Porn?
Feb 24th
The last time I posted a nifty video here there evolved a discussion in the comments whether there should be porn on milkboys or not. I never wanted milkboys to become one of the countless porn-only blogs and therefore I never posted more than one of these videos every two or three months. On the other hand I do think that both sex and porn are good and healthy parts of our lives and that is regardless of the age of the viewer.
Over the last 20 years our society became more and more hysterical about how seeing people having sex might harm kids and teenagers and in further consequence our life in general became more prudish. Even teenagers from 1900 would laugh about how kids nowadays wear two swimsuits instead of just hopping into the water naked – not even to mention how keeping away every information about sex from teens also prevents them to learn about sexually transmitted diseases, birth control and other things even more important than the fact that no kid should be ashamed for her or his naked body.
When I started the very first incarnation of milkboys a few years ago I was a minor myself and neither back then nor nowadays I can come up with a single reason why & how pornographic content would be capable to harm anyone — quite the opposite. That’s why I didn’t mind to throw some sexy content into the mix of this blog every now and then. But I’d like to hear your opinion on this nonetheless so please feel free to vote in the poll below and/or leave a comment. Thanks :)
Fresh Milk!
Feb 9th
Let me state the obvious: milkboys got a new look! I know it might take some time to get used to it for many of you and some won’t like it for one reason or another but let’s face the facts: The old design was pretty old school (in a not so cool way), the grey background made it hard to read longer texts for some and don’t even get me started about the tech under the hood, just trust me when I say it was a pain in the ass (once again not the good kind of it).
The new theme should be easier on the eyes, improve the performance of the blog significantly and was a necessary step into the future to prepare the blog for the features and projects yet to come. You might notice that not everything is running 100% smoothly yet, I’m still working on some graphics (with the kind help of Xag) and pretty much all old posts (more than 1000!) need to be adjusted to to fit the theme. it will take some time, so bear with me ;) This was one of the smaller steps towards “milkboys 3.0” – more exciting news await you soon!
Can you feel the fresh Breeze? ;)
Likes & Cleanups
Jan 28th
You can like posts on milkboys now. Just click the little 
under any post you liked. This will make it easier for me to determine which kind of content you guys like which should eventually results in a better quality of content. So, feel free to go back and like a few older posts :)
I will also clean up the blog a bit (about time after nearly 30 months of blogging) over the next days; that means lots of old posts will be removed because they are either not working anymore ’cause the photo/video in the post was deleted from its original source or they don’t fit my standards of what is post-worthy anymore. Some other (very old) posts will be reblogged over time to give new readers the chance to discover them. This doesn’t mean there will be less fresh content ‘tho, I will rather raise the frequency of posts a bit and mix new & old posts.
Help us by watching Porn :p

Want more of this Hottie?
Visit Helix Studios :)
As many of you know a lot of new milkboys-related projects (including a social network and a video site) are planned for the near future. Due to the high amount of concurrently visitors being on the different sites we already have we’re already operating at the bandwidth limit of our current server ‘tho. That’s why I’d like to buy a second server soon to host the new projects. At the moment we’re paying $300 per month for this server, the new one will add about $150 to the monthly bill.
If you want to help funding this and the new server you can do so by watching porn. Seriously ;) If you sign up at Helix Studios or one of their related sites with this link milkboys will earn a commission of $35. The cool thing about it is that one month (non-recurring!) there costs only $34.95 so we get every cent you spend and you get a month of porn for your donation :)
Häppy New Year :)

Some good plans for the new year: 01. Educate yourself about online privacy. Some plans we have for milkboys: 01. At least the board will get SSL, more sites may follow. You see, lots of work here so it will definitely be a busy year. |
Comments
Dec 14th
If you use a Yahoo Mail address to post a comment here it will be automatically recognised as spam [because Yahoo decided to block mails from several gay blogs including milkboys which means any mails sent to you (e.g. notifications about a reply to your comment) would never reach you.] I try and get all “real” comments out of there again and approve them but due to the massive amount of spam I can’t guarantee that I catch them them all. So if you want to make sure your comment gets through you should use another mail address (e.g. Gmail).
You’re using Yahoo Mail if your address ends with one of the following domains:
yahoo.com, ymail.com, sbcglobal.net, att.net, rocketmail.com, btinternet.com, xtra.co.nz, swbell.net

