New Meaning of “No Load Refused Cumdump?”
AirmaxUK replied to BlackDude's topic in General Discussion
In the past when I've advertised on BBRT, I've used "A hard cock is much more important than age, abs, or inches". Seems to work! -
New Meaning of “No Load Refused Cumdump?”
AirmaxUK replied to BlackDude's topic in General Discussion
For me, I believe that if you're advertising on "Local Parties" or "Quick Connect" you should make sure you're prepared when the ad is posted or prepared in time for the time slot advertised. If you're online looking to hook up then the same thing applies. So, I do try and make sure if I am cruising online, I am at ready to rumble. Advertising on BBRT's Quick Connect is a way to signal that. On other sites it is hard to stand out from the masses as being ready. You wouldn't go out cruising on the heath, meet someone and then say "Oh, I have to go home and clean out first." I think a lot of guys (especially right now) are more into the idea of getting off and are satisfied with validation it brings when someone is interested, rather than go through with it. -
When I talk about ground rules - perhaps those are too harder words for what it is. Guidelines maybe better. We're both human and recognise not perfect: so neither one of us has the right to take the moral high ground over the other. Both having the same understanding of this really helps.

Absolutely. My partner and I share a philosophy that differentiates between "play" and "intimacy". We realised that although well suited for each other in most respects, in terms of kink and sleaze there was some stuff we were into individually, that the other was not. We developed a few ground rules, and it means we can play with others without fear of making the other feel uncomfortable or jealous. It works well for us.

I know at the moment we can't travel much (#Covid) and with enforced closures the scene is in a state of flux. But it's nice to dream. Years back, I used to never go anywhere without my Spartacus book, which listed every bar, club, adult bookstore and gay-friendly business worldwide. That kinda vanished as the internet took over, and while there are some great guides out there that deal with specific places (eg patroc.com in Europe) I wondered if anyone can recommend guides that are US centric or worldwide. I know there are gay travel sites, but they tend to focus on the fluffy twinky places. Particularly I wonder if there is anything that might list the kind of events and places that would appeal to a BZ member... I guess squirt.org has cruising spots. I know there's a site that lists the parties in NYC. But the information is fragmented - it would be nice if it was all in one place - does this exist? eg: was thinking about perhaps a trip to Sawmill in FL and wondered what else of sleazy interest was nearby?

So glad they're still active. I had some many awesome experiences here and at Scheune. I was quite upset when I heard the rumour they'd closed permanently. I can't wait for them to reopen too!
-
The upcoming issue will be that once vaccinated some people will think they have carte blanche to ignore the rules. Truth is even though someone has been vaccinated they can still carry the virus and pass it on but it is less likely they'd have symptoms themselves so more likely to be unaware they are a danger to others.

I think the branding on the yellow one was embossed into the silicone and the red one was printed. Both survived the sauna, SOP, and daily wear. The best option would be embossed, filled with another contrasting colour for durability.

I always thought those rubber wrist bands that were popular a while back were a missed opportunity. They were sold to raise money and were a solid colour usually printed with the name of a charity. I got a load of yellow ones and blue ones which I used to wear on my wrist or ankle in the sauna or in bars, etc. You can get them printed with anything - would be cool if you could get one with the "Breeding Zone" logo or even Biohazard symbols on to wear on left or right wrists (or both) as appropriate to attract others with a similar interest. If guys think it is a good idea, I might get some printed up.

I remember when The Hoist was open in London they had a sportswear-wrestling-gunge party. They had two inflatable pools one with Natrasol (sp?) in it and another for hosing down/cleanup. They advertised that anyone could have a go... being well into this, myself and a friend attended. The evening started with some Portuguese wrestlers putting on a show to get everyone in the mood. Dead keen, we put our names on the list to have a go. When we were called up for our turn, we were told by the promoter - in front of everyone - that we had to go to the back of the queue so that "the hot guys get a go first, and if there is any gunge left at the end of the night maybe you can have a turn". We left and never went back. It's funny how the community can be all about equality and acceptance, yet we can also be our own worst enemies. That said, we have had some great fun at Laboratory in Berlin and The Boots in Antwerp when they have had mud and gunge events. Everyone gets stuck in and generally there's no judgement. Usually in the UK around April-May time we get a lot of heavy rain showers without the weather being wintery cold. This is ideal for outside play in the mud. There's a few of us who like to meet up at Hampstead Heath when it is wet and rainy in rubber, hivis Workgear, or football kit, play in the heavy rain and find some mud. Not sure I would play naked up there as there are too many twigs and stones!

