    Could I get a bit more clarification on what's considered "Chem Sex Fiction" and what isn't?

    I've noticed a number of posts in recent weeks (more in the Bug Chasing forum than the General Sex Stories one, but occasionally in either) where there are (what seem to me to be) clear references to things like meth and/or crack, and they aren't being moved....
    I know of at least one member here who deliberately avoids the Chem Sex & "Enhancements" forums precisely because he's in recovery and wants to avoid anything that might trigger a relapse. But when that element is allowed to leak into the other forums, it leaves the choice of run that risk, or stop using the site.

    Just how blatant does the drug usage in a post have to be before it gets moved to a more appropriate forum?

    Enabling that avoidance is precisely the purpose for having the separate sections, and according to the rules as stated, there aren't exceptions.

    Beyond that one post (and its mirrors at the top of the cordoned areas), I can not find further detail. I did find a long-ago post by @drscorpio referencing an FAQ for the overall forum, but following the link gave a page-could-not-be-found error, and a search for "FAQ" turned up only one post, and that irrelevant.

    From what I've seen in practice, folks feel comfortable with poppers, alcohol, and marijuana in the general areas of the forum, and it seems to be that those drugs (which are legal, or at least tolerated, at least in many places) are exceptions.

    Given the purpose of the rule in the first place, I'd say if it seems to you, as a person who knows people who are in recovery, that a post outside the cordoned area is a significant issue or risk for your friends, it's totally appropriate to report it and let a moderator move it. That certainly will harm no one.

    That said, this reply is my opinion only, and I think a lot of us would appreciate it (I know I would) if RawTOP (though he's busy, I know) or a moderator could update the rules thread with a bit more detail about what is or is not allowed, vis a vis drug references.

    OK, I feel certain that I've seen this adorable cub before in a professional porn somewhere, but I can't remember who the hell he is. Anyone know offhand? This snap is from a scene on pornhub. The tatts are pretty distinctive.

     

    Well, I finally found the pornhub scene again (the original post above was from before I created an account, so the scene didn't get saved in history). After a couple of hours of poking around related videos and so on, I finally winkled it out...

    The adorable cub is (a rather young looking) Parker Allen! But the tatts look kind of wrong because in the clip, you can see his inner arm (unusual in porn) and that fish tattoo is prominent - normally you would never see or notice it. Also they look wrong because in the posted version of the clip the image is mirrored, so everything is on the wrong side.

    And, I figured out which scene it is... it's a private clip from David-SF, who just happens to be the top in this scene! It's posted on his Xtube, and has been a favorite of mine for ages. I even linked it here in the xtube vids thread. So now I have to feel stupid because I didn't figure it out.

    But it's still such a super hot scene. I could look into Parker Allen's adorable eyes all night long, blowing multiple loads while doing so. YUM.

    Gee, maybe I'm getting a little stir-crazy with all this shelter-in-place stuff, what do you think? 😉

    Please forgive this if it is in the wrong place, but I  could not find forum for this.  I have 2 questions or problems. 

    1.  I am trying to get my confirmation email, but it is not sending it.  I know the email address is correct, because it allowed me to change my password with a link that was sent to my email.  Is ithe sending delayed compared to password reset emails?

    2.  I'm trying to search the site for references to a particular actor that's not in the Actor List.  When I  select SEARCH nothing happens.  Is this a site issue or possibly a browser issue?

     

    Thanks for your help.

    1. Check your spam mailbox - sometimes messages get put there based on the content.

    2. I think the site is data-driven, so if he's not in the list, he's probably not in the DB, at least under that name. An administrator can maybe confirm this. Not sure why the search doesn't work, but it does that to me, too, pretty much no matter what I put in.

  4. Thank you for this, RawTOP!  I had someone approach me for a hookup a couple of weekends ago and replied that I was staying home that weekend ("stay the fuck at home" was what I said), and got a rude reply basically accusing me of being a snowflake (which I wasn't - I'm not concerned much about my personal safety, I just know how to do math and why distancing is necessary). I bitch slapped him into next week, and had been feeling a shadow of guilt about it. Guilt dispersed!

  5. Yeah, this really sucks!

    The SSRIs and often the SNRIs can cause ED and  anorgasmia... as I sadly know from personal experience. Keeping the dose as low as possible helps. Viagra and its relatives can treat the ED, but not the anorgasmia. I'm working on seeking alternatives but my health plan (so far) refuses to pay for them. I'll follow up if I find something that works.

    I have secondhand information that wellbutrin does not cause this side effect at least for some. I was discussing antidepressants with my mom and she volunteered that she switched from Fluoxetine for this reason. In her 70s. GO MOM! I knew I came by my libido honestly 😉

    Then why is this scare? Just curious that's it. Not interested in starting a debate just sciences please.

