You're in San Francisco and can't find anyone to fuck you bareback? Yeah, you're not trying hard enough. Just go to Steamworks in Berkeley and lay on your belly with no condoms in the room... You've got a hot body - you'll get all sorts of guys cumming in your ass. Now, if you're looking for someone special to be the first one to breed you, and you make a huge deal of it, I can see where it could be a little difficult. Better to just find the special guy and not discuss anything and just sit on his raw dick - no questions, no condoms. Once he knows you want it raw he won't use a condom...

SFAlex - Looks like I missed your first post there. Sorry about that... Welcome to Breeding Zone!

Saturday I fucked this sub bottom. Flogged him, fucked him (videotaped both), then spent a while with him practically worshiping my body - massaging it, playing with my cock - felt great to just be kept so hard for so long...

cumpupt - Looks like this was your first post (of 9 in your first few hours) - Welcome to Breeding Zone and thanks for all the participation (already)...

Admin Note: A bit of disclosure - PozBear is a friend of mine. (Welcome to Breeding Zone PozBear!) I asked him to post his thoughts 'cause more than once we've discussed how my promotion of bareback porn glamorizes being poz, and the silence of poz men about their day to day lives leaves people who are considering becoming poz with a lopsided picture of what life will be like... They see all the great sex, but don't understand all the other hassles and complications. I thought this thread would be a great opportunity for a little bit of balance. To an American that seems odd - we're always told the Canadian health care system covers everything. Does it not cover drugs? So you get all your tests, doctor visits and hospital stays for free, but they won't give you the drugs to keep you healthy and out of the hospital? Does that lead to guys taking the less expensive cocktails - the ones that aren't as modern and cause physical side-effects like facial wasting? Are a lot of Canadian poz guys like you and just don't take meds? How much would your meds cost you if you did take them? I haven't seen anything but New York City's way of doing things and from what I hear we have one of the more compassionate systems. Here if you make a small enough amount of money (and don't have a lot of assets) then everything is pretty much covered for you, including high quality, modern cocktails. BUT the issue is you can't make much money (which goes to your points below). But as you make more money you're probably covered by private insurance which would also cover good, modern cocktails. But people who are self-employed / freelancing who have some assets are stuck in a situation like yours. Decent health insurance (including a prescription plan) for an individual costs about $800-$1000/month (or you can get crappy insurance for $350/mo through an organization of freelancers). Oddly, if you start a business and have at least two people on health insurance you can cover two people for the same $800-$1000. That is sad, and it makes me wonder how many of the guys on Bareback That Hole (which is filmed largely in Toronto) fit your description of guys trapped on disability. Do other Canadian cities have better disability systems or is the system mandated by your federal government? In the US our federal government gives a lot of funding to welfare, but doesn't completely fund it. That leaves local and state governments able to change things to suit local situations. It also means gay men who are poz can move to a city (SF, NYC, etc.) that has a disability system that takes proper care of them. I always feel a little weird when I see young poz guys in NYC going on disability, but at least the safety net exists and the guys are allowed to work while getting their disability benefits and there's a path to get off disability to have a career, retirement savings, etc.

On another forum a bunch of gay webmasters are debating the difference between a STUD and a HUNK. What do you guys think the difference is?

Hey Waffles7... Welcome to Breeding Zone!

Finally got my blog post up about this scene... Check it out - tons more pics and a preview video... Top Explores His Sub Side & Gets Bred

See, that's the sorta input I think is really helpful (as opposed to the guy who got banned)... Non-judgmental, personal, and honest... I really do think neg guys who are considering becoming poz need to hear more stuff like that. Poz guys are largely silent about their lives. If they were just more open about the little stuff I think it would change people's perceptions - and not so much in a bad way. Despite what people think of me I really don't think barebacking is right for everyone. The ones on the fence need to hear the honest truth. Only poz guys can really give those details... It's not something I can do for them - I can just provide the platform for them to talk about their lives...

There was a user here who just sorta didn't fit in. His posts were a bit preachy and adversarial - definitely out of step with everyone else on the site. Whenever I saw he had posted, I'd groan wondering what he'd said now. I really don't mind different, contrary perspectives, but they have to be presented in a logical, respectful manner. His weren't. To be clear, I'm all for difficult discussions - whether that be STDs, or the difficulties of being poz. In fact I'd love to see more poz guys talk about the hassles of being poz. I've got friends who spend weeks in the hospital and I suspect it's 'cause of complications related to HIV, but not sure... I really wish poz guys would discuss that side of being poz more. That's the stuff bug chasers need to hear to really make an informed decision. Anyway, the member in question asked me to delete his account and go surgically through the threads he'd participated in and delete posts that didn't create holes in the discussion. That was too much work, so I just banned him. Banning him is less permanent. If he wants to come back and participate in a civil manner, he's welcome and he'll be reinstated. The vast majority of you are great and you guys have really created a wonderfully supportive community here with your input. As that grows just know I'll be on top of it and people who are disruptive will be given a chance, and then either have their access limited to non-controversial parts of the site or they'll be banned completely.

