  1. Sorry to quote your entire post to say 'me too', but thank you for having the courage to say that. A lot of people are tired of "the narrative", others have seen through it and just said enough. I go by actions, and when I see the leftist opinions are regarded authoritatively while centrist/libertarian/conservative views are labeled and squelched or yelled-down, one tends to know the score. At a certain point people incent the type of behavior and lowest common denominator to which they appeal. Hopefully people recognize that it's time to stop the bitter divisiveness and be more agnostic as a community rather than simply beating everyone's heads in and effectively driving them away. Wouldn't that be about as boring as watching MSNBC?
  2. Narrow, but not uncommon. In his book, Never Enough (2007), about a murder committed in 2003 in Hong Kong, described by the New York Times Book Review as hard-boiled clichés with a cartoonish first impression, Joe McGinniss describes a court case in which "twink" was defined as "a gay slang term used to denote an attractive, boyish-looking gay man between the ages of 18 and 23, slender ectomorph and with little or no body hair, often blond, often but not necessarily Caucasian." Also from Wikipedia: Twinks are often clean-shaven to emphasize a youthful, fresh-faced appearance. They are generally in their early 20s and slim, often with a boyish appearance. Give a Twink significant body hair and he ceases to be...well, a Twink. Maybe an Otter. 😃
  3. Yes, but presumably you can work past that since it's not prompting you to ignite a flame war with them, right? If I can ignore the specific user, I can usually look past someone quoting them. Although I might give another look to the quoter based on the company they keep, but that chance is remote at best.
  4. Can I assume you weren't surprised at the reveal?
  5. Look, I don't have a hound in this hunt with the moderation here, though I do agree there are certain individuals here who are utter bellends, and despite the rules that we not disparage others, they seem immune to enforcement. This isn't uncommon, people are humans and there will always be actors that tend to stir people up. Am I bothered by some of the content? Perhaps, but I also can use discernment to decide what is and isn't worthwhile. Some things do make for a hot fantasy, but that's all it will ever be for me. Am I bothered by certain people? As I said, yes, but fortunately I can ignore them using the site tools and not see/hear/read/be bothered by them, and frankly I don't have any fucks to give. Would I leave? Amidst the detritus on the site, there's some really great information, and I'd stick around to read it. But I am cautious of any sour grapes approach to some site not meeting all of one's needs and taking their marbles to walk away rather than trying to create the change you want to see. Just my $0.02.
  6. Well thought and phrased. Not even considering issues of entrapment that might surround this, it's just dicey to expect that the younger adult in the equation is mentally or emotionally equipped for what may happen. What happens if things go in a specific direction, and the experience is not what the younger guy expected? I'd venture that 'buyer's remorse' might make an appearance and suddenly a he-said/he-said account occurs. Odds aren't in the favor of the elder in that situation who "should have known better". Between helicopter parenting, entitlement mentality, and guilt-ridden working parents never saying "no", there isn't a sense of responsibility in this generation (or the prior one in many cases). And there are non consequences to actions. I live in a state with Consenting age is 18. As hot as it might seem to some to go too much lower than that (I did 17 when I was 29, but consenting age was 16 in that state), I recognize the maturity levels are stunted. I agree I wouldn't want to go near anyone teetering close to that with a barge pole (let alone my own pole). THIS. ^ Nobody checks, no one makes the effort to validate. We get catfish, but we also get those who are using 18 and 19 as an age on these sites as code for 15, 16 & 17. Oddly, this topic came up for me on another site recently where a very attractive young dude (19 on his profile) began talking to me and as we got deeper into chatting, it turns out he's 4 months shy of being legal in my state. While I don't believe it's an entrapment scheme, I still have a conscience enough to know when to walk away. Even if 17 were consenting age here, I'd be asking where he was in 2004 and the answer would be "developing a spinal cord". We might be able to fuck, but we'd definitely not be on an intellectual, emotional or conversational level.
  7. This has long been a curiosity of mine, but the one thing you just experienced is the same thing that keeps me from actually going for it. So many questions, but did you suffer any infections or complications from all of this (since it's a couple weeks on), or have you eventually had to have this stitched up aside from throwing a barbell through it? Other question is how intense the orgasm was from this.
  8. I guess if you're lucky, you'll be around for the Second Coming. And the Third. And fourth. 😂🤣 (I'll show myself out)
  9. I think you could be onto something @YourNoLimitsBottom and @fskn. Or you could find a building that would perhaps double as a 'dark room' but in much larger scale where you need to both adjust to the surrounding minimal light or feel your way through. Gay bathhouse + Escape Room = Gay Escape Room. Novel concept! 😂
  10. So let's say that a guy who has (and did) fuck women just also likes guys not only when the woman isn't putting out and has a hankering for young twinks and fem bois (among others). And the guy has no issues with kissing, reciprocating, staying-and-playing rather than hit-it-and-quit-it. The external world might perceive him as straight because they see him involved with a woman and don't know about his other life. Is he really straight? Or is he bi? Or poly if he's into FTMs, MTFs and other non-binary flavors between he's tasting the rainbow? Or better still, does a hard label really even matter if the two people are just enjoying each other? I ask since we appear in this thread to be splitting the hair between varying versions and degrees of "Straightness" (not picking on any one person in particular).
  11. Not going to say the OP's experience doesn't ever happen, but if you go on BBRT in Tampa, you can see the number of parties that bottoms setup for pump-and-dumps and how sparsely attended many of these are. Anecdotally, I've heard some of these guys mention that they can have 10 guys RSVP days in advance, and if 2 actually show it's not uncommon. Your mileage may vary. Like ErosWired, I'm skeptical.
