Hey Stephan! by gymrat
May 20, 2009
Taylor Swift’s new single, “Hey Steven” could well have been penned for our new cam guy, Stephan. Although the name in Taylor’s song is spelled a bit differently, her lyric “cause I can’t help it if you look like an angel” describes our “Stephan’ to a tee.
Stephan considers his most appealing physical quality to be his amazing abs, for obvious reasons (all you need to do is watch one of his chats). His best non-physical feature is his entrepreneurial spirit. He’s always thinking up potential business ideas and just needs to keep the motivation and drive to carry some of them through to get the ball rolling.
The pyhsical quality Stephan likes least about himself are his biceps, due to the fact it’s difficult for him to add any mass to them! Stupid biceps!! The non-physical would be his struggle with focusing on projects, or being too much of a perfectionist – rather than being time efficient and being able to do a “good enough” job, rather than always being perfect.
If Stephan could change one feature, he would choose eyes or teeth. “I’m like half-blind, and I’m sick of wearing contacts. And I need invisa-line braces and teeth whitening”. That to me sounds crazy, ’cause his eyes and teeth “look like and angel”. Mr. Stephan wishes he was a bit more outgoing and daring socially; he gets waves of confidence and fearlessness, but normally is more on the shy side.
Stephan is currently a full time server at a restaurant, while also entertaining us with his angelic “Cam With Him” chats; and working some online business ventures. He got started here as a fan of the girls’ site “Cam With Her” , talked with one of the models, and decided to give it a try.
Stephan is a college graduate (I know, I know, he doesn’t look that old), with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing. He is interested in building his own businesses to the point where he can do what he wants, set his own hours, and work on his own projects. He also stated ” I want to move to the beach and become a surf bum”!
I posed some of my usual, thought provoking questions to our guest:
-If you could have dinner with 4 people, living or dead, who would they be? “Hmm… Well, I’m a big sports fan, so I’d probably pick some sports characters, and also the author of my favorite book, which set me on my path of financial freedom:
1) Rober Kiyosaki – author of Rich Dad Poor Dad
2) Deron Williams – Point Guard, Utah Jazz
3) Matt Hasselbeck – charismatic QB of the Seattle Seahawks
4) Michael Jordan – greatest basketball player of all time
“Although, that’s an all male list. I may need to re-do that to include some sexy female celebrities/models. Like, Kate Beckinsale… she is SOO hot! And the Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio”.
-If you could play any sport professionally, what would it be? “Haha oh, easy! I’ve always dreamed about how awesome it would be to play basketball for a LIVING! To make millions of dollars to play a damn sport that I play for fun anyways! That’s why I’d love to own a team, but a couple hundred million may be a little out of my price range”. “Football would be fun, if I weighed about 50 pounds more. I have the speed though”.
- What is your definition of success? “It’s all relative to each person. Each person dreams up their own version of success for themselves. Everyone has dreams, but most people don’t believe, or give up, so they don’t reach their own “success”. So success is all about self-actualization – achieving goals and dreams that one sets for oneself, thereby giving happiness.” Deep answer from a deep thinking dude- editor’s note…see Abraham Maslow’s heirarchy of needs triangle.
Stephan believes he’s capable of making a great impact. What that is, he’s not sure of yet, but he will work towards being able to use his mind, money, and resources to be great, and make a difference. Also part of his “success” would be surrounding himself with good friends, and eventually an awesome wife and kids, and remaining physically active and healthy.
-If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? “Um, I dunno, that’s tough. I think my sister would pick “No wars, ever”; and that’s a good one, but I think I’d go with something like Education, Hope, and Inspiration for every human being. I think that could help solve a lot of the world’s problems, including wars, poverty, violence, etc. For most people, common sense isn’t so common. In a lot of the poorer areas, people grow up a product of their surroundings, and end up dead or in jail.
- What bothers you most about what is happening in our country today? “Just the fact that so many “professionals” were involved in the collapse of the financial industry and economy. I totally understand how greed could fuel some actions, but for entire companies and sectors to just follow fundamentally TERRIBLE business decisions, leading to the destruction of their own companies, consumers, and the whole economy is just ridiculous! Back to the common sense not being so common thing”.
