  1. Some like mustard, others like ketchup. We all have differing perspectives. The question originally was whether there were LGBTQIA++ folks who were Republican. I think I answered. Just as you cannot understand voting for Trump (whom I really don't care for either), I'd conversely struggle to understand why people will vote for Biden. Again, we all have different perspectives. I'm also a Gen X'er. A mean tweet doesn't trigger me as it seems to others.
  2. As long as we're all sharing...this is more a statement than an invitation for debate, so I'll just put this out there. I was a registered Democrat when I lived in NY, but more for the reasons that @BootmanLA cited since I lived upstate. If I lived in NYC or close, voting wouldn't even matter since a rat on a treadmill in a cage registered as a Democrat would automatically be elected. Sad. When I moved to Florida, I went with my true party affiliation since my positions are more focused on fiscal conservatism and social libertarianism. So I'm more conservative but have a conscience about whom I'd vote. I'm also Pro 2A and a firearm owner, support border enforcement...basically, I'm not voting a liberal agenda. That said, we have awful choices again in '24 like we did in '20, but I cannot bring myself to vote for Biden. So my vote will be more a reaction to this administration and its ineffectiveness than a vote for the presumptive Republican nominee. But our real problem is the divide we have as a country when in reality most politicians are bedfellows with their counterparts across the aisle. Well, them and Pharma.
  3. Since Philly is my original home -- and yes, some of the old haunts have changed over time but a lot still exist -- a little local knowledge tends to go a long way. If I'm traveling and looking, I might know where to go and for a lot of things I suppose you don't need a hookup app for Philly versus other places. If you're looking to be a cumdump in a motel or want to have randoms meet at your location, then Sniffies is a decent option. I'm inclined to agree with you that Adam4Adam and BBRT are like choosing between two 💩 options but I don't know a better one out there. I've found that despite the really over-the-top kinks on Nastykinkpigs, people there are more open and not necessarily always snobby about hooking up. Never once has the notion of 'generous' ever entered a dialogue there for me where it's almost a mainstay on A4A if you get past the Nigerian 419 scams. This is going to seem out of left field, but has anyone here heard of or tried a mobile app called Taimi, and if so, what were your thoughts?
  4. Way too many years ago while I was at Disney World in EPCOT, "Vinnie" came up to me, asked a question and we began chatting. Which turned into a long day around the park until he had to leave to catch his flight back to NY. But not without exchanging contact information. A long time ago before texting and instant messaging and social media. Have to believe it still happens.
  5. And the Oscar for "Oldest Dredged Up Post We Should Have Long Since Forgotten" goes to... 🤣 Amazing how things get mentioned after a 9-year hiatus. The Twitter hasn't been active in 9 years, the site is unreachable, and I'm pretty certain the horse in this drama is very dead. No need for paranoia today.
  6. I’ve stood corrected on the crocodile comment by the gentleman from Louisiana. And I’m originally from Jersey and moved around NY/NJ/PA for a number of years before finding myself here. But my home office overlooks what I’ll call “my gator” since it enjoys the confines of the small pond behind the house along with a mini-zoo of other critters.
  7. I’m among those who transplanted here a bit over 4 years ago. When I bought, I had my eyes on Punta Gorda since I have relatives in the area, and looked at homes on the canals. But something told me that ultimately wouldn’t end well, and that proved out with Hurricane Ian. I’m happy with where I landed which came through Ian unscathed and is in a good area near everything that isn’t on the East Coast (the night life on the Gulf Coast is fairly tame).
  8. You mean alligators, don’t you? We don’t get crocs in Florida but we’re overrun with three things: Northern state transplants who can’t drive, alligators, and realtors. 🤣
  9. And I was just about to setup a GoFundMe to get them both a room. 😀 Anyway, plucky comic relief aside… I’ll avoid multi-quoting various excerpts and just cite my point. I’m not an angel, I have in the past ‘arranged’ for some ‘companionship’ and certainly sex was on offer though not necessarily on the printed menu. Not proud of it, it was an especially lonely point of my life, I’m not normal transactional in that way, and frankly I tend to shut down those types of overtures from people. I get where people can feel betrayed by especially political figures who manipulate situations where one moment they’ll be doing the kneel-and-bob and the next they’ll be thumping a Bible in front of constituents and decrying the moral breakdown of the family unit. But let’s not be naive in that most politicians and public figures are serially dishonest and sociopaths. It’s scummy, they deserve the karma they’ll at some point get, but outing someone like that will only result in the wrong sort of blowback and the point will be lost in the noise. My $0.02: I believe in karma, and it has a way of catching up with people.
  10. “I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.” - Steve Martin 😀
  11. That’s self-loathing. Justice? Absolutely I’d want to see that visited on the perpetrator. Telling law enforcement what you witnessed? 100% support that. If it came out during the proceedings that the perp, for the sake of argument, r@ped the victim, that perp — self-loathing or not — deserves the karma he’s due for his actions. What I was against was simply “outing” someone who might have their own closely held reasons for wanting to keep their private affairs private. Outing someone in that manner would likely invite the wrong kind of attention and blowback on the person or groups doing the outing. I wanted to make that clear.
