This isn't going to be your typical BZ post; just looking for general advice. I'm vacationing in Porto and Lisbon in late March. Will be traveling with my (straight female) cousin. She's great with the gay bars but, of course, I'd never take her anyplace too wild 🙂 To be honest, this is also a possible dry run. If the US gets dramatically worse, I'd consider relocating somewhere within the next few years. (I'll be retired by then.) So just looking for advice: Where should I stay? We booked the Cenica Porto (which I can change if needed) but nothing yet in Lisbon. Something moderate. Not looking for a hostel but don't need super luxury either. Any bars that would be pretty mellow (we go to a gay piano bar here at home and she doesn't feel out of place.) In terms of splitting our time, I've initially planned Saturday-Tuesday in Porto then Tuesday-Saturday (leaving Saturday AM) in Lisbon. Is that about right or should I allocate the schedule differently? Anywhere else we should go? I offered my cousin a day in Fatima, which I'm hoping she'll decline 🙂 Thanks in advance!

Sure.

We have a few out TV personalities here in Philly but other than public events (emceeing pride parades etc) I never see them out. I get strong gaydar vibes from a couple others; one is a weekend meteorologist on a station I don't typically watch, but I do on weekend mornings! 🙂 (Super hot Latino guy with an accent.)

Yep. I remember the student union and library buildings were cruisy. There were a couple department stores, ABS, theaters, etc. Most/all are now shut down. I'm too old for the college stuff now and department stores tended to get raided. But I miss the theatres and bookstores. A few weeks ago I was in NYC and drove to the Fair Theatre in Queens which was just like the good old days but super inconvenient for me to get to.

Maybe a matter of semantics but I like to differentiate between outdoor sex and public sex. Outdoors, you could, hypothetically, be caught by someone but aren't necessarily. Public sex might be outdoors or in, but people ARE watching. Maybe a bathhouse or movie theater, or something like Folsom Street Fair. I don't do either much, because most of the venues I used to frequent are closed. Though I really enjoy public sex because the people who will see me are people who expect to see someone. Similarly, if I'm watching you, it's because you're putting yourself in a situation where you want to be seen. I'm weird about outdoor sex because you don't have control over who sees you. Could be a kid, or someone who isn't trying to see you. Though when I was younger and had a car but not a place, I frequently parked somewhere and was caught a couple times, though I wasn't trying to be seen.

Mice, bugs and door alarms at Doubletree?
phillygwm replied to breakland's topic in Philadelphia Metro Area
The reason people book the Doubletree is because you don't need a key card to operate the elevator. It's a moderate hotel, past its prime, but looked clean the last time I was there. -
There are different types of gay cruises. Some are family oriented, some are super upscale (typically old couples,) and yes, there are the floating bathhouses 🙂 I love cruising but have never done any gay cruise. Part of that is because I'm single and cruises tend to penalize single guys (double fare.) Another reason is that I tend to be socially awkward and can just see it going wrong. But part of it is that I tend to prefer a regular cruise on a gay friendly cruise line. On my last cruise (Holland America) I made several friends at the gay mixer whom I still stay in contact with.

I know most guys (outside the US and Middle East) are uncut but I've found Indian guys, in particular, have particularly long foreskin. Not that they're necessarily huge but they all seem to have a lot of overhang. Yum,

Bareback: Someone else's cum. Condom: Ben Gay 🙂 (KIDDING!)

I joke that a friend used to pimp me out. Fact is, among people I don't know I'm socially awkward and would never approach someone. We once were at a bar watching a baseball game and I indicated that I thought the guy on the other side of my friend was hot. He immediately turned to him and said "My friend thinks you're really hot." I was fucking mortified. But 1/2 hour later I was in his hotel room, doing unspeakable things 🙂 Had I made my move, it probably wouldn't have worked because I don't always come across well. But that intermediary was what I needed!

The problem (for some, anyway) is that gay rape is usually gonna be messy unless the rapist is carrying an enema kit with him 🤣 Obviously, if it's something planned that becomes non-consensual etc. that's different.
-
Would you be into watching someone else rape him? Maybe someone who will stuff one too many fingers in there until he begs you to make it stop. But you're too busy gooning to his pain...

I've mentioned before, I've had some medical issues over the years. I take Viagra but, even so, certain situations just don't work for me. I suspect this is because I'm not aroused and, if I'm gonna get hard, I need to be aroused more now than say 40 years ago 🙂 All this is to say I used to wear a condom, if the bottom insisted on it. I wouldn't volunteer. Now, I don't think I could maintain an erection in a condom. So if someone is going to be insistent, they'll have to settle for oral (which I actually prefer anyway) or I'll just leave.

It depends on how one defines "whore." I've met some cumdumps who basically wanted to be a human fleshlight and limited what they'd allow the top to do. That works for some tops but it often isn't enough to arouse me, even with Viagra. Conversely, I've met some guys who view their job as satisfying their top -- and usually themselves -- whatever it took. I've had some really good times with those guys. No expectations of a LTR or even an extended play session. Their body count per session is a lot lower but I've always left drained,

I agree with this, up to a point. When it's literally life and death, the government should provide a safety net. Especially in the US, where costs of meds aren't as regulated as elsewhere. PrEP, for instance, used to cost me about $200-300/month. I can afford that but a lot of people can't. HIV would spread much faster than it does now if people had to go without, which is clearly not in the public interest. In terms of HIV but also many other diseases, where this really hits home is research, which is largely funded by NIH and other orgs. That's been decimated. With HIV, some meds (admittedly, not the cutting edge stuff) are relatively inexpensive especially when produced overseas for those markets. Even so, lots of people in the Third World can't afford it. The foreign aid that the US recently cut will be a death sentence for a lot of those people unless other funders step in. All of this predates the government shutdown and will continue well after it's resolved.
