i'm proud of Biden's decision to leave the race. i do not think it was a cut and dried decision. The fact that He stayed the course as long as He did speaks to His character and strength. His choice to drop out equally speaks to His character and strength. i believe He set His ego aside for the good of the country, yet another sharp contrast to His opponent. i'm also encouraged by the part members of the democratic party played in making the change happen. To me, Biden clearly has the intelligence and background to be president. Just as clearly is His (admitted) frailty. We're talking about one of the hardest, most demanding jobs on earth, a four year marathon. i don't doubt Biden's ability to do the job today, i was less confident about His ability to strongly carry the burdens of this country for another four years. i was fully prepared to vote for the Biden administration. Aging presidents with health issues is nothing new to the highest office in the country. Off the cuff, FDR and Ronald Regan come to mind. Both were in decline the last couple of years of their presidency. Our country survived both, and would likely have survived any issues Biden might have faced. It's time for Trump to do the same, to step down for the same reasons and more. But, of course, that's not going to happen. From where i sit, Trump is, and always has been, all about his ego and wanting power. i don't believe the good of the country has never been his concern. i also do not see the same strength of character or resolve in the republican party. There were members wanting and pressuring Trump to step down, but they clearly did not have the strength or resolve to make it happen. The power structure that supports Trump scares me even more than Trump. Trump wants power and to have his ego stroked, the power structure supporting him wants Project 2025, not Trump.

Glad to read that, nor am i. me eiither. Skin color or family origin are not on my criteria list of potential presidential candidates. Personally, i don't think they should be for anyone. Political agenda, character, intelligence seem a lot more relevant to me.

Here's some info on Kamal Harris for those wanting to round out their knowledge of her. i'm really liking the way she is comporting herself... it's so nice to see someone running for the office with a quick wit. And background in the political arena. i like that she is not a complete outsider, but brings minority perspectives as a woman, black and Indian American. Really feeling positive about a presidential candidate that have not felt in years. [think before following links] https://www.britannica.com/biography/Kamala-Harris

You are sure right... at least, for this bottom. i have a FB Who i think is embarrassed by how fast He cums? idk, but He always fucks through it and keeps fucking... or maybe He just cums more than once. i've told Him that it doesn't matter to me how quickly or slowly He cums, what matters to me is that His pleasure is complete. i don't want Him worrying about that sort of thing, i'm connecting to His pleasure and desire/need. i do love it when a Top tells me when He is cumming in some way. It doesn't always have to be with words, as You note, with some it's obvious, but with some it's almost like they hide it and i don't know until they pull out and i finger myself and find Their seed.

It seems to me, on a gay site called "Breeding Zone," "rear mongering" would be a good thing? Sorry, i couldn't resist. Am guessing you meant to write "fear mongering." i do not think i'm a fear mongerer because i see similarities, parallels between Hitler and Trump, and try to parse those out by citing studies or articles that look to identify those similarities. Do i think they are one and the same? No. Do i think there are valid comparisons? Oh yeah. From where i sit, Trump is not as open about his specific goals and agenda as Hitler. Hitler clearly identified the Jewish people as a target (then later added in Gypsies, homosexuals and Jehovahs witnesses?). Trump has identified those people who opposed him as targets for vengeance. i don't see Trump standing for anything specific other than him being in power. His big deal seems more self focused and on getting and retaining a position of power. To me, that makes him different than Hitler. Hitler had some very specific agenda that he implemented once he had power. To me, Trump seems less dedicated to any specific agenda other than having and retaining power. my concern with him is the people backing him, those who help put him in power. i believe as long as he perceives he is in charge, gets his monumental ego stroked, he will implement agenda of supporters, like the religious right and Project 2025, in order to retain his power.

