  1. @hntnhole - I don't think your most recent response was helpful in making this topic one that will elicit whatever thoughts the "anti-woke" crowd actually does have about the question. While I'm sure some people who use "woke" as a criticism and a denigration are the sort you describe, the purpose of this topic is to presume that right-leaning people on BZ are not of that ilk, and to ask them to help us understand where they are coming from.
  2. Trust me, if I didn't have a sense of humor I'd have run screaming for the hills about 20 minutes after I started being a moderator. Presumably said right wing people have something in mind as to what it means. Given that it obviously isn't what the various left-wing and historically educated responses in this topic have outlined, I'm still waiting to hear what it might be. Crickets on that so far. And just to further clarify my question, I'm NOT interested in what the right-wing media machine means by it. I'm interested in how actual right-wing people (who participate in this forum) understand it.
  3. As far as I know, fictional stories about rape or non-consensual sex are allowed, within limits. They can be posted in whichever of the fiction sections is most appropriate. Note that the rules about HIV fetish, enhancements, and straight/bi/trans-fem sex all apply as usual. The most cogent rules are in the new "harm to the community" policy that @rawTOP put in about 3 years ago. The topic about that policy is linked below. The link points to a flowchart for deciding whether your particular topic is allowed under the policy. The part of the flowchart relevant to your question is section 4.
  4. It looks that way from where you stand. Presumably it does not look that way from a MAGA supporter's living room. Which is exactly the point of this topic.
  5. Hey guys, I'm hearing a lot from people who are pro-"woke". That's not so much what I'm interested in with this topic. Why? Because what I want to know is what's objectionable about "woke" (to the people who consider it so). That's something that cannot be heard inside the liberal "echo chamber". So y'all conservative guys, I ask you again - what does "woke" mean to you, and why is it something you reject?
  6. A number of comments have been made in other topics that object to "wokeism" and things "woke". As someone who more often than not votes liberal, but sometimes only because I object to the policies put forth by the conservatives, I'm curious as to what exactly it is you (the ones who made those comments) mean when you say "woke". I'm quite sure that you would refer to at least some of my friends that way, but I'm rather in the dark about what it is that you find so objectionable. Please illuminate me. As an aside, abuse and denigration are not the way to convince anyone who currently holds a different opinion. But you knew that.
  7. The link was broken. You can find the original here:
  8. Republican by registration, not by politics (I live in a red state). I consider myself "Liberaltarian". I certainly won't vote for the orange sociopath. Not particularly keen on Biden either. It's fairly clear that my wishes and interests won't be addressed in the Presidential election. Further down the ticket, things get more interesting... especially in the primary. Get out and vote, everyone!
  9. I've definitely had issues with canola oil on sheets. Only a problem with porous materials, so if your sling was rubber or synthetic, or some kind of well-sealed leather, it would not have been an issue. If I understand it correctly, it's because any kind of unsaturated oil polymerizes (slowly) on exposure to air, and once it does it's no longer water soluble no matter how much detergent you use (or soluble in anything else, for that matter). It's the same reaction that happens in oil-based paint when it dries. It doesn't happen with completely saturated fats, nor with (saturated) petroleum derivatives.
  10. Moderator's Note: While this topic is fiction/fantasy, there are still topics that are OFF-LIMITS. Please refrain from posting them here. If you need a refresher as to topics that are not allowed on BZ at all, please review the rules.
  11. Not counting playing around with my brother and the kid down the road (which didn't go beyond oral and didn't seem like "the real thing"), 19 with a female, 20 with a male, if I recall correctly. Anal sex might have been 21; I'd have to ask the guy in question to be sure. All of them enthusiastically, and way overdue, though given the timing of the AIDS epidemic that may have saved my life. And speaking of virginity... here's an amusing take on it - the bit that starts at 01:00 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97O1P3IAdNY
  12. I haven't looked, but as it involves both straight sex and substance use, there is no place on the site where it would be allowed under the current rules. It was probably removed.
