  1. Hey guys, I’m moving to the NYC metro area and I’m starting to look for a place to live. The NYC area is obviously huge, and the housing market is brutal. I’m hoping you guys who have been here for a while could give me some tips on what to consider when choosing an apartment. Particularly one that’s good for taking lots of loads. Unfortunately my work is up in Westchester County so the commute would be a bit tough unless I lived accessible to the Metro North. Any recommendations on neighborhoods, factors to consider, and any other advice when looking for an apartment? I definitely plan on having a place to myself. Related question: can a bottom get good dick in Yonkers or White Plains if he lived near the metro?

    Thanks in advance!

    So do you think PrEP could be used as PEP?

    I wouldn’t go quite that far. This is still pre-exposure prophylaxis because you need to take the first double dose prior to the exposure. The subsequent doses are to maintain antiretroviral concentrations during the period of time that the virus would be capable of replicating. I would not recommend waiting until after an exposure to take only Truvada. After an exposure, there is really only evidence right now to support full-on PEP.

    7 days is more than enough time. Nurse here who works in sexual health. 

    Pharmacist here, and I second the nurse. There was a trial called the IPERGAY trial that looked at the use of “on demand” PrEP. “On demand” meaning that PrEP was only taken around times of intercourse. Patients would take their first (double) dose 2-24 hours prior to sex and would only continue (with single doses) for two days after sex. Despite the short time on the drug, this still resulted in an 86% drop in seroconversion. A week of regular daily dosing is quite sufficient.

    Guy I used to play with when I lived in KC had a St. Andrews cross in his basement that he would hook me upto, miss that for sure. He also had a liberator foam block thing we would use. 

    Just getting into leather, starting to shop for harnesses.  Also maybe want to buy a collar to wear. Started to do blindfold play a few months ago, really like that. 

    I have a few cockrings and quite a few jockstraps but Im not really sure Id consider that BDSM gear. 

    I have yet to be in a sling so I obviously want to try one of those out if I muster up enough courage to start going to the local bathhouse (Rainbow Cabaret)

     

    Very hot! I’ve never been on a St. Andrews Cross, but definitely want to.

    I highly encourage you to go to your local bathhouse. It’s a fun time! Keep your expectations reasonable — you might not hop in the sling on your first time there. But once you get comfortable there, it’s a great place to be to get lots of stranger cum ?

    The hottest top alive that pozzed my hole made me wear a leather pig head hood while he did the nasty deed. Ever since Ive had a fetish for any leather gear. Hoods, bar vests, chest straps, chaps, biker hats, all of it.

     

    Leather oozes sexiness for me.

     

    Rubber too.

     

    Rim chairs are an instant party with like minded individuals or groups.

     

    Big jock strap fan here too.

     

    Especially, piss/cum stained nasty looking jocks.

     

    Slings. Sling might just be among my favorite fetish gear. While laying in a sling, I feel so open to abuse and violation and it feels so HOT!!!

     

    Oink!

     

    Just a few of my kinks off the top of my head.

     

    Very hot!

  6. Hey guys, I had a ton of fun at MAL this year and enjoyed shopping at all the vendor booths. It got me to thinking — what are some of everyone’s favorite (non-chemical) gear, toys, devices, etc. to enhance your play sessions? Would love some recommendations from some other pigs!

  7. Methemoglobinemia is a well-known adverse effect of nitrites/nitrates and may be the cause of the cyanotic fingers you’re experiencing. It can be dangerous at high levels of methemoglobin, as the methemoglobin (an altered form of hemoglobin formed by the nitrates) is much less efficient at delivering oxygen to peripheral tissues. This is an effect that is mechanistically unrelated to hypotension and the vasodilatory effects of the nitrates, and the onset occurs after the vasodilatory effects. On the extreme end of things, patients with methemoglobinemia can become hypoxic and can develop CNS depression and/or a metabolic/lactic acidosis. This generally occurs with very heavy popper usage. The cyanotic symptoms described sound consistent with mild methemoglobinemia, but it’s hard to tell without a work up. Hope this helps!

    Sorry for the confusion - My error was in assuming that the Truvada used for PrEP would be, or could be, the same formulation as in the Genvoya I’ve been taking for two years. Which begs the question: If the FDA considers it safe and effective enough for patients to take as ART, why isn’t it considered safe and effective for use as PrEP? Perhaps @barecub85 could shed some light on this?

    It’s because it’s not said to be effective until it’s shown to be effective in clinical trial for that specific use. It helps to understand the chemistry a bit.