"Again De Berg is alive to rhymes with Hitler. “There were a lot of National Socialists interviewed after the war who said, well, yeah, OK, Hitler was saying all these extreme things but we realised he was a mass politician and we thought that he was just saying things that he didn’t really mean, that he was just exaggerating a little bit. Someone said the demands in Mein Kampf we took as the dogmas in the Bible – no one thought that these things would be fulfilled 100%. “The same is true, dangerously, with the things that Trump says. In his rallies he outlined a whole range of very problematic things that he would do when he was going to be president, but that doesn’t mean all people literally believe that. I don’t think they literally believed that he was going to build this big concrete wall between Mexico and the United States. Many of them thought, unconsciously, what he’s really saying is he will protect America’s traditional identity. “And that – to use a posh phrase – interpretative openness means that both the more extreme followers and the less extreme or ‘moderate’ followers can recognise themselves in the speaker’s words. That made Hitler and makes Trump so difficult.” Trump’s incoherent, meandering and zigzagging mode of speech adds to the effect. “Trump goes from the FBI to a judge to the Democrats to communists and so on. You can then say, well, clearly this guy is an intellectual nitwit, he can’t talk in a logical, argumentative way. He could but he realises that this vague way of tying all these people together actually gives different sections of the electorate different things they can identify with. Some might not like the FBI, others might not like immigrants and so on.” Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading claims during his four years as president, according to a count by the Washington Post. Perhaps the most egregious is “the big lie” that he, not Joe Biden, won the 2020 presidential election, only for it to be stolen due to widespread fraud. De Berg writes in his book: “The idea behind the concept of the big lie is that if an untruth is sufficiently extreme, people are likely to accept it if only because they cannot bring themselves to believe that anyone could lie in such an outrageous manner. “It was Hitler who came up with the concept, writing in Mein Kampf that ‘the great masses of the people … more easily fall victim to a big lie [große Lüge] than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads, and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others.’”" [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/03/donald-trump-hitler-similarities

i found it hard to believe when Trump became popular enough to get elected in 2016... i think a lot of people were as shocked as i was. Political movements have a way of surfacing folk who might live closeted lives because of fear, but if someone who espouses similar ideology gains a position of power, closet doors are flung open and we discover an element of our society that truly exists. It sure happened in Germany back in the 1930's and 40's... the parallels seem profound to me.

Seems the notion of increasing volume is an urban legend. For what it's worth, here's a medical source of info with references. What is normal semen volume? According to a 2010 World Health Organization study, which looked at semen volume worldwide, the range of semen volume is between 0.8 milliliters to 7.6 milliliters, and the average is between 3 and 5 milliliters. This amount changes as the male ages, and peak semen volume is produced between ages 30-35, and volume is lowest once men reach 55 years and older. Why do men want to increase semen volume? Most men associate semen volume with fertility, and it has been purported that men who wanted to have more progeny, especially male ones, may have a better chance if they had more semen. Men feel more masculine if they ejaculate more semen and believe it would increase their and their partner’s sexual pleasure. Unfortunately, due to these facts, dozens of companies make the wrong claim that their pills can increase semen volumes. Semen volume and masculinity Masculinity is in the brain rather than in the semen. Although porn stars seem to ejaculate more, more semen does not indicate more sexual prowess. In addition, most of what is seen in porn films may be cameral or angle trickery and may not be accurate. Semen volume and sexual pleasure The volume of ejaculation is not linked to sexual pleasure for the male or the female partner. Ejaculation and orgasm are not prolonged if the penis takes longer to release the increased volume of semen. This claim, thus, is also false. Confusion over sperm count and semen volume Most men mistakenly believe that increased semen volume would mean increased fertility. Sperm makes up only 1 to 10% of semen. The proportion of sperm rise with a more extended period of abstinence from sexual intercourse or masturbation. Is it possible to increase semen volume? There is probably no way to increase semen volume by popping pills. In addition, most men cannot measure their actual semen volume. Some physicians suggest that adequate water and fluid intake may maximize the semen volume, but this “increase” will also be within normal limits.

Benedict Cumberbatch... especially in the Sherlock series where the script flirts endlessly that he's gay and is crushing on Watson (played by Martin Freeman)... it's so much fun and subtly sexy.

