A Reluctant Farewell

Unfortunately, it appears I can no longer upload photographs or videos to this site, which means it's effectively moribund. Having been an active contributor for nearly nine-and-a-half years, I shall miss it deeply, but unless the administrators change their policy on verification, that's an end to it.… Read more

Adrienne Barbeau: The Naked Truth

[Article written in 2006 by actress Adrienne Barbeau, discussing the 1971 'nudie musical' Stag Movie, which required her to be fully nude throughout. The still below is taken from the show.] I'm sitting in my dressing room at the Actors' Playhouse in Sheridan Square. They've just finished painting it for me, a deep, dark green with cream-colored accents. I have a Berber rug and antique wooden chairs and ornate iron hooks to hang my costumes on. My Judy Garland costumes: a bejeweled gold brocade pantsuit from The Val… Read more

Is XHamster dying as a community?

I am surely not alone in noticing many of those who were once regular visitors and contributors to this site have dropped away over the past couple of years. When I tried recently to set up another of my one-off galleries, like those I've run in the past to mark various public holidays, I was unable to make contact with a significant number of those who've appeared previously and no one else responded to the announcement. Perhaps the growth of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram et al means the end of XHamster. If so, I shall regret its passing, and that of the community I had hoped would continue t… Read more

Halloween Gallery 2015

Having already run four events here -- two for Xmas, plus one each for Valentine's Day and St Patrick's Day -- I've decided to run a fifth, to celebrate Halloween. The usual rules apply. Ladies only (sorry, chaps, but feel free to post on your own page); you show as little or as much as you wish (don't forget, you can always shield your shyness behind a mask); image files must be with me by Saturday, 24 October. To prove your contribution isn't simply the result of photoshopping, please ensure a Circle R symbol like… Read more

Worth a Thousand Words: An Update

Since my most recent blog, my original 'Hotels' gallery has grown to such a size that I've had to add a second. They have much in common, many of the photographs inviting the viewer's personal interpretation, perhaps in the form of a private fantasy sparked by the untold tale unfolding before the camera lens. So far, my friends DanielPortenio and Atomus72 have joined me in conspiring to imagine these secret encounters, leaving them as comments under the individual images, but it would be such fun if… Read more

Worth a Thousand Words

Maybe I'm alone in this, but when faced with striking images, I often find my mind wandering into the Realm Erotique. Some of the galleries here on Xhamster have been particularly fruitful in that regard. Anyhow, I was wondering if others had similar fun mining this site for the rich ore of sexual fantasy. I even launched one of my more recent galleries, 'Hotels', with that very intention. All those young ladies, wandering the corridors semi-naked for reasons unknown or slyly slipping into the rooms of the chap they've only just met in the bar, so many secretive encounters behind a '… Read more

Santa Claus is Cumming to Town

It's been suggested I run another 'event' for the yuletide season, following the success of last year's advent calendar. Since we're only a week away from December, it's too late to organise anything along those lines, but I guess I could put something together similar to this year's Valentine's and St Patrick's Day parades. If any ladies are interested in taking part, please leave a comment below. For further details, check out my reply to Leslee. 2014 advent calendar: http://tinyurl.com/k4gfwjs Valentine's Day… Read more

A Den of Thieves

It was brought to my attention this morning that my profile page has been cloned on another website, presumably in the hope that my content will attract additional traffic towards the advertisements which have been inserted into the ersatz Rodent1 page. The odds are, if you Google your own username and that of the culprit - SexMob9 - you'll be directed towards a similar facade. You may have noticed I have placed a warning notice on my front page. If you wish to copy it into your own, that is one piece of personal content I'm happy to see diseminated. Simply click on 'edit profile', paste in… Read more

A Cautionary Tale

I received a telephone call this morning from one of the banks with whom I currently hold a credit card, informing me that a charge in excess of £500 (US$800) had been applied to my account, apparently by a travel agency. The bank's anti-fraud department became suspicious when authorisation was sought for a further £1, a frequent gambit when criminals want to check if a credit card is still valid. Needless to say, neither transaction was legal, but the reason I raise it here is that the only recent payment I'd made on th… Read more

St Patrick's Day

Any ladies interested in celebrating St Patrick's Day with an appearance in my next gallery? An artistically positioned shamrock would certainly hit the right note, but you could always go a little mad and dye something green for the day. Spirit of the Irish, and all that. PM me or leave a comment here if the idea strikes your fancy. Update 18/02/14: Here are the rules. There are no rules. Just in some way make it Irish. A shamrock design. A little greenery. A bottle of whiskey. A… Read more

Valentine's Day

Fresh from the astonishing success of my advent calendar (almost entirely due to the enthusiasm and hard work of the twenty-four Xhamster ladies who took part, I must stress), I have somehow been persuaded to set a similar(ish) event up for Valentine's Day. Here's the deal: 14 non-male Xhamster members showcased in one gallery, unveiled on the 14th. It's first-come, first-signed-up. All photos must be with me by Saturday 8th, but the sooner, the fewer extra grey hairs I'll have by the 15th. As before, you sho… Read more

