American Porn Star

I live in Cinco Ranch, a master-planned community in the West Houston suburb of Katy, TX. My name is Mason Wyler. I'm 26 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Mason Wyler, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real Mason Wyler. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, Mason Wyler is simply not there.

So strange reading this part today."Only an entity, something illusory.Mason Wyler is simply not there."
Feel just like that today when my long term relationship ended with him saying he loves someone else.

While I agree Mason Wyler as a performance piece is irrefutable, I hope you'll concede the pleasure Mason brings into the world lies in pretending Mason is real.

Nevertheless Mason does NOT exist in a vacuum and currently has but a single interpreter/performer so irrespective of Mason's sources, he still reflects YOU, the performance editor. YOU remain obscured but not totally opaque.

Mason is free in ways YOU are not; run with it and enjoy.

Mason may not be there but you are. Take off your Mason shirt, wash it, iron it, hang it in the closet until you need to wear it again. Just be sure you take better care of the man in the shirt.

I love the post it is great. Heard it before in a Movie with christian Bale "American Psycho."

Your version is so much better. Looking perfect as always.

Almost forgot the financial and cosmetic cost, even for men, of maintaining skin care and youthful muscle tone. Past deceased friends from the 1980s were big into the skin care against wrinkles. I don't have to sunbathe for color, it's already in. I don't smoke which helps against the wrinkles. 1000 stomach crunches or pull ups, incredible. Mason Wyler as an abstraction for the fans, the celluloid online, the man in private another identity in swirling observing void.

The person who is there is the genuine person that many of us has gotten to know over the years. Whether we know you as Mason or by your real name, you are a living human being made up of flesh and blood. You work very hard to put smiles on many people's faces definitely including my face. I am grateful for the person I have come to know as Mason Wyler

Hey, you should see my business card Mason. The subtle off-white colouring, the tasteful thickness of it. It even has a watermark.

Hands down best first person POV description of a psychopath I've ever read. And by that I mean pathologically accurate.

Just stay away from chainsaws.

You could let Mason Wyler slip away and become your real self, again. Your real first name is the same as the very first boy whom I fucked and who fucked me when he and I were 13 and 14 in the hayloft. It could be why I still find bales of hay slightly erotic. Fond memories.

Also, wanted to ask you, if you will continue rating your top ten? (You stopped at #9.) I'm interested to see who 1 through 8 are!
