  1. Does not sound to me like you were cold. Honest, yes. Perhaps slightly hasty, but if you had clear knowledge without mulling it over that you were unlikely to develop any feelings for him, then it was definitely good to say so.

    Unfortunately, unrequited love and being fuck buddies really don't go together well, and yes, you probably did lose a good lay. That's nobody's fault ("not even the Romans"), and your ex-FB sounds like he is smart and honorable and handled it reasonably well under the circumstances.

  2. Justifying bareback is actually pretty easy. Many of us who do, simply believe that the benefits outweigh the risks.

    Personally, I used condoms for a couple of decades. When PrEP became available, I jumped for it. In my estimation, the risk of harm from it is clearly outweighed by the quality of life benefit I get from going bare.

    Nothing in life is safe. Every action you take has some risk attached to it. But the early 21st century developed world, even for sexually active MSM, is a whole lot safer than some people would have you believe.

  3. Happy Independence Day 2024, fellow BZ'ers!

    As our felonious ex-President is running for office again this year, I am refreshing this thread and reminding you that advocacy for persons and parties inimical to the LGBTQ+ community are not appropriate on this site. Please review this topic if you're not clear on it.

    To put it bluntly, any support of far right ideologies or politicians will be seen by the moderating team as an attack on the gay community and dealt with as such. As always, reasoned, fact-based political discussion is still completely OK (just make sure you quote quality sources with good data).

    We've a pretty great system in place that was designed to do a lot for the many rather than massive lots for the few. 

    I will quibble with that. The American governmental system was originally designed to further the interests of the propertied class. It has since evolved to do a lot for the proletariat. That said, the propertied class still pretty much has the reins firmly in its hands. And that's true regardless of which political party happens to be in power.

    Is there a way to block someone … not to just avoid the opportunity to communication with the person, but also to avoid seeing the person’s posts and replies?

    Yes. You can "ignore" a user, which does just that: "Ignoring a user allows you to block some or all of their content from showing. Users are not notified that you are ignoring them."

    Select "ignored users" from the drop-down menu on your screen name (upper left of the main page) and add them to the list. You can set preferences for types of content to block.

    Since the genetic material from both fathers as well as the surrogate man are all poz, would the baby be poz with the angel strain from birth?

    I'm just counting on the new advanced biometric technology to prevent that 🙂 I don't want poz babies, I want neg  boys who need to be pozzed by someone 😈

    Actually probably not. Women with undetectable HIV give birth to neg babies about 90% of the time.

    ...while it is true that Hamas Scum use civilians as shields, IMO IDF could start a more targeted campaign.  Less bombs and more infiltration and finding HAMAS within the civilians and taking the actual enemy out.

    Wearing my cloak of blackest cynicism, I'd say: They could certainly do that. But Netanyahu would never live to see it completed, or enjoy the legacy of it. If one can enjoy one's legacy in whatever passes for a hereafter in his cosmology.

  8. Hot off the presses, a report on antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea in Europe:

    https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-events/antimicrobial-resistance-gonorrhoea-rising-threat-treatment-efficacy

    There are significant amounts of resistance to azithromycin and to ciprofloxacin (note that in all probability the latter would also be resistant to ofloxacin). However, they're probably trying to use these agents whenever they are effective, in order to prevent the development/spread of strains that are resistant to cephalosporins (which right now are still rare).

    It is interesting to note that the reported caseload for gonorrhea in Europe increased by 48% from 2021 to 2022. Probably that was partly post-pandemic, of course, but still that's a substantial increase!

  9. I use Cialis - prescribed for 20mg but usually take only half a tablet, which seems to be sufficient mostly. I figure on those occasions where I'm feeling a need for a performance boost, it's usually an outing of some kind (hotel, sex club, or bookstore) - if it's just a one-off I wouldn't bother. Hence the longer duration of action is a plus.

    In my opinion the potential downsides are needing to avoid poppers (which I occasionally do enjoy) and the potential for headaches (which don't seem to be much problem for me at 10mg dosage). The advantage of consistently maintaining an erection is worth it - I can almost always get one, but going limp in the middle of the action is really a buzzkill, especially when I'm consistently expected to be topping for at least part of the scene.

    What's the progression of anal chlamydia if left undiagnosed and untreated?

    Most of the data out there are on vaginal chlamydia.

    The body can sometimes (10-45% of the time in different studies) clear it on its own, but that can take a year or more.

  11. As the tooltip says, it takes you to the next topic in the forum that has content you haven't read yet. That's so it's easy to find (in the forum) stories or topics that have new chapters or comments/discussion.

    If you just want to find brand new topics, it works better to use sort tool in a forum index and sort by start date.

    For what it's worth, all of this functionality is provided by a rather antiquated third-party software platform, so we don't actually have much control over what bugs/features they decide to fix.

  12. The current CDC recommendation in the US is intramuscular ceftriaxone, because azithomycin resistance in gonorrhea has been increasing substantially over the last decade. So back to the doctor with you!

    Changes in azithromycin susceptibility. Azithromycin resistance in N. gonorrhoeae is an increasing concern. Genomic epidemiology data confirm that azithromycin resistance can result from multiple mechanisms (23). Nationally, the percentage of N. gonorrhoeae isolates with reduced susceptibility (MIC ≥2.0 μg/mL) increased more than sevenfold over 5 years (from 0.6% in 2013 to 4.6% in 2018) (Figure) (1). During 2018, among men who have sex with men, the proportion of GISP isolates with an azithromycin alert value was 8.6%, compared with 2.9% among men who have sex with women only (1). Studies have associated development of reduced azithromycin susceptibility with azithromycin exposure among patients with N. gonorrhoeae infection (24,25).

  13. The prequel was removed because it contained erotic descriptions of underage sex, which is not allowed even in fiction anywhere on Breeding Zone. That is why the link to it no longer works.

    You can find out more about this particular rule here. Long story short, it's illegal and so we must ban it to prevent the site from being shut down by the moral police.

    Well she seemed to be in her late 30s or 40s.  The other comment she made was that is was sad to see patients coming into the office who were losing their hair.  I don't know if interferon causes hair loss but that may have been what she was referring to.

    Yes, hair loss is one of the (many many) side effects of interferon. It also can have some really serious ones like heart damage and irreversible high blood pressure.

    The new drugs have only been available since 2014.
