Meet Seunghi Park, a South Korean Speed Skater

South Korean speed skater Seunghi Park (@shp92shp) has now competed in the Winter Olympics in not just one sport, but two. This year, the former short track skater — who won two gold medals in the 2014 Winter Olympics — is trying her hand at speed skating, competing in distances up to 1,000 meters. “Changing my sport took a lot of effort because the two are very different,” says Seunghi. “But I love the thrill that comes along with the speed.” Seunghi was born in Seoul and lives and trains in Hwaseong-si, a city in northwest South Korea. “The fact that the Olympics are taking place in my home country makes me feel more responsible and proud,” she says.

Which San Francisco queen does Aja want to see cast on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’?
Gone but not forgotten. Aja shined bright on season 3 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, so her elimination was definitely a sad loss for fans around the world.

Out Olympians Adam Rippon and Gus Kenworthy sat down with the TODAY show on Friday to reflect on their Olympic experience. The pair not only developed a lifelong friendship in PyeongChang, they made headlines every single day they were there.

Rippon was asked about the squabble with Vice President Mike Pence and the phone call he refused to take.

Said Rippon: “I feel that Mike Pence doesn’t stand for anything that I was taught when I grew up. And I think that it’s important if you’re given the platform to speak up for those who don’t have a voice. And I was offered a phone call with the vice president that I decided not to take before the Games….I didn’t take the phone call because I needed to focus on the competition.”

Rippon said he would “totally” take the phone call now.

Asked if “we’ve all made too much” of the Pence drama, Rippon replied: “I think there’s a lot being made of it because people still on some level have a problem.”

Added Kenworthy: “My boyfriend and I had a kiss at the bottom of the contest and people were like, ‘we get it, we don’t need to see it though. I don’t care what you do it behind closed doors, but don’t put it in my face.’ And it’s kind of like, my entire life – in movies and commercials, in public – everywhere you see straight heterosexual love and that’s completely fine because it’s normal, but us also showing the same type of affection isn’t shoving it in your face, it’s just existing.”

This 83-Year-Old Man Just Made His Gay Adult Film Debut

This 83-Year-Old Man Just Made His Gay Adult Film Debut
83-year-old

In December, YouTuber Davey Wavey took his interest in sex to new places on the web, launching a site called Himeros (himeros.tv – work-unfriendly) where he hopes to “use the vehicle of porn to teach gay men about sexual exploration, connection and ecstasy.”

This week he introduced a video that is making quite a splash. It features 83-year-old Norm, “a sacred intimate, advanced Tantrica, and minister of erotic education,” making his porn debut in a scene that also features Blake Mitchell and Joey Mills.

Says Davey: “I understand that most people aren’t accustomed to seeing an 83 year old in an erotic film. Most of us aren’t accustomed to thinking about our elders in a sexual context at all. It’s why people laugh at Betty White’s comedy. If she were 20 or 30, her sex jokes wouldn’t work in the same way; the humor is only funny coming from the mouth of a 96 year old. The implication is that seniors don’t think about sex, aren’t sexy and surely aren’t having sex. Of course, none of that is true. Seniors, just like everyone else, think about sex.”

As a companion to the clip, Davey released a short video interview with Norm, which features some of Norm’s wisdom on aging:

“Life is a balance of listening reverently to people who have age and experience, but use your own age and experience to test, ‘does that ring true in my heart?’ So, if you’re getting old enough to ask questions, then you’re old enough to begin to trust yourself to be able to hear the answers when they come and to know whether the answers are truth or somebody’s well-meaning but well-placed propaganda.”

And on sex: “The French word for orgasm is ‘le petit mort’, the little death. I die to this uptight and anxious being, and that is a metaphor or an analogy for that ultimate surrender into what is, the truth of what really is, and if we can get loose from moral a priori judgments, judgments before the fact, and get into testing it out and see ‘does it work?’, then we wouldn’t have to worry about all the rules and regulations.”
