Earlier this week I went to the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston to see the Fashioned by Sargentexhibit, which closes in two weeks. This exhibit from the MFA is one of my favorites in recent memory. Perhaps Bostonians more than most Americans are interested in Sargent because of how much of his work has ended up here but it was apparent this exhibit has been embraced by the city. When I remarked about the crowds the day I visited, one of the MFA employees told me the exhibit had been very well attended.
In this exhibit the MFA looks at some of the artist&#;s most well-known portraits and shares how Sargent meticulously dressed and posed each of his subjects; sometimes quite provocatively. A good example is his scandalous portrait of Virginie Amélie Avegno, a.k.a. Madame X, which caused an uproar when it was shown in Paris in because it emphasized the sexual allure of a married woman. It&#;s amazing to consider this portrait ruined the reputation of Virginie Amélie Avegno in Parisian society.
In addition to watercolors and his beautiful portraits, the exhibit brings many p
The last appointment! Friday was nearly over at last. This had been a hell of a week, and I was anxious for the weekend to start. I'm a doctor, a urologist to be exact. Yeh, I know what they declare, 'he's a dick doc'! My name is Jim Morris, and I'm 53 years old, six feet even, and weigh I've been divorced for almost ten years, and wanted to retire by now, but the divorce order stopped those plans. And, oh yeh, I like cocks! Figures doesn't it. During my 25 years of practice I estimate that I have conservatively seen at least 15, pricks. All sizes, shapes, and colors.&#;&#;&#;&#; I picked up the folder of my last patient of the day. I glanced through it quickly looking for the notes my assistant had taken during the telephone interview after booking the appointment. Her notes were readable, a vice I didn't possess. Oh shit! A fresh patient! That meant an extended session as I noted that he needed a consultation and initial exam. Crap! There went any chance of ge

UPDATE: Richard Chamberlain died at age 90 in Hawaii on March 29, , from complications of a stroke.
Deeply closeted for most of his animation, actor Richard Chamberlain () was outed by the French women&#;s magazine Nous Deux (We Two) in December , and the American tabloids took up the story, plastering the news on their front pages. But Chamberlain steadfastly denied his homosexuality. It wasn&#;t until , at the age of 69, that he publicly acknowledged the authenticity in his memoir, Shattered Love. The press generated by the novel gave Chamberlain a boost in popularity, and he was greatly relieved to find his fans supportive and positive.
Those of a certain age might remember a TV show called Dr. Kildare (; clip at end of post), which
An Introduction
My client sat in the chair looking down at the floor, glancing up briefly to create eye contact, then darting his eyes back to the carpet. He spoke quietly, as if almost afraid to be heard. He clutched his hands throughout the session, showing all the markers of an anxious man in the throes of shame. He was a unused client to my practice: a married, middle-aged, suburban dad with a high-powered career. A colleague had given him my number months before. It took him a long age to muster the courage to call and construct an appointment. Towards the end of our first session he looked up at me and said, “I think I’m in love…with another man. I’m scared and I don’t know what to do.”
I have worked with hundreds of gay men in heterosexual marriages struggling with being in the closet or wanting to surface from it. There is so much about these men that is misunderstood and very few studies or little literature to provide insight. I decided to share my thoughts and research about these men and their struggles at a conference a few years ago. That presentation led to other oppor
