Breathless

For some reason, this seems to be my week for perpetuating the erroneous myth that gay men are sadly undeniably shallow in their mindless pursuit of youth and beauty. For those who actually doubt that good looks actually matter in the real world, look no further.

Those who have read my blog incessantly would notice a brief mention I made weeks back about a fresh-faced young patient of mine. Well, not that juvenile after all since the Breathless Brat's already a virile eighteen but still, the kid's practically a younger brother to me now since he seems to have an unusual ( I would all it uncanny! ) predilection for falling desperately breathless during my calls. Though we have made astounding leaps in medical technology, bronchial asthma still remains as one of the tougher diseases to beat - and every once in a while, the occasional non-compliant asthmatic still finds himself landed in the intensive care.

Just to prove my point, Breathless Brat has been in here more times than I've gotten laid in the past year. Either stress or some other precipitating factor - that I have been unable to elicit - seems to be tipping him off every few months. To add to his woes, the Brat occasionally misses his treatments.

It was just at the tip of my tongue to ream him out for being such a foolish idiot but once he turns those doe-eyed brown eyes to me with that piteous look, I found myself melting. Sigh. It's never easy ranting over the importance of being compliant to his medications and generally scaring the living daylights out of the kid when you're too busy being distracted by the sight of his nicely cut abs.

Come rub your cheek on mine
Come get me...

For those who are wondering, I don't usually go for smooth-faced twinks barely out of school. The jailbait I mentioned looks yummy but rosy-cheeked, barely-adult boys just don't do it for me. No offense meant but I like my men to look and feel like MEN after all :) Some men look better clean shaven but that doesn't hold true for all guys. The scruffy look has its advantages. After all, there's nothing quite like the feel of a scruffy man's chin, chockful of bristles, as he rubs it across my neck just enough for a light burn.

hey! as a barely legal person, i feel somewhat offended.

Stinging Rabbit said...

Like qsl said, I'm offended too! I like guys who are clean-shaven and if they have a 5 o'clock shadow has to look good with it and it has to be stubble not like long. Lolz. But I also look for personality, chivalry, etc. etc.... REALLY!

savante said...

Don't be mad lah, quicksilver :) Meant no offense. Same for you too, silentside.

g_c, wish that were true but it's not, I'm sure. And the lectures I've given him would certainly put him off coming back, I'm sure.

i once had this much older guy make some very ostentatious (and not too subtle) advances on me. while flattering, at the time it was quite alarming as well.

Jushie said...

I like cute boys and I like hunky men. I'm versatile.

But hey, I wouldn't go near my clients. But then again, I never have any hot clients :(

Maximus Leo said...

Ha! Years back at Zouk in Singapore - I was at the bar ordering my drinks and this oldish guy next to me felt my bum! Man - I felt like a twink and that was the last time I wore something nice to Zouk!

Oh by the way - I have the scruffy's man chin! :-)

Anonymous said...

um... hunky rough guys turn out to be pretty clean twinkies depending on how they shave and apply the cream. :-)

I like hunky masculine guys. :-) But I like pretty barbie doll like twinks, too. :-) I am pervy. Yeah.

famezgay said...

I don mind whether clean shave or not.. twinks or mature.. as long as it could attract me, then it would be fine ahhaa..

Wild Reeds said...

Scruffy man's stubbly chin chockful of bristles: if he rubs it on your mouth for a few minutes, you may wake up looking like a baboon!
Still worth it I guess :-)

akihisa said...

Errm, does a soon-to-be 24 yo guy like myself, be a twink?! I'm so not getting the terms used to describe us guys. Twinks, hunks (this one I know lah), bears, cubs (both of them are used to describe hairy guys, but what's the difference?) etc...

Yeah, scruffy is GOOD. ME like!!! ;p

I look odd without my facial hair. LOL!

joshua said...

i look like a gorilla with facial hair. not that i don't have excessive hair at other regions already. of all problem genes out there, i got the hair-grow-too-fast-too-much-everywhere one.

i am not legal yet. but to lessen the retorts, i not offended lah.

i figure having a cute patient pushes you further to perform the utmost best of your duties, innit?

Musang said...

yeah... i like my man to be like a man... rough, masculine and all like. maybe i'm so used to such image. i like my guy to have a day old beard. look more macho that way.

or maybe, i'm born to be a sex slave for paul walker. he can do me anytime...

Jay said...

Ah yes - nothing like the feel of whisker burns between your legs or buttcheeks to remind you that you've just been with a real man.

:-p

Sue said...

Some twinks get me all hot and bothered. But, then I just fall to mothering them. Damn those XX chromosomes!

Xavier said...

well, maybe breathless brat is looking for reasons to see you, i say to cure him once and for all, give him a er... service... TREATMENT that forces him to breath heavilly/helpessly etc etc, then he'll be fine :)

btw, hehe, cant agree more with the stubble chin that manages to brush away all tiredness and brush UP everything else...

That Girl said...

i love the scruffy look too.. id fall for guys with that look all the time....

unfortunately they turned out to be kinda.. the ,.... not so marriage material types... so . now.. i have a clean shaven husband..lol.. well. theres SOME compromise.. he has a french beard !!

as for being a doctor .. youre a sweetheart!

pakcik said...

i like clean cut shaven chinese guy. but i did have some couple of guys with cause i love the scruffy look too..

maybe cause I am one..n also keeping a goatie of my own ;)

quicksilverlining said...

i was just thinking, not all barely legal guys look like little kids. take me for example. for some reason (though photos suggest otherwise), people usually mistake me for being much older than i am.

savante said...

That happened to me once or twice when I was younger too, idiot, and I didn't mind it at all :)

Exactly what clients are you having, jushie :)

Ian and shigeki, you're right. Scruffy men can turn clean shaven - and still look like hunks.

ceusm, you are right.

Even to run the risk of getting all redfaced would be worth it, wild reeds.

Will have to look at ya to see whether you're a twink or a hunk, ahmad :P

A gorilla with facial hair, joshua? Hmm...

You can keep your Paul Walker, musang. I would have my Cbhris Evans anyday.

Jay! GASP!

True enough, sue.

Wanted to spank the brat, xavier, for being so naughty!

Sounds like you're enjoying marriage, grafxgurl :) And your french-bearded husband.

Some Chinese guys look fab clean-shaven but it's also nice to have some stubble every once in a while, pakcik.

quicksilver, how old do you look?

Couldn't agree more with you, paul! I fall easily for men with scruffy looks. And I like my man to look like a man and feel like a MAN also!

What's the point when you come home from work to be cuddling someone young enough to be your skinny little brother?

RRP said...

true story, paul. the only person i got with who was more than 5 years older than i, and fit the description of "man", is now someone else's biatch behind bars. his crime? well, let's just say that he liked his boys barely out of diapers. it still gives me the heebie-geebies to this day.
