On that date, 10 years ago, it&#8217;s the day I created this blog. Time flies! I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;ll be <strong>Queer Me Now Blog<\/strong>\u2019s <em>10 Years Anniversary<\/em> next week. I started this blog on Xlogz blogging platform. The original URL of the website was queermenow.xlogz.com. It&#8217;s no longer exist. I had to moved Queer Me Now to the current location queermenow.net.<\/p>\n<p>You have no idea how much my life has changed since I launched the blog. I was a horny 20-something gay guy living in a developing country in Asia who watched too much gay porn. I love porn. I was (and still) intrigued by gay porn industry. There&#8217;s no such thing as &#8220;porn star&#8221; or &#8220;porn award&#8221; or &#8220;porn event&#8221; where I live. Little did I know, by launching this blog, it took me around the world to meet all these porn stars, directors, producers &#038; fans I used to only watch and read about online.<\/p>\n<p>Many people asked me why I call my blog Queer Me Now. Well, it&#8217;s a line &#8220;<em>Can You Queer Me Now?<\/em>&#8221; said by one of my all-time favorite porn stars <a href=\"http:\/\/join.nakedsword.com\/track\/MTAwODE3LjIuMS4zNi4wLjAuMC4wLjA\/stars\/jason-ridge\">Jason Ridge<\/a> in one of his porn movies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buddylead.com\/falconstudios\/go.php?pr=9&#038;su=1&#038;si=33&#038;ad=189157&#038;pa=clip&#038;ar=22155&#038;buffer=\">Getting It Straight<\/a> from Jocks Studios.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/175925206?title=0&#038;byline=0&#038;portrait=0\" width=\"700\" height=\"529\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can You Queer Me Now&#8221; is the catchphrase of Josh Weston&#8217;s character and he spoke it at the beginning of the movie.
