Lately I seem to be smitten with Jake Nodar.
One night it happened. I was on my way to BBC...I was going up the channels when I happened upon a God! The remote stopped on a show called Naked and Afraid. Apparently two people go into a rough locale, with a small bag of supplies and then stripped buck ass naked and then dropped off to rough it for like 20 some days. The guy on the show I saw was Jake Nodar. I thought, am I really going to watch this??? Yeah yes I did. It wasn't till the show was over I tried to google him and found myself further smitten with the perfect guy.
I'd be looking at dat ass too!
Jake is a naturalist, adventurer, activist, environmentalist and horse-trainer... just some of the words to describe Jake Nodar. Jake was born in Baltimore, Maryland, his religious family consisting of an older brother and one younger brother and two younger sisters, to his German/Russian mother and Irish/Cuban father. Exposure to the outdoors was instilled in him at an early age. Having an obsession with horses since childhood, when he moved with his parents to a small farm when he was 18 it was only natural that the first thing Jake would do was get a horse. After purchasing his first horse, he began volunteering at a rescue where they hired him on as farm manager, overseeing 45-60 abused and neglected horses, and his lifelong career with horses began. Jake enrolled in a horse training school in western Colorado, where after graduating, he started his business, primarily working with young horses and horses with behavioral issues. Over the past 17 years, he has started hundreds of young horses under saddle, trained with Olympic riders, and have trained and competed in numerous disciplines, both English and western.
Although Jake never hid the fact that he was gay, he had a very public coming out during the taping of the Out of The Wildl: The Alaska Experiment, when the producers had him read a personal letter to his remaining team mates letting them know that the rugged hunter, and one of the final contestants, who survived the whole journey was gay. Soon after Jake became the first openly gay male cast member to be featured on the Discovery Channel's hit series "Naked And Afraid" Growing up in a religious family and coming out at 20, he took solace in watching Ellen DeGeneres as that was his only connection to the gay community. Ellen's public coming out helped Jake stay true to himself and he hopes to help pay it forward by helping with gay youth, specifically The Trevor Project.
To gay men who make it a habit of looking down on/making fun of feminine gay men, let me first apologize. I didn’t realize it was so hard to be masculine and gay at the same time. All because you blend in with the rest of the society and are able to hide and even deny your sexuality when it conveniences you.All sarcasm aside, what I’m definitely not going to apologize for is their skewered belief that sparkly, flamboyant gay men make other “normal” gay men look bad. This is why I am so smitten with Jake. He is definitely more masculine then me, most would call him masculine.But Jake has no problem embracing a fem side either and camping it up.
It's the one thing I find even more attractive about him. Most masculine guys even gay, I find have no sense of humor or fun, let alone camp it up. Our dear Cali Boi is another side of beef who was even in the service, does landscaping and personal training...and let me tell you, he has no problem camping it up either, and acting a big girl. Yes baby, you tickle me too. I mean, who would pass up a afternoon with Jake? Not I. Hell, if he wants to rough it...I'll join him.
I glamp after all bitches!
I glamp after all bitches!
Wow, what a find! I started reading and then started to get disappointed by the title. No naked! Then you delivered as only you can. Thank you for bringing a ray of sunshine to an otherwise dreary day. I hope you have a great 4th and experience the fireworks ๐งจ you want ๐
ReplyDeleteOh and that clip is priceless ๐๐ป
DeleteYou too Huntley. Did I get you all hot and warmed up for Sixpense?!?!?!?
DeleteNaked and afraid? I see I’m missing out for not having cable?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t mind if I get dropped on an island with Jake, I tell you. He seems to find that tricky balance between being a very attractive man and not taking himself too seriously.
And you sure can preach it, gurl!
Glamp it!
XoXo
Here here!
DeleteHell, he is so sexy, at this point, he could even keep the campy clothing on during sex, I can work around it....trust.
DeleteHoly moly!!!!!!! He is smoking hot! I've heard the show, but not seen it. Hell, I'd stopped too!!!What a great post on this guy. Masculine men need to fucking chill.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!! He is super sexy! Kudos to him for being comfortable with himself....and having fun. That video crack me up.
ReplyDeleteWell,there's a lot to be smitten with ... a big ole giant side of gender non-conforming bendy beefcake.
ReplyDeleteI've watched Naked and Afraid - didn't see HIS. Dang. Bravo! to him, though. He is who he is, and we should all be like that. I, for one, am not afraid to embrace my feminine side - not at all. I've even done parts on stage where I had to be in drag. I loved doing it, too.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
More men should take a page from his book. I have a very butch, masculine friend. Oh man....so dry and serious all the time. Afraid to even act girly. He would go straight before saying a fem guy. I told him dems are good in bed. Open your fucking horizon.
ReplyDeleteJake is totally sexy!!!! And his personality only seems to make him even more attractive to me!
And I just bet he has a big banana!!! The shot with the tube socks and shorts is totally working for me.
ReplyDeleteI owned horses, trained and showed them as a teenager so this fellow is wonderful. It is a hard job and I'm betting he's very good at it. xoxoxoxox
ReplyDeleteWow, what a cute pony! I've always hated sunflowers until now. I'm leaving this testosterone drenched area now. At least I hope that's testosterone!
ReplyDeleteYour smelling my heat exhaustion from this one tootes.
DeleteWhatever it is, you guys have gotten it all sticky up in here!
DeleteMasculine...Sasculine.....I'd gladly RIP any of his clothes off him in a minute. His love of horses and his attitude make him extremely hot.
ReplyDeleteI had to scroll down the page super fast. A little too many people in the library at the present moment. But I liked what I glimpsed at.
ReplyDeleteOh no.....did you have to get books to cover your excitment?
DeleteJust the large print edition of War and Peace.
DeleteHe is handsome, sexy and a bit crazy. The perfect combination to me!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of the show...but I do know if years younger....I'd save a horse and ride him!!!! He has a love of horses and dogs....very attractive. I bet he would be fun to have some drinks with
ReplyDeleteexcitement? Ms. Goldberg-DeWoofs is waging over this one๐
Delete*makes mental note. He looks hot in riding yards and can do splits *
ReplyDeleteHe sure is loveable. I think it can be easier to be unafraid when you look like that.
ReplyDeleteI saw that episode. I was drawn to him too. And he fills Jean's out so nicely. And I agree with your agreement. I have no problem acting a big old girl.
ReplyDeleteI saw it too. Funny how my gaydar went off and knew he was one of us.
DeleteI'm a lesbian....and even I'd marry him.
