Kory Mitchell: My maschalagnia mentor!
Prologue:
Today's featured celebrity, Kory Mitchell, is a personal favorite of mine and goes back to the days when I initially gained a full awareness of my own gay (SGL) status. I'm publishing him now as close to World AIDS Day as possible. Kory, upon learning of his own HIV diagnosis, became a gay porn industry advocate and educator for HIV/AIDS. I salute him for his efforts and leadership!
Background:
By the time I was thirteen years old, there was no lingering doubt in my mind. I'm gay - same gender loving (SGL). I'd never even had a girlfriend yet as an early teenager, that was no longer an option. I was also still a virgin.
I had two first cousins (identical twins) both gay and four years older than me. We'd discussed the subject of their being gay and they expressed their support, advice, and insight to me. Their oldest brother is SGL also and he'd guided them both along the way. Now, they were offering to do the same for me. This included back-issues of some very interesting and very picture-filled gay porn-star magazines that I was much-too-young to buy on my own.
One of these older magazines, I believe the title was "Black Inches" featured on the cover a full frontal picture of Kory Mitchell - arms raised high showing both of his hairy armpits. Inside, was an article on Kory and the topic he covered was: hairy armpits! The title of the story was a completely unfamiliar word: maschalagnia. Thankfully, Kory explained the meaning.
Maschalagnia: hairy armpit obsession. In humans, both genders, the formation of body odor happens mostly in the armpit. These odorant substances serve as pheromones which play a role in sexual attraction and excitement.
For a long time, even before I knew I was attracted to my same gender, I was fascinated with men's underarm fur. I don't remember what sparked this fascination but it had been ongoing for awhile. Now, I knew the reason and I had an article on a major, naked, gay male porn-star, Kory Mitchell, educating me about it! I'm not completely weird!

My Awakening:
When my twin cousins let me know that they were both gay (and explained to me exactly what that term meant) I began to think of myself as gay, also. I didn't have any older brothers, just sisters. It was at this time that I to notice other boys/guys and me. I really returned to my earlier activity of swimming as I could now look at others - all shirtless! This is when I became cognizant of underarm hair and probably began my inspection and observation. My cousins had their armpit fur growing and one of them had confided to me that he found it "sexy."
Slowly but surely, with the help of my twin cousins, I added an appreciation and understanding of the fact of my SGL reality. Now I eagerly anticipated spending time with them both at their home in a nearby city. During our summers out of school, we'd spend our days sharing information, opinions, and observations on being gay and what was happening around us.
I was now entering puberty and the growth of my own body hair, especially my armpit and pubic, gave me cause to marvel and wonder. As my cousin's amount of body hair progressed, I was anxious over my own development. My penis started to grow and added confirmation and proof that indeed I was attracted to my own gender!
Kory Mitchell: armpits, full nudity and his pierced penis with cock-ring!
I talked to the Twins repeatedly about Kory Mitchell and his serious pride on being gay, into pornography and in particular, his pride of his hairy armpits and all the rest of his body hair. He seemed to have no problems with posing naked and from the pictures I saw, I could understand why! He is very photogenic and tattooed and his penis is pierced and he posed wearing a cock-ring! Kory was a porn-star that I soon became infatuated and fantasized about forever!
Both my cousins also valued body hair, and one of them was as obsessed with hairy armpits as much as myself. We soon began rating males we observed in public on their profusion of body hair and their comfort in displaying as much of it as possible in open spaces. To a certain extent, this habit continues even today although now it happens in a fun-filled manner.
Kory Mitchell: erection and cock ring!
Kory never missed an opportunity to expose his pierced penis (cock) nor any effort to conceal his hairy armpits. There exist some images of him with a smooth body - practically, if not totally, hairless. After his retirement from his pornography career, he revealed in an interview with POZ magazine that he rarely engaged in actively removing any of his body hair. The majority of the time, it was "airbrushed" away by the actual photographer!
He did confess, however, to once cutting himself when he shaved his underarm fur. After that incident, he owned up to abandoning any thought of ever grooming away any of his armpit hair in the future! Great move, Kory! Learn from our mistakes the first time around!
I'd always known of my twin cousin's penchant for social nudity. At their home, whenever they spent time alone in their shared bedroom, they stripped off their clothes and lounged naked. Now, I began to join them and increasingly became comfortable in my own nakedness. An unplanned erection of our cocks, whether alone or amongst the three of us, was not a source of embarrassment or shame. My twin's oldest brother (also my cousin) summed the situation perfectly: "all of this is natural. It is part of who we are as gay men."

Kory Mitchell: alpha position!
My oldest gay cousin at this time was a university student and our limited time together offered me an insight into the broader gay culture. During one of these sessions, he took the twins and myself into his bathroom and turned the shower on. He stripped and covered his body with shaving cream and showed us how to shave off all our body hair. His name for this project was "gay exploration" and he told us that lots of gay men were now shaving their body hair. (he did avoid shaving the hair growing on his testicles! Whew!) He asked for any questions afterward and allowed us to touch his freshly shaved skin. One experience I'm proud to report that I never repeated!
My philosophy is that body hair is to grow naturally. It is not to be groomed artificially! That is a very personal opinion that I simply couldn't resist inserting here: no offense to those who modify their body hair!
Kory Mitchell: after retirement from pornography!
I distinctly recall the article starring Kory and featuring pages of pictures of his hairy armpits and his full nudity that he admitted to being enthralled with men's underarm fur. My twin cousin who is also obsessed with a man's armpit hair and I both agreed that we had never known about this fascination from anyone. It was like all of a sudden, what we were both attracted to was now being openly admitted by a popular gay male porn-star as really genuine! We were not the only two who felt this way!
And now this attraction had an official name: maschalagnia. It also had an official definition and description. Hairy armpits now had a history!
Kory Mitchell: armpit hair and pierced penis!
For two young gay teens, our discovery of Kory Mitchell and this classic gay porn magazine edition helped to open our eyes to some of the possibilities awaiting us in the very real same gender loving (SGL) world. Not all ahead was a beneficial, inspiring and as sexually stimulating as Kory but it was as exciting.
He had "blessed" tattooed on the neck-base of his back and the "hope" tattooed on the right side of his neck. Instead of an "o" in hope, a red ribbon (AIDS awareness) was substituted. An extremely bold and courageous gesture at the time. We honor and salute your stamina for health, Kory! Great job, my man!