Trump is the king of rhetoric, it's pretty much all that comes out of his mouth... and it's obviously effective with his followers. This is an interesting study/analysis of Trumps calculated techniques. Here's an excerpt from the study: "Donald Trump did a “very good” job: A rhetorical analysis of candidate Trump’s campaign speeches" done by Carolin Mohan (link below) "Almost twenty years before Trump’s announcement, political discourse in the United States made a serious shift. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich took office in November 1994 halfway through the first term of President Bill Clinton. During his tenure as Speaker, Gingrich circulated a memo via his political action committee, GOPAC, to freshman Republican representatives. The memo was titled “Language: A Key Mechanism of Control,” and it encouraged the young lawmakers to use words with negative connotations when referring to their opponents, the Democrats. The letter states that “sometimes we are hesitant to use contrast” and that the reader should “remember that creating a difference helps you.” Contrasting words are listed in separated blocks and include word suggestions such as “reform,” “we/us/our,”“building,” “destroy,” “pathetic,” and “greed” (“Language: A Key Mechanism of Control”).). This kind of speak-first, substantiate-later rhetorical approach exploited a loophole in audience reception. Then-Washington editor of The Nation David Corn contends in his 2005 article “Gingrich-izing Public Broadcasting” that the point of the memo was to “turn name-calling into a strategic political tool” (Corn). Today, Gingrich’s strategy can be found at the roots of many politicians’ communication playbooks, most notably that of President Donald Trump. What sets the analysis of these speeches apart from the current deluge of Trump analyses is that I started from scratch. Personal biases aside, and Trump’s eccentricities ignored, I looked only at the words with which the speeches were sculpted by Trump and no doubt a battalion of communications specialists. This is not to say that Trump’s eccentric approach to his speeches is unimportant: quite the opposite. ... candidate Trump’s promise for immediate, opposite, and broad-stroke change was hot and unstoppable. Trump invokes these promises in each of his speeches, including those studied in this analysis. The speeches are surprisingly devoid of sophisticated policy detail, but this is not uncommon. In order to make their policy plans more accessible to audiences that may not understand the intricacies of government functions, presidents have “dumbed-down” their public language over time, according to Caroline Jones in the Brown Political Review. Additionally, perhaps to give his speeches a semblance of coherence, Trump punctuates his strings of simple and often empty language (e.g., references to unsubstantiated numbers, numerous spontaneous subject shifts, shallow dives into these subjects) with powerful statements on virtually every hot topic being discussed within the public sphere. He uses networks of these powerful statements to associate with them different meanings that lean more in his favor, and consequently uses them to invoke this same meaning when he repeats phrases associated with the issues. Examples include several phrases and words that are often picked up by Trump’s rally audiences and chanted, such as “lock her up,” “build the wall,” and “U.S.A.” These chants symbolize different things to different members of the audience; however, under the same name, the audience believes they are of the same mind and beliefs and that these beliefs are factual and valid. In reality, these phrases are merely words that often bear no weight in lawmaking and make empty promises to people that yearn for quick and tangible change."

Your story could come right out of my diary (if i had one lol). i actually was going in to test so i could get on PrEP when i learned i am poz. Similar to you, i never chased... even engaged occasionally in casual sero sorting (butt was never a serious sero sorter, if a Man needed to breed, i was his lusty receptor). The Guy Who pozzed me gave me syphilis too. i don't think i ever asked, but He claimed to be neg and disease free. i don't know if He knew or not? And, it doesn't really matter to me. He was an awesome Top and a regular FB for a few months when i lived briefly in Roanoke VA. i had long sense come to terms with my need for unimpeded (read: "no condom") connection with a Man during sex. To me, if He does not leave a part of Himself inside of me, as well, if His relief/release/orgasm do not happen inside of me, we have not had sex (not making a universal rule, this is how i experience it). With very rare exception, i'd go without sex before knowingly getting fucked without the completeness of His seed/piss/orgasm inside of me. And i have only had a condom in me less than 5x out of a few thousand, and that was early on. Life is full of risks that we all take without a second thought. Gay sex is, even still, highly stigmatized. FUCK THAT with a condom. The cost of being with a Man sans condom is much steeper than that of risking infection... which we all risk every time we step outside our door (though getting cock in the ass is much more fun than getting a banana at the grocery store)