  12. Chicago Archdiocese covers only Cook and Lake Counties. If it's outside of those, it's outside the diocese. It's probably Rockford Diocese. Here's a link to a map. [think before following links] https://www.ilcatholic.org/map-of-illinois-dioceses/ Not trying to usurp the conversation into advocating religion, but the priest I referenced was defrocked many years later. In fact, he was arrested taking a student to his vacation trailer and diddling him there. They released him, then sent him around to other Dioceses, one after the other, and when his behavior became known and raised issues, they'd pawn him off elsewhere. That was how the RC Church for too many years handled its 'minor attracted person' problem. Eventually, they'd exhausted the goodwill of the other dioceses, and he was defrocked. I'll DM you a link if I can find it. Point is that they could have dealt with their issues head-on and sent a message but they just let it fester like an infected wound, and by the time they did something, it was out of any other choices and bowing to public pressure.
  13. No need to tell me...one of my first experiences was a priest at my high school. He had been making the hints for a while waiting for a sign. One day, I biked to the part of a park a few miles from my house and saw his van parked where the [banned word] usually hang out, and he's sitting there with the window rolled down. I clearly caught him by surprise, and guess that gave me an upper hand in letting him know I was receptive. Sparing the details, that was my first oral experience. He lost interest after finding out I wouldn't bottom for him. 😃 If it's the Diocese of Chicago, it would be the Arch Bishop. Generally they're elevated to Council of Cardinals if it's a standing Arch Diocese like Baltimore, Philadelphia, NY, Chicago, Boston or LA. If it's not an Arch Diocese, say Brooklyn, it would be a Bishop. But there is a certain pecking order. To get back to @ErosWired's thread, though, I'm not sure what that priest would have scored on this survey but given what I've learned from that survey, we might have been pretty similar.
  14. I guess that was a real seminal experience in many ways. 🤣 (I'll let myself out)
  15. I dunno...I've heard some pretty smutty jokes from nuns and ex-nuns.
  16. No, I thought the concept was brilliant, and it definitely has a long tail into someone who'd want to use the data to better explore the sexual profiles of gay men. And if nothing else, it helps dispel long-held stereotypes that many may have. I'll still need to send you mine and have you tell me more than I probably know myself. 😃
  17. Over time, I've learned that I'm not rich enough to afford cheap things. I've had people laugh at how much I might pay for really good shoes...at least until they know how long I've had them for (I have shoes older than some of the twinks on here). 😂 Spend the extra money once and get the quality tool for the job,
  18. Like the old saying about how to define diplomacy: "Telling someone to go to Hell in a way that has them thanking you for providing accurate directions." 🤣
  19. Yeah, whoops. I noticed that right afterward but couldn't delete. Wearing the whole omelette on my face for sure. But...I'll not only respect but actively defend the rights of others to have a differing view -- especially since being a conservative in an LGBT discussion is apparently a curious thing. Nonetheless, let's have enough respect for each other than to accuse any of us being racist, especially if you haven't walked a few miles in each other's shoes (no, I'm not lending out my shoes for the purpose). 😃 Peace.
  20. Well @viking8x6, if I ever did tell someone to fuck themselves, I'd at least be nice enough to (a) hope they'd enjoy that, and (b) make sure they had accurate directions. 😂🤣 Moving on...
  21. There's a saying on the Internet: "Don't feed the troll." I've sat back and observed that there are certain people who post here that feel they're absolutely right and you are absolutely wrong. Either you squelch or block them, or you decide that you don't have a fuck to give them. Or tell them to go fuck themselves, but then they might actually like that. 🤣 You do you. And if they can't handle that, it's certainly not 'you' that's the problem.
  22. There is a great sub-Reddit called Where are all the Good Men (r/whereareallthegoodmen) that delves into the topic at hand quite often. I'd suggest heading over and giving it a read even if only for the comedic value of the postings, which largely consist of Online Dating Profiles from women, as commentary-by-example. It's hard to summarize this in a a simple answer, but I'll give a couple of reasons around it: The men that a woman in her 20's bypassed hat she saw as "Beta males" (whether or not they were) for the "Alpha Bad Boy" are starting to look like solid providers now that she's passed her sell-by date. Women made their mistakes in the earlier years, rode the cock-carousel with those bad boys and now they're no longer interested in her. She's usually left with a couple of kids and very few prospects. Women are flaky and have shit for brains, or just spread their legs too easily. They want a do-over but that ship long-since sailed. Men can look pretty damn good into their later years where women...well, after pushing out a few kids, aren't looking so nifty. They're on the prowl for a wallet to support them/their kids/their lifestyle, etc. You mentioned that she's not looking for financial support, but I think you're right to not want to get on that ride, especially if you're happy with your life right now. The Reddit community tends to use MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) as the acronym to summarize it. Whatever the reasons, if they wouldn't give you the time of day when you might have shown interest, you have no obligation to suddenly take an interest when it's convenient to them. Were it me, I'd run -- not walk -- away from that.
  23. You're right. It isn't the politics section. Be very careful - I'm not a Democrat, nor am I a Trump Republican. I'm a conservative Libertarian, and definitely not a racist. All due respect, please leave this over in LGBT Politics.
  24. It's amazing how seductive going bare, or merely the thought of it, becomes. Once I had that first time without condoms, I could never go back. And those I was with preferred the skin-on-skin feeling of it all. Even speaking with people about it now who do the "safe only" song and dance just tends to be off-putting. Ever notice that the fantasy of that never seems to match the reality of it. You imagine some older, attractive guy who wants to show you the ropes, and it winds up being someone...well, quite the opposite.
  25. I'm imagining that the space will be redeveloped with retail or residential. At $1.5M, that's not much for just changing ownership and based on reputation, it needed a lot of work. Sounds like a tear-down.
