A third one!  Apparently he also got emotional about John Ritter's death.  I am liking him more and more.  He is so open emotionally.  Apparently Howard Stern made fun of his crying.   Haven't found a clip of the monologue yet.

*edit* See posts on the previous page.

I'm sure you're not alone, Caircair, and you are lucky because that means you don't need a live guy to satisfy your fetish!  I love both acting-crying and non-acting crying -- each type has its charm!!  But I admit, I prefer "live, in the flesh" crying to "pre-taped two dimensional" crying, if I can get it up close!  Like being within arm's reach of a live crying actor would be a dream come TRUE for me -- in fact, I wrote a fic about that once (in the fic section).  Ideally, I do like interactivity.  I want to be a part of the experience somehow, whether the tears are joyful, sad, or something else, and hugging and being able to comfort.  The people on the screen can't even see me, so although I still love watching the movies, I guess I feel a bit left out.  If that makes sense.

OK, so last night I read that Jimmy Kimmel ALSO cried on the last episode of The Man Show (something that I would think would be fine to post here if anyone finds it!)  Well, when I read THAT, it was just too much for me to bear... he finally tipped me over the edge and turned me on.   Because it wasn't just a one time thing.  He's obviously a "crier".  A sensitive man who gets emotional easily.  THAT'S what did it for me.  Awww...

*edit* Here's a link to my actor-based crying fic, "Fantasy Maker".  Actually, it is an incomplete fic.  Maybe I should finish it sometime.  I can't believe the thread has over 600 views... WOW!!

I'd prefer the screen, same reason you mentioned, since I can get "up close and personal".  On stage I would be more skeptical of the "reality" involved, and would probably be trying to figure out just how they managed to cry on cue, rather than being caught up in the moment.  Of course, I get this way as well watching on a screen - if it isn't realistic enough I start criticizing the acting.  E.g., there was an episode of "The Mentalist" this year where Owan Yeoman as Wayne Rigsby was crying - if you want to call it that.  Sure, his face was wet, but there was no expression, no actual flowing tears, nothing to indicate any sort of emotion going on.  I was very disappointed - but not surprised.  I don't think that actor can do anything much beyond surface acting.  However, I wouldn't mind seeing Tim Kang give a crying scene a go - I suspect he'd be much better at it.

@Psychic_girl  Actually, I don't really need a fix as far as new video material goes (though I always enjoy seeing what others have found).  I think my female friends would be much more understanding of my fetish than the males, but I don't have any interest in telling my female friends.  Luckily, I have enough female "cyber friends" here if I ever feel like talking about crying with someone. 

The only "fix" I need is an intimate, real-life male crying experience with someone I know (meaning we're talking with each other while it's happening or I'm in close enough proximity that I could technically reach out and touch him).  The last one of THOSE happened 6 years ago -- and there wasn't even a hug (but it was a good conversation).  

I don't think there's an answer.  I don't think telling male friends about the fetish is the answer.  I did tell one a few years ago but it's not like anything good came out of telling him, and certainly no "fixes."  I think the fact I'm married probably makes a difference compared to if I were a single person telling single guys.  Hopefully he's forgotten ALL about me telling him by now!!! 

It's OK, I'm used to it.  If it gets unbearable, I write a short fic, and that's the closest I can get to a release.  When I write the fic, it almost feels like it really happened to me.  Closing my eyes and imagining it doesn't work nearly as well for me as writing it out in great detail.  Nor does video watching.  

In answer to your question... yeah, I think it's possible a guy could cry on cue without being emotionally involved.  I've heard of a technique where you just try really really hard to imagine the bodily sensations that you would feel IF you were crying, and then once you start feeling that, it's like your body starts to take over and actually starts making those same sensations itself, so the person starts crying real tears but it's not like they produced them from thinking about something they are emotionally involved with.

In real life i used to see, well ''see'' from afar guys shedding tears and at times it felt different then on tv. But on both occasion i get a profound ''gut'' reaction when a man, the kind you wouldn't imagine crying, gets all of the sudden in a crying situation. 

Ahhh, some people call that gut sensation the "stomach flip"  For me, it's like my stomach drops (a dropping sensation like riding a roller coaster) and is a HUGE turn-on at the same time.  I haven't felt it in a long time, though.  I wish I could figure out the formula for when it happens.  I think I really need to feel their emotions (or feel my own emotions) to get that sensation -- often, I'm just watching crying in a detached mode and can't 'feel' enough to get turned on, even if objectively I think it's a very good crying scene.