The Petty Spite of Petty Minds

You may wish to read my blog 'More arbitrary injustice at Xhamster' first: http://xhamster.com/user/rodent1/posts/249169.html Tom--tee commented: "everything on your profile has been ripped off from the internet. as a matter of fact, a lot of your content IS COPY WRITTEN. i'm glad this blog was brought to my attention. i have reported all of your inappropriate content to the sites management. have a wonderful day." He then blocked me from making the following reply direct: "Gee, what a happy soul you are. You must tell me sometime where I stole the mission statement on my… Read more

The Night Before Xhamster Xmas

Twas the night before Xmas and throughout the 'net, the hamsters were watching all the porn they could get. From vintage and girl/girl to bondage and group. just so long as none featured c***dren or poop. Such a triple-X treasure trove, open to all, its scope and immensity held them in its thrall. Their appetites sated, they retired to their beds, whilst visions of hardcore smut danced in their heads.… Read more

More arbitrary injustice at Xhamster

I recently uploaded a video featuring Charlie Laine and Sarah Blake. I discovered this morning that it was rejected "due to participation of too young looking persons on the screen". Ms Laine was born in 1984 and made her screen debut in 2002, aged 18. Ms Blake was born in 1980 and made her screen debut in 2003, after working as a webcam model; she was 22/23 at that time. All this information was available via IMDb in a matter of clicks, but Xhamster's moderators would rather rely upon their own subjective judgement than cold, hard facts. The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.… Read more

Xhamster @ Xmas: an update

Even for someone who uses words as his everyday currency, I find it difficult to express my gratitude for and appreciation of the enthusiasm shown for my advent calendar project. So far, twenty-one of this website's fantabulous females have signed up, and they reflect both the depth and sophistication of the wonderful women on Xhamster. As previously stressed, this will not be some kind of gaudy glamour gallery. Participants have been invited to show as little or as much as they wish, so long as the relevant number is somewhere in frame. Some will show their faces, others not; it all hinge… Read more

An Xhamster Conspiracy?

I made a rather unpleasant discovery here a couple of days ago, which may all be down to one particularly negative Xhamster member or actually comprises proof of an honest-to-goodness conspiracy. Someone, either with the assistance of friends or via the use of additional fake profiles, has been deliberately downvoting a number of my galleries. I thought at first I'd simply misjudged the tastes of other members on the site, but closer examination quite clearly proves there has been a concerted effort to negatively affect the ratings of huge swathes of my photographic content, especially the… Read more

A few more thoughts on community: the sequel

I realise that I have already spoken at some length upon the topic of 'community' within this site. However, in the shadow of my current 'advent calendar' project, there are a few additional notes I wish to make. I never cease to be amazed by the level of trust, openness and courtesy shown to me by those I'm honoured to call 'friend'. Even though this is a forum in which very few of us are able to reveal our complete identities, concerned by the possible repercussions upon our professional and personal lives, the intimacy shown is still quite astonishing. I have, via Xhamster's personal mes… Read more

Xhamster at Xmas: an update

(If all this is new to you, read this first: http://xhamster.com/user/rodent1/posts/235442.html) I am hugely gratified by the enthusiasm already shown for my advent calendar project, with 15 of Xhamster's finest now signed up. Still plenty of windows still open, of course. 1st: Sandy Singh (of Tomsingh) 2nd: Jessie Lance 3rd: Carol Cox 4th: Lynn (Amateurgirl) 5th: Laura (Wildhoney) 6th: Sabrina (SassyBri) 7th: Ria 3xx 8th: Julia (Redoniblueoni) 9th: Eva (Kakaloka) 10th: Blinky 36G 16th: Ambrosia De Claire 21st: Andrea Sky (Codya) 22nd: Sexy 44G 23rd: Trinityvixxen 24th: Les… Read more

Xhamster at Xmas: a call-out to my female friends

I have a project in mind for next month which requires the assistance of my many female friends on Xhamster: an advent calendar. My idea is to post a picture every day of December, up until Xmas Day, each from a different member. Whether they dress sexy or even get naked, or show their faces, will be entirely up to each contributor (something festive would be neat, however); all that's needed is a pose in which a number is clearly visible (it can be on a door, or a sign, or written on a piece of paper). If people want a particular number, they just need to let me know. I want to kick thi… Read more

A few more thoughts on community

I have to say I was both surprised and energised by the reaction to my last blog, which seemed to indicate I'd tapped into a motherlode of dissatisfaction with the current status quo on this website. For too long, in my view, Xhamster has existed almost as a frontier town in the old wild west, its more forward-thinking inhabitants subject to persistent abuse and denigration from the bullies who think they rule our town. Well, I have news for them: it's a new century, and their dominance is as transient as a piece of tumbleweed rolling past the OK Corral. All of us here are interested in… Read more
