  1. Only did Cub Scouts. It was fairly clear to me by the time I got some distance into those that the authoritarian and religious aspects of Boy Scouting were incompatible with my outlook, so I passed on them. I had no conscious idea at the time that I was queer. I actually regret that decision now - I think they would have been good for me in several ways.
  2. Well, there are two questions here: The question of psychology (does the guy believe he's straight) and the question of semantics (who gets to decide what 'straight' means). I prefer arranging my logic thusly: If I'm using "straight" to mean "has sex only with women" and he's using "straight" to mean "prefers women over men" (both of which are widely used and reasonable definitions for "straight"), then we are inevitably going to disagree on what to call it when the situation results in different truth values for the two definitions. But we are splitting hairs. Obviously we're not getting enough 😉 By the way, have I said recently that I really enjoy your discussion here? I think we'd get along very nicely and hope to meet you in person some day.
  3. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." I agree the label doesn't fit. So he's (deliberately or otherwise) mislabeling himself. But at the end of the day, it's what he does that matters - politics aside (and there's the rub). So much this. Takes me back to my 15 minutes of fame (on a talk show in 1991 as a bisexual, as which I then I identified). He played the black and white card, probably to set me up to give the spectrum answer (either that or he was more obtuse that I thought). Indeed, I'm quite convinced that Kinsey didn't go nearly far enough. Human sexuality is far more complicated than a single spectrum, both as to attraction and as to actual practice. The physicists don't actually agree on the answer to that question at this point in time. There is experimental evidence that suggests the former (no, I'm not kidding).
  4. When they can't host and don't have a car and are a half-hour drive or more from me... I've done it. More than once. In fact, one of the principals is now an occasional FB (but he moved even farther away from me). Generally worth it, and I can still manage the gymnastics though I'm not as flexible as I once was. VW Beetle is a bit tougher than a Ford Ranger, but they both work. Given the option, I'd rather do it outside the vehicle - it's so much easier on the legs - but a lot of guys aren't cool with that.
  5. Re: banned words It's not that they are offensive, it's that they are/were used as "code" for practices that are not welcome on the site (yes, there are such things, even on a site like this). The list is confidential (having it public information would defeat the purpose). For a detailed discussion:
  6. I am gobsmacked (and I'm American) by the appalling degree of rudeness these people put on display. And your last line definitely speaks truth. I've got pretty much ordinary love handles for someone my age (over 50), but am not in the bear category (more like wolf). However, I am very fond of the guys who are in the bear category - the model in the ad you posted is case in point: my reaction is "YUM!" So I find it tragic that my favorite playmates are being driven away from the venues I frequent... On my darker days, I'm thoroughly convinced that western civilization has outlived its usefulness.
  7. If you like muscle bears... The moaning is a little much for my taste, but these guys are hot AF https://thisvid.com/videos/hot-bear-fucking-jonah/
  8. I always wanted to have bare sex (my first time was bare, back in '85). I just knew with my brain that it was risky. So I was judicious - and mostly didn't, until around '98. At that point I gradually got more comfortable with the risk and did play bare some of the time, until PrEP came along in around 2012 and changed the landscape. Ironically, my ex (dated from about '00 to '03, long distance, non-monogamous), whom I lured over to the raw sex camp, wound up seroconverting sometime around when we broke up or a little after that, while I was still negative. I'm guessing he might have been at greater risk, because he had poor dental health and hemorrhoids. HAART kept him a healthy poz man, though - he died of a heart attack.
  9. Essentially by IP Address. ...which is why using a VPN will get around the blocks. The VPN host is connecting to the network, so the sites you connect to see its IP address rather than yours.
  10. Thanks, @rawTOP, for this excellent explanation of the superior technological approach. Now I have solid ammunition to use when dealing with my legislators. Because just saying "this law is a bad idea" is at least helpful - they do, to some extent, listen to their constituency - but having a solid case to make for a BETTER solution carries much more weight.
  11. If you were wearing more than a "lone ranger" type eye mask, I'd probably pass on fucking with you, for the simple reason that a lot of my erotic attraction to a man is wired to the face. Faceless bodies just aren't hot to me, and fragmentary body parts even less so. And I get to see so very many of them these days on cruise apps LOL
  12. I don't believe that moderators can reliably use your IP address to know whether you're a former member of a site or forum, for two reasons: Multiple people can share the same IP address. A single person can have many IP addresses even in the case where they are not using a VPN, because mobile devices in general will have varying IP addresses depending on their current connectivity, and wired internet providers often use dynamic addressing.
  13. If you have posted a lot of images as attachments in your posts (i.e. not in the Galleries), you may have run out of attachment space. You can fix this by deleting some of them. If you look in the dropdown menu from your screen name (in the upper left of the display, right next to your avatar pic), you will find "My Attachments". Open this panel and it allows you to manage all of the images you have attached.
  14. The laws of the U.S. (where this site is hosted and where @ErosWired resides) are clear, in point of fact, that copyright violations can be prosecuted both civilly and criminally. I looked it up. https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#506
  15. Moderator: This thread is in the health forum, NOT in the HIV fetish forum. Please keep posts here on the original topic.
  16. Points last a long time to remind us to abide by the rules, because some people have a tendency to forget. Often. Some points last longer than others, because they are for an infraction that is bigger problem for the site. Please note that the restrictions that sometimes come with an infraction DO NOT last nearly so long.
  17. Looks like this one was taken down 😕 Love public restroom action here, too - keep 'em coming!
  18. This article gives some ways to do that: https://imagesuggest.com/blog/resize-photos-iphone/
  19. Illegal and "fucked up" don't qualify as "evil" in my book. Immoral does (by definition). However, as I see it, morality (as opposed to ethics) is personal and situational. That's precisely why I think legislating morality is a seriously bad idea. I've done quite a few illegal and fucked up things, and even a few that were pushing the boundaries of my own morals. I've never done anything I would construe as "evil". The illegal stuff I won't mention here (even though the statute of limitations has probably expired). Fucked up... well, there was the time I was in the sex club and pointed the guy who insisted on a condom to my bottle of mineral oil when he was looking for lube. And the time I pissed all over a guy in the middle of a college classroom (after hours). And way way way too many instances of public sex in parks, restrooms, an elevator, a graveyard... Did I mention the time I got thrown out of Sears?
  20. We (the site staff) don't do anything of that kind. You are welcome to send private messages with photos of the both of you together, or of course you could just use email or text. You are also allowed to post public pictures of the both of you, but they must be in the straight/bi forums.
  21. Per @rawTOP's original post at the beginning of the topic:
  22. It has an edit button. It's active for about 10 minutes after you make a post. You should have been able to edit your post by clicking on the "..." menu at the upper right corner and selecting "edit". If you don't see "edit" in that menu, use the report option to request that a moderator make the change for you.
  23. Open the Cum Dump Network topic in the general forum Enter "dallas" in the search box at the upper right Make sure the pulldown menu on the search box is set to "This Topic" Click the search button I got 23 results just now.
