  1. You totally missed my point. Why is the neg guy not responsible? He's knowingly putting himself at risk by having high-risk sex. If he's not responsible for his own health, who is?
  2. I've scheduled some gangbangs for later this month in Tempe, AZ... Wednesday, March 28th, after work from 5pm to 7pm - two hot young poz bottoms will be taking loads. Friday, March 30th, after work from 5pm to 7pm - two or three neg bottoms will be taking all loads, no questions asked. Saturday, March 31st, mid-afternoon from 2pm to 4pm - two or three neg bottoms will be all taking loads, no questions asked. In all the gangbangs the bottoms will be asked to wear blindfolds/hoods. I listed the parties on BBRT and there hasn't been much of any response. I'm starting to think Phoenix area tops are pretty inhibited or Phoenix is a town of many bottoms and few tops. I've got plenty of bottoms wanting to be gangbanged, but not many tops. If you're a top and interested in coming, post something here and if you're on BBRT, please sign up there as well.
  3. It's a step in the right direction, but there's no sense of holding the negative partner responsible for their own health. Why shouldn't they be required to ask the question? Why is it the poz partner's responsibility?
  4. Additional parts should always go in the original thread. Otherwise they're impossible to find later. I'll merge the threads.
  5. There will be more, but it'll probably be a few weeks before it gets written. So what exactly about the story do you like the most?
  6. That's probably the best idea. The two day drive each way is a bit of a killer.
  7. No, he's not like that at all... He's got a really good heart. It's just he's been dealing with a few different unscrupulous real estate folks in Brooklyn who happen to be Jewish, and his black boyfriend just wants to play video games all day long instead of going out and doing stuff... When someone fits a stereotype he points it out - rather bluntly... And I think that's sort of the point with any discussion of racism... Think of Archie Bunker... Sweet guy, but an asshole when it comes to race/diversity. People with generally good hearts can be really stupid and do things that hurt other people when they're looking through racist lenses. Most of the time it's just a lack of education and interaction with people who are different. Then there are fetishists who love minorities, but belittle them in the process of loving them. Again, they can have good hearts and they can even mean well. None of those types are like the "haters" who are just dangerous and evil...
  8. Given that last time I went to IML I nearly got arrested because TSA classified my sex toys as weapons, I'm thinking I'll drive to IML this year. I did the drive a few years ago and it gets long and a bit boring. It's a two day drive - with stop around Cleveland/Akron. (Last time I stayed the night at Flex Cleveland but it wasn't as exciting as it sounds - sorta dead). So if I drive this year I'd be looking for one or two traveling companions. Best would be someone from NYC/NNJ, but anyone along I-80 would be good... If you pitch in a bit for gas that would be great, but it's not absolutely necessary - the gas will cost me about the same as a flight. And if you don't drive - that's OK - I'm mostly looking for someone to relieve the boredom. This year I'd probably skip Flex and do a hotel - maybe host a gangbang or something. Or maybe some pig near Cleveland/Akron wants to host - but that could be a bit awkward if the chemistry isn't right... If you're interested, contact me soon... I need to get an idea of whether we're a match to spend 25 hours together in a confined space Though that's less of an issue if you're between Cleveland and Chicago - since less time is involved...
  9. On a related note... Take a look at this article about how big business is affecting science... http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/feb/19/science-scepticism-usdomesticpolicy There's basically a war going on against science and it's funded by big business marketing departments. My contention in this whole thread has been that there's a war going on against science in the pharma business as well. The odd part is that pharma is inherently science-based, but the way they go about things these days they squash any discussion that might go against them selling more drugs and making a bigger profit. True science is about the free exchange of rational ideas. Pharma has created a dogma around ARVs by co-opting "thought leaders" in the field and putting out studies with flawed analysis. True science is out the door, in it's place is group think. My question for all of you is what does it mean for gay guys to get caught in the middle of a war on science where corporate profits, not your health, is the primary objective?
  10. No, he's racist because he's constantly saying things like "those f*cking Jews", and "lazy ass nego"... He's got Jewish/black friends but is constantly pointing out problems with the group as a whole...
  11. There are a lot of gay guys that are racists. But I'm not sure gay guys are any more racist than everyone else. I've watched my Polish contractor for a year I've seen him think a lot less of black guys. Just about everyone he hires (as a worker or subcontractor) is white or Latino (despite the fact that our place is in the middle of Harlem - one of the epicenters of all things black). Then again, I've also seen how things backfire on him when he tries to hire black guys (when people on the block were pressuring him to hire locals). One literally threw himself down a hole in order to get workman's comp. A guy from the block came into the back yard to get a big rock for a neighbor (sort of without permission) and managed to drop the rock on his finger and need to go to the hospital and get stitches. Those are the only two safety issues on the site so far (knock wood) - and both involved the few black guys who were ever on the site. And the black electrician he hired was just incompetent and had to be fired. That all may sound racist - but it's just what's happened... Then again, here I am in the middle of Harlem and so far the person on the block who seems to like me the most is an African American woman, and the person who hates me the most (as in really and truly hates my guts) is white... Oh - and my best friend at the moment is one of the biggest racists I know - and he's got a (submissive) black boyfriend... He's sorta of a race fetishist. He's gone through an Asian phase, a Latino phase, a black phase, and I think his next phase will be Middle Eastern... So I've seen how even guys who like minorities can simultaneously be racist by fetishizing them... It's all very complicated...