  12. You say this here, but let’s give this another perspective. Adult talent - for them, sex on camera is their profession. If money isn’t involved, how would that work? OnlyFans, JustForFans, other adult sites - seems there’s a supply and demand equation at work. If someone wants to pay a certain person $15/month to see cock (or tits), is that not a fair exchange? Social Media/Hookup sites - ever see how many people are seeking “gen”? Seems like every 3rd person on many sites. I’m not buying, but if someone else is, should that be a private decision for both of them (despite the laws about solicitation)? I’m not personally that transactional, but if two other consenting adults are, shouldn’t that be their decision?
  13. There’s really no conflict here. Ask yourself this: Who are you to judge? In your own ideal world, you’ll probably think about moral relativism and how you believe your own ethics should apply. But it’s just that — your ethics, meaning you feel entitled to sit in judgment of someone else’s choices in which you may also indulge. How much of that hurts both of you? Why do you get to judge his gay behavior and feel morally or ethically superior? Personally, am I really better than anyone else? Worse than them? I don’t think so and I don’t have the first hand knowledge of their circumstances; therefore, I cannot judge them on their decision of coming out or not (how difficult was that for many of us without having it be a forced upheaval). It’s not my decision to force upon someone nor should it be anyone else’s. Just my $0.02.
  14. At first, I thought it was that British woman with the cooking show. Then I realized this isn’t quite the audience or forum for that, but we were taking about ‘eating’ after all. 😁
  15. Of course they make money from someone else’s stupidity. But at the same time, lawyers on the other side are preventing those representing the sub-90-IQ set by putting out all the legal disclaimers on these things: Seen on a milk product: “Contains milk.” That’s what I bought, thanks for not ripping me off. Seen on a bag of mixed nuts: “May contain nuts.” Gee, I should hope so, I want what I paid for. Heard on every single pharmaceutical advert on any evening news broadcast: “Don’t take (drug name) if you’re allergic to (same drug name/its ingredients).” The problem with this one is trying to determine the ingredients in almost any drug, COVID-19 vaccines and boosters most specifically. But I agree with you that we’ve raised generations now (not me specifically) that don’t take accountability for their own actions, and the result just makes them seen — by and large — stupid.
  16. During my more ‘straight’ years, it had been drilled into us that you used a condom more so you didn’t get the chick preggers. When I turned 21, I was introduced to someone by a friend who told me she “wanted to jump my bone” and fuck like rabbits, and she wanted it bare. The next day (I know, little late), I asked if she was on the pill and she pulled out her pill case with the days knocked out (which really means nothing but put me at ease that I wasn’t knocking up someone I barely knew). After that, I found most women either didn’t want condoms or they’d pull them off you. So it became the norm that I’d fuck raw and I stopped worrying about it or even asking. When I was with guys, I was more the top and none of them wanted a rubber, so my view was if they wanted bareback, I was down. I’ve only been asked by a couple condom nazis to use one, which I guess was that slap of cold water in the face that made me ask “do I really want to fuck this guy if it isn’t raw?” After a couple episodes of that, I just refused and nothing more would happen. For me, I couldn’t stand the feel of the condom and going bare felt better. Period. And given the choice my partners felt the same. I suppose I was lucky that I didn’t catch anything to the point when I last tested, but that was my choice and I’d live with whatever the consequences were. Now that it’s just guys, no one seems to even ask anymore and I’m down with it all the more, plus I prefer the sexual chemistry with guys.
  17. It depends on how you feel about being cheated on. I’ve had it happen a couple times. The first time, I was resentful of the person and rightfully so, but made the mistake of going back to work on the relationship. Apparently, that was one-sided because they didn’t care until I broke up with them. That’s when they cared. (Note: It was while I was dating women and one of the first long-term situationships I was in). As hot as it may seem, it depends on how invested you and your partner feel about your situation. If you’re truly committed, it’s cheating. If you’re open (or you haven’t classified it or just don’t give a fuck), then it’s whatever else you’d like to call it. And yes, for those who have cheated on me, I watched karma take root. One got cheated on by the person they cheated on me with (I openly laughed at them when it happened, they deserved it). The other (35 years on) looks like 30 miles of bad road taken face down after she got divorced from “Mr. Huge Cock” 2 spawns later.
