Passive Duty: Gay 4 Pay Paratroopers Probed

Mark Simpson bravely gets to the bottom of the US Army’s gay porn scandal (Uncircumcised, uncensored version of exclusive which appeared in Details, April 2006 ) . “Is this your first time with a guy?” asks Jason solicitously in his Tennessee burr. “Erm… no,” I stutter, “not exactly…”. It’s an odd question for me to be asked by a straight paratrooper who is trying to fluff me. But then, this is a rather odd situation. I am on a bed wedged between not one but… Read More »Passive Duty: Gay 4 Pay Paratroopers Probed

Soldiers & Cadets Acting Gaily On Video (Again)

Here are the cadets of Ulyanovsk flight school, Russian Federation, relaxing in their dorm. With a special guest appearance by a banana. This charming video upset conservatives, including the head of the college, but prompted a host of similar videos by Russian students in response to talk of disciplining some of the participants – and the intervention of the Governor of the Ulyanovsk region to prevent expulsions. The Russian lads were performing a homo-age to this highly ‘satisfying’ British Army classic some years ago. Which… Read More »Soldiers & Cadets Acting Gaily On Video (Again)

Why Straight Soldiers Can’t Stop Acting Gay on Video

Way back in the last century, before the Interweb swallowed everything, my friend and accomplice in literary crime Steve Zeeland and I were visiting, as you do, Camp Pendleton, the giant US Marine Corps base in Southern California with some jarhead friends. We spent the afternoon watching the Marine Rodeo – scores of grinning fit Texan boys in tight Wranglers and high-and-tights bouncing up and down on broncos and slapping each other’s butts. Perhaps you’ll understand why, after having seen this, the Details fashion shoot that… Read More »Why Straight Soldiers Can’t Stop Acting Gay on Video

Sexual Outlaws: ‘Gay For Pay’ Paratroopers

This month’s Details magazine carries a letter (which Details strangely neglected to show to me) by veteran gay writer John Rechy, author of the cult 60s hustler novels City of Night and Numbers, and the 70s plea for homo tolerance The Sexual Outlaw (books I enjoyed as teenager in the 80s). He takes issue with my recent story on the gay porn scandal involving the 82nd Airborne. After agreeing that it was wrong for the young enlisted paratroopers to be punished so severely by the… Read More »Sexual Outlaws: ‘Gay For Pay’ Paratroopers

Mark Simpson’s Inside Story on the US Army’s Gay Porn Scandal

The current (May) issue of the proudly metrosexual Details magazine includes an ‘undercover’ exclusive by yours truly on the globally-reported gay porn scandal involving paratroopers from the elite 82nd Airborne, ‘America’s Honor Guard’. Billed charmingly at the top of the front cover as: ‘INSIDE THE SORDID PORN SCANDAL THAT’S ROCKING THE ARMY‘. A couple of years ago my buddy and The Queen is Dead co-author Steve Zeeland tipped me off to the existence of activeduty.com, the then little-known military porn website now at the centre… Read More »Mark Simpson’s Inside Story on the US Army’s Gay Porn Scandal
