He may be in one of those areas with "abstinence only" sex ed. The teen pregnancy rates in those areas are through the roof.

Sounds like fun. Too bad you didn't test your limits in the sling. I suspect you can take more than you think you can... One of these days you'll try it and find out

Now that you know your role you need to understand it's not your place to say whether a top uses a condom...

I've updated the forum URL with Forum Runner. I'm not sure yet what effect that will have. You may need to delete the old Breeding Zone and set up the new one in Forum Runner. Because the URL changed they may treat it as a new forum - but I hope not.

We've found one issue... Not sure how to deal with it... People who have put in their Skype IDs (and possibly other IM chat client IDs). When the page displays their name, etc. it shows whether they're online on those services. Those service icons don't come from secure servers so the page isn't considered 100% secure and you'll get no lock icon or a broken lock icon. This does not affect the secure nature of the text on the page - only whether you see a proper lock icon. I'll either need to figure out the ssl equivalents for those IM service icons, or disable the feature, or we'll just have to live with the broken lock icons. If you have thoughts one way or another, let me know. I'm thinking I'll just disable the feature that tells you if someone is online, etc.

The one I'm thinking is very close to the standard. Just enough difference to make it unique... Hopefully you'll like it -
Short-circuiting a lecture when getting testing
rawTOP replied to whtbbcumhole4blk's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
You're not old enough to have gone through literally dozens of these lectures. They get so tiring and they're so condescending. You start thinking not getting tested is better than having to go through that AGAIN... When the person getting tested knows the script and can tell the counselor what they'll say next the whole exercise is rather pointless. At your age maybe the lecture is warranted. At my age it's not. -
Definitely come up with one (or more) that you want voted on. Make sure they're designed for a tattoo and we'll put them in the mix when people vote.

After 2/3rd of you said you really wanted SSL encryption, I've implemented it. It's not an option - everyone now has to go through SSL. What this means is that what you read and what you type is now encrypted in transit. If you're on a public network, people can't snoop and see what you're reading/posting. If you go through a firewall (like a corporate firewall), and that firewall observes normal privacy standards (corporate firewalls may not), then the firewall will not know the nature of what you're reading/posting. So basically this is a big step forward to make sure people don't know you're a big 'ol perv I'm still cleaning up issues with the implementation. I could use your help - if you see any problems, please let me know. But first, reload the page to make sure it's not a caching issue. Essentially you should see a lock symbol somewhere in our browser window (depends on the browser you use). That lock symbol should not look broken - if it does, I need to know the particulars. Or if it's missing, that's a problem too...

Just wanted to let everyone know the site is now SSL encrypted! Please let me know if you have any problems. (I've started another thread and have closed this one).

I've been thinking... Should I/we develop an "official" biohazard symbol for tattoos, t-shirts, etc? The TIM logo is a pretty big commitment to a particular company (will you really want that in 40 years when you're old & saggy?). But for those who are poz - being poz isn't going away... So a biohazard tat can make sense. And a standard one (endorsed and promoted by Breeding Zone) that's shared by other barebackers could make sense as a form of identification... "I'm not just poz, I bareback..." I've got an idea for a biohazard symbol. I can have a designer work it up into something that's properly executed. But others could submit the designs and then we could all vote... Sound like a good idea?

Short-circuiting a lecture when getting testing
rawTOP replied to whtbbcumhole4blk's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
I've been almost rude to them in the past when they start getting preachy (depending on my mood and how feisty I was that day). When things start getting invasive look them straight in the eye (GoodExcercise is right - don't show weakness) and say "I'm just here to get tested. I know you have a job to do and have to ask certain questions, but I've been through this many times before. I've given the issue a lot of thought and I understand the risks I take. I'm comfortable with my risk level. I really don't need lectures." I've never had someone push it after that. They actually get very apologetic about the questions they're required to ask. In fact I think my chart is now noted with a "just ask the minimal questions" 'cause now when I go in they start with "I know you just want to keep this short..." Bottom line - when they push, push back. If they're really obnoxious just keep asking to end the interview - that you just want the test and nothing more. You can also exaggerate to make things absurd. Take the number and multiply by 5 or 10. So if 20 guys have fucked you, say 200... -
I'd want to tag a bottom with another top. One bottom is enough.

