In case people are wondering, this is how they t-shirts turned out. We did both designs. The bunkhouse was difficult to print, but the pig design printed pretty well. The pink on maroon worked really well with that design…

So here's another pig-based design… Personally I feel this pig is a stronger design than the first one. But the question I asked above was which would you wear in public, and I understand why most of you are saying the bunkhouse one. It raises fewer questions. Personally I like the pig for going out to gay bars, though I'm not sure I'd go to brunch wearing it. I think we'll probably go with the bunkhouse and this latest pig. Just do both since each can be good in different contexts.

Yes, cut off the sleeves. But those images are photoshopped. They're not real t-shirts (yet). Also, I have some fitted sizes that are smaller all over that have slightly smaller sleeves.

I wanted to come up with a #BBBH t-shirt. So my boyfriend did a couple designs. I need to know which you think is better. The first is pretty straightforward… I mean you guys can figure out the pig reference, right? And FYI – the pig was hand-drawn by my boyfriend. And another option would be to have an outline of a pig with #BBBH inside or below the pig. The next option comes from an alternate meaning for #BBBH. I was thinking if I did a #BBBH app for the iPhone, what could get past the censors at Apple? The solution was "Bareback Bunkhouse". On a tongue and cheek level we could tell Apple it was "an app for cowboys who like to ride bareback". And then in the app you could specify things like "prefer top bunk", "prefer bottom bunk". And of course bunkhouses come with the whole "sleeping with" connotation. So what I need to know from you guys is which you would be more likely to wear in public? Not just out to a gay bar, but to the grocery store, to dinner at a casual restaurant, etc.?

The short version of what BearBandit said is that only one of you has to be on ARVs for there to be no risk of infection. Since you're on them you needn't worry so much as to whether he's on them.

Ever since the site went up on different software last year it's been impossible for members to grant themselves permission to see the HIV Fetish and Chem Sex sections because a feature of the software running the site just didn't work properly. I just spent a couple hours trying to figure out how the settings are stored and it's not simple to access. If I put in a solution I wouldn't trust it. SO, I'm reopening those sections to all members. At some point probably this summer I'll be upgrading the site to a new version of the software. If I can get things working at that point, then I'll go back to a system where you have to self-permission yourself to see the section. If you don't want to see anything HIV Fetish or Chem Sex related – give me a week or so and I should have a self-service feature for you that will let you set that preference yourself.

wood - I agree - cost is definitely an issue. Too bad it's not generic yet. But the video brought up that Australia took 10 years to approve rapid HIV testing. So it would seem that Australia just has issues when it comes to stuff like this.

PrEP has not been approved in Australia and a really powerful video was put on YouTube with poz guys saying how important it is. Several of them said "if PrEP were available previously, I wouldn't be poz now". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1cM5ysQriM

Hey guys! I've just been made a co-sponsor of the SeXXXy MF dance party Sunday, June 28th – over Pride weekend here in NYC. It's being organized by Cade – the guy who runs all the CumUnion, Milk Chocolate, etc. parties here in NY. The main sponsor is GayHotMovies.com so there will be porn giveaways and plenty of porn stars in attendance. Between Cade's crowd and the porn crowd it should be a really sexually-charged event! I wasn't allowed to sponsor under the name rawTOP or Breeding Zone since the club is already paranoid about the dance party being seen as a sex party, so the best I could manage was doing a #BBBH promo. And to that end - the first 50 guys who sign up under #BBBH get free t-shirts (see below for details). Unfortunately, sex isn't allowed at the dance party due to NY's laws about alcohol and sex, but there will be a sex party immediately after where you can fuck to your heart's content. There are two package deals – one for $40 and one for $100. Just realize that when you go to the page to buy tickets the $40 one will be listed at $60 - but if you enter a promo code of #BBBH you'll get $20 off. The $100 gives you access to 4 additional sex parties including the two best sex parties over Pride weekend. Here's a rundown of all the different sex parties that are included: Thurs, June 11th - MilkChocolate @ Paddles Thurs, June 18th - MilkChocolate @ Paddles Tues, June 23rd - CumUnion / Astoria ($100 combo package only) Thurs, June 25th - CumUnion @ Paddles Fri, June 26th - CumUnion @ Paddles ($100 combo package only) Sat, June 27th - CumUnion @ Paddles ($100 combo package only) Sun, June 28th - CumUnion After Party Tues, June 30th - Latin Leche / Astoria ($100 combo package only) And as far as the t-shirts, you can have your t-shirt with one of 4 logos: rawTOP, #BBBH, Breeding Zone or Raunchy Fuckers. They'll be more or less made-to-order by yours truly. But remember, that only happens if you sign up under the #BBBH ticket option. So buy your tickets now to get the maximum number of free sex parties out of the deal!

The thing I liked about Cialis was that it lasted for a few days. So if your trick didn't show up, it would still work for another trick the next day. That, and Viagra gave me weird headaches and shit. I'll call my doc and see if he can prescribe Levitra. I haven't tried that yet. But I don't know how long in advance I should take it. Guess I could experiment before sex parties since they go on for a while.

Suddenly, a couple months ago, the price of Cialis went through the roof. It's now around $40/pill. WTF? (the screenshot below is for 10 pills @ 20mg) I can only imagine that sales must have plummeted since then. What in the hell is the manufacturer thinking pricing it so high? I mean even if you split the 20mg pill in two - that's still $20 per dose. It needs to be more like $5/dose (or less). Does anyone have recommendations on where real Cialis can be gotten at a reasonable price? Maybe a Canadian pharmacy? I don't quite trust random, online pharmacies. So I'd like to know who people use and trust.