    1. Because Covid-19 is far more contagious than HIV and can therefore spread very fast.

    2. Because with a hospitalization rate of 20%, Covid-19 has the potential to completely overwhelm the healthcare system (as has already happened in Italy).

    It's not just gay people who need to be avoiding contact. It's everyone. I did the math yesterday for the US (based on CDC numbers) and if we don't slow it down, we could easily have 40 million cases by the end of April. I know that sounds ridiculous, but honestly, that's the way the math works out. 😕

  7. Mine's 8x6 (actually more like 7.5x5.5 except when I'm super excited and it goes to full mast), and most guys seem to think I'm "very hung". I've certainly seen quite a few bigger ones, but it's well above average. It's a really nice size for sex, and guys seem to enjoy it a lot.

    I'm nothing like a strict bottom, but I enjoy bottoming very much and really don't want to top all the time. So it's really annoying that a lot of supposedly versatile guys just want to bottom when they meet it. Especially if they're oral, not anal, or if they think it's too big to take anally, because it's not super sensitive and oral topping doesn't usually get me off.

    The other time it's a drawback is when it won't stay really hard - that happens quite a bit with tighter bottoms or if I'm not that into a guy for whatever reason, or sometimes just because my various meds are causing issues. If it were smaller, I think it would be less trouble that way, but the way it is, I generally can't get back into a guy if it's not good and hard.

    So, some good, some bad. My only regret is that I wish I'd realized at a younger age that it was above average and that many guys are attracted by that. In my 20s I had no clue.

  8. There is very little reason to think that anti-HIV medications would be likely to work against Covid-19 (or any other coronaviruses), because they are in a different family of viruses that have a different life cycle. In HIV, the RNA of the infecting virus is transcribed to DNA (by a virus enzyme) and inserted into the host's DNA, and only later is that DNA copied out into RNA for new viruses (by the host's enzymes). In Coronaviruses, the RNA of the infecting virus is copied directly into the new virus RNA (by the virus's enzymes). So in one case the virus is making DNA and in the other it is making RNA, and the two enzymes are consequently very different and unlikely to be blocked by the same drug molecule.

    Worth a try, but unlikely to be of too much use.

    In better news, this explanation does *NOT* apply to drugs against Ebola and Influenza (e.g. Tamiflu), because both of those viruses use the same replication strategy described above for coronaviruses. So they would be much more likely to have effectiveness against Covid-19.

    did the site admin(s) make this up or is it a known practice that is just new to me?  ...

    curious about how ppl think this system impacts the traffic and content. as a new member it's kind of a barrier to participate. but sometimes barriers are good to raise the quality. 

    The software that runs the site has the capability and RawTOP set it up in an effort to reduce spam. It's pretty much a constant battle with social media of any kind to keep bots and trolls from spamming the site into uselessness, and the perpetrators of such keep upping the ante.  The current member levels here are "New", "Junior", regular (no prefix) Member, and "Senior". I just kicked over into senior myself, and I've been here for something like 8 years I think. But "New" only lasts a short while. Just keep posting and you'll get to Junior before you know it.

    I'm not sure a lot of you understand how studies work and what is being published also because it's published doesn't mean it is science facts.

    I'm sure a lot of people on this site don't understand that. I, however, do understand both of those things (I have a PhD in science).  So I went back and re-read the studies carefully.  Before, I had simply posted them so that others could do so, as I researched this subject and made my own decision about what to do quite a while ago.

    Your assertions regarding the French study are completely spurious. The "estimates" they are referring to are simply the overall hazard estimates for the study period (in each arm), based on the actual number of people in each arm of the the study who contracted syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. The "PEP" referred to in the study is the doxycycline itself; it has nothing to do with HIV PEP (all of the participants in the study were HIV-negative and taking Truvada for PrEP). What they found is pretty much exactly what I stated: Doxycyline as PEP appears to be somewhat effective at preventing syphilis and chlamydia, but not gonorrhea. Quoting from the actual publication:

    Quote

    among high-risk MSM using PrEP with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine for HIV prevention, the use of doxycycline PEP following condomless sexual activity was associated with a significant decrease in the occurrence of a new bacterial STI, with an overall 47% relative reduction in the risk of acquiring a new bacterial STI (gonorrhoea, chlamydia, or syphilis)

    I will add that, with respect to overuse of antibiotics and the potential of bacteria developing resistance, the study authors also limited the total amount of doxycycline to be used by the participants to no more than 3 doses a week.

  11. Several studies have been done on this, and it appears to be effective. It is a single 200mg dose (ie both tablets together) and preferably within 24 hours post-exposure (that's the protocol the original study in France ca. 2015 used). It appears to be effective against syphilis and chlamydia, but not so much against gonorrhea.

    The French study: [think before following links] https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(17)30725-9/fulltext