At this point, the only reason i would move is to be around more gay people. i live in a city of about 60K, and while it's gay friendly for the most part, it doesn't have much of a gay population. i visit places like Ft Lauderdale or Palm Springs, and it feels better as a gay guy, But there are other considerations to living. Cost of living is a big factor, and jobs as well. i make twice as much as a critical care nurse in Oregon as i would pretty much anywhere else like Florida. Many nurses from the south and mid west are moving to OR and WA because we have laws that protect nurses and set nurse to patient ratios that are more doable. We also have unions that ensure a more fair wage than places that do not. California has just gotten too expensive, and that is largely government related, high taxes everywhere you turn. A lot of food is grown in the west, but the cost is way higher than places where the food has been shipped 3000 miles? Gas, utilities, real estate. All among the highest in the nation. Both WA and OR still have places to live, real estate wise, taxes are about the middle ground for the country. It would cost me the same amount to buy a place in Ft Lauderdale as where i live. But real estate is less than Portland Oregon, and Ft Lauderdale is way more gay. Insurance is higher in FL, no state income taxes. BUT, that tax savings does not make up the wage difference for my profession. No where near. So, i am torn, i do want to be around more gay guys... i long for real interaction vs all internet. But that would come at a high price for me financially.

Daniel Craig

i've gotten to the place where i'd only freak if He did. Any more, i am so tuned and into the Man breeding me that i naturally respond to Him. Truth be told, even though i am not into scat on general principle, i relish the idea of a Man Who doesn't care what He encounters because such concerns can impede spontaneous penetration. i want to be available to a Man 24/7, and would happily receive a Man whenever His need/desire arises, but it has to work, be good for Him for it to work, be good for me. i'm not being generous or altruistic, i'm just very responsive that way... i connect to His lust/need and equally despise anything that impedes or dampens that for Him,.

i have no evidence to back this up, so it's conjecture on my part. i still feel my pause button pushed. Our sex drive is a natural appetite. We never consider habits like eating as addiction, but as naturally feeding a need. Our selection of food may be based on appetite, but we are still looking to sate hunger. As i see it, You fast for a week before 'eating.' i've experienced what feels like bonding to a Man Who breeds me repeatedly. The evidence is base on hetero study, but there is evidence that absorbed semen effects the brain in a bonding way. Idk, but i can easily speculate that a Top could have an instinctual awareness of the ability of His semen to bond a bottom to Him... we sure seem to discuss it a lot in round about ways lol. i guess i just grouse at the negative connotation that "addiction" implies. i don't see feeding a natural appetite, hunger, as addictive behavior?

BZ wouldn't let me give You 100 hearts

my story is all over BZ. The short version is i used to be married to a woman. i was religiously conditioned from an early age that being gay is "sick and sinful," and actually believed it was a choice. i spent a large portion of my life trying not to be gay. It didn't work. Ever. One of the worst results is, while married and trying not to be gay, i started cheating... having sex with guys on the DL. For me, it was a tortured existence. i hated myself for lying and cheating. my former wife actually knew i am attracted to guys prior to our marriage, but we were both very deluded and ignorant because of our beliefs, and neither of us really knew what that meant. For me, sex became like a drug fix, it was my only form of affirmation since i was making every effort to not be gay. i wouldn't call them "rules," but i did end up being scrupulously honest and open in all sorts of other ways, trying to compensate i think. Rules for cheating seems a contradiction of terms. Cheating is breaking the rules? To me, what you have created is an illusion. i do not think you have the connection with your husband that you think you have because he does not know you. There is a sizable part of you, a need/desire, that he does not know about. You project an image vs your true self, and he has a relationship with that image vs the real you. To me, it seems a sort of stage play for you, where you are an actor... and he doesn't know that. He thinks you are the real thing. Which, i'm sure you are in some ways, but you are aware based on what and how you write, that he'd be deeply hurt if he knew the real you. You seem fragmented to me, a part of you loves him, a part of you does not.

