"How did Bear become synonymous with any old chubby homosexual?"... that is the question editor-in-chief Steven Wolfe asks in his latest editorial in BEAR magazine (website - articles - TubeBear), issue #69. It brings up the age-old question of '...What is a Bear?...', and in this case, Wolfe is going about it the other way, asking '...What isn't a Bear?...'.

Wolfe goes on to say that "porn studios like BearFilms and CyberBears have spent years flooding the market with chub porn that seems to be allergic to Bears who are physically fit"... and Wolfe wants to see Bear media to be "prouder, more masculine, sexy, iconic, unapologetically unshaven - and non-sizeist".

Unfortunately for Wolfe, the response to his editorial has been less than favourable. If this LiveJournal entry is any indication as to how people are responding to Wolfe's words, then Wolfe's definition of Bear does not seem aligned with many others.

I decided to get in touch with BEAR Magazine and they are quite aware that this editorial was definitely going to stir something up, favourable or not. They also stated that in their upcoming February issue #70, they have a guest editorial who writes an opposing response to that of #69.

Yesterday, I posted some pics of a BearFilms' model - Robert Elephante (article). Robert is also one of the guys who's in one of their latest DVDs - 'Big Easy Bears': "Winning the Sire Ursus Bear Contest was just the beginning of Robert Elephante's lucky night. Backstage he stumbles onto Boyd Somers servicing the fat cock and huge balls of bartender, Cliff Douglas. Robert wastes no time collecting the rest of his prize. Boyd and Cliff take turns fucking, sucking, rimming and offering their willing holes up with legs spread wide while kicking back in the sling. The contest winner uses his huge cock, as well as a couple of toys to bring all three bears to the point of shooting their hot come all over themselves".