Today is Breeding Zone's 5th birthday. So I thought I'd give a rundown of how things have gone so far… As you can see the growth of Breeding Zone has been pretty steady over the years. The spike is a reporting error that happened when the site was migrated to different software and the URL changed from BreedingZone.com to Breeding.Zone. But once Google figured out the change the growth continued as if nothing happened. And here are the overall numbers… 3.6 million guys (plus a few women) have come to Breeding Zone over the years. And the best part is that people spend time here when they come here. An average duration of nearly 10 minutes is incredible. When you do the math over 164 years of people's lives have been spent looking at this site. That's like 2 lifetimes! Anyway, you guys are the reason why this site is so great - so THANK YOU! And yes, I will be working to make the site better in the coming months. So stay tuned.

This is just incredibly sad… http://wabe.org/post/half-atlantas-newly-diagnosed-hiv-patients-have-aids-grady-testing-finds Basically 1/3rd of the people who test positive in Atlanta are catching it so late they've already progressed to AIDS. And the number goes up to half when the tests are truly random / the person didn't go looking specifically to get tested (e.g. in an emergency room when they're there for some other reason). That's HORRIBLE. HIV isn't all that scary IF you catch it quickly, but once you let it progress to AIDS your prognosis is far worse. Never ever go more than two years without an HIV test, and try to do it more frequently than that. And if you think the Republicans aren't killing people – think again. Georgia is a pretty red state. This is what happens when conservative values take over.

This is interesting… http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/herpes-pill-might-control-hiv-n323126

A new study re-analyzed old data and debunked the widespread thinking that you're most infectious right after infected yourself… http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1001803 However, the question in my mind is – don't viral loads spike right after infection? Is this saying that higher viral loads don't make you more infectious?

I'm hosting a party tonight from 9 to 10:30 in Central Harlem (near the 2/3 & A/B/C/D). Looking for more tops and vers tops. Sorry, no bottoms. If you're interested, send me an email - rawtop@breeding.zone - include pics and stats.

Just thought I'd let you guys know that there's a huge sale coming to rawTOP.tv… The Twelve Cumdumps Of Christmas starts Christmas Day and goes through The Feast of The Epiphany on January 6th. Yes, that's 13 days and hence 13 cumdumps – don't ask me how that makes sense – ask a Christian… Anyway, during the sale ALL DVD downloads will be just $9.95 and if you download ones that have the featured cumdump that day, they will just cost $4.95. That's a crazy low price – so plan now! If I bought porn (I don't 'cause I sort of have too much of in my life as it is), I'd stock up for the year… Here's the list of what cumdumps will be on what days… Thu 12/25 – Dawson Fri 12/26 – Armond Rizzo (aka Joey Rodriguez) Sat 12/27 – Drew Sumrok Sun 12/28 – Marco Cruise Mon 12/29 – Dominik Rider Tue 12/30 – Jarod Steel Wed 12/31 – Jeff Palmer Thu 1/1 – Sean Storm Fri 1/2 – Jayson Park (aka Parker Boyd) Sat 1/3 – Draven Torres Sun 1/4 – Ian Jay Mon 1/5 – Blue Bailey Tue 1/6 – Christian Anyway, that's your heads up. There will be more details on my porn blog on Christmas Day.

Just to let you guys know… I'm about to start on development for a proper Cumdump Network site. The URL will be: https://cumdump.network The old URL (cumdumpnetwork.com) will redirect that the one above. (The .com URL was a bit too long.) During development I'll be taking some of the data that you've posted here to use as sample data so I have something to work with. Assuming you want to get chosen you must have put at least a zip code. An intersection near you is even better. None of that guarantees that you'll have your info chosen, but it will make it more likely. If your data is used, you'll be guaranteed that you can use your current user name on the new sites I'm building. (I'm not making that guarantee for all BZ users – at least not at this point). It'll take a couple months before I'll launch the site since just about everything is being coded by hand, and I'll be doing it in a way so what I build can be reused on the other hookup sites that I'll be working on.

You got one warning that just amounted a a slap on the wrist (other than the one I gave you last year). If you want me to see your point you need to be more precise about how exactly the moderators are moderating differently than I would moderate. Even I wasn't consistent - a lot depended on my mood.

???? Firefox is what I use. I use v33.1 as my main browser, and v35a as a development browser. I haven't seen any significant problems with FF.

One that didn't get mentioned here is rawTOP.tv. It's got content from most of the major bareback studios. Most recently stuff from Eric Videos is starting to go up. There are monthly plans as low as $9.95 or you can join for free and do cheap (legal) DVD downloads.

FYI - I've disabled groups completely. They weren't working since the migration. If I figure out how to fix them then I'll bring them back.

Once again, I've been really bad about taking care of this site. So… I've upgraded EvilQueerPig, BearBandit, DrScorpio and JizzDumpWI to moderator status. I'll be in touch with you guys shortly. Bear4Breeding – your past infractions were pretty serious, so I won't be using you as a moderator (but thanks for the offer). rtpbbcub - thanks, but since I had the option of guys who were more active on the site, I'm going with them.

I'll be in touch with you guys early next week. I wrote a bunch of documentation for you, but I'm not done with it yet. There's some other stuff I have get done this weekend that's higher priority.

I used to live in the 2nd building outside the park on Ft Washington Ave. It was fun, but every time I went I risked being seen by my neighbors, so I didn't go very often. However, my impression was that it was more fun for bottoms than tops. There are a lot of Dominican straight guys who go there when they can't find pussy to fuck. It was often hard to find a bottom who wanted to get fucked - especially raw.