-. Are you dating anyone seriously? What are the characteristics you look for most in a potential life partner? “No, I am single. I live in a small town, and there’s not much to do here, even though it’s a college town. I need to get out to a bigger area where I can meet more people. And also, I’m fairly shy and picky. Not a great combination. Sense of humor is a pretty big deal. Gotta be able to have fun, and laugh, and use/understand sarcasm. Also, intelligence is kind of important. Like, poor spelling and grammar can be a turn-off. Like saying “Our team is loosing”, or “I am going too the store”. Haha.” editor’s note- use spell check before this goes to print
-You have an amazing body, share some of your secrets to success….diet, nutrition, lifting, number of times a week you workout, how many meals a day, etc. Are you specifically training for some type fitness competition? “My secret to success is simple: Fast metabolism. I also love physical activity. I love playing sports, hiking, working out sometimes, etc. I eat whatever I feel like, and I don’t really work out right now. Just play sports. But I want to start doing the P90X program, cause I want to get in better shape – more flexible, more muscle, etc”.
- What do you think is the biggest challenge to young people today? “Well, it would depend on the young person. I already mentioned those growing up in poor/violent areas. And obviously there’s all the pressure of society, and other kids, and bullying and all of that. But maybe I’ll go with a lack of quality mentors – including parents, teachers, friends, etc. – the people who mold a child’s personality, traits, and future”. It’s ironic Stephan mentioned “bullying”….I had not realized what a huge problem this is in today’s society, until I recently saw a show where 2 kids who were bullied in school, and called “gay”, went home and hung theirselves.
-Last but definately not least- Boxers or briefs? “I grew up wearing tighty whiteys, but in high school switched to boxers. I don’t really think they’re as sexy as the things we cam guys wear on the site, like boxer-briefs or man-thongs and such, but they are the most comfortable”. You’ll get no arguments from this author on that response.
- Anything else you might like to add, that the members wouldn’t know about you, that would be interesting/unique? “Um, I can’t really think of anything else. Growing up I loved to draw and paint. Then, I got into digital imaging, and I’ve created quite a few logos. I grew up with a cat, loving cats, then got a dog, and I absolutely love dogs. Hopefully soon I can afford to get my own place and support a canine friend. I think that’s it….”
Taylor Swift’s lyrics are right on target, this “Stephan” is an angel, and an incredibly bright, honest and thoughtful one at that! It was my pleasure to be afforded the opportunity to interview him.

April 9, 2009
Our buff bodybuilder CamGuy James attempts to live his life by “The Golden Rule”, that is to say “give everyone a chance and the benefit of the doubt, and attempts to treat everyone how he likes to be treated. James admits to having a temper, and sometimes losing his patience, is a bit of a perfectionist, and is constantly striving to better himself, both mentally and physically (if that’s possible).
Besides having an amazing body, James truly is a “Man with the Plan”. He is currently a full time student, majoring in Psychology, and is planning on doing some intern work this summer. Although he is a Psych major, he plans to attend grad school for Occupational Therapy. Hmmmm, come to think of it, I’ve been having alot of racing thoughts, and shoulder pain lately.
Mr. James is a competitive natural bodybuilder, who says it’s ALL about nutrition and just simply consistency. As with many things in life, developing a sound plan and sticking to it is the most important thing to keep in mind. James trains five days a week.
I posed several thought provoking questions to James, and he came up with some very well thought out, interesting responses:
-If you could have dinner with 4 people, living or dead, who would they be? “Hmmm, this is a tough one…ok, Arnold, Freud (psychologist), Hayden Patierre, and Will Smith”.
- What is your definition of success? “Accomplishing all the goals I’ve set out for myself, and just continually bettering myself to the point I am both mentally and finacially stable”.
-If Iyou could change one thing about the world, what would it be? “There are lots of things, but I think a cure for cancer or diabetes would be a good start”.
-What bothers you most about what is happening in our country today? ” I would have to say the war in Iraq… but I can agree to disagree”.
- What do you think is the biggest challenge to young people today? ” I woud say the fact society enables us to be able to be too lazy, hence all the overweight kids, juvenile diabetes, etc. So while I love technology, I think it is also in a way hurting the youth with all the video games and everything”.
And last, but definately not least…boxers or briefs? ” Oh briefs, defintely “. Hmmmm, I KNEW there was a reason I loved this guy!
James is currently single, and feels at this point in his life, he wouldn’t have time to date anyone seriously. Some of the characteristics he looks for in the opposite sex are: a good sense of humor and personality, someone shorter than himself, and “blonde and beautiful don’t hurt either”.
Finally, James wanted to let everyone here on the site know what a pleasure it has been interacting with all of the members…”for the most part everyone is very genuine and nice “. The pleasure has been all ours, James!

