It’s a peculiar endeavor considering that the internet has come to dominate the porn industry’s distribution and viewership, hotel ordered porn seems counter-intuitive if not a lost cause. Yet BUTT, a magazine that has been at the vanguard of proving the mettle of traditional print in the age of the internet, has a knack for showing the wonders of what an honest perspective and keen thinking can do in defiance of all the hype.

In the tradition of forgoing the conventions of MSG* culture, the team at BUTT has put together a series of films that aren’t as immediately obvious as Bel Ami lovers or Falcon studs. Rather, they pooled from their own individual tastes and connoisseurship developing a range of erotic preferences representing the best of their genre. Whether it is forceful brutality or a gruff papichulo that gets you off, there’s something to illicit the stirrings of horny ambition for everyone. [Possibly NSFW]

OUT @ the Ace

OUT Magazine celebrated the release of its August issue at the new Ace Hotel and Homo Neurotic dropped by to check out the cocktails (by Appleton Estate Reserve Rum) and the crowd, which included a frenzy-inducing cameo by Randy Jones.  The space is an example of hotel lobby design at its best — a feature that hasn’t gone unnoticed in local press.  The evening’s soundtrack was spun out by the masterful DJ Josh Sparber.  Photography by Homo Neurotic’s Shutterbug.
