Nick Jonas Drops Pants, Grabs Crotch, Breaks Hearts

Any gay men that Nick Jonas failed to swoon in his recent ab-fueled campaign to build a giant and unwavering gay fan base will surely be hooked after seeing him drop his pants and grab his crotch for Flaunt magazine.

The 22-year-old singer properly acquainted us with his abs by flashing them at gay clubs around New York last month, and before that, knocked us out with his enormous biceps in Out.

To kick off his debut solo album’s press tour, he spoke with handfuls of different media outlets about how much he loves and wants to satisfy gay men.

Today, he’s taunting the gays to come deeper into the Nick Jonas pool by posing with his pants around his ankles, bulge in hand, and revealing his ass crack for the first time ever.

On behalf of all gays everywhere, we accept your invitation, Nick.

Check out some photos from Nick’s latest shoot for Flaunt below (see a few more at Just Jared), and hang tight on the Nick Jonas bandwagon because this ride is clearly just beginning.

'Mandy and Eva,' Documentary Photography Book, Explores Trans Lives
Over the course of six years, documentary photographer Willeke Duijvekam followed the lives of two transgender girls as they came to live as their own authentically, realized selves.

Duijvekam is a photographer who takes an interest in people whose lives differ from the socially expected norm, and he decided to embark on documenting the lives of Mandy and Eva, the results of which are featured in the new book Mandy and Eva .

In order to better understand his work and his vision for the book, The Huffington Post chatted with Duijvekam this week.

The Huffington Post: Where did the inspiration for the project come from?
About ten years ago I met a youngster who felt uncomfortable about his gender. His mother told me stories which showed me how little understanding there was from his surroundings and how her son suffered beneath them. Her stories touched me. I also had never heard of gender dysphoria. I was guided by my fascination with the perplexing split between body and mind. But also by the courage of the young people who refuse to allow society’s expectations to dictate their lives.

How is this project different from other photo essays you’ve seen about transgender people?
I think because I followed Mandy and Eva for so long, my eyes were able to penetrate far below the surface. When you begin to photograph you see the outside first.

Gender dysphoria is a complex condition that can be difficult to understand. I wanted to get to know them and try to live in their daily struggle between inner life and appearance, so that I could transfer my perception to the viewer.

You spent six years with Mandy and Eva — how did your relationship grow and how is that seen in the photos?
Willeke Duijvekam: My relationship became closer, my presence as a photographer more natural. In the beginning I was still an outsider. That you can see in the photos. In the beginning of their transition phase they were both concerned with the evidence for the outside world. I too was initially seen as that “outside world.” Mandy, for example, was constantly working with all kinds of girly things to show how limber she is, dancing etc. Later in the series you can see she is not busy with “proofing” herself anymore.

What’s the most surprising thing you learned while doing the project?
I learned a lot from the parents of Mandy and Eva. How they support their children and give them all space and opportunities they need to be happy with their own being.

Were there any moments that you captured that ended up feeling to personal to share?
Yes, there were. Especially with Eva, I have all the “milestones” she experienced and everywhere I was with her I brought my camera. I captured all her important milestones. For example, the moment she told her classmates she felt like a girl, but also the moments around her [gender confirmation] operation. They were personal, emotional moments for her, and her family. I have deliberately chosen to show no drama, but recognizable, almost casual moments. This is how I think the viewer comes closer to the emotional world of Mandy and Eva, without feeling like a voyeur. By showing no drama, but the everyday struggle of two teenagers, this document remains close to their own experiences.

What do you want viewers to take away from the photos?
What I want to show is that Mandy and Eva are two remarkably normal girls -– the one more vivacious, the other quieter –- who do nothing other than live according to the dictates of their feelings. Buy the book and you’ll see what I mean.

How To Estimate A Potential Lover’s Package By Studying His Hands

You can keep a firm hand on the tiller, bite the hand that feeds you, have the upper hand or stick to the matter at hand.

But what do our hands actually say about us? Turns out, kind of a lot — but maybe not exactly what you’d expect.

Here are some scientifically proven (and disproven) theories about how our hands correlate to the rest of our bodies.

The most widespread theory out there is that big hands suggest a big penis. It’s certainly a theory people with big hands like to bring up. Well, sorry to burst your fantasy of that ogre-pawed Whole Foods cashier you always wait extra for — the only thing that’s sure to be huge is the line you just got in. Hand size, foot size and height have all proven to mean just about squat when it comes to determining the size of a guys package.

But it might be you’re just gazing too wide — research shows that clues to what a guy is packing may lie in the index finger. Gachon University Gil Hospital in South Korea found that the bigger the length discrepancy between the index and ring fingers, the bigger the penis is likely to be. The reason? Maybe something to do with prenatal hormone exposure, but they aren’t certain.

