Sounds like sex with men opened the doorway to something else... Intimacy with men.

In my (not particularly humble) opinion, people's gender programming for emotional intimacy is every bit as varied and flexible as their gender programming for sexual arousal. Furthermore, the two don't necessarily match up. My sex drive is mostly (not exclusively) male oriented (call it "gay with a dash of pansexual"), but my emotional drive is pretty much gender-neutral.

Then if you want to make it even more complicated, you can throw monogamy vs polyamory into the mix - and those, too, can be separately oriented for relationships and for sex...

So, what it means to finally have intimate feelings for another man is whatever the feeling is for you. Another part of the amazing human being that you are. Enjoy it! Share it! Celebrate it!

While I understand the thrill that can be had from a totally anonymous scene, most of the time I prefer to exchange face pics. Not so much to identify ("know"?) the person, but because a big chunk of my sexual response is visual, and a lot more of that has to do with the face than any other body part. If key facial features are right, I can go apeshit over guys that I otherwise would not give a second glance, and that translates directly to sexual enjoyment and performance.  Side note, smell used to be really important for me also, but my sense in that department was badly damaged about 15 years ago and now that's no longer true.

By getting an education.

I'll second that recommendation 100%

But I'll also add: By using that education to make an informed decision (as opposed to an alarmed decision) about what you want to do. I say this because while there are many, many dangers in this world, an awful lot of them (including the risk of illness from STIs) are risks that are worth taking (or at least many people think they are). Only you can be the judge for you... but there is no such thing as perfect safety on this side of the grave.

For BZ folk who are comfortable with taking poz loads without PrEP, this is an opportunity to use that willingness to benefit others by participating in trials. Consider it! Given the numbers enrolled, I think it's still in Phase I, but they will be needing many more volunteers if it advances.

Looks like cabotegravir injectable is now approved for PrEP

Very well done!

Boxer briefs or commando for every day (the fewer clean ones I have left, the more likely it will be commando). Briefs occasionally, but I am constantly frustrated by leg elastic that gets weak and lets my balls and/or dick slide down the leg. Bikini briefs (with good elastic!) when I want to put the front goods on display. A jock sometimes when I'm working out, or when I want to put the rear goods on display.

And at home between late June and early September, frequently nothing at all, or just a lungi.

I read them. When they have anything there to read. Which is far too seldom on Grindr.

Sometimes I miss the days when only the intellectual elite were on the internet.

If it's not Backroom material and doesn't fit in one of the new fetish sections, it belongs here.

This post from @rawTOP explains how to decide where something goes (as well as other useful things like what's not allowed at all):

I'm pretty certain that "Laguna Bareback Boys" is a commercial video from back in the '80s (or possibly very early '90s). Less certain that it was from one of the better-known studios, maybe Catalina or Higgins. Looks like it's so old that Google can't find anything on it, though. Someone else who was around back in the day may be able to confirm or deny this.

Went to the tube sites and looked at the ones you were referring to. Definitely not the thing I'm remembering.  And "Laguna" is the former name of Catalina videos from way back in the early 80s, so I probably just got that mixed up in the titles. Nothing back then was explicitly labeled "Bareback" anyway, because they were all that way until AIDS became evident, and then none of them were.

@rawTOP explains at length in this thread:

TL;DR: It's not going to happen right away. He has to do these manually.

Also, the platform software had a glitch that broke the process entirely, which may or may not be fixed yet.

Boy, that was a lot quicker than my road from (nearly) hairless at 18 to what I've got now.

Are you actually saying that "true tops" can't be poz men? 

That was how I read it, too. Someone better tell Magic Johnson. Righto... an educator's work is never done.

This one's excellent IMO - both top and bottom are super hot, each in his own way.

Anyone know where this six-man orgy scene is from? It's clearly a studio job, and a couple of the guys are pretty recognizable (though I personally don't know who they are), but I couldn't quickly find anything on the databases that seemed to match.

For those who have mentioned missing features they want, the app store usually has a way to send feedback to the developer, and developers are usually extremely happy to get the feedback, even if they can't implement a feature right away. Especially as BZ people are all going to be what developers call "power users" and therefore ahead of the average-user curve.

This has some really great shots and the audio is pretty good, too IMO

Two years in... HELL, yes!

Anyone know who these guys are (and what scene this capture is from)? I think all three of them are smokin' hot, though the scene, to my personal disappoinment, ends in a lot of cum all over rather than inside.

Interesting. I used to go there pretty regularly back in the late 90s, mostly because it was a lot more convenient than SoMA or Berkeley.

Just at a guess, I'd say they are putting their bets on the tourist and travel market as opposed to the locals, who are far less concentrated in the Castro area than they were a few decades ago. The current location is pretty invisible from the touristy part of the Castro anyway, so it's neither obvious enough (in the heart of the Castro) nor convenient enough (near the downtown hotels) to have good pull in that market.

Trying to load an individual image from the User Gallery, I get no joy - blank white page at the URL [think before following links] https://breeding.zone/gallery/image/91572-69b824f8-e387-49b6-baf0-453747fb0772jpeg/?lightbox=1 (though it appears to work fine when it gets embedded here). My purpose was to leave a reaction and/or comment, but maybe one cannot do that there? FWIW, when I use the browser back arrow from there, the gallery page loads blank white also, and must be reloaded to work properly.

Delightful!!

I agree with 10/10.  I'll add that my agreement with #10 would be significantly stronger if it were tweaked to include the idea of consensual risk (one that is surely familiar to most members of this forum!)