  18. There’s a lot to unpack there, so first of all, thanks for sharing. That’s a great first step. From your manner of writing and expression, you’re clearly British and there’s a habit of just being stoic, keeping that stiff upper lip and ‘carrying on’. Opening up was a good step. You definitely should avail yourself of a therapist, preferably someone who is versed in relationships and preferably someone with whom you can be open about sexuality. From reading what you’ve provided, it’s clear that you find something about this stressful and unsettling and causing you anxiety. Maybe ask yourself why you think that. Is it because you fear that you’re seeing this bloke in a much different way? Has something awakened in you? Do you find something uncomfortable in those feelings? Have you ever been turned on by a guy before? Are some of those an underlying cause? There’s nothing “wrong” with what you felt — feelings aren’t that binary, they just exist and you’re entitled to them. Those here came to their own realizations at different points in their lives (for me, some feelings around 13, and someone coming out in an unwelcome way at 15, but continued feelings through life). Keep in mind that bisexuality and pansexuality are things that have gained more light in the decades since my own early experiences some 42 years or so ago. You do have another option in addition to therapy: If you both have the relationship you’ve suggested, maybe you should find a way to feel him out about what his feelings are — sex, relationships, the whole picture — during one of your Xbox nights. It doesn’t strike me from what you shared that an admission about what happened would end a friendship that’s seemingly endured for almost 3 decades. Good luck mate.
  19. I’ve gotten the “are you clean” question many times, almost like an afterthought that comes as someone wants to be reassured that their in the moment decision to bareback won’t come with extra surprises. I laugh off the question as naively uninformed because the words mean nothing. “Yeah I showered and trimmed and chose a good deodorant so I don’t clear a room, what sort of scum do you think I am?” Or it’s an opportunity to give some thought and slow the roll a bit. If you’re asking now, maybe you need to step back and think about it. Lastly, it’s a ‘teachable moment’ to explain what he should really ask. As for when they move for the condom, it’s a good and bad thing. My dick hates rubber, and if someone wants to get into that, I move on. It’s a ton of trouble, so I’d rather clear this question when clothes are still on and people are thinking with the right head.
  20. So here’s a follow-up question: How many of those who’ve been HIV positive since the 80’s or early 90’s are around today despite not being on meds? I’ve heard of a few who are healthy going on 30+ years without a medical regimen, but wonder how much the exception that is.
  21. There’s more than a few guys that I’d love to see just take the load raw and in deep. When I get to see them and notice they’re getting a condom fuck, I have no patience for it and they’ve lost me faster than a movie on Amazon Prime. I just want to scream “WHY!?!?!” If they want to try to extol the virtue of safer sex practices, go ahead and do so. Just not in the product we’re (presumably) paying to watch. Same reason I’m watching porn versus cable news: I want to see fucking, not stew over politics. Just fuck, make it as hot as possible, and don’t give me a lecture about it. I’m sure the majority of people on this site don’t want or need that.
  22. Like everything else, people won’t realize how wrong it’s all gone until it’s far too late and they try to swing the pendulum back the other way. If guys are happy wanking to non-existent idyllic stereotypes created by programming, someone will figure out how to make money with it. By the same token, people are also thrilled when they can get plastic this-or-that or cheap shit made in China by slave labor versus the more expensive (and enduring) alternatives that are real, have quality, or won’t break after a few uses…until they lament how cheap that crap is or why people no longer have jobs in their country because they shipped those to cheaper labor pools. There’s a difference between liking something or settling for it versus genuine satisfaction. Happy wanking?
  23. I've seen the ratio be more like 3:1 or 4:1 on average favoring tops versus bottoms. So it's supply and demand. Like walking into the supermarket -- when you go to the meat section, are you heading for the really fatty ribeye, the one that's too lean, or the one that says 'Prime" with just the right marbling? Let's head to the produce section -- oooh bananas! Do I pick the one that's over-ripe and soft, the one that's way too green, the one with bruises all over it, or am I looking for that almost-ripe green/yellow hue that says "I'm ready when you get me home, just peel me open!" Hey, I'll take a bunch of those! 🤣 Ok, I picked bananas on a whim, but we're all somewhat selective when it comes to what we want, no matter what it is. If it's just sex and we're blessed with a choice, why not pick what we want? If it's more than that, it needs to be the whole package. There are guys for all of us that don't make the cut, especially when you account for everything aside from sex. At least you're in Austin and not in God's Waiting Room in Florida where in some areas the average age is a couple years shy of 6 feet under.
  24. I want that cake. And I’m going to eat it, no one’s going to stop me, no matter how many pounds I’ll gain or inches on my waist I’ll need to work off. I must have both. Legal disclaimer: Investing may result in loss of principal. Results not guaranteed and past returns may not be indicative of future results. Principal is not insured. Results not typical. Because we’ve dumbed down entire generations and IQs are decreasing, we need to put warnings on things that should be common sense for anyone with at least a 90 IQ who is a functional member of society. Instead we need to tell people not to take baths with a toaster or drop electrical appliances in water or touch the hot side of an iron because people cannot take responsibility for themselves (and I personally think it’s everyone younger than Generation X because they didn’t get coddled). The information is out there. Read it, learn it, know it, get educated.