If you're a top in NYC and a top and want to be in a Treasure Island video I see there's sort of an open call for tops in the party listings on BarebackRT. The party this Saturday listed by "MaxBareback" is for Treasure Island... MaxBareback = Max Sohl - the TIM producer in NYC. Tell Max you heard about it from rawTOP.

Hey raw&anon - I see that's you're first post. Welcome to Breeding Zone. Love how you're giving/taking loads...

Hey guys - I'll be in San Diego in mid-October for a conference. I'll be looking for guys to fuck. Can do lunchtime pump-and-dumps for guys who want a quick load and then get back to work. Evening fucks also work. I'll be at a hotel near the convention center. Can also go for drinks, but it needs to be close since I won't have a car. If you want my load, let me know.

Hey RochMixMan - I see that's your first post... Welcome to Breeding Zone!

Since I've got friends who produce porn, I'm obviously a little biased against the "file sharing" ("torrent") sites that offer full porn videos for free. I know first hand it takes a fair amount of work to produce porn, and it's a business - a business that brings a lot of people pleasure. And porn producers often don't make a lot of money producing porn. When you make their videos available for free to others it discourages little guys who create quality amateur porn from continuing in the business and all your left with are the big companies with big pockets - and even some of them are having problem (industry veteran Colt is in bankruptcy right now). All of that 'cause your too cheap to pay $20 or $30 a month to join a site that would give you sites access to hundreds of videos you could download legally... Anyway, porn producers are a bit pissed and different ones are dealing with it in different ways. Titan is going after illegal tube sites - suing the owners for millions of dollars. But now Lucas Entertainment is going after the users of the torrent sites. They've filed suit against a bunch of John Doe uploaders. The suit will give them access to records which will let them figure out who the John Doe uploaders are, at which point they'll sue the guys probably for millions of dollars each. Read more about it here: http://www.xbiz.com/news/123927 The lawsuits are big money because the law lets the copyright holder get a big chunk of money for each download - even if the download didn't complete and the downloader didn't view the video. In other words, if you upload to a torrent site it could be cheaper to buy the DVD for each of the thousands of people who download what you upload. It could bankrupt you. Like the record companies this could backfire because the biggest offenders are often the biggest fans - we'll have to see how it plays out. But next time you think of uploading to a torrent site - think twice... It's probably not worth it. Just pay the $20-30/mo for a membership site. Enjoy it, and don't share...

Hey boy. Glad to see you followed my orders and did the post. Welcome to Breeding Zone. Potential masters - this slave has shown me his pics. If you like white guys chances are you'll like him.

Right around the time bareback.com did some updates that made using the site frustratingly difficult, barebackrt.com started achieving critical mass and had a far better interface. bareback.com could have held onto their dominance if they hadn't fucked up their interface. It was just a matter of barebackrt.com being ready and able when their major competitor crashed. Here's the chonology... November 2007 Bareback.com's new interface sucked Bareback.com's customer service was horrible December 2007 BarebackRT reaches critical mass with a good interface Timing is everything in life and business...

Well, it seems to have only lasted a month... Here's the email I just got from the guy running the site... It's expensive to get a hookup site up and running. There's a reason why I support BBRT - it's up, established and pretty damn good. Really if you're going to compete with it you have to do a bigger and more impressive job. It's the reason why I haven't tried to compete with BBRT...

The other day I saw activity on a member here who I know died. It felt like seeing a ghost. I assume it was just his boyfriend browsing the site with auto-login enabled. Still, sorta sent chills down my spine.

You should also think in terms of events. A bud of mine swears that he gets more loads at IML than any other time of the year... Maybe he'll chime in on this thread - he's RawBttmTO on here - - he goes all over the US doing sex tourism...

As administrator I can do and see things other people can't. When I'm on your blog post I see a icon next to the tags when you hover your mouse in that area. Clicking on it lets you add and delete tags. If you (as the author of the blog) hover in that area you probably have the same option. However, I can't edit categories - not sure if you can. I also can't edit the blog post itself. As administrator I can delete it, but can't edit the contents of it. That's unlike forum posts which I have total control over.

Honestly, I don't know - I've never posted a blog other than a quick test which I deleted. I do know tags are a pain in the ass on the forum part. Unless you specify them when you do the original post, you can't add them later and I don't think you can edit them. Not sure how the blog part works exactly...

I know in your recent scene on Bareback Place you bottomed. How much does bottoming attract you? And do you think you suck guys off to give an outlet for your bottom side? What's holding you from bottoming more and taking more loads in your ass? I know some guys just prefer oral 'cause they like the taste of cum. What is it about cum that turns you on - taking the load or the taste? Do you have a preference for oral loads or loads up your ass? Why one over the other? Personally, I like the taste of cum, but it's far from an obsession. Most of the time I don't even want the bottom to cum, and half the time when the do cum I don't even bother to taste it. But there are times when I do really like getting a load in my mouth and savoring the flavor.

Very fuckable. I'd seed you if I were closer!

Hey Terrence - I see that's your first post. Welcome to Breeding Zone!