And it turns out that that index/ring ratio predicts more than the size of your manhood. The University of Geneva in Switzerland looked at the same measurement and found a correlation to masculine facial features, which are generally perceived as more attractive. The bigger the ratio, the more masculine the face, the higher “attractiveness” perception, the fuller the crotch. Doesn’t seem fair for the hot guys to also get the big dicks — just ask Jared Leto.

Gay men and women have been found to have, on average, a smaller index/ring ratio, suggesting sexual orientation may be linked in one way or another to prenatal hormones. Though we can certainly point out more than a few examples of gay men with larger than average penises finger ratios.

“We can be pretty sure from a large number of human and animal studies that digit ratios are affected by prenatal testosterone exposure. So this result suggests a link between the hormones a baby is exposed to in the womb and their sexual orientation in adulthood,” Psychology professor John Manning, from the University of Central Lancashire, told the BBC.

If it seems like guys with a smaller index/ring ratio seem to be getting the short end of the stick, so to speak, they do have one advantage: they’re less likely to die of prostate cancer. Guys with a shorter ring finger have been observed to respond better to anti-tumor drugs than their bigger-ratio’d brethren.

Bad Boxed Blondes: The Platinum-Haired Homophobes We Just Can’t Stand

Kathryn Knott (pictured) is the latest blonde-haired, blue-eyed Daddy’s girl to raise the ire of the gays. The alleged gay basher/blossoming alcoholic made headlines when she and two male sidekicks were accused of violently attacking an innocent same-sex couple in Philadelphia.

The 24-year-old party girl woman almost got away with the crime (conveniently, her dad is the police chief), until she was outed by a group of citizen sleuths on Twitter. Now, not only has she been publicly exposed for being, well, kinda trashy and a homophobe, but she’s also been fired from her job as an ER nurse. (Sorry ’bout your bad lucky, Kath.)

Of course, homophobes of any sort are deeply obnoxious stains on humanity, but something about blonde-haired, blue-eyed women who say and do disparaging things against gay people seems to get folks especially fired up. Why is that? What is it about homophobic blondes that makes their behavior exceptionally annoying? And are yellow-haired bigots unfairly targeted because of their choice of hair color? (Kidding!)

Here are five more boxed blondes the gays just can’t stand.

 Amy Kushnir

The charming Texas “anchorwoman” was awkwardly thrust into the national spotlight after she stormed off a Dallas morning show in protest of Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend on ESPN earlier this year. Afterwards, the self-proclaimed “deeply-loving Christian American” appeared on FOX News to defend her childish behavior, where she painted herself out to be the paragon of piety and virtue. The next day, video of Kushnir giggling and flipping her blonde locks while being tossed around by two half-naked male strippers surfaced online and, with her tail between her legs, she quietly retreated back to “Midland.”

Paris Hilton

The aging heiress became public enemy #1 in 2012 when she called gay men as horny, disgusting, and AIDS-ridden. In a leaked audio recording, Hilton opined that “gay guys are the horniest people in the world. They’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS…  I would be so scared if I were a gay guy. You’ll, like, die of AIDS.” After being exposed for the comments, Hilton released an official apology saying she was “so sorry from the bottom of my heart and I feel absolutely horrible.” But that wasn’t enough to stop Logo from pulling a planned documentary featuring the platinum-haired Valtrex spokeswoman socialite.

Ann Coulter

The leggy lanky 50-something blonde has built a career out of spewing her hate-filled nonsense at anyone who will listen. In 2012, she said, “It’s genuinely a pro-marriage position to oppose gay marriage.” She was also against the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and in 2011 she went on the reality show A List Dallas and told her gay friend directly to his face: “The gays have got to be pro-life… As soon as they find the gay gene, guess who the liberal yuppies are gonna start aborting?” If that wasn’t bad enough, she also proposed National Coming Out Day be followed by National “Disown Your Son Day.”

Aaryn Gries

The yellow-haired reality starlet found herself in the hot seat after making some pretty vile comments last summer on Big Brother. 22-year-old Gries made a slew of racist and homophobic remarks directed at her fellow house guests. “Be careful what you say in the dark, might not be able to see the bitch,” she said of black houseguest Candice. “Go make some rice” she told an Asian houseguest. She also referred to a gay houseguest as “queer.” As a result, she was booted from the show and CBS had to issue an apology. She also solidified her place on the gays’ “Most Hated” list.

Carrie Prejean

The former Miss California made headlines during the 2009 Miss USA competition after her eloquent response to a question about whether she believed same-sex marriage should be legal. Said the blondie:

Well, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And, you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that, I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.

Afterwards, the disgraced beauty queen made the media rounds, appearing on a number of television and radio shows where she doubled-down on her position. Later that year, she released her memoir, written by a ghostwriter, which failed to make any bestsellers lists, before falling into obscurity, where she, like so many other homophobes, remains to this day.
