Dick of the week:

He's been in a whole fistful of magazines -- mostly the mags that showcase the younger-looking guys. He's no longer a teenager, though -- and not even young 20s. Couldn't tell by looking at him, of course; he still gets carded in bars. But I met him when he was employed as a dancer in a gay bar in Key West. And he's been in magazines for the past several years.

He was one of the most energetic dancers there, so I tipped him a dollar. He took it and started folding it in half lengthwise, then in half again lengthwise -- over and over until it was quite thin. Then he pulled back his foreskin and slipped the end of the bill up underneath. Rolling the foreskin back in place, he danced for quite awhile with the dollar bill sticking out and waving around, calling even more attention to his dick as it bounced back and forth. At one point he lifted the free end of the bill in his fingers, and the friction was strong enough to enable him to pull his whole dick up without the bill slipping out.

If you're prejudiced against guys with rural accents, you might think Tiger Ray is one of the dimmer bulbs on the marquee -- but there you'd make a big mistake. He's done a lot more thinking about life and dicks than you might think. And how many hicks from the country measure things in centimeters?

Centimeters. Did I say centimeters? Yes I did. Most of the time his numbers refer to inches, but a metric measurement slipped its way in there somehow. Check it out!

(Because Tiger Ray is not, in fact, a dim bulb, I haven't "corrected" the grammar in the interview below. It makes the contrast between the accent and the ideas even more interesting.)

Let me begin with the standard Dick of the Week question: just how big IS your dick, anyway?

Eight inches -- and I got proof right here in what one of the magazines says!

How big around?

Never measured it that way. The size of a quarter, maybe a little bit bigger, but not much.

So when you jerk off, can you get your hand around it completely?

Right about that much [he shows me with his fingers].

So do you lose partners who think that you're too big for them?

Hmmmm... Well, I had some people say they would never let me fuck them because I'm too big. I did have this one partner, he has trouble taking it, so I guess [I'd say] yeah.

Which do you prefer: a big dick or a small dick? And why?

I'm not exactly a size queen. I'd say normal size, most likely. [Which is?] 7, 8 [inches], around that area. If a dick is too big, what can you do with it? It's hard to suck, it's hard to fuck you with. Normal size is more comfortable, I think.

What's the biggest dick you've ever had sex with?

[He groans.] Now THAT's a hard one! I would have to say ... the ten-inch one. I forget his name; he was about that size [he holds his fingers in an open circle with a one inch gap] and he fucked me with it, too! It didn't hurt as badly like I thought it would [he smiles].

The smallest?

[He laughs.] 3 inches if I'm correct -- not very big. About this size [he holds up his hand again]. There's a special way I hold a smaller dick, usually [see photo]. If they try to fuck you, you have to act like you're pleased with it, you know -- even if they can just barely get the head in.

Tell me about each of those two guys.

They're mostly just one-night stands, and I have a lot of those. (I never really had a boyfriend with a big dick or a small dick -- mostly medium.) I can't tell you much about the one-night stands. Most are pretty interesting. Now when a guy has a small dick, he knows how to touch and rub, most likely; they don't use their dicks too much [in sex acts sticking it into something]. Same thing with guys with big dicks -- they compensate for the fact that you can't take them [inside you] by the way they rub your body or suck your dick or play with your nipples.

Which is easier to keep hard -- a big dick or a small dick?

[His face reacts, looking really surprised.] I never really thought of that. Hmmmm... let me think about this one. I think most likely the small one, because the big ones need more blood. It's more difficult getting hard with the big one.

What's your favorite way of USING your dick?

I can be top or bottom, I'm versatile. I like to fuck, and I like pulling on my foreskin [he laughs] -- doing tricks with it, most likely.

What do you like about pulling on your foreskin?

It sends a sensation, in a way. A lot of people think pulling on something hurts most of the time. But not always. If you pull on it just right, it... Let me show you what I do. [I take a photo of him pointing to the sensitive spot.] I like it when a guy takes his teeth to it and pulls it out a little bit.

Concentrating on that sensitive spot?

Oh, yeah. My nipples are sensitive too -- that helps, also!

The sensitive part is the part of the foreskin that's at the bottom of the dick's head?

Right.

I take it that from time to time guys come on to you just because you have a big dick.

No, it's mostly my nipples. Guys like my nipples. They that's the first thing they really notice on you. My nipples sticks out. Let me show you. [He takes off his shirt and I circle around to get the best angle for a photo.] Some reason, guys find that more interesting. I don't know why, and most guys question me about my nipples a lot. They ask me, do I pull on them? Do this or do that to them? And I say no, they're natural. But I do like the sensation of sucking on them or pulling on them -- that helps him get harder [he points to his crotch].

How often do you get the impression that someone is interested in you ONLY because you have a big dick?