  13. I always thought Vaseline was too viscous, even when it warmed to body temperature. Vegetable oils are good, but have much more tendency (IMO) to stain fabric. A few years ago I tried mineral oil (which many pharmacies sell as a laxative), and found it great, although a little thinner than would be optimal. But totally non-drying and washes out easily with detergent. Many years ago (in the late 80s) they used to sell a lube product that had a consistency far more similar to precum than anything I've seen since. It would form long strands when dripping out of its container (non-Newtonian behavior for you geeks out there) and truly resembled the real thing. It was made from some kind of modified cellulose, I think, and preserved with grapefruit extract - synthetic polymers replaced those not long thereafter (probably because they were cheaper) and I haven't seen anything like it since. It reminded me of a certain gentleman I met in a college bathroom, whose precum dripped in exactly similar long strands (a foot or more) and for whom I had an unholy fascination. I wanted him to fuck me so badly. Bare, though I don't think I comprehended that completely at the time. Those fluids in me... Such a naughty twink I was! 😈
  14. Alligators have to eat, too. And the planet has an enormous surplus. Second only to chickens...
  15. I had that issue too. I decided to risk it (feeling I could probably trust the provider). After poking around a bit more, it turns out that while they do require a real cell number, they don't require you to publish it (or any other information). So you can use it anonymously to any of the people you're chatting with, if you want to. I also discovered that if you allow it to access your contacts, it's rather convenient, as quite a lot of your old friends may be using it. I wound up getting in touch with someone I haven't seen in decades this way, so it turned out to be a real bonus. It's easy to forget that while online chat services are great for nasty sexy talk, they're also handy for catching up with old friends, discussing their coming out as non-binary, planning board game and disc golf sessions, shaming one another into going to the gym... well, you get the idea.
  16. They are not necessarily connected. You can have casual sex with or without barebacking, and you can have bareback sex whether you engage in casual sex or are monogamous. To my recollection, I've done all of the combinations (i.e. had casual sex when I exclusively used condoms for it, had casual sex when I exclusively barebacked, had a monogamous relationship where I barebacked).
  17. I don't believe so. You can, however, sort them by start date, which allows you to read through them in order without regard to whether you've read them before or when the last reply was.
  18. I'm just going to point out here that I have absolutely no clue what you might mean by this use of the word "whiff". And that's after searching multiple dictionaries and the urban dictionary.
  19. It was quite clear, thanks! You might want to repost it here, to clarify for others as well. What confused me was that you used "internet" above when "social media [platform]" would be closer to what you were describing.
  20. The platform software does track IP address, not ISP. If you can get your ISP to use a "clean" IP address it won't block you.
  21. Just playing devil's advocate - can you explain what you'd have in mind for it that wouldn't be accomplished by using the existing .gay and/or .lgbt top-level domains?
  22. However, "fraught" can be simple (i.e. non-verb-linking) adjective, applied to a noun, as in @seekingversatility's post "edits were fraught" (the edits being the noun, i.e. these are fraught edits, i.e. difficult edits). See sense 2 in the Collins entry https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/fraught
  23. @birthdaywoes it does appear that you requested your account be deleted back on Dec 4th. If you didn't want that, you should ask to have it reversed.
  24. You have the facts. If in fact you were taking the medication every day, she's wrong. If she didn't believe you when you told her that you were, she's a bad doctor, unless there's some good reason for her to believe that you're mistaken or lying. Both of these suggestions are greatly exaggerated. Here in the U.S.A. less than 1/3 of socioeconomically advantaged people living with HIV die of HIV related causes (2017 numbers). That rate is still improving and it includes cases of HIV that are NOT treated. I couldn't easily find numbers for only cases that ARE treated, but they must be lower. Multi-drug resistant syphilis is not, as far as I know, significantly prevalent right now, although MDR gonorrhea is. The main problem with syphilis is that its symptoms are frequently subtle and similar to other diseases, so it's easy to miss. Regular testing is our best tool for controlling is. Does her manner of talking about it encourage you to test regularly? I think not. It certainly sounds like she may have been judging you and she certainly was trying to belittle you and manipulate you. In your place, I would definitely find a new doctor.
  25. Just my opinion, but judging from the hue of his tan, he doesn't even have the patience to do that. Orangish tans are a product of quick-tan lotions that produce skin coloration artificially rather than stimulating a natural tan as UV does.
