my eyes are burning

The weirdest thing happened last night. I was checking my myspace and saw a bulletin from an old friend. It said that he was on the cover of the current issue of a magazine. It a local gay male magazine. Ok, cool. Good for him. I was excited to see it. I went to the magazine website and they have the issue as a .pdf. I saw the cover and the photo spread inside. It was a swimsuit photo shoot and it cracked me up. See, I have know this boy since he was a toddler. He is the younger brother of an old friend of mine and he was my friend too. He was actually my junior prom date. That's a funny side story... Chris and I were together my junior year of high school, but he was in Ohio and I was here. I wanted to still go to my prom, so I went as friends with this kid. He was a freshman at the time. It was lots of fun, because we all went as a group, including his sister and her date. So, since I have know this guy forever, it made me laugh seeing him being all model-like. I saw, in the last photo of the shoot, the credits that said he was appearing courtesy of such and such agency. I thought it was cool that he was modeling all that. So, I went to the website for the agency. The main page said that the site contained some XXX material and you must be over 18. I didn't really think much of it, because I wanted to see if he had other photos from the agency, so I clicked to enter the site. BIG MISTAKE!!! Now, I am not dumb. I know that the warning on the first page means that the site is porn, but I really didn't think about it. I don't have a problem with porn, but what I saw when the page opened has haunted me since last night. The first thing I see, are porn photos of this guy in the act. There were 4 successive photos getting worse and worse. The other guy in the photos is his boyfriend, so that makes it a little ok, but still... Who wants to see their junior prom date and a kid they considered a brother, in the act like that? Not me. Not ever. Disturbing. Very disturbing.
No, I will not post the links. I will not say his name. If you know me, you know who it is. Otherwise, the vagueness of this is enough.