[He gets a puzzled expression.] I surely hope that they're interested -- because that's my business [exotic dancer]! A lot of guys [get interested for that reason], and I don't mind it.

How old were you when you first realized that your dick was bigger than most other guys'?

[He laughs.] Now that's a difficult one to answer. I knew I was bigger than my brothers and my father, but I always thought my dick was small. I never knew it was big until I went to California and some guys complimented me on a big dick. How old I was? Around 21.

What's the most annoying way someone comes on to you -- like in a bar or at a party?

[He whistles.] The annoyingest way of doing it is when they say they can get me this, get me that, "I'll be your sugar daddy" and all that. No way. That's really annoying. I want a guy to be honest with me, and he don't tell lies. If they want to date me for a short time, just come up and tell me. Don't promise me a bunch of bull, OK? Simple as that. If you promise me a convertible, that will NOT get me in bed with you. That'll turn me off quicker than anything else. If you want to date me, just ask. You don't have to make up anything or lie.

[He pauses a moment.]

I like an honest man.

If someone saw you in a bar, and figured out you had a big dick, what would be the best line for him to use to get you interested in him?

I find you cute, attractive, and I want to do you.

What would be the worst line?

I haven't run into anybody with that kind of worst line. Most people are upfront.

Do you prefer cut or uncut in other men? Why?

[He laughs.] Well, I like uncut -- I like a foreskin. A foreskin is something you can play with, take your tongue and slip in under the head of the foreskin, licking inside, taking my lip and pulling on it a little bit. It's more interesting. It's something there to play with. Without a foreskin they just have a head, and the head don't really interest me. And a foreskin has a slight taste -- I can't explain the taste. Some guys have one taste I DON'T like, and that is head cheese. Yuck! Because that's when the guy don't keep himself clean down there. It's a horrible taste, they let it build up and up and up and up. Now if the guy keeps it clean, no problem. I'm the kind of person who keeps myself clean all the time.

What makes a dick pretty, or good-looking?

Mostly just the shape. Because some guys have a nice-size head on their dick, it feels good. Some has a tiny head, more like an arrow shape -- it's all right [too]. Some guys curve; that I don't like too much. I like a nice straight one. And curving up is OK, too.

Do you think you have a pretty dick?

In my opinion, I have a nice dick. It's not the prettiest one I've seen. I lot of guys tell me it's nice and pretty, but it has a slight bow to the left. I'd like my head a little bit bigger but not too much.

Is your father cut or uncut?

He's cut.

Does your father have a big dick?

No.

How big?

Six.

And you mentioned a brother.

I have four brothers. They're all cut, and some has 5, or 6, or 6 and a half -- around that size. I'm next to the oldest. My older brother, he has I'd say around 6 and a half. X and Y, the two younger ones, they're twins, but they don't have the same sized dicks. I believe one's a little tad longer than the other, by a centimeter. My younger brother, he's about 6 also. X and Y are about 7.

So you've seen them all hard?

[He thinks for a moment.] Believe me, I've seen a lot of things in my life -- yes, I have.

Have you seen your father's hard?

Yes, when he comes out of a shower. [He laughs.]

What causes him to get hard in the shower?

My dad? I don't know. X -- I've seen his hard when I walked in on him watching a fuck film, and I seen my brother Y hard in the shower, and Z... I've seen him hard.

Does your dick have a name?

"Him." That's it. Or I say "he."

Has it ever had a different name, like when you were younger?

No.

Have you ever had the feeling that there is something wrong with your dick?

That has gone back to when I was younger. People in Kentucky always called me an ugly duckling. A lot of people said I wasn't cute, so most likely I felt that when I was younger. Today I think it's normal. My dick is good for doing what I need to do in this life. It's served me well in my life -- [porno] movies, this interview, and dancing.

How did you feel about being uncut when your brothers and father were cut?

That never crossed my mind [when I was younger]. Sometimes I think it was odd, but I never asked my mother or father why am I the only one uncut.

Do you have a guess?

Possibly I'd been adopted, or my mother fucked around behind my dad's back? Those were my only two suspicions.

When you're wearing clothes, do you keep your dick inside underpants?

I never wear underwear. Too confining.

Does it hang to the left or to the right?

To the left [he takes it out and shows me].

Has there ever been a period in your life of one year or more during which NO ONE other than you saw your dick?

[He smiles and thinks.] God... There ain't no period!

In high school, how often did other boys see your dick?

[He thinks again.] No one. When I took gym, I always wore underwear. About that time I was shy. In high school I thought my body was hideous, horrible, not in good shape. That's what I mean by the "ugly duckling" feeling, that's the way everybody made me feel. [Note: A fairy tale known to most American kids is the Hans Christian Anderson story of the "Ugly Duckling," in which a duckling who looks very unlike his nestmates grows up to be a beautiful swan.]