Well, good news... I've lined up a programmer... We'll see how he does setting up the tube site... Realistically it'll probably be middle of this month before I have it ready for some of you to quietly try out...

The name is there - it's just black on black (a CSS problem). I'll see if I can fix it.

Is "Fag Hag" Meaningless Now That Nearly All Women Are Gay Friendly?
rawTOP replied to rawTOP's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, funny I started this thread. A month or two ago when the Chic-Fil-A thing was happening my sister posted something on Facebook in support of CFA. Long story short that lead to my telling her (privately) that it's really not OK to be a bigot when your brother is gay. I questioned how she could look her brother in the face and say he's not her equal. It gets worse... She's married to a mess of a guy. At one point they told me he was 'bisexual" (but dealing with his temptations). I finally told her the way I see things her husband wasn't allowed to be who he really was. He's got serious medical issues now as a result of decades of repression. Saying their marriage (which is based on a lie of him being heterosexual) is better than my marriage is absurd. Bottom line. I'm no longer talking to my sister. Still, so many women are gay friendly - especially ones in their 20s & 30s (my sister is about 55). -
Are Black Men More At Risk Of HIV?
rawTOP replied to HolePunchSD's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
Actually, it's not... http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1824119,00.html http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/17/science/17hiv.html?_r=1 http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=35810.0 I'm moving this discussion into it's own thread... -
For a boyfriend face is most important. For a hookup the body is most important.

Let me know if you want me to come as a daddy... I'm a few months shy of your 45 y.o. cut off, but close enough

Funny you should say that - I had Jayson Park sit me down 2 weeks ago to talk about starting up a porn production company. Problem is, a standard production company is not where I want to invest the limited $$ I have - it's not where my heart is at (there's something I want more). Instead I want things to be more amateur. Fostering true amateur porn (like you're suggesting), is inline with what I want to be doing. But first things first...

I hired a company in Argentina to do the design and HTML/CSS for the tube site as well as a bunch of other sites. The designer got the design done, but the HTML/CSS person was incompetent and I fired him after a couple days (actually the designer is pretty bad too and is in the process of being fired). So now it's up to the company to find me more guys - though I get the sense they're giving up... At this rate I'll have to dive in and do the templating myself. So it would be up by now if I just had quality people to work with, but I don't (yet). Sorry about that.

Cockrings. A dick accessory or is there a real function for them?
rawTOP replied to HolePunchSD's topic in General Discussion
They are useful. Especially the leather ones since they're adjustable. As someone above stated, they slow down the flow of blood out of your dick which helps keep it hard. I'd be careful with metal ones though. They're too big when you're soft and too small when you're hard. -
Actually to answer that you need to first say whether you're talking real inches or "gay inches". When I was younger I would measure my cock with a ruler and always come up with 7 1/4", but everyone said "no, you're 8 inches", so I just started saying 8"... I think I'm borderline "hung" - I used to say my dick was "average for guys in porn". Lots of guys say I'm hung, but I think in reality I'm just a little bigger than average - but it's an attractive dick - guys do seem to give points for that (for a while there I always seemed to date guys with ugly dicks).

Those of us of a certain age were taught to go for STD checks every 3-6 months. While most of us don't go that often, there's nothing wrong with doing it...

This is a pretty good overview of where things stand on PrEP for gay men... For me the key take away is that PrEP can be 90% effective - about the same as a condom. BUT because guys taking the pills aren't actually sick, in some cases quite a few don't take their pills consistently. That leads to lower efficacy and drug resistance. I still say that for the worried well PrEP can be a good idea. But if you really just want to be a cumdump who's ass up in bathhouses most weekends that 10% that PrEP isn't effective will catch up to you and you'll become poz anyway.
