'09
Bret Michaels has been all over the news this week for his hilarious appearance at the Tonys. He and Poision performed with the cast of “Rock of Ages”, but the real highlight was the end of the performance, when Bret Michaels walked into a large, rapidly descending set piece. Bret was knocked out, and he ended breaking his nose and splitting his lip, but Bret seemed like a real trooper about the whole thing. Bless his heart, he was genuinely honored to be invited to perform at the Tonys, and he wasn’t about to let a busted face ruin his evening. The whole incident gave me a strange affection for the man.
Unfortunately, Bret is trying my patience with a recent interview in Elle Magazine (transcript via Huffington Post). It turns out Bret is a diabetic, which I didn’t know. He was diagnosed with diabetes as a kid, and Elle asked him how it affects him as an adult. Specifically, they asked about his sex life:
ELLE: You’ve lived with diabetes since you were a kid. How does the disease affect your sex life?
BM: The only time it will ever affect you in bed is if you have extremely low blood sugar and you go into insulin shock, at which point you won’t be standing up, let alone performing sex. However, I will sometimes hold off on the insulin, which will jack my blood sugar level up to the low 200 range. It’s like how a prizefighter will want to go into the ring with his blood sugar levels high. It gives you the stamina of a bull. So, yes, sometimes I will endanger my own life to pleasure a woman.
[From Elle Magazine via Huffington Post]
That is unbelievably dangerous. Even if controlling his blood sugar is something Bret’s been dealing with for most of his life, it is ridiculously stupid to consciously deny your body insulin to perform better in bed. I have diabetics in my family, and I’ve had diabetic friends, and this is literally the first time I’ve heard of a diabetic behaving in such a reckless way with their own insulin consumption.
Perhaps this can become one of those “teachable moments” politicians are always talking about. Hopefully, prominent medical professionals and Bret’s own doctor will speak up about how awful this concept is.

Prolly more for his own ego than for the woman’s sake. I cant imagine men like him/his type being anything other than self-absorbed, even while he says ‘to pleasure a woman’. Nice try, Brett LOL
-
Why doesn’t he just use the cucumber he keeps in his jeans?
-
Bret may be sorry as he gets older if he doesn’t keep his diabetes under control because high sugar levels can destroy the blood flow needed to achieve and maintain an erection.
However,based on his show, a bigger risk to his life is most likely the amount of skanks that he is boffing!
-
Totally out of context here…but it drives me crazy when a musician wears the shirt of the band he’s in while performing.
-
I see he is still stuffing his pants with a rolled tube sock. . .
-
Neelyo…where are you seeing a cucumber?? I’m just seeing a baby gherkin!
-
I think what’s even worse is the amount of alcohol this man drinks and he thinks it’s no big deal, that itself must mess his system up on a daily basis with his diabetes.
-
I am with daibeticdiva on this one, while his choice to withhold Insulin is clearly a bad plan, he is probably in even more danger from the bevy of STDs laden strippers he has dipped his stick into over the years.
-
His hair/bandanna/hat combination is actually one unit, right?
-
What? Don’t all women think it’s hot for a man to go into diabetic shock mid-coitus?
Moron.
-
He seems like a likeable douche to me, if that makes sense…He is harmless, except to himself apparently…Is this like the older rocker mentality, I am so edgy that I mess with my diabetes instead of hardcore partying?
-
i’m with teehee on this one - you just know instinctively that people who use the phrase ‘to pleasure a woman’ are lousy in bed…

No kidding. I would imagine that knowing the fella you are riding is steps away from death could hinder the relaxation and enjoyment factor that helps bring one to orgasm rather significantly. At least for most women.
-
I would LOVE to see what he looks like w/o the fake hair (and guyliner). Kinda like Tim McGraw. SCARY!!!
Tim McGraw with hat=hot
Tim McGraw w/o hat=pedophileC’mon Bret, man up and show us the bald head! We know it’s tthhhheeerrreeee!!
-