  12. I'm working through the details now - arranging bottoms... I've reached out to some of you. So get back to me if you want to get gangbanged. The gangbangs are tentatively scheduled for: Wednesday 3/28 from 5-7pm Friday 3/30 from 5-7pm Saturday 3/31 from 2-4pm I'm trying to match up similar bottoms - one gangbang will just have bug chasing bottoms. Maybe another will be Neg4Neg, etc.
  13. Non-fiction = real life Fiction = made up, or embellished reality, or don't want to admit to it being true
  14. As far as I know, it's not an option. Certain sections of the site are hidden from non-members, photo galleries are hidden from non-members, but the basic profile information is visible.
  15. I agree 100%. Still, I'd say, when possible, it's a good thing to think through the questions before you have to make the decisions. If you have guiding principles that are based on life experience (like my "take meds only when absolutely necessary and then in the smallest possible doses"), then the decisions you have to make in the heat of the moment with minimal research will be ones you'll generally be comfortable with after the fact.
  16. Thanks for the defense, but before you guys get in a flame war over something that's barely relevant to the thread I should probably mention that the incident i question happened maybe 50 years ago - it was sorta family legend and I can't remember if it was pneumonia or something else. The point is, the pediatrician in the family made all his kids sick by asking them to do something all the other (non-MD) parents in the family knew was a dumb idea.
  17. Why not just assume the profile text is fiction (which is often is) and reply with something like "Hey - would love to dump a poz load in you." OR just pretend you didn't see the "neg only". If you've been clear that you're poz - it's up to them to read your profile (and/or ask questions).
  18. So basically he works for the drug companies, and you think you should take his advice on when to start medications? I wouldn't trust someone like that.
  19. Tony - Doctors put poz guys on meds quickly even when they're genetically predisposed to be able to "control" HIV - they often don't even bother to check whether someone is capable of conrolling HIV. For those people the drugs are clearly worse than the disease, but they get the same one-size-fits-all therapy everyone else gets. And I do understand HIV is fatal in most cases if left untreated - it's not a lesson you forget after caring for someone who dies of AIDS. I've also made it clear many times over that I'm not advocating zero meds - there is a time and place for them. We've had this discussion and you know how to interpret what I say, even when I'm a little sloppy in choosing my words. Your situation notwithstanding, I think early and aggressive treatment will come back to haunt a lot of guys - and for them the side effects of early and aggressive will be worse than a more laissez faire treatment plan. I still say your scenario would be a worst-case scenario for me personally. I worry about you 10, 15 years down the road. But I also completely respect your choices - they were researched and well-informed. The problem is most guys just do what the guy in the white lab coat tells them to do and in many cases that's a bad thing to do.
  20. Not sure how many times I have to say this... The question is not whether to take meds, but when to take meds. You seem to think just 'cause a doctor is from Johns Hopkins that his advice should be followed. My uncle was Professor Emeritus in pediatrics at Hopkins. One year he decided it would be good for his kids to run out barefoot in the snow to get the morning paper. They all got pneumonia that year. Being from Hopkins puts you in the top tier of doctors, but it doesn't make you infallible.
  21. That scares me. Are you sure your doctor isn't actually a drug rep for one of the pharma companies? lol The problem is that poz guys have been a discriminated class for a while and now the doctors are showing they'd rather hurt a poz guy with long-term drugs (that they may not need so quickly), than risk neg guys getting pozzed (by being stupid and getting fucked raw). This sets poz guys up as being a 2nd, lower, class and not worthy of the same level of individual care and respect that neg guys get.
  22. Agreed - there is a point at which you need to take meds - and you went past that point. But taking them immediately after being pozzed, seems to early, and taking over 2 dozen pills a day seems excessive.
  23. What was the youngest guy at the party? How many of the holes did you cum in?
  24. I've been pretty vocal in another thread about my perception that doctors are giving poz guys ARVs too early and too aggressively. When you'll be on medications for 20, 40, 60+ years the long-term effects of the medications can be worse than the disease they're supposed to treat. I see Tony's situation as my nightmare scenario. I've talked to Tony in person about some of these issues and I respect his choice to make informed decisions about his health, but I personally would choose the exact opposite treatment plan if I were in his shoes. I'd delay taking meds as long as possible and then take as few as possible.
  25. Age? Stats? Are you talking about the bearish guy?
