They're still around, and a number of them subscribe to some pretty twisted and Nazi-like temperaments or espousing 14/88 bullshit. If you're going to be a cumdump for any cock, you're probably not asking about their politics and proclivities. You don't see MAGA caps in a dark room. 🤣

You're right. Not every Republican IS that way. I know I'm not. Never have I supported racism, hatred, homophobia or white supremacy, and I certainly support the LGBTQIA+ alphabet community to an exceptionally large extent. If you're mentioning a study, I'd love to see a link to it and who produced it to understand the background and any potential biases. Frankly, most conservatives I know wouldn't support any of what you say they're predisposed to. And it sounds on the surface as if it's saying something like "all Asians are shitty drivers" or some similarly ignorant observation. As with everything, some are and some aren't. Not every conservative abides by Trump. A lot of us arrive at conclusions through thought, observation, and careful evaluation. "I used to be a liberal. Then I stopped watching TV."

Thanks. I don't think we are actually that far off in our thinking. I'm cautious to avoid a brush-stroke so broad as to suggest that, say, 'all Republicans espouse incompatible ideologies' or that they all 'sincerely wish us harm'. I've been around here for a little while now. I'm not a liberal in the least. I'm Libertarian and best described as "fiscal conservative/social libertarian". I thoroughly believe in free-speech, Second Amendment, and civil liberties. Yes I'm armed, perhaps heavily, as a result of personal experiences and what we've seen in "defund the police" and the rise in violent crime since 2020. I don't believe in the least that I wish anyone harm or am intolerant of their rights or views, despite many of them saying they'd be intolerant of mine. I'm not going to lend credence to many of the more hate-filled comments, but I've found much more acceptance in conservative circles than in those who aren't. Your mileage may vary. Do I like either Biden OR Trump? Nope. If I had to choose based on what is better for our country just seeing the past 17 or so months, I'm less thrilled with Biden than I was in 2020 and I wasn't keen in him then. I'd prefer a mean tweet over economic disaster and foreign policy failings, but that's just me, but I do not want Trump back. You and I have had our own disagreements, but at the end of the day, we agree that we can disagree civilly. I think that's a distinction that is often lost when someone in an LGBTQIA+ group diverts from progressive views to think that they agree with any violence against the community. Pretty sure you'll find that an overwhelming majority of those people support and defend your rights and will stand shoulder to shoulder to support your rights to even disagree with me/us. 😃

Thanks for saying this. Last I understood, it's not a requirement that someone be a liberal/socialist/leftist in order to be a member of the LGBTQ+ community, yet whenever I look around, I read and see a cacophony of sycophants promoting a single view. What happened to being a tolerant and inclusive community that accepts everyone regardless of their personal views or experience? Can people not have differing political and worldviews and still be able to get along, or will the divisiveness just keep being perpetuated?

Get him to indicate it's for enlarged prostate. The insurance company will generally cover it under that, but... SingleCare and GoodRX will bring down the price of the generics sufficiently that you might not need to hassle with your insurance. Before my current insurance kicked in, my pricing ended up being under $40/month.

Stories often have plot devices, even ones where the goal (especially in porn) is just to get to the action we're supposed to see (e.g fucking). We're not actually supposed to believe that the housewife fucks the plumber or daddy does his step-daughter. Is it hot? Oh yeah. Is it the stuff of horny fantasies? Sure. Is it credible? We all know it's not and it falls into the plot premise designed to draw the viewer in. I could care less what the plot device is that gets the two people into some really hot sex, but if the actors are gorgeous...yeah, it'll keep me interested.

A couple questions: Does he know you're gay? I would think by now this would have come out or he's more than gotten the hint with things like "you're cute". Is he possibly waiting for you to decide on the direction you'd like things to lead? The way you've described it, there's sexual tension there that you could cut with a knife edge. Perhaps we're all living a bit vicariously through this novela but perhaps he sees you as an escape from the 'straight' life he otherwise has and is seeking validation or an outlet for his feelings. When he hugged you and rubbed your back, did he give off any vibe that there was something more than platonic there? Did he get aroused? Don't know what sort of situation he has with his wife but he seems to be spending considerable time sleeping with you in his office rather than...well, her. Strikes me that he wants things to lead somewhere but might be struggling with his feelings about sexuality and why this feels the way it does for him.

