Back Issues: In Touch For Men *~๐Ÿ€~*


A roll in the hay with an Irish stableboy

Back Issues: In Touch, Nov, 1981

Patrick Fitzwilly is a former stableboy from Galway, Ireland w ho is hitchhiking his way around the world, or something like that...  When our man in the streets, European branch, caught up with him in London, found out he was 19 and saw the word SEX tattooed on his arm, he knew immediately that this boy was incredibly IN TOUCH material.

'My goal in life is to the world and get as far away from the stick of the horses as I can!'

Patrick didn't take it well when he was told the nude shoot would take place in a stable.   There was an initial protest, and minor, but adorable Irish lad tantrum.  As you clearly can see, Patrick ended up stripping down to bare essentials for one last, (in a barn anyway) roll in the hay.  


Hot Paddy


FaVorites


Every March 17th, I try to spotlight an Irish actor, or an Ireland based movie.  This year, I went back to an actor I previously featured on the site.  I did so, after finding the implied nude of him, covered only in the Irish flag.  I was actually first introduced to Irish Emmett J. Scanlan because of another Irish actor, Paul Mescal. 


After seeing, and loving Mescal in Normal People, I started looking for more of his work.  This was back in 2020, before Mescal made it big in the movies.  At the time, he only had a few credits, but one of them, was the Irish mystery min-series The Deceived.  I quickly found a way to watch, but instead of being enchanted by Mescal, I was drawn to the hot bearded lead, played by Scanlan.


Scanlan got his start on television, including a few years on the soap Hollyoaks.  It was during that time, the actor posed for many pin-ups for British magazines and soap opera publications,  Scanlan's Irish flag image, actually comes from a centerfold in British Cosmo.  Scanlan continues to work steadily in film and on television.  Some of you may have seen him in regular roles in the series MobLand and Peaky Blinders.

Although this post is focused on some of my favorite shots, if you check back to previous post on the hot Irish Paddy, you'll see images, and a video clip, from his full frontal scene from the 2009 film Savage. (HERE:)

Pubs & Parades *~๐Ÿ€~*


'There are only two kinds of people in the world, The Irish and those who wish they were.'


I think the quote above explains why so many of us, Irish or not, love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  I'm not Irish, but I love the culture, the accent, the countries natural beauty, and the many wonderful people of Irish decent I've met over the years.


This post brings together many random images I've saved over the years, all with both the holiday theme, and a focus on the male form.  When looking at my folder, I noticed that so many St. Paddy's Day visuals I saved fell into two categories.  Parades and Pubs.


I know it's a bit clichรฉd when it comes to March 17th, at least in America, the holiday seems to usually starts with parade, and ends at the pub.  For some, they skip the parade, and head straight to the pub.  Although stereotypical,  Most big cities have a St. Patrick's Day parade, and most cities, big or small, have an Irish pub. 



Although not a requirement, those pubs often end in a y's.  Murphy's Pub, Molly's Tavern, Paddy's Bar, and of course The Killarney or the Blarney Stone.  My research indicates that in Ireland itself, the names of Pub's are more original, and much more cultural and interesting.  Some of my favorites include: Blakes of the Hollow, The Sky and the Ground, The Gravediggers, The Crosskeys and Moran’s Of Mornington.


I've spent many hours in my town's Irish pub, but not many on St. Paddy's Day.  I'm usually working.  I go frequently for Sunday brunch, and on Friday evening after work for Pan Fried Haddock or the loaded nachos.  Not exactly Irish stew or bangers (pork sausage) and mash, but when it comes to food, I'm a creature of habit.  They know me at the pub, they know all the regulars, and when I don't order the haddock or nachos, they're always surprised. 


Whether your Irish or not, and whether you're attending a parade, heading to the pub, or like me, going to work, enjoy your day!



And... after a few dozen rounds of green beer, the clothes are bound to eventually come off.
