplements, there are plenty of natural ways to boost your

Velvet LeNore
Daisy Deadpetals
“Killers of The Flower Moon” star and Academy Award nominee Lily Gladstone just wrapped a new project with filmmaker Mark Pellington (“Nostalgia”), one with more killing on the menu. The conspiracy thriller “Lone Wolf,” from an original screenplay by Tom Chilcoat, pairs Gladstone
Jennifer Ehle (“Zero Dark Thirty”). Gladstone plays a military vet struggling with addiction whose path crosses with a mercenary contractor (Cranston). When she’s pulled into a plot to commit a political assassination, she has to outwit everyone around her or take the fall. No word on when this one will be ready
for festivals or theatrical release, but principal photography has concluded in Albuquerque so look for it maybe later this fall.
Al Pacino joins Colman Domingo for Van Sant’s ‘Dead Man’s Wire’
In 1977, Tony Kiritsis kidnapped Richard Hall, the president of the mortgage company that was planning to foreclose on Kiritsis’ home. He rigged up a shotgun to a trip wire and kept it aimed at Hall’s head for over 60 hours. When it was all over, Kiritsis served time in a psychiatric facility until he was elderly. Now, following a 2018 documentary and a 2022 podcast featuring Jon Hamm, the story is getting the narrative feature treatment from veteran queer filmmaker Gus Van Sant (“My Own Private Idaho”). “Dead Man’s Wire” stars an ensemble including Al Pacino, Colman Domingo, Cary Elwes, Bill Skarsgard (“Nosferatu”), Dacre Montgomery (“Stranger Things”) and Myha’la (“Industry”) and will tell a story of ’70s economic desperation that feels not unlike the plot of the Pacino-starring classic of that era, “Dog Day Afternoon.” Production is in progress, so look for this one in 2026.
Kaluuya’s 59% Productions. If you’re an older adult and missed the phenomenon of “Barney & Friends,” the show ran on PBS from 1988 for 14 seasons and it dominated the lives of ’90s children, aka the built-in audience ready to turn this into the next “Barbie.” What will it be about? No one’s telling, but if Edebiri is the creative force then expect it to both comment and celebrate the somewhat surreal experience of friendship with a giant singing dancing purple creature who’d never survive in Jurassic Park. More as this develops.
‘Bookish’ promises cozy queer mystery
Fans of cozy murder mysteries, your wish list is about to be fulfilled with “Bookish.” You might not yet know British actor/writer Mark Gatiss’s name, but you’ve seen him all over the place: in “Sherlock,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Favourite” and “Mission: Impossible –Dead Reckoning Part One.” Now he’s developed “Bookish” for UK television (with PBS distribution to follow for North America) in Romeo San Vicente will not comply in advance.
which he stars as a gay bookshop owner living in post-WW2 England. He has a wife (“Bridgerton” star Polly Walker) who knows his secret, and he’s also a part-time sleuth, solving murder mysteries. In other words, we’re all getting the gift of an updated “Murder She Wrote” but with period production design, literary references, rain, and clandestine homosexuality. Coming soon.