     

    Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is slightly different from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Both of them have tenofovir, the main active part, bound to another molecule. But that other molecule is different in both cases. Why is tenofovir bound to another molecule anyway? Well, tenofovir by itself doesn’t get absorbed well. By adding these extra bits to the tenofovir molecule, the absorption of tenofovir is increased. And when TDF and TAF get inside the cells, they both get converted to the active form of plain, old tenofovir. We call TAF and TDF “prodrugs” — drugs that aren’t active until they’re converted in the body to their active form.

     

    Okay, so we’ve established that tenofovir doesn’t get absorbed as well as TDF and TAF, so that’s your first clue that, despite them all having the same main active bit, they don’t all have the same efficacy and safety. If the drug can’t get to where it needs to work, it’s not going to be very effective.

     

    Now what’s the difference between TAF and TDF? Compared to TDF, TAF prefers to go into cells instead of staying in your plasma. This is potentially good for a couple of reasons. (1) That’s where the action happens — more drug in the cells can be good because the step in the viral lifecycle that tenofovir interferes with happens inside of cells. (2) Tenofovir can be tough on the kidneys and can have effects on bone mineral density. If the tenofovir is in the cell as opposed to in the plasma, there is less chance for the tenofovir to hurt your kidneys or bones. Clinical trials in the setting of HIV treatment showed that TAF was just as good at achieving viral control as TDF (showing efficacy), but it also had fewer adverse effects (showing this improved safety).

     

    So why can’t we use TAF for PrEP if it’s so great? Well, because there isn’t enough data on it’s use in prevention. In prevention, you’re blocking the virus from being able to establish an infection, so you want to be sure that TAF gets to the specific tissues (genital tissues/mucosal tissues) where HIV infection starts as good or better than TDF. This is the part that’s not as clear yet, though there are studies being done that look promising.

     

    But until there’s sufficient data to gain FDA approval for TAF to be used for PrEP (in combination with emtricitabine), no provider will write for Descovy for PrEP, and perhaps more importantly, no insurance company will reimburse for Descovy for PrEP.

  9. First was crabs when I was 19 or 20. No clue who I got it from, but that was the one and only time I got crabs. I was in college then and I didn’t have a car at the time, so it was probably from cruising on campus or a very local hook up found via Grindr or Manhunt.

    Since then, I got syphilis at 22; gonorrhea alone at 29; gonorrhea and chlamydia in my throat, rectum, and urethra at 30; possibly Hep C (that spontaneously resolved) around the same time. I’m 31 now, so I suppose we’ll see what else shows up! ?

    This is difficult to answer without knowing exactly what your preferences are, but here are a few thoughts from a local. Crew Club is definitely “cleaner” and is in a “better” part of town that is easier to access via public transportation. Tuesday night is half priced, and sometimes can draw a decent crowd that night. Weekends can be fun too, but of course there are no guarantees. Crew has lots of private cabins. So, if you want to walk around, pick a guy, then take him back to your cabin, it works well. Many guys walk around in a towel until a connection is made this way. But, crew’s open/public sex spaces are less than ideal. There is a tiny dark room. If you like a steam room option, they do have a nice large one.

    Glorious is easier with respect to parking, and is also (generally) much sleazier. For some of us, this makes it “better,” depending on the night.  There are a couple of nice dark rooms (great for loads), plenty of glory holes, a “dungeon” area, slings, etc. If you’re into black men, this is a good bet on almost any night. Hummer takes place here on the first and third Saturday nights of the month . It’s gear/leather oriented, but that’s not required per se. Usually very easy to give/take multiple loads on those Saturday nights.

    If you’re visiting, and are unfamiliar with the city, you might want to stay at one of the cumdump hotels around Thomas Circle (such as the Washington Plaza) and start with the crew club, which is within easy walking distance. But if you’re looking for an eclectic piggy spot, and feel like venturing out of Northwest DC, give Glorious a shot.

     

     

    Fantastic response! For those visiting from out of town, this is a great comparison of the two locations to help you get lucky. And if you’re really lucky, you’ll get a load or two from @alexmasctop while you’re out. He’s incredible.

  11. Similar story to the poster above. I think I must’ve had hep C with spontaneous viral clearance. I had no clue. I tested positive for the antibody test at one doctor’s appointment and then negative for the RNA/viral load test. Two subsequent hep C antibody tests were positive (though I also weirdly also had two that were negative since then), so it’s unlikely a false positive. I suppose some other antibody I have could cause cross-reactivity, but I think that’s pretty unlikely. I’m going to assume it is reflective of true infection that cleared, because it happened a few months after some rough bathhouse sling time.

     

    It hasn’t altered my behavior, and I still take any and all cock wherever and whenever I can.
