  1. Well, I just permanently banned someone I think was mentally ill - their posts were bizarre and not based in any sense of reality. Posting while you're so high you're bouncing off the walls will probably also get you banned. Repeatedly posting in the wrong area will get you banned. Posting about bug chasing, gift giving or chem sex in a public part of the site will get you temporarily banned. To me it's all sorta common sense sorta stuff.
  2. That would get CumUnion in trouble with the local health departments - so unlikely to ever happen.
  3. They were mailed to the CumUnion organizers this week. Should be arriving about now. That means they should be available at next week's parties. A couple of you have asked for wristbands, but can't make it to a CumUnion party. There are a few options... 1) Meet up in NYC (free) 2) Have it mailed to you ($2 for the first two, plus 50 cents each additional) Contact me if you want to get one via one of those methods.
  4. I had been getting hardons and the like but didn't really think in terms of sex with other people until one time when I was shopping with my family. We were in the women's clothing section (between my mom and my 4 sisters we spent a lot of time shopping for women's clothes). Anyway I was bored and noticed there was a magazine in one of the bins of clothes. It was Playgirl's Men Of Europe. I made sure no one was looking and opened it up and took a look. The dicks looked really weird to me since they were uncut. But it was the first time I really thought about sex with a guy. I felt a really intense attraction to the guys in there which as I processed it all later made me realize I was gay - though I didn't act on it for many years. I wanted to take the magazine home but couldn't figure out how to smuggle it out of the store. Later I realized I might have been able to stick it down the back of my pants under my shirt - in the small of my back. But that would have been pretty risky. Can't imagine what would have happened if I had gotten caught or if my parents had found it at home. [Later they found my doodles of hard cocks - that was embarrassing enough]. I looked it up and Playgirl's Men of Europe was published in 1982. So I would have been 14 when all this happened.
  5. What to folks think the CumUnion NYC party will be like this weekend? I mean it's a big holiday when a lot of people go out of town, and a lot of pigs are in Chicago for IML. I was planning on doing something else that day, but with the rain I won't be able to do what I was planning, so I'm thinking I might go to CumUnion and have some fun being a slut.
  6. If you can't tell who the other guy is, then it's deniable if he asks if it's him... You should post some of those videos provided the top can't be identified in them.
  7. I had a fissure for about 20 years that would keep coming back on me. Finally last year I went to see a colo-rectal surgeon and she managed to fix it by having me apply a cream 2 or 3 times a day. They take a high blood pressure medicine and compound it into a cream. The medicine gets your sphincter to relax. Relaxation is what is needed to heal fissures. That medicine has about a 65% cure rate - it worked for me and my fissure was very old and deep. Mind you I had to apply the cream longer than most people do - but the point is, it can work even on bad fissures. If that doesn't work then the next option is Botox injections into the sphincter. Botox numbs things and forces your sphincter to relax. However, if Botox doesn't work, then you'll need surgery. But before you do any of that - take lots of fiber. You can get Metamucil in powder form or buy the same stuff in capsules. Given your condition I'd take close to the max amount recommended on the bottle. Basically the fiber insures that what comes out doesn't irritate your ass too much.
  8. The wrist bands have arrived... I'll mail them to the CumUnion organizers this week. They should start being available at CumUnion parties a week or so later - possibly even sooner.
  9. As the song says "if you love something, let it go..." The scenario you describe sounds like the beginning of a breakup. I know you technically have an open relationship, but you're not acting like it and monogamy/jealousy can break up relationships like nothing else. It's not just the "cheating" - the flip side of the coin is that insecurity isn't sexy. People don't like being around it so they move onto something better.
  10. You can edit your profile through "Settings" or "My Profile" in the upper right hand corner. They work slightly differently. Let us know if you can't figure it out.
  11. For those of you who are wondering what emb is talking about, I started PrEP (i.e. taking HIV meds when you're neg to avoid becoming poz). You can find the details about my decison to go on PrEP on my blog... To answer emb's question - it's been uneventful. There was one brief moment when I had some nausea, but don't know that it was caused by the Truvada. I have been taking more sexual risks - going to sex parties and doing stuff I didn't used to do. I like the fact that I have the additional layer of protection since it sort of balances the additional risk. It's fun to be a slut and I'd probably do most of it anyway, even without PrEP, but it's nice to know I probably won't become poz in the process. The new lower level of risk has made me think about pushing the limits at next year's MAL - hosting parties where guys share loads - dumping cum out of one guy's ass into a condom and then putting the contents of the condom up some other guy's ass. That's a scenario where even tops can take loads - and lots of them. I had sort of come to peace with the idea of becoming poz before I went on PrEP, but then when I re-evaluated PrEP and saw it wasn't so bad, I figured why not stay neg? At the same time my desire to stay neg isn't so strong that I'll curb my sexual experimentation...
  12. I've heard that one of the owners/producers at one of the well-known condom studios - someone who publicly berates bareback porn for being dangerous, etc. - has actually intentionally pozzed guys before. I tend to believe the source, but don't have enough facts to actually name names.
