  1. Was intended for levity.
  2. 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).
  3. 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. 🤣
  4. 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.
  5. “I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.” - Steve Martin 😀
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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. 😁
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Two theories: 1. The “I’m leaving to never return again…did you hear me, I’m not coming back…I’m back to make sure you heard me the first 7 times about not returning, I’m dead serious this time, I’m not going to logon here again…screw it, I’m back because no one deleted my account to force my own compulsive behavior” syndrome. Instead our reaction should be “Don’t go away mad, just…go away.” 2. Ever get stuck in a long line of traffic and you want to finally get to the head of the line and find yourself disappointed because you didn’t see carnage? The wreck has since been cleared and you’ve just wasted an hour of your time without anyone else’s misfortune to make your day. Don’t you just hate that? Hell, I try to get a good view to make sure I see the mangled vehicles and ambulances scooping up the injured because we all can’t resist watching a good train wreck. 😁 Or car wreck.
  21. The grapes are too high to reach. I'll bet they're sour anyway. 🤣
  22. This is refreshing to hear in these forums. Us 'lurkers' who come in with more questions than answers often wonder about whether all of these guys who seem to embrace the risk behind chasing or being pozzed tends to leave readers thinking there's legions of people going out there and making such decisions. I've wondered that most cannot be authentic. I do know guys who are poz, some who've made the decision to come off meds (partly due to cost), others who never sought it out, some who lament their state but plod onward, and some who have vehement positions on those who are seeking out HIV. Chap I've met claims to have gotten it from someone who wasn't religious about medications that gave it to him -- don't know if I completely buy that he got it from oral sex, but I take him at face value. I'm glad there are some reasonable people who can express sound reasoning and concern. Thank you for putting that out there.
  23. Though not technically r@pe and not technically under consenting age (so not statutory r@pe either), a friend (at the time) who was actually a predator threw himself onto me under the guise that he had feelings. In hindsight, he was really fucking harmless to me since I was bigger than him (in multiple ways). He did this to another friend of mine who was the same age (he was a few years our senior), and when we compared notes, we both thought he was pretty pathetic. Neither of us had any desire to go into explicit details other than to laugh at his lack of game. Or rather the one feeble approach he had for coming onto guys. My concern many years on is that his MO tends to be involvement with youth groups (Boy Scouts being one) and whether or not he is grooming younger boys as a predator of them. I didn’t consent to him wanting to force himself on me and no penetration happened to me, nor did I have interest in penetrating him (for a wide variety of reasons). Don’t really know why I’m sharing other than a way of processing that early confusion in a kid’s mind that makes him question his sexuality before he might be ready to process that. Plus it was a time I was awkward anyway, so I hated him for creating that confusion before I was ready for it. On the positive side of it, I’ve learned that gay men aren’t in general the predators or pedophiles that are fodder for fiction. I’m no longer uncomfortable around other guys after a slight bit of therapy to uncover that. To the original question: No. Definitely not attracted to his type. Nor was my friend.
  24. When I left New York and stopped commuting in/out of the city, they were starting to upgrade the cheaper motels along the GW Bridge approach on Route 4. The ones they probably can't do much about are along US-46 to/from the bridge (between the Turnpike and the bridge). More than a couple looked the part of a day-rate / nooner type arrangement. There's one in Wayne on NJ Route 23 almost across from a bus park-n-ride that has a reputation as a hooker haven (Wayne Motor Inn or something similar), so that gets you out to Jersey and connected to bus transit. Follow the commuter traffic and you're set for the night.
  25. There are plenty of hotels around Harmon Meadows in Secaucus if you look around Harmon Meadow Blvd that regularly host people with ads in Doublelist and other sites. If you want to go on the same sketchy side that @NastyRawBottom wanted, the 5-mile or so expanse of US 9 known as Tonnele Avenue has plenty of low-end motels between the Holland Tunnel and 495. All of the above are served by Uber/Lyft. Doing a bus to/from Port Authority Bus Terminal entails between 0.7 and 1.4 miles of walking. If you follow the commute going in the evening and coming back the next morning, the time-tables won't be terrible. Consult Google Maps for routes and options. It's also optimal for guys from Jersey who don't want to contend with tolls and parking into NYC.
