en1972. Few limits here

It sounds like you have some traumatic memories of playing hockey as a kid. That sounds horribly painful. I understand your reaction and there's no doubt your read on hockey's pervasive homophobia is rooted in reality. I think lots of people, including Rachel Reid who wrote Heated Rivalry and Jacob Tierney who wrote and directed the adaptation for television, agree with you. I think both wish it was different, too. Rachel is the first to say her books are romantic fantasy. The power structure of her fictional hockey league isn't welcoming to men who have sex with men either. The fictional commissioner is a very clear homophobic villain. She makes just one team in the entire league a place where the homophobic culture doesn't completely dominate. Individual players and coaches, just like individuals in the real world, have their own attitudes and experiences and we get to see how they play out in a less homophobic environment. I think that's the whole point. Rachel and Jacob were aligned on celebrating queer joy in the source material and the adaptation, arguably very successfully. Again, it's a romantic fantasy so that's what it is supposed to do. They also managed to show how human beings lives can be distorted by fear and prejudice and what it can take to get over or around it. Meanwhile, the real-world hockey league is getting about a 20% bump in ticket sales from HR fans kicking the tires as new hockey fans. New hockey fans who come into the sport knowing the league has *never* had an active player who is out, and whose expectation is for the league to make moves so that changes. I've heard a lot of chat about how Rachel's fantasy hockey league seems to have way more gay and bi players than it should, but looking at the statistics, it seems like she's only scratching the surface. About 6% of men in the general population self-report as same-sex attracted and there are 736 active NHL players at any time. It looks like about 1000 NHL players overall. Bear in mind that self-reporting is significantly less than the real number since so many men would not self-report. That means conservatively there are between 44 and 60 gay, bi, and queer players in the NHL. I'm pretty sure Rachel's book series hasn't come close to the lower threshold number in queer characters, so in my view her fictional hockey league is still dramatically underselling the number of same-sex attracted men there are in real-world hockey. I'm sorry you were so ill-treated and abused when you were younger. The NHL has so much work to do as it's seen as the most homophobic and least welcoming of all professional sporting leagues. I've been enjoying reading professional athletes reacting to the TV show and comparing it with their sport and experiences. I have to believe the kind of focus and pressure that shows like Heated Rivalry can bring to bear can only speeds the pace of change.

Then scratch away!!

Back in the 80' s Dayton ohio had a very active and busy bathhouse. Two stories, orgy room, sauna. No pool. I forget if there was steam room. Very very hot.

😉

My first was Pleasuredrome in London 1998. Entered as a nervous virgin and left leaking.

Bussy ??? It's not like I haven't "been around" - but I've never even heard that before. So, I asked Der Googler, and presto - Mr. AI has heard of it: "Bussy" is a slang, often vulgar, term primarily used in the LGBTQ+ community to refer to a male's anus, acting as a portmanteau of "boy" and "pussy". And fortunately, there was no guide to pronunciation.

That’s very sweet for you to say. Much appreciated.

Really sorry to know that ... but, you persevered and figured out a way to become the man you were born to be. Given other hindrances in your life, that's one helluva accomplishment!!! Creating one's own "chance" may be tough, but you're the proof it can happen.

That's an interesting twist !! Is she aware that you're at least "gay-aware"? Hopefully, she's not only aware, but encouraging your m2m lusts. In any case, it's hardly a surprise that once you've had a taste of what you most crave, you're anxiously awaiting the chance to get more, and then more and more, and then moreandmoreandmore. That's a completely normal reaction to progress from imagining to actually partaking, and at some point you'll get it all sorted.