I think so. I must confess and I know this is horrible but I am dead curious to know what is going on under that whole headgear situaiton. Is is like peach fuzz, total baldness, one of those combover situations??
-
Wow, it’s Bret from the future!
What’s up with that caption on the picture?
-
Taylor: Me, too. But I’m sure he guards that information with his life. Too bad the only women who might have seen “that which lurks beneath” are probably illiterate, or we could found out via a “groupie tells all” book.
-
Totally Bret from the future! LOL, I noticed that too, had to think for a second that it’s not July yet.
Anyone watch the Rock of Love he did, what a bunch of skanks on the show,figures. He’ll never change. As for the insulin, I had gd and went into insulin shock once, it’s not pretty and for him to say he plays w/his blood sugar like that, good luck to whoevers w/ him. -
WTF? I’m diabetic and I feel like complete and utter crap when my blood sugar’s too high. What kind of weirdo gets sexually aroused by blurry vision, hot flashes, heart palpitations and nausea?
Wait, don’t answer that.
-
I just have one thing to say…
ewwwwwwww. xD
That skeeved me out. -
Yeah i mean there are so many other ways he could accomplish it, if to pleasure her was his real interest.
Not a creative guy, or, like first thought, just not that concerned with ‘her pleasure’ after all.
I know that everything *besides* what he implies, can be the greater source of pleasure for a woman…. -
i wish they would have more Brett Michaels articles. it seems to stimulate the creative juices of the posters and gives me quite a laugh.
(ewww associating juices with brett michaels kind of grossed me out though)
-
As much as it pains me to admit this, I have watched ‘Rock of Love’, myself and several friends have had a running ‘pick your pony’ bet for that show, I took the prize with Jess the first season but sadly hung my hat on Daisy the next season. This last season I was knocked out in like week 4, I was betting on one of the blondes, her name escapes me… but I digress. If he feels he needs to be at deaths door to sucessfully ‘pleasure a woman’ it seems he isn’t doing something right to begin with; he should condider buying some instructional books, renting some informative porn, or perhaps simply asking the woman in question what gets her going.
-
Had a friend die doing what Brett does. How do you think the woman will feel if you die on her, Bret or don’t you care?
You are so stuck on your d**k and sex with (so they say) “ex”-strippers that you’ve become a real manskank.
You’ve got a kid, Bubba. GROW UP!!! -
And another thing:
Your 1st season I thought you were pretty cool. The 2nd season you started showing your true colors (Just wanting to see lots of flesh, copping feels, etc.) The 3rd season was truly awful. It’s like you wanted a full time porno house and the girls were more than desperate to oblige. Manskank, that’s what you are. You really are nasty and shallow. Uck!
I feel so sorry for your kid.
IF you come back for another tv show I will NOT watch. Had enough manskank episodes to last me a lifetime. -
I have two diabetic children so I am no expert on diabetic sexxy times but wouldn’t it decrease your sugar a la exercise? Therefore you would want a higher sugar before you begin? I know that we send my older son into his soccer games with an elevated sugar in the low 200’s. But he is a kid & his target blood sugar is a higher rate than a grown man in his forties. Just a thought…
-
What does that make him some kind of sexual hero, pleeeeeze. He’s a girly man.
-
i would comment on bret’s selflessness, but i am laughing way too hard!
-
@Codzilla and TaylorB
Michael K has the best phrase for it: a weave-danna!
/still grossed out from the previous tube sock pic

Dear god in heaven!!! I was laughing so hard I had to go stand in the supply room so as not to freak anyone out.
-
Codzilla you’re killing me. *Cannot stop laughing*
-
Yeah, OK, Bret Michaels. You’re straight. You love sex. We get it.
I don’t even imagine Bret Michaels as actually enjoying sex. He passes me off as the kind of guy who enjoys foreplay, teasing, and pseudosex but when it comes down to the actual act itself, he’s probably boring in bed.
I feel a little bit bad for Bret Michaels in a sense that he believes that all these young stripper/softcore porn types are really Poison fans and aren’t just competing for his affection to get on TV. I bet that Bret Michaels going into diabetic shock during sex with most of these chicks would be like hitting the jackpot for them because attention, whether positive or negative, is still attention. They can be the ones being interviewed on E! True Hollywood Story or something.

I recall about 10 or so years ago, his hotel room being raided as the maid thought he was shooting up, when infact he was injecting his insulin into his stomach, there was a big hoo-ha over him being allowed to carry needles,on flights, forget that he needed them to live!
-
*sigh* I wish he had never done that stupid show - or made that comment. I so prefer my memories of the 80’s to remain firmly in place (in my HEAD) and not dragged along, aging with me. Every Rose was once a lovely memory, now it’s like a fresh cut Christmas tree that nobody watered still in the living room - in May. *sigh*
-
I’ve hung out with brett and his crew a few times ,and he is so not slutty as he’d like you to believe. Now Rikki i’ve seen him take a mom and daughter into his bus in Palm Beach.
