Bill

Bill Cable (born William Laurence Cumpanas; May 2, 1946 – March 7, 1998) was an American model, actor and stunt performer.

Notes Wikipedia . . .

From 1970, Cable was a model for Colt Studio Group, a producer of gay male erotica and pornography, where he was photographed by Jim French. He was also photographed by Bob Mizer for the Athletic Model Guild. During this time, he used the alias “Stoner.”

Cable later posed for the book More Nudes, photographed by Kenn Duncan, whose collection was donated to the New York Public Library by Kenn Duncan's brother and sister in 2003. He was also photographed by Tommy Marshall, Ray Allen, Robert Scott Hooper, Dave Sands, Jeff Dunas and for Playgirl by David Meyer, Raul Vega and Mr. Blackwell. He also appeared in straight softcore pictorials, published in Hollywood Hotline, Star Nudes, and Hollywood Rated X in the 1970s.

Photos of Cable have been published in many magazines, including Vanity Fair, After Dark, Honcho, Manpower!, Blueboy, Drummer, Q International, Torso, Olympus (first edition in January 1972) and Mandate (first edition in April 1975).

Through his associations with the gay erotica scene, Cable found work in both straight and gay erotic films (both softcore and hardcore), as well as a stunt performer and body double in mainstream productions.

His first appearance as a whip-wielding leatherman in Bijou (1972), was directed by Wakefield Poole. Cable starred in the short erotic gay film Cooling It in 1973. Though he appeared in several hardcore films, Cable rarely, if ever, performed in the unsimulated sex scenes, which were performed by body doubles (including John Holmes) via insert shots.

Cable made a handful of mainstream acting appearances, including in Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) and Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988). His best-known role was as rock star Johnny Boz in the Paul Verhoeven erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992), where he is memorably murdered in the opening scene, mid-coitus, with an ice pick.

. . . He married Shirley Cumpanas in Nevada in 1985 and she had an affair with Christian Brando, son of actor Marlon Brando, which led to their divorce. . . . He was later in a relationship with Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira.

. . . In October 1996, Cable was involved in a motorcycle accident in Laurel Canyon in which he sustained a fractured vertebra in his neck, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Cable died of these injuries on March 7, 1998, at the age of 51.

Time to Go Inwards

Writes Brigit Anna McNeill . . .

The year has come to a close, summer and spring’s fertile energy of growth and productivity has decayed away; the energy of the land is no longer geared towards outward displays. A soft wet darkness has taken hold and it is time to go inwards.

Inwards into our soil, closer to our souls, the dark and non-verbal place of feeling, where the language older than words sings to us and we find the voice of who we are, the seeds that wish to be grown into our lives.

A threshold opens up on the land, inviting a whole new way of being, a way that is as ancient as the earth’s bones but which goes against the modern cultural narrative of busyness, youth and productivity. And because of this, many struggle with the invitation the wild gives us at this time.

For perhaps those that struggle have depended on certain ways of being that give them external validation, or perhaps they haven’t learnt how to sit in quietude with themselves and fear what they will find there.

Yet the wild shows us over and over that we are cyclical beings, ever changing and shifting so we can live a healthful life; that the inner journey is just as vital and the outer.

This time is an invitation to drop all that isn’t you or what stands in the way of your becoming, and like a heavy cloak, let it compost away, so you can come nearer to your own magic.

This is a death, a death of old ways, given up as a gift, so we can grow.

Buddies

The Leveret’s series celebrating mutual masturbation between two or more men continues.

As noted in the first installment of this series, those who participate in this activity sometimes refer to themselves as “jack-off buddies” or “j/o buddies.”

The Leveret’s “Buddies” series features images found online of jack-off buddies accompanied by various writings about the sexual practice of mutual masturbation.

In this fifth installment I share an excerpt from Bateworld, “the premier online men’s masturbation community for gay, bisexual, and straight guys from all over the world.”

Enjoy!

Most straight guys would say that the idea of sharing a masturbation session with another guy (and even giving him a hand) isn’t the most exciting thing they can picture. But studies have shown that reported sexual orientation has little to do with sexual and masturbatory fantasies, and an overwhelming number of straight men have at least thought about what another penis might be like.

And a surprising number of straight, bi-curious, and gay men have lived out those fantasies about shared mutual male masturbation every day. The thing about masturbation is that it is entirely free from orientation. Masturbating with or in front of another man doesn’t make somebody gay. It just means they understand male masturbation.

Leaving behind strict rules about what’s considered straight and what’s considered gay, mutual masturbation offers men a chance to explore their pleasure and connect with others in a profound and sometimes intimate way. . . . Mutual male masturbation is not a gay thing – it’s just a male thing.
