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! 😈

I don't want to give up my cell number for Telegram .. i tried using a google number and got banned in about a minute

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.

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).

If I've read every story in a Forum, is there an option to mark them all as "Unread" so that I can enjoy them all again?

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.

You completely whiffed on my comment...

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.

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.

Is there a way to fix this so that it's not tracking ISP only? If I'm coming here on my phone the stupid site thinks I'm in Texas when I'm in Colorado. It should tracking IP address, not ISP.

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.

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?

FWIW:  "fraught" is an adjective, not a noun...

Thus, nothing can ever be merely "fraught".  Something (noun) can be "fraught" with danger, for example.

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

@viking8x6 isn't the Gone info page when loading a profileprofile the final steps for account deletion?

@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.

What scared me most at my last appointment was that she told me several times that this BLIP is the result of me not taking the medication correctly.

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.

Quote

The whole time the doctor insisted on how my long-term treatment is going to fail and that my virus gonna be resistant to the medications. and that if I don't stop having unprotected sex, I will have a very serious problem

Quote

She made me very scared about even syphilis, she told me that I could get other types of syphilis whose antibiotics don't work well

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.

going to this medical appointment traumatized me because it seems like the doctor wanted to shock me all the time, leave me with fear...

I don't want to go back to this doctor. I felt that I was being judged

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.

overdose on tanning radiation

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.

All of those sound good to me. Eye contact is a plus, but so is being bitten on the back of the neck...

In practice, I'm happy to get fucked at all, because - being versatile - guys more often than not want me to top.

It probably is just taking some time to heal. You might ask your doc whether a mild OTC cortisone cream would be appropriate (I think it would).

I find the skin on and around my glans is sensitive to irritation from friction and sometimes from allergens (eczema). It's one reason I wish I had not been circumcised as an infant.

I would only note that the Mozilla team in no way "started the internet," which dates back to the late 1960's at a time when Mark Andreessen, the guy who created Netscape (and moved on to Mozilla) wasn't even born yet.

What Andreessen did was create one of the first graphical browsers - but that was in 1994, by which time the internet was already 25+ years old. 

What is colloquially referred to as "the internet" was originally called the world wide web, and was created in 1989 and opened to the public in 1991 (per wikipedia, which is right about this one, as we were there). Before that there was no such thing as a web site; one could transfer files and email (via their separate protocols), but there was no concept of a publicly viewable hypertext document that could be rendered as what we now know as a web page.

Heartbreak is inevitable. And a rite of passage.

Glad you have moved beyond wallowing.

Having had mine broken a few times, and broken a few myself, I'm offering free advice (worth its weight in gold) -

DO get so attached going forward. Yes, heartbreak hurts, it hurts like death if the love was truly good, but it's worth it. Love is the best thing there is.

Hi BZ, whenever I try to respond to a chat request I get the following (screenshot). Any ideas?

 

The chat room has a bug that causes it to throw that error for some users. See the topic above.

The chat room is NOT the same as a private message from another user. Those should work fine, but you may not have the privilege to send one yet - it is granted to new users after they have participated in the site for a little while (this keeps the spammers and bots down to a minimum). You can certainly post a reply on the sender's activity page if they have allowed others to post there, or on your own activity page in any case.

To add pics on a personal message, you have to post them in a gallery and then attach them to the message. The sequence goes something like this:

1. Create a new public album (use the "Create" pull-down at the top to create a new photo album)
2. Upload your images into it
3. Select the image you want to add to your message
4. Copy the URL from the browser address bar
5. Create the private message
6. Position the cursor where you want the image inserted
7. Click "Insert image from URL"
8. Paste the URL in the box
9. Click "insert into post"

None of us know either...

Could perhaps be this one

As far as I can tell, it's a swim team, not soccer, but there's not a ton of discussion about the sport the team is officially playing, if you get my drift...

What happened to that one story of the college soccer jock getting pozzed and giving it to the rest of the team? I think there’s a line about how half the team is out with an “unseasonal flu” or something like that. 

Maybe this one?

It appears that this bug is still causing trouble. It's a database error that has been going on for some time. I don't know the details of when/why it happens.

@BigBearSean - you are preaching to the choir. In a lot of such cases, there literally aren't appropriate places to place individual posts that are edge cases or are intersectional (e.g. hetero chemsex). If you have a case like that, make your best guess and if you're in doubt about whether it's a sensitive topic, feel free to report it yourself and have a moderator weigh in. If you report things yourself, you will not get a penalty.

As for revising and improving the structure, we moderators can only suggest things; @rawTOP has to make any actual changes. His intent (for quite some time now) has been to reboot the site entirely using a completely new infrastructure, because the old infrastructure is antiquated and is really not that well-suited for the purposes he's putting it to here anyway. Therefore he's not focused on making the current site better, so much as making the new one better than the old one. Then of course he also was out for a big chunk of time last year for health reasons.