Thanks for this. It's not necessarily a common side-effect, but you're right that any vasodilator needs to be carefully monitored. That's among the reasons I wouldn't be able to do Viagra since the impacts of that are more pronounced. Nonetheless, I've been on Nexium for years as well, so these can fall under the category of "your mileage may vary".

A few comments: You're correct in that day usage is a 5mg dosage, and generally you can occasionally increase it (though daily is not ideal). You need to build up the 5mg dosage for it to have the desired effect. Did the doctor prescribe this, or did you source this outside normal medical channels? I see that you ordered this from India, so not sure if they just sent without prescription. Not judging, just curious. How old are these? Medications can lose efficacy over time as the elements can break down so if you're taking something that's a few years old, it may not have the 'optimal effect' (boner lasting about 4 hours). You might want to speak to your doc and request the daily regimen and also have him work the single dosages into this for those occasions when you know you'll want to get hard and stay hard. Not sure I'd want to fool around with something that's a couple years old, which it sounds as if it may be since you discovered TriMix. Also, is it possible that TriMix has ended up causing your response to Cialis to diminish. Something you probably should explore with your doc.

Yeah, don't know that one. I'm using for a secondary indication in conjunction with a prostate medication, has this great bonus effect as well. 😉 But I didn't need to get it for any ED indications (knock wood, pardon the pun).

Sounds like there could be a few things at play here, pardon the pun. Cialis (tadalafil) doesn't have the same level of side effects or contraindications as Viagra (sildenafil), but not sure what else you've been taking or whether these are a residual effect of switching to Cialis and the Viagra not being completely out of your system perhaps. You should probably see a doctor and ensure it's not something more serious than heartburn. If it does seem like heartburn or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), Prilosec (omeprazole) and Nexium (esomeprazole) are both over the counter solutions for that without adding a lot of side effects. I do both tadalafil and Nexium. 99% of the time, I have no issues, but doing a bit too much Mexican or Indian can bring on a case of heartburn that I can track back to whatever I ate, all other things being equal. It's in those cases I'll pop a Gaviscon (or two) and that provides very immediate relief for the heartburn/indigestion. Hope that helps.

I'm trying to get the dynamic here because it sounds as if this breached what would be a purely professional relationship back when he kissed you or you both slept in the same bed. If you're seeking a mentor, there should be a bit of a personal boundary around that relationship, but the statements you've made suggest that he seems like more like a friend, or you have feelings for him that remain unresolved. I'm not going to suggest being a home wrecker here, but you seem to be getting mixed signals from your interactions and from your description he seems to be giving those off. You said you were closeted, so I wonder if your descriptions are something that you may be projecting onto him, but let's not assume that for now. It seems like you've fallen into some sort of friendship. I might ask the question of "what are we" in a way that isn't quite as off-putting. Say "if you had to describe our interaction, how would you describe it?" Then let him drive the answer and clarify. He's also given you at least one opening to probe that you may have ignored: When he complimented you on how you looked with your shirt off and he said that the girls would like that. That might give you an opening to come out to him so that he's aware that you're not into women. ("You said that the girls would like me with my shirt off, but how about the boys?") See what the outcome might be. Or you can also come right out and ask "where do you see our interaction leading". That could lead into a conversation about whether you're misreading signals (this is something I've been complete shit at too) and just want to be sure that you understand him better. I think that's non-threatening enough, and I'd certainly not be off-put by that sort of conversation. Regardless, it seems like you owe it to yourself to understand your relationship -- is it professional, or has it crossed that line -- and clarify it so that you don't hang your hat on ducking around the topic. Good luck!

North of Sarasota, just south of Tampa/St. Petersburg on the Gulf Coast. [think before following links] https://goo.gl/maps/dkW5yZxX3YjR5oqm6

Good luck man. You planning on getting together with him?

