As I mature, I care less and less about what people think if I have sex with other men.  Rather, I think it's pretty cool that I admire male bodies and crave cock.  This blog is an outlet for my desires, and perhaps will record my path to bisexuality.  I also hope I might encourage other men to enjoy cock.</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmides7.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6857131413329453851/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmides7.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><author><name>Charmides</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10400907551380625625</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>1</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857131413329453851.post-4503573268068946627</id><published>2010-01-07T09:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-09T02:32:30.005-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Charmides of Athens</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LiIZQQoB3Z4/S0hGuQuNSQI/AAAAAAAAAAM/rkP2NRWyP30/s1600-h/Herakles1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424663511744465154" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LiIZQQoB3Z4/S0hGuQuNSQI/AAAAAAAAAAM/rkP2NRWyP30/s320/Herakles1.jpg" style="float: left; height: 320px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 161px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LiIZQQoB3Z4/S0hG127dXdI/AAAAAAAAAAU/YajxlgEvslM/s1600-h/AntinousNaples.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424663642259676626" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LiIZQQoB3Z4/S0hG127dXdI/AAAAAAAAAAU/YajxlgEvslM/s320/AntinousNaples.jpg" style="float: left; height: 320px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 219px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"...at the moment Charm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ides came in he seemed to me to be amazing in stature and appearance, and everyone there looked to me to be in love with him, they were so astonished and confused by his entrance, and many other lovers followed in his train.
