Thoughts on Chaturbate




  I've been challenged to write about something 'now' and 'sexy'. Chaturbate is nearly enough now and almost sexy.  It is to established camshow sites what Uber is to London black cabs. 
  You can watch a Chaturbate performer's show for free and, if you especially like something that they do, tip them with pre-bought tokens. They might smoke, for one popular example, put down their mobile phone for more than five seconds; react hilariously to their cat jumping into shot and landing just where you wouldn't want an open claws scenario. 
  That sort of thing.
  There are rules: No spamming. Do not insist the cam hosts to do as you please. Do not announce other rooms or websites that would conflict with this room. Avoid any argumentative and/or rude posts related to the cam viewing. Do not attempt to post your e-mail address in the public chat.
  An announcement on the public chat feed from a rival performer offering free tokens on their page will be immediately deleted and the performer in question blocked from the feed. An announcement for a professional cam show site was given similarly short shrift, as was one offering passes to a strip club in downtown L.A., one for penis enlargements and a third for Rinso washing powder. 
  Second thoughts - as yesterday afternoon I was half researching Chaturbate for this blog and half watching three Miss Marples back to back, I may be at cross-purposes with myself over that Rinso announcement. 
  All good clean- no, don't pardon the pun, I don't deserve it - fun, except that the professionals have waded in. 
  There are hairy legged, concave chested, convex bellied boy-next-door types, broadcasting from a bedsit via an iphone turned portrait - as there should be. But there are also the uber-buff, all over immac'd, eyes slightly too close together Solo professional porn performers, being filmed by a subsidiary of Universal Pictures in a sexualised nowhere landscape. Our boy next door will be happy to give a full sex show for tips of single tokens, whereas our uber-buffoid will have a reserve estimate of two hundred and ninety-tokens for a flash of his slightly lesser-developed pectoral. And he will make that reserve. 
  To me this reeks of the sadness of a Royal Ballet principal needing to do open class at Pineapple for the ego-boost, or the fully paid up muscle mary intimidating the everyday users of the council provided gym machines in the park opposite Turnpike Lane tube station. I asked on a chaturbate community feed how such clearly professional actors were permitted on what was ostensibly an amateur site.
  The answer I got was that Chaturbate caters for all-comers
  Oops...

Me Featuring in The Sunday Times, Nicely...

  This happened. The editor thinks it's a book of dog sitter stories waiting to happen. I am scribbling away at same...  I first house-sat by accident. I was originally at Haven House, Lembton, as a live-in safety net for Lady Olive Simmonds, a seventy-nine year-old Bostonian with a lilac afro, a Temazepam habit and leg ulcers. Haven House was by the sea. Eighteenth century, elegant, comfortable.  But there was Olive... Always in pain; either drunk, hungover or both; barely educated. She had married a man who was knighted, and believed this gave her a licence to be a twat. According to Olive, her fellow Lembtonians were all dull academics - this group having reading ages older than hers, which was thirteen - or failed schizophrenics. She had serious monophobia, with staff working (unnecessarily) every day apart from weekends. At weekends, first thing, anxious, she would ring round the Lembtonians that were still speaking to her - six in number - inviting them for coffee, ...

The Marine Says I Must Re-queer...

                                                                 Being camp in Camp Basra... Stacks, ex-Royal Marines Commando, recently watched my Tutu Went AWOL! show on Zoom. He had notes. I was shifting from foot to foot, he said, and gesturing too much. 'And you must put back the stuff about the Brigadier and your fellow comedian being homophobic...' The Brigadier had been sneering about my act, saying it would be more suited to Butlins. But, more importantly, he believed I was an 'inappropriate influence on 42 Commando'.  Stacks, deadpan, commented, 'Sir, before Iestyn started hanging out with us, sir, it had never occurred to him to play Tiddlywinks with anything other than his thumb, sir.'  My fellow comedian, who I'll call Mark, because that's his name, asked Reg, Garrison Sergeant Major, in front of ...

I Love the Library

                            Therese, soprano, never uses a library. ‘Oh, no, Iestyn. Unlike you, I pride myself on always buying my books.’ I agree with Helene Hanff, who said that buying a book you haven’t read is like buying a dress without trying it on. ‘How do you know the dress will fit, Therese?’ I asked. ‘I always know what’s going to fit me, book-wisely speaking. I tune into asking the universe what it needs me to read for the greater good, go into the bookshop and find that I’m drawn to a department, then a section of carpet, then the particular shelf and there will book the book, in a sort of outline of almost light picked out from the others around it.’ ‘But there are billions of books out there, Therese, in umpteen shops, divided into squillions of bits of carpet and…’ She was giving me her look: a nurse at my hospital bed telling me the prognosis was far from ideal. ‘Yes, but with me it’s narrowed down q...