Speculating, i don't think it's addiction, but dependence (and there is a difference, at least in the healthcare profession). i suspect what you need is to come to a place of self acceptance and start living honestly with who and how you are. When one is conflicted about being attracted to the same sex, not fully accepting, it can lead to what seems an addictive cycle where you try not to have sex with guys until you give in to your need/desire and have sex with guys. That sex can be a sort of temporary fix, an affirmation of who and how you are, then you are ashamed, etc., go back to fighting your self. i'd advocate for professional counseling. The lying and cheating are going to end up hurting all involved, i don't think it's a good or acceptable way to go.

i, generally, despise "chat rooms." To me, more often than not, it's an endless stream of drivel. Frankly, BZ is the only gay site i know of where Men actually engage in lengthy communication and exchange. "...generally." There is the rare occasion where i get into a pm exchange in a chat room, and it can be great, but that's rare. my experience is that messaging has changed communication. Many guys seem either incapable or unaware of how to engage using writing. i have found that many guys even treat email like it's text messaging, writing and responding in short, three word sentences. To be fair, a lot of guys go online to find a hook up and "are interested in actual sex" vs "verbal/videochat about kinky stuff, share stories, ideas, experiences etc." Those guys will often put something like: "no endless emails" in their profile lol. Which i sorta get, testosterone is not known for its patience. On the other hand, there are guys online purportedly looking for connection online, "something more, etc., " and i find myself frustrated by their lack of communication to facilitate that goal. i have come up with all sorts of reasons: 1) Ignorance. Some guys have simply never learned how to communicate in writing. They do not realize they are only as visible as what and how they write. 2) laziness. Some guys want the other guy to do all the work. In a sense, we are just porn they are watching vs a connection or exchange they are having with another person. 3) Fear. A lot of conflicted guys are online... it's a "safe" place and they are there because they are afraid/conflicted of/about who and how they are. Gay sites are full of this kind of guy, empty profiles, no response when someone reaches out. 4) immaturity/self absorption. This one sort of overlaps with all of the other reasons. Some people do not mature or develop beyond a state where it's all about them, they only want to get, not give. 5) They are altered. It may be alcohol or some mind altering drug, something that renders them incapable of actual mutual exchange, more of the one sided stuff. As a critical care nurse who frequently has patients who've blown out their brain or heart using meth, i don't think it's a great choice of substance. To me, the only substance altered guys i've ever experienced who are engaging are guys using marijuana. i'd much rather be with someone stoned on marijuana than alcohol or other drugs.

Absolutely. Especially when He is consciously opening that "hole", it's like a door into a room within a room (womb within a womb?). For me, there is physical fuck and mind fuck. and connection is effected by both. i've had Guys pound my second hole who didn't seem aware of what they were doing or where they were. Then there have been Those Who obviously know when they reach that place and purposely/knowingly open and enter it. Conscious breeding always connects me deeper to The Breeder. For me, "breeding" is more than His Seed or Piss, it's also His penetration and opening of me. From a physical standpoint, once He has planted His Cum or Piss past that place, i'm going to retain Him and absorb Him and it's made possible because i can use that same curve to help hold and keep Him inside of me.

sorry, i'm a nurse, so i have a switch. my desire is to level the ground between a guys hole and a woman's.