1 Comment »More than "Meets the Eye" Camguy – Kevin by gymrat
February 28, 2009
If you’ve had the pleasure of participating in one of Kevin’s member chats; no doubt you’ve mentally entertained the idea of their being more to this hot guy than just his incredibly good looks. Obviously, first impressions are lasting- and are typically based on our physical observations of an individual.
Physical observations of Kevin are immediate, and striking: The dark steel eyes, beautiful yet mischevious smile, cool haircut, massive chest, washboard abs, sculpted waist…and the sinewy serpentine vein, precariously slithering down his left shoulder. Alas, there is much more to this sexy guy than meets the eye.
THE FACTS – Kevin is an open minded individual, and a bit of a perfectionist, who’s seldom satisfied with maintaining the status quo in life. He received his undergraduate degree from Plymouth State College in New Hampshire, majoring in Management, with a minor in Economics. He currently works in a management position for a distribution company for health, beauty care and general merchandise to supermarkets all over the east coast. Kev’s definition of success is “love what you do”.
THE RANDOM STUFF- I posed several of my own random questions, to learn a bit more about what makes this sexy guy tick:
- If you could have dinner with 4 people, living or dead, who would they be? Einstien, John Lennon, my girlfriend & Jessica Alba.
- What bothers you most about what is happening in our country today? Right now the state of the economy and I have a bad feeling we are heading down the path of socialism.
-If you could play any sport professionally, what would it be? Baseball
- What do you think is the biggest challenge to young people today? Stupid people are reproducing at a higher rate than smart people =P
THE SEXY STUFF- Kev seems to have recently met the girl of his dreams. He and Adriana met at the gym (what a surprise), while working out. Kevin is extremely selective, and picky about who he lets himself get close to; so it’s taken forever, for him to settle down. Looks are the first thing you notice about someone, and Kevin needs to be with someone who is pysically fit and likes taking care of there body inside and out.
Kevin also feels to make a relationship suceed, you need to have some things in common; but not too much, or the relationship becomes stale. Adriana is from Brazil, so she comes from a completely different culture, which sometimes makes communication difficult. The couple are teaching and learning from each other, which only allows the relationship to grow and become stronger in the long run. Perhaps it is just the cultural differences, but Adriana enjoys the simple things in life and made Kevin realize some of the things he used to think were important, perhaps were insignificant. Adriana is “caring and affectionate and it’s really refreshing for me to be with her”.
THE FITNESS STUFF- Kevin has an incredible body, and is the oldest camguy on our site. Kev treats the gym like a job….it’s something he does 5 days a week, with NO EXCEPTIONS….and its fun for him. He’s been working out for over 13 years and during this time has obviously been very committed to developing his body. He was active in High School, playing basketball, baseball and football but didn’t participate in sports in college. He needed another outlet, and began to get serious about weight training as a lifelong activity. Over the years, Kevin has achieved amazing progress, and looking in the mirror to see his physique develop is extremely satisfying. When Kevin was a freshman in college, was 5’6″ and 135lbs; by the time he graduated, he was 5’8″ , and 150lbs . He is currently at 5’9″ and 170lbs!
THE HEARTWARMING STUFF- Kevin took over the enormous responsibility of becoming the legal guardian of his half brother, Dave. Dave came to live with Kevin when he was a sophomore in High School, at fifteen years of age. He had alot of problems with drugs at a very young age, like so many of today’s youth. Dave had never experienced a stable home environment, his mom threw him out when he was arrested for selling pot, and he went to live with Kevin’s Father in Maine, which didn’t work out either. Dave also spent some time in foster care. Kevin knew in his heart Dave was a great kid, with alot of potential, but just needed the right guidance and direction; which is why Kevin opened up his home to Dave.
The story has a very happy ending, as Dave graduated from High School in 2007; and now is a member of the Army National Guard. He’s twenty years old, and just moved into his own place a few weeks ago. Dave has a very bright future ahead of him, and Kevin is extremely proud of the fact he was able to play a large part in steering him in the right direction. Kevin is, as he told me during our interview, “Pretty good at life”.
In summary, I wanted my first article to be more than just a “fluff piece” on a hot guy; this is the main reason I selected Kevin as the gentleman to write about. I hope you all enjoyed learning a bit more about this great guy!
Oh, one last topic I failed to address…he wears briefs during the day, and boxers at night
