Lost in the Annals of Time

Brown hares are perhaps one of the few introduced species that people tend to mistake for natives. Precisely when they are brought to Britain is lost in the annals of time, but archaeological evidence points to an introduction at some point during the Iron Age, while genetic data suggest these animals were brought from the Netherlands or Denmark. The Brown hare was once a common sight in Britain's agricultural land but appears to be in decline, largely as a result of habitat loss and, perhaps, continued persecution from hare coursers. Today, despite remaining widespread, their stronghold is southern England and, particularly East Anglia and Kent.

A Standing FUPA and Belly Fat Workout

“FUPA” is a slang acronym for Fat Upper Pubic Area, referring to a bulge of fat or a soft, pouch-like area of fat that sits directly above the groin and below the lower stomach. Popularized by Beyoncé in a 2018 Vogue interview after her pregnancy, the term describes a common body feature in both women and men that can be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone.

The following 8-minute video by personal trainer Brandon Palmer is a standing routine that targets FUPA and belly fat in general.

About Brandon’s workouts, one follower says: “Thank you Brandon, for amazing workouts that get people up and moving with effective workouts that don’t overwhelm ❤.”

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 sixth 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!

Male bonding connected to non-sexual nudity and all male masturbation has been connected with various societies and tribal civilizations for centuries. And that’s not by accident. Many modern men have reported that mutual masturbation is an incredible way to explore your own sexuality and to create strong, validating bonds with other men. It reduces fear and competitiveness among men and facilitates a kind of teammate camaraderie that can extend well beyond the locker room or your buddy’s couch after a few too many on a late night.