Well, actually I finally had to call Weight Watchers for my weight, and asked if they could send someone 'round. "Sure, we have plenty of those." 😂🤣 (I'll let myself out)

Potential fucker: There's 8 billion people on the planet, that's the odds of me fucking you. Clueless Idiot: So that means I still have a chance? 🤣😂 Love it. But you're right. When asked if they can go back in time what they might do, many people say they'd kill Hitler. No you wouldn't, you'd go back and buy Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, Google and Amazon stock and then just sit back and wait patiently.

If it's a hookup profile (Sniffies, Grindr, A4A, BBRT), I may ask as part of the conversation just to know what I'm getting into. Then it's my decision about how much risk I want (or how hot the guy is). But if it's an ABS or something similar and a guy offers his hole, I'll just go with it and have fun. Having said all that, I haven't used a condom in 30+ years, so I guess I'm selective since I don't often go out and rut in a random dude's ass (or just very lucky). But I'm a versatile top, so I'm not offering my hole up the same way a cum dump will...and we all appreciate cum dumps. 😃

Very interesting factoid, but I think there's a caveat within: What is the qualification for "non-HVL HIV+"? U=U? Or is there a VL range that the CDC cites with their statistic? Asking for a friend. 😃

I'm sorry to hear that experience. I was more fortunate in that mine was treatable and could heal without surgery. But it was somewhat concerning to look and see blood coming out from a bowel evacuation. The proctology practice staff, meanwhile, took the attitude of, "Oh, is that all you have?" Geez would you be happier if I evacuated my bowel and and prolapsed it in the process? (No, maybe they'd have liked being that). And I wasn't being fucked at the time or I'd probably have gone through the ceiling.

Fissures can be really annoying, and painful, without the added friction of being fucked. Sorry you went through that. And as others have said, don't feel responsible for his misrepresentations. Or bad atmosphere. Or just total cluelessness. His lack of honesty isn't your responsibility at all. Some meets just go that way. And yeah, I had a really awful meet at a hotel/motel. I went through with it, but in the future, I'd simply say that the vibe isn't doing it for you and wish him well. No one needs that.

So since you found all of that out about your birth parents, did you at some point look them up to learn more about them and perhaps meet them, if I can ask? Or did you research them without actually meeting?

Through middle-school, I grew up in a school system that abided by the adage "it was good enough for me, it's good enough for my kids". Unfortunately, it wasn't, so things like Sex Ed went by the wayside, and about all we got was a film from the early 60's as instructional. STIs? Teen pregnancy? Contraception? Things other than heterosexual contact? Nope. The result was that we had a few 13 and 14 year olds who got knocked up and a lot of promiscuity because you had bored kids with nothing else to do. In grade school it was even eye opening for me. Nonetheless, I did not think it was entirely the responsibility of the school system to provide Sex Ed. It was parents who just ignored it out of either embarrassment or other factors. Doesn't mean that I think we need to be teaching that in K through 3 because kids need to understand and process the information, and that area to me is a bit young and potentially "groomy-feeling". But there's a progression that would be educational on the basics before we get into non-reproductive stuff. Just my $0.02.

So I didn't grouse about 'censorship' as much as I made mention that moderation might be a bit more even-handed. I provided DrScorpio's post from another thread where he jumped in as a reminder of the infraction. From what I've observed of DrScorpio, he's pretty agnostic on the 'who' behind posts, which is great. I made a deliberate choice to not pull out examples or single out specifics because I didn't see anything positive coming from doing that. And I won't start crying to a Moderator on everything I think as violating the above policy. I can use the site tools to ignore those vexations, or simply ignore them -- people only get to you when you let them, and I keep in mind that I can always put this away if I feel I'm becoming too invested. Sometimes when someone gently reminds others that they're close to crossing a line can be far more effective than singling out people. Besides, I know we can't discuss [banned word], [banned word], [banned word], [banned word] and [banned word] to name a few. 😂🤣

FetLife is similar but the discussions tend to be fairly dead and the overall tone of the site in many areas is exceptionally cliquish. Which is why I tend to come here much more than Fet.