Since it became pretty much impossible to collect donations we’re trying to get the money for the server bill with some ads lately. So if you feel like watching some porn… we get $ 35 per sign up ;)
The Future of the Ephebo Blogsphere
Nov 15th
What happened so far?
Some of you might have noticed that Nibblebit — which was the hope of all the bloggers who saw their blogs getting deleted by Blogger/Blogspot, Tumblr and even SensualWriter – started to reject blogs with even G-rated pictures of teenagers. Here is what happened: Someone filed a complaint about a blog hosted at Nibblebit which contained child porn (while that can be a fully dressed 17 year old in a “suggestive pose” nowadays) with Nibblebit’s hosting company which caused the latter to suspend Nibblebit’s server affecting not only the blog in question but all blogs hosted by Nibblebit. Nibblebit switched to another hosting company and while they were not able to recover the data of the old blogs most bloggers there restarted their blogs just to find out that Nibblebit doesn’t allow them to run boy-related blogs anymore.
I’m not sure if that leaves Nibblebit with any blogs at all since pretty much all of them where blogs about boys in one way or another. But however, personally I won’t miss Nibblebit: The service was always full of annoying ads and I even read quite a few reports about people who got a virus through the obviously not so well checked ads there. The more interesting question here is where the now homeless bloggers will end up. At least the ones who are not silly enough to try to open such blogs at Blogger/Blogspot over and over again will have to find a new place to host their blogs eventually. Read on...
Trans Kids in UK Schools
Sep 29th
Two boys – a 9 year old and a 12 year old — came back to school as girls after the summer break in the UK and caused quite a bit of drama. Parents say their kids were “shocked” and “traumatised” due to the sex change of their fellow pupils:
My son came home from school and asked why one of his friends had become a girl. I thought he was joking, but he kept asking – that’s when alarm bells began ringing. The pupil’s classmates were told he had left and that a new girl would be starting in his place this term. We have had to deal with the fall-out from all this. It’s not a situation I or other parents are comfortable with and we’ve not been given any help from the school about how to handle it. My son is too young to really understand the significance of what’s happening. It’s hard to explain to him. He doesn’t understand the differences between girls’ and boys’ bodies yet. I’m terrified he’ll ask me if he can become a girl as well.
Although the boys are doubtless on the fast track to a sex-change operation and hormonal treatment in order to turn them into girls, they must wait until they are legally an adult before any actual operation may take place in the UK which means German pop singer Kim Petras stays the youngest transgirl who underwent gender reassignment.
State of the Union

PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU CARE ABOUT MILKBOYS ;)
I got some angry messages lately because I didn’t reply to mails “within time”. I’d like to point out something related to this in general: contrary to popular belief I don’t do stuff related to milkboys 24/7. I do spend several hours a days doing different things for the blog(s), the forum, the chat and so on but I do this in my spare time and for free. Of course it’s a part of my life and most of the time it’s fun (I wouldn’t do it otherwise naturally) but, to be totally honest, it annoys me if people get demanding about it. I know most of you appreciate what you get without a doubt but there are quite a few people who seem to think I owe them what I do here and that they have a right to get whatever they ask for and as soon as possible of course.
Yes, I’m slow with responding to mails and yes, the blog posts were a bit boring lately. But I can’t do a thing about this at the moment. I have a lot of things to sort out right know about my life, my education and whatnot so the people who are whining because they don’t get what they want have to live with that, if they like it or not.
On a more positive note I’d like to thank all the people who help me keeping things running. The moderators in the forum and the chat, the active members of the community who take things into their hands by helping other members, making constructive suggestions & even starting their own projects related to milkboys and last but not least of course the donors who are kind enough to pay for the server. Everyone of you is a vital part of what we are building here, regardless of if you help with money, time or your energy. It’s your enthusiasm that animates milkboys!
And personally I’m happy that some of you even became great friends to me. It’s amazing to meet awesome people from so many places all over the world, might it be Holland, Scotland, Sweden, England, Australia, Japan or wherever else, you know who you are :) I know this applies not only to me, quite a few of you even found a loving boyfriend within the community and if that doesn’t make all the work worth it…
have a community photo since no one like posts without pictures :p