Girls?

No.

Nowadays, during an average week, how many people see your dick?

Everybody at the bar, where I dance -- thousands of people. My dick is shown a lot.

What movies have you been in?

"Brad's Big Weekend," "Punk" -- I can't remember them all. AllBoy [from the magazine], that's another one. I done some business with Surfside Studio. My first movie [Punk] I went under a different name -- Bernie Ray. I've got three more deals coming up soon.

Why is 'Tiger' in your name?

[He thinks quite awhile.] One of my [film] employers brung that up. The reason why is because I'm proud, like a tiger. Sometimes in my personality I do act like a tiger, just staring at somebody like a tiger would [he stares at me this way for a couple of moments; see photo]. It tells more about me. Plus, I'm a real tiger in bed!

Of course, everybody knows that a lot of teenaged boys get hard at inappropriate times -- and in a way so that other people can see that they're hard. Did this ever happen to you?

Quite a bit. Let me start when I was 12. I had a wet dream, and that's my first time ever coming. The next day I went to school, I got a hardon when I saw a cute guy. Nobody noticed it, thank God, and so I realized I was gay when I was 12. I was having sex then with a 25-year old guy -- I've always liked older men for some reason. They're better than younger men, because the younger ones don't how how to treat a younger guy. The older ones know how to do sex, and they make me feel much better and please me more than those younger guys. That's pretty much it.

Did anyone ever tease you or punish you when they noticed that your dick was hard?

No.

When you jerk off, how do you hold your dick in your hand?

[He shows me.]

What motion do you use?

I bring the foreskin all the way back, then all the way front. It feels good when the skin goes over the head; it gives the head some heat without [needing] lubrication. That's why I love my foreskin.

Guys I interview for Dick of the Week usually are exhibitionistic -- at least a little. Think back in your life to any times when you may have fantasized or thought about showing off your dick to someone else, on purpose. How old were you the FIRST time you had a thought or a fantasy like that?

12.

What was the fantasy?

Of taking that one guy into the woods, strip him down, start giving him a blowjob, pull out my dick, playing with myself then stand up and get HIM down on his knees giving ME a blowjob. And I had a real good hardon thinking about that -- right after the wet dream.

Did you ever carry it out?

With a different guy, yes. Not exactly with the one I wanted, but... I did it!

How old was he (the first one)?

He was in 8th grade. I was in 7th or so. But a year or two older.

What does your dick do when you dance naked?

He just flops around. I don't even try to get a hardon on stage cause it's not worth it where I work. People don't appreciate it by you putting the effort in. I have to dance to two songs on stage; [if I started with an erection] by the time I get my clothes off it'd be already soft. I done it several times before but nobody cared. You still get tipped the same way.

When you're dancing naked, do you think about how moving your body will move your dick? Do you do anything on purpose because of the way it's going to cause your dick to swing?

Oh yeah. A lot of my moves, like this move. [He shows me a forward-and-back move, and a side-to-side move, which I do my best to capture in the camera.]

What do you like the most about your dick?

I like the foreskin.

What do you like the most about having a dick?

I can swing it, I can do the quarter trick, the dollar trick -- play with my foreskin.

What do you like the most about a big dick?

Getting any guy I want with it! [He laughs.]

What do you like the least about your dick?

[He thinks.] I don't have that. I wish it was a little bit straighter.

What do you like the least about having a big dick?

I scare off some guys I like!

Has your dick ever gotten you in trouble?

[He thinks, hand on chin.] No, it never did, yet.

Which is easier to jerk off, a cut dick or an uncut dick?

The cut is difficult. The one with the foreskin is easier, because the skin moves, helps you stroke it. It's much smoother. Without the foreskin you have to use lube or something.

Anything else about dicks in general or your dick in particular?

Someone once drank a shot out of my dick -- a shot of Jaegermeister [using the foreskin as the glass]. I can put four of my fingers in there and still have some room left.

Thanks very much!

You're welcome.

We spend a few minutes going over his portfolio. If you want more photos of Tiger Ray, check out any of these magazines:

• Allboy -- September and November, 1999
• Blueboy -- September and October, 1998
• In Touch -- issue 241
• Inches -- December 1998

In most of these, he's one of the featured models; in a couple, he's in a small feature or an advertisement.

I then asked Tiger Ray to demonstrate the dollar-bill trick, just as he had done while dancing in the bar. He also demonstrated the trick with quarters. I only had 6 quarters on me, so we had to settle for that [see photos]. But he claimed -- and I believe him -- that he's had as much as $15 worth of quarters under his foreskin all at once (that would be a total of 60)! Tiger's foreskin is very supple, and as you can see from the photos it hugs the objects beneath it so closely that it's very easy to see their shape.

Let me see Tiger Ray's photos.
