To Buck: a letter of appriciation
Lately I have been getting more and more of these kinds of emails. It really makes me so happy that I could be such a positive influence to people. I really feel this strength and power in my message grow everyday. I am sharing this one with you that I received today.
Dear Buck,
I just wanted to say that first off, you’re an amazing person. I’ve known about you for several years now, but only recently did I decide to look up your Wiki and watch some of your videos on Youtube. I want to say: THANK YOU. Thank you for doing what you do – for being so tremendously brave and intelligent and compassionate.
I am a 24 year old trans man from Texas. I was finally able to begin medical transition 5 months ago. My whole life, I was upset by my sexuality. Ever since I was a kid I hated what was “down there” but could never explain why. I never touched myself there without being covered up and mostly I pretended I would someday grow a penis. This was how I got by for the longest time.
Then I came across you. Hearing your inspirational words, and hearing you talk about how you love your body, was like some kind of divine revelation to me. It was the first time I had ever come across someone so loving towards themselves. I come from feminist circles, and they’re always talking about self-love, but you hardly ever see that kind of thinking actually being realized. Here is a trans man, totally at ease with his body! It made me really begin to look deeply into my heart. I actively began to try and love my body more.
Then T started doing crazy things to me, and my sex drive went through the roof (and still is!) Suddenly I began to feel compelled to explore my body lovingly, and for the first time in my life, I am actually at peace with not having a penis. It feels so ironic, that now I am in transition, I am more comfortable with what I “lack” than ever before!
I’m sorry this is turning into a long letter. Buck, thank you. Thank you for helping me be brave, and giving me self-confidence. You also helped me see that when I transition, people will still find me attractive. (I had a crippling fear that nobody would ever want to sleep with me after transition, and I know this is bologna now!) Thank you also for your PSA messages. I had unfortunately been putting off getting gynecological check ups for a while due to dysphoria, but you gave me a little push and now I’m getting an appointment set up.
Thank you for everything Buck. You are an amazing guy and you give people like me hope everyday.
Sending you lots of love and admiration,
Erotica New Zealand 2010
WOW! Just returned from a 3 week trip that started in Los Angeles. I was filming some of my documentary there, Then headed to New Orleans for 10 days of shooting my wife Elayne Angel doing piercing at Nola Tattoo and doing a talk to the medical association there about her book The Piercing Bible. We also celebrated her birthday and we had a blast. I don’t talk much about my wife just because we like to keep our private life private but I just want to say one thing, I am a very lucky man!!
After New Orleans she went back to Mexico and I was off to Auckland New Zealand for the Erotica 2010. What a hell of a day or days I should say. I left New Orleans at 4 pm to get to LAX at 9pm. My flight to NZ was scheduled for 11:30pm so I ran to the VIP lounge to take a shower before that long 12 hour flight, Because I smelled so fucking bad. I swear this testosterone makes me smell like I have been playing football all day. I like the smell but believe me many people on the plane take offense and start spraying perfume..UGG I hat that shit.
So anyway after the shower I was taken to the plane to board. I was flying over there with Nina Hartley and Dana Dearmond. Two of the hottest chicks in porn. We basically all slept the whole way there. When i arrived I was scheduled for a TV show interview on News 3 Auckland. Later that day we just fucked off so we would not have jet lag because we had some serious work days coming up.
That next day Gina Lynn and Tory Lane showed up. Now there were 4 hot girls with me..WOOOF!!
The next day was wed. and we had Auckland Boobs On Bikes parade to do then Thursday Hamilton Boobs On Bikes to do. You can see the pics there. At the hamilton Boobs on Bikes we got harassed by the christians. They were telling us to “Get a real Job” haaa! Fuck don’t they know we have a real job and anyway why weren’t they at work??
Friday-Sunday was the show at the fairgrounds. What a trip that was. We signed all day for 12 hours a day. I did 2 shows a day as well as Tori Lane. It was so fucking funny as they had never seen anything like me before . I love to work the crowd by going in the audience and playing with them. Well most of these guys just took off when I came out there. They fucking ran from me. How weird. I am posting a small visual of my show here as well as the pics..
The show was great but let me tell you I was happy to get home after 3 weeks. Not sure where I am off to next but I have been contacted by Sydney Mardi Gras for Feb so lets hope that goes so I can get back to Auckland for some more fun.

“recently found out about Buck Angel”
This is what I woke up to on the morning of my presentation at IdeaCity10. I love how my Mayan Gods always put things in front of my face to show me I am right on track ! WOOF!! Buck
Dear Buck,
I have recently became aware of you via internet.I happen to be A 36 year old straight, single dad from Alabama.I have watched some of your you tube videos,and I have to say you sir, are A mans’ man! I would love to sit around and drink A beer with you and just listen to you talk. You are beyond A doubt,the most confident, positive,upbeat person that I have listened to.What you stand for is so much bigger than you and I both.You are A cultural icon.You are right when you says, it is not what is between your legs that defines you.I think if more people become aware of you,their closed minded thinking would be deterred.I have A 15 year old son that I would let watch and listen to you(non- pornagraphic material, of course,,,,,lol)I have always had confidence issues,and just watching some of your videos on you tube, have really made me feel better about me! You represent the very essence of manliness. I am A former Marine and can definately consider myself “manly”, but you have opened my eyes.It is not what is between our legs that defines us.That quote by yourself,is one of the most important quotes of our humanity.People are too busy trying to compartamentalize what society tells them is right,good looking, and true, and place into their tiny little box.They should instead,lay that box down,and jump up and down until it breaks!!Meaning more people should think outside the proverbial box,and you sir,are the man that is gonna make this happen.I feel touched by your message,and hope many thousands more are as well.
Bless you sir,for you are what is right with this world!!