  13. A bullet proof vest is considered protection even though you can get shot in the head or through an arm hole and die. Never said the risk was zero, and I'm fine with becoming poz if it happens, but would prefer to stay neg - just don't prefer it enough to give up risky sex completely.
  14. I've always wondered what it takes. @MindtripLITR posted on Twitter that his favorite LA cumhole had taken 47 loads in 3 hours - that's a load every 3.8 minutes. When I've organized gangbangs the best I've done is when a bottom will take say 15 loads in 3 hours - and even that is hard to accomplish. I'd love to know what it takes to organize something where a bottom can get lots of loads.
  15. So how does it work when CumUnion is at a bathhouse? Is the CumUnion party just in one area or does it spread all over the place? Do guys who are attending the party get rooms? Can the regular bathhouse patrons go into the designated CumUnion area (assuming there is one)?
  16. He's gay, not just gay-friendly. Not sure about him and bareback. I mentioned that I do and he didn't lecture me about it. But at the same time I was asking to go on PrEP - so maybe he's OK with it in that context.
  17. That's pretty much never going to happen. It would disrupt the flow of the conversation in many cases - essentially creating holes in the conversations. When the site was starting I was just happy if someone signed up. And to a point that's still the case. We have critical mass for what the site is, but not to turn the site into say a hookup site (just not enough people in any particular area). So yes, I would love it if people would say more in their profile, but that's difficult to force on people.
  18. My best friend is looking at houses in the Pines. Hopefully he'll buy one, but he's looked at so many houses in so many places I'm starting to think he'll never buy anything.
  19. As I understand it there are two types of tests. The standard looks for antibodies to HIV. So if you're undetectable you still have antibodies and will show up as poz. The only unexpected thing with those tests is that people who have been in HIV vaccine trials may test positive even when they're neg because their bodies have created antibodies in reaction to the vaccine. The other test is an RNA test. If I understand that test correctly it's actually looking for the virus, not the antibodies. In that case someone who is undetectable might test neg. Not 100% sure about that though.
  20. Wrong analogy... Now lets say he left his wallet at a bar. When he goes back for it he finds $20 missing. Yeah, the person stole, but I'd say the thief was being incredibly kind by leaving all his IDs. I'd say that is roughly the equivalent of a undetectable or confidently neg top blowing a load in a safe sex bottom who's bent over in a dark room. The person who steals the entire wallet and then uses the IDs for identity theft would be equivalent to a poz top with a high viral load blowing a load in the bottom. In the end an undetectable or neg top is actually doing the guy a favor. He'll discover cum in his ass, freak out, and figure out that bending over in a dark room is a bad idea. OR, he'll jack off to the idea and go back and start bug chasing... Either way I don't see a problem if the top can't infect the bottom.
  21. Just so you know... A new version of the forum software was just released. We'll probably upgrade in a month or two. Apparently the new software requires that Javascript be turned on. So your problems with this site will only get worse after the upgrade (apparently). It's 2013 & Javascript is as important to the web experience as HTML...
  22. I gotta say I agree. A safe sex top can go into a dark room and pull out a rubber. And a safe sex bottom can go into a dark room and suck dick. But a safe sex bottom who throws his legs in the air or bends over a fuck bench in a dark room is just being incredibly stupid. They need to find a more appropriate place to get fucked. There is one exception to that - if the context of the dark room is a safe sex party. But if there's considerable barebacking going on, then the bottom should not be getting fucked in a dark room.
  23. There's a great article in POZ this month - I urge all of you to read it (the reader is a bit irritating, but it's worth the effort)... http://issuu.com/smartandstrong/docs/poz_hiv_aids_0188/32 Basically the author goes through all the different ways we're divided as a community. Neg guys think less of poz guys because they should have been more careful, etc. Poz guys think neg guys are holier-than-thou assholes. Neg and poz guys think guys who've recently gotten pozzed were foolish and irresponsible. Some poz and neg guys think barebackers are evil - spreading death and disease. Others think guys on PrEP are sluts who are cheating the system somehow. Very few respect our elders who often still suffer from serious HIV-related conditions. And so on... So do you agree with him? Is stigma as big of a problem as he says? I live in a bit of a bubble. I'm in NYC, have lots of poz friends, I'm part of the bareback community, etc. The majority of people around me are pretty accepting. And in general I think barebackers are some of the most accepting people you'll find. But HIV still scares my boyfriend. My best friend (who's poz) can't stand the thought that HIV is running around his body - he feels unclean and dirty (in his case he's a victim of his own stigma). And at the porn conference a few months ago he heard neg bareback porn stars talking negatively about the poz size of bareback porn. So stigma exists even in the "good places" - I'm sure it gets worse when you get outside of the big cities. What's your experience been with stigma? And by that I'm talking about the way gay guys stigmatize each other - not so much about how the straight world stigmatizes us - that's another discussion completely. [And if you're wondering why this is under the Sexual Health Section - it's because I wanted to put it in a place where it wouldn't get lost and it would classify as a mental health issue...]
  24. The negative effects of drug use can be discussed outside the sub-forum specified for discussion of PNP. Your mention of triggers for recovering addicts is a good way to define what's allowed outside the sub-forum and what's not. A discussion that reinforces their decision to stay sober is always OK.
