Ouch! Coat hangers can be tricky things.

I can’t help it. I have this strange fascination for urinals. (Is it me or do you share?)

So, there are these public (sort of) arenas where men touch their cocks – no, hold their cocks – in a very casual, mundane, everyday manner. And me, I can never be casual about cock because I don’t have one. I will be forever fascinated, forever wanting to touch, forever wanting dick. Ohmygollygosh. Yes, I will.

But wow, listen, there are these places where men go (where I am not allowed, dammit!) and they stand there (but not too close!) holding their cocks and pissing and generally ignoring each other and chasing cigarette ends (what replaced cigarette ends after the ban?) down the drain with their stream.

Then they just put away their cocks and leave! All over!

Sometimes, the most ordinary, everyday things are the most strange and amazing and wonderful.

After last week’s headless Man Candy, this week we’re all about the head. Well, Channing Tatum’s head, to be exact, and the lovely exposure of his armpit.

For more pit pics, check out The Beauty of his Armpits, an old post on my blog currently getting some fresh interest from guys discussing the merits of maschalomania and what works for them: hair or bare? subway or supermarket? deodorant or sweat?

And today’s ECW dilemma: Channing Tatum or Channing Tatum?

Hmm, maybe I’ll stare a little longer while I decide. And as I do so, I’ll send good thoughts to Scotland and wish Channing a speedy recovery from his recent scalded in a wetsuit accident. Really Channing, if you want warming up, you only need ask.

Hey, you know what’s terrible? I don’t think we have ever done a headless Man Candy. Shocking! I mean, how else are all our straight male readers going to identify.

Here you go!

(What do you mean straight men don’t get off on identifying with random images of headless male torsos? I don’t understand.)

How come I only ever have washing-up in my sink? Why not Daniel Craig? Jeez, life’s so unfair.

Why is it so hard to find a good pic of a naked man wearing glasses? I mean really, there’s only this ONE? On the entire internet? Someone should get on that.

Meanwhile, if you don’t follow Kristina and me on Twitter you might have missed our recent pieces in The Guardian’s Comment is Free section.

Here’s my piece about Breast Cancer imagery 
And Kristina’s piece about female ejaculation in UK porn.

And if you want more, visit our profile pages and catch up on the other pieces we’ve written.

It’s amazingly exciting that we are getting to take our ideas to such a huge audience. And we could never have done it without the support of all cover watch’s avid and supportive blog readers. So thank you! Kristina’s latest piece even got a feature on Gawker Media blog Jezebel, so I guess they aren’t cross with us for what we said about Fleshbot. Thank god, we don’t want everyone to blacklist us. 

Talking of the piece about Fleshbot, we were delighted with the response to it and plan to write more articles about female sexuality issues not necessarily related to book covers. For the next piece in our Sex Uncovered strand we’ve been looking into the neglected, hidden, ignored, outright denied world of Male Burlesque. More on that to come, but I will say, when men pole dance it makes kittens smile (and that probably is some kind of euphemism).

But we do still write about book covers. Come back on Thursday and I just might do that.

PS Oh, and if what really gets you excited is the idea of Twitter! Then follow us both. We’ll always post here if we write articles elsewhere, but you’ll find out about them first if you track our tweets.