No, thoroughly analytical me thinks. Thanks for grabbing hold and further opening and dissecting this can of... snakes. What stands out to me with Project 2025 is how brazen, open, those who would pull the strings are with this. They plainly state that this is about way more than trump or the 2024 election. This is about changing the infrastructure of our country that guards against having a king. Get that kind of control and it won't be the president who controls things but the ones who pull his strings. It's appalling to me how evil these people are and what makes it really scary is i am intimately familiar with the emotional mind set of those who believe they know what "God" wants. They are delusional, truly believing they know God, so their only conscience or moral guard is what they have convinced their self is "God." And "God" can do no wrong. Keep in mind, these people follow a "God" who's gonna send all of us to hell to burn in eternal flames and torture. So, how could anything they do to infidels be worse? If you think i'm exaggerating, check out the list of Project 2025 advisory board members, then start googling them. How about "Liberty University." Pat Robertson and the 700 club. That show gives me the chills. Pats university still gives out counseling degrees in fun stuff like 'reparative therapy." Here's the list of the Project 2025 advisory board members: The 60 groups that make up the Advisory Board include: 1792 Exchange  Alabama Policy Institute  Alliance Defending Freedom  America First Legal  American Accountability Foundation  American Center for Law and Justice  American Compass  American Cornerstone Institute  American Council of Trustees and Alumni  American Family Association American Family Project American Legislative Exchange Council  American Juris Link American Moment  American Principles Project  Center for Equal Opportunity  Center for Family and Human Rights  Center for Immigration Studies  Center for Renewing America  Claremont Institute  Coalition for a Prosperous America Competitive Enterprise Institute  Concerned Women for America  Conservative Partnership Institute  Defense of Freedom Institute  Ethics and Public Policy Center  Family Policy Alliance  Family Research Council  First Liberty Institute  Forge Leadership Network  Foundation for Defense of Democracies  Foundation for Government Accountability  FreedomWorks  Heritage Foundation  Hillsdale College  Honest Elections Project Independent Women’s Forum  Institute for Education Reform Institute for Energy Research  Institute for the American Worker  Institute for Women’s Health  Intercollegiate Studies Institute  James Madison Institute   Keystone Policy  Liberty University  Mississippi Center for Public Policy National Association of Scholars  National Center for Public Policy Research  Pacific Research Institute  Patrick Henry College  Personnel Policy Operations  Public Interest Legal Foundation Recovery for America Now Foundation  Susan B.

Conversely, and on the positive side (at least for me). That same second hold/sigmoid curve is a sweet spot for breeding/being bred. When a Top gets His seed or piss in that part of a bottoms gut, it can be more easily retained and absorbed. i've slept all night with a Mans piss in me and ended up absorbing most of it, and the next morning when i pee, i can smell His piss mixed in my pee and know He's impregnated me. That drives me wild.

Nature has a sense of humor, it made every sex organ with the dual function of waste removal, they just don't all have the culturally conditioned stigma that feces has. A woman's vagina has what amounts to a week long ... movement, every 21 days or so (i.e., a "period") where their body sloughs the wall of the uterus and blood and tissue are ejected by the body as 'waste.' Most people are not grossed out by their own shit, just another's. The fabled (and often revered in the gay community) "second hole" is really the sigmoid, a curve that separates the rectum from the colon. The colon is approximately 4 feet long, and feces can be anywhere along that long tube. It has an ascending portion, transverse and descending portion before it becomes the sigmoid and then the rectum. Again about 4 feet of convoluted, almost accordion like, tubing. The whole human intestinal tract is about 27 feet long including the small intestine. i can pretty much guarantee that none of us is cleaning out that entire tract when we douche. Oh, and it's in constant motion with peristalsis. i'm a critical care nurse, and when we are prepping someone for a colonoscopy, we give them a gallon of this stuff called "Go litely" (obviously the maker has a sadistic sense of humor) and preparation starts 24 hours prior to the procedure. Even one gallon of laxative and 24 hours later, many are still not 'cleaned out' and have to go even longer... though most lower GI doctors are not grossed out by what they encounter, and yeah, it happens all the time. Where most of us bottoms run into challenges is really that "second hole," or the sigmoid curve. i've been totally lucky and never had a shit accident, but i've definitely had trapped water up there from douching.

John Oliver does a great job of deconstructing project 2025, and we get to laugh simultaneously.
