You have multiple examples - what, does he have a reputation for this behavior?

I find it unsurprising that men under 30 would be rude, condescending, or arrogant. I might have been a bit of all those myself at that age.

I find it unsurprising that some men under 30 (depending a lot on geography and self-identification) would be ignorant. Certainly in my neck of the woods (which epithet must be understood to be literal in these parts) there's plenty of ignorance to go around. E.g. I had to educate my primary care provider about doxyPEP, and he clearly didn't get the idea properly because he wrote a prescription for one dose (WTF?). Getting tested for anal and oral STIs is similarly fraught.

FWIW, I used condoms for years back in the 80s and 90s. As far as HIV goes, I trust PrEP more than condoms. But condoms more than doxy.

Yes, my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out to me. Perhaps I should refrain from posting after the second glass of Jameson.

This topic was originally posted in General Discussion and was moved to the Politics forum later (by me, because that's where it belongs). So the Jameson was not at fault.

define "wokeism"

I asked this question a few weeks back, and after beating things rather to death, it turned out that none of the people who use it as a pejorative can (or are willing to) define it other than "liberal policies we don't like".

Great fun!  "Good Omens, the XXX version"? 😉 

A good rim job with plenty of spit is great, but often guys need a bit more to handle my girth.

I find Vaseline (which so many here prefer) is too thick for my taste, so I've been using plain mineral oil, which doesn't dry and also doesn't stain bedding (unlike vegetable oils). That's a bit too thin, so I'd be very curious to know the formulation for the homemade Albolene - @Calgarybugchaser, please share!

As far as commercial lubes, I find them generally overpriced and I really hate the silicone ones, which seem to be impossible to remove from skin and aren't slick enough for my taste.

Lovely and poignant wrapup! Thanks for this awesome story! Great stuff from start to finish!

Saying "the economy is/was great" without specifying "for whom" isn't all that meaningful. Especially to all of the people who aren't part of the "whom".

There’ll be a follow up with an edited version of the last chapter that got deleted because I apparently hadn’t found and read the _right_ post with rules… 

I just need to get it approved first…

 

The last chapter has now been updated. Enjoy!

pretty much all LGBT content is included

This would seem unconstitutional on the face of it. That doesn't mean it won't be enacted! Nor, alas, that the current Supreme Court might uphold it.

How about these two? The clip is very short, and I'd love to see more of it. The bottom's facial expressions are priceless!

Please DO post topics for places in the Middle East and Asia (that don't have their own subforum) HERE IN THIS FORUM.

That is the intended organization of the site until such a time as the number of those posts from a specific country/area is sufficient to warrant the creation of a new subforum. Right now this forum is getting about one post per month including all of those areas together.

Fellow American here. Normal tip is 18-20%, possibly slightly more at a bar if it's only 1 or 2 drinks (because the amounts are small).

If the bartender were to, er, "adjust" the price of the drinks arbitrarily? Sudden EVAPORATION of the tip. Seriously. Alcohol is ALREADY an enormous markup item with a GIANT profit margin. Most restaurants make their real money on the bar tab. This is common knowledge. Bartender dude is apparently not only an asshole but a stupid one (or at least arrogant enough to believe that everyone else is completely ignorant).

You can delete or edit your own posts for approximately 10 minutes after you put them up. If you need to do so after that, report your own post and explain in the text of the report what you want done; a moderator will take care of it.

Fantastic story! Very fuckin hot! If it's based on the 'Pozed on Stage ' story I wrote and posted here on Breeding Zone I am honoured! 

It is, as @Scout noted in the introduction.

Here's a link to @Tanbbottom's excellent story, for those who asked:

OK, I'm not a (medical) doctor. I am a scientist, though. Based on the evidence and events you've cited above, it's far more likely that the symptoms you had in November were due to Covid, RSV, influenza, or another easily transmissible virus than that they were due to HIV seroconversion.  Those first three in particular were extremely prevalent in that timeframe (so much so that it was in the national news), and all are far more contagious than HIV. You had prophylaxis for HIV and for Covid, but what about the other two?

Moderator's note:

Discussion of the book referenced by the original poster is OK. Discussion of practical health strategies is OK. Promotion of denialism is NOT. BZ policy forbids promotion of conspiracy theories and demonstrably false statements.

My Spanish is slowly getting better over time but I doubt I will ever get to functionally literate.

There's an app for that... (actually there are a whole raft of them by now). I've been using one (Duolingo) for a year and a half to refresh my HS Spanish, with excellent results. Recommend.

I could understand the down vote if I had said something that was potentially disagreeable, controversial or offensive.  But I am pretty sure I didn't in the post that was down voted.  It was a fiction story in one of the more permissive forums and really nothing that extreme or out of the ordinary about it given the general content there... Perhaps if someone wrote something really offensive

I re-read your story and I agree there's nothing that seems an obvious reason for downvoting. I'd hazard a guess that it might have been the race/cultural content. Either that or your lousy Spanish 😉 For what it's worth, that story was the most upvoted thing on the entire site on the day you published it (including gallery pictures, which usually win that distinction).

But I still wish there were a list somewhere of the banned words.  Apparently I used one, and have no idea what it was.  Went back, read and re-read my original text, and still couldn't figure out what banned word (or phrase, maybe?) was.  

22 hours ago, austin_submale said:

So there I hit one of three...  I just edited to say that one word, regardless of context gets nuked.  I mean at a certain level I understand why sites do it, but most of these words they ban have legitimate uses ...

@hntnhole I read the post in question and think it's fairly obvious what the word was. But the meaning is clear from context anyway. @austin_submale Of course there is a list - somewhere in the code that makes it happen. It's confidential (even from staff) because having it published would give people an easy workaround. The purpose of the list here on BZ is pretty specific: It's because certain words were being used as code for practices that are illegal and are against the rules of the site (with good reason). Yes, it's annoying because the words have legitimate uses. Consider it a challenge to your vocabulary.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to post subsequent chapters -- just as comments on this thread?

Yes, please keep all the chapters of a continuous story in one topic. That way people can find them easily and come back to check for continuing chapters!

So I never thought I would want to block someone, but a user downvoted me for something I don't think is fair...

@Phallarchist is correct. Blocking people won't hide your posts from them, only hide their posts from you. It's a public forum, so your posts are public, either to the site membership (if in the Backroom), or to the internet at large (elsewhere on the site).

That said, you (specifically) really don't have to worry about people downvoting your posts. There will always be someone out there who dislikes or disagrees with things, and occasionally they will act on it. That is their prerogative. It's unlikely you'll agree with them (after all, you wrote the post in the first place). With the number of posts you have made in your tenure, and the tremendous overall positive response they have received, the occasional downvote is vastly outvoted by the upvotes.

Holy shit... the other day I swear it had a dumb message saying removed because of content..   but it was on my friends laptop might be a virus or something on his pc... cause now on mine dont see it...  my bad.

It did. But that post was a link to Tumblr (which no longer exists), and one can infer from the other posts about it that the link was to an image. I removed it because it was confusing and annoying.

WTF happened to last chapters??     Censored?

Nothing has been censored. The last episode of the story ends with the protagonist getting pozzed and looking at the skyline contemplating the future.

The author is still active on BZ (within the last year), so you could message him if you want to beg for a sequel.
