Hello, Handsome.


I am your host, Noodles and Beef, and welcome to my blog. It's my creative dumping ground and journal. I post work from my photo projects, sketches from my notepad, and infographics from my research. Sometimes I write about personal stuff but more often I post photos of my butt.

I'm a single, gay, 25-year-old who lives in San Francisco, and I do UX for a living. Your hair looks amazing today.

Anyway, thanks for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy it!
Let’s talk about Tops and Bottoms. I asked respondents to indicate their sexual role on a scale of 1 (total bottom) to 5 (total top), with 3 being versatile and 0 indicating that this question wasn’t relevant to them.  (Not all folks use top/bottom roles, etc). Overall, the distribution of tops and bottoms follows a near-perfect bell curve, with most folks being “Versatile.” But, when we break it down by Cliques…it gets interesting: Daddies are statistically more likely to be tops than any other clique Twinks, Cubs and Bulls (surprise!) are the most likely to be bottoms Bears (topish) compliment Cubs (bottomish) This has been added to the live infographic, so it will be updated as more data comes in.  Though, with nearly 8,000 responses, these averages won’t change much.