Are things really that much better pre/post COVID?
AirmaxUK replied to tocumdump's topic in General Discussion
The tangible pre-vs post Covid change will be that some venues that offer opportunities to meet and play will close. For instance, London's biggest sauna in Vauxhall has already permanently closed. I know other places are asking for support with GoFundMe pages to try and stay in business. Licensing policy and property prices will make it difficult to replace the ones that close. Not just in London, I hear a few of my favourite haunts in Berlin have permanently closed. These places need our help and support or they will be gone. -
That one sentence says so much.

Unlicensed events need to be very tightly controlled: It only takes one queen to be upset because he didn't get the attention he thought he deserved and contact the authorities as revenge to ruin it for everyone.

I never did the phone hook up boards much: in the UK they tended to use £1/min premium rate numbers and had looooong messages you had to listen to in order to maximise profits... What I did have success with was newspaper small ads, especially in the free papers. Craigslist, but in print. Also ads on Teletext (for those not in the uk, teletext was a free videotext service broadcast on tv channels) yielded some interesting meets. There used to be fetish clubs you subscribed to and they sent printed news letters in the post with personal ads and member lists in the back with phone numbers. In the early days of dial-up internet, IRC text based chat was very popular as well as email mailing lists. That was a really good community, and the two main UK channels, used to have regular events and meet-ups. When it became mainstream it began to become the cyber wasteland you describe...

I want to get strangle fucked, but there is a issue...
AirmaxUK replied to ACURBOT95's topic in General Discussion
I think you have to consider what happens if it goes wrong. Will the other person know what to do? Can you trust them to do it? Going back a few years (the details are a little hazy) there was a really hot guy known as "Chip" who used to do a strip act around the London bars with a bit of a BDSM flavour. I met him a couple of times and he was a really lovely guy. He vanished one day and later I learned he had travelled to the USA to hook up with someone he met with online for a BDSM session that involved breath control. It transpired that during the session something went wrong and he stopped breathing. The guy he was with wasn't paying close attentions and didn't notice for some time... and then panicked when he realised. The panic meant he didn't administer CPR or call emergency services, and the situation became unrecoverable. He ran off leaving chip's body behind. Two days later he took his own life, at which point the investigation revealed what had happened. So it does happen. I always make sure everyone stays sober and knows what to do if the scene goes wrong, and I have to be confident they'll follow through. Some rando guy from the internet invited to a hotel room I think there is a good chance he'll make a run for it, if it goes wrong. Especially if there are drugs involved. You're trusting someone with your life here - so make sure you know them! -
If you scroll back through my activity/posts to I did write a summary, here:
-
Have done blindfold/hooded at the Horsefair at The Boots in Antwerp. They were quite strict about not taking the hoods off so you could see nothing. The atmosphere was electric in anticipation of every touch. I can't wait to do it again when we're out of lockdowns!
-
Agree with this. Mine were quite nicely sensitive to begin with but they have become slightly larger but much less sensitive with use and abuse.

Guys are out there fucking anyway, vaccinated or not. You only need read "my last load" or look at the number of hookup ads on BBRT. Those people who are out there taking such risks anyway aren't going to be swayed by whether someone is vaccinated or not. If I saw it on someone's profile I'd take it to imply that they were more comfortable about meeting others and not just jerking off at home. I don't see it as saying "I'm safe, let's fuck". I think most people in the UK are aware that someone who's vaccinated can be an asymptomatic carrier. But then so can someone who's not been vaccinated. So it doesn't matter. If you're looking to hook up then the risk is on you. My reason to post about getting my shot here was more about giving an honest account and document side any affects I experienced. Hopefully it might encourage others. Probably the bigger reason not to advertise your vaccinated status on social media is Vaccine-Shaming which seems rife on Insta and Twitter and borne out of jealousy. There are valid reasons why some of us are higher up the list than others. Not all health conditions are visible or obvious. If someone wants to swap, I'd more than gladly swap out my underlying health conditions in place of a vaccine shot.

And we'll have people asking "Are you clean?" on Grindr

I think it is a good idea. May be a clue they're really looking to meet rather than make their keyboard sticky.

So, I had the Pfizer shot. Very impressed with the vaccination centre and how it was organised - so efficient. If only the rest of the NHS was like that! I didn't get any aches or anything in the arm it was injected in. Felt low on energy that evening and the next day - back to normal today, I think. Waiting for the call for the follow up shot. In practice it doesn't change much in day to day life, as the rules are still in place, but it does give a little more peace of mind, especially for when lockdown begins to lift.

Central Station in Kings Cross needs our help...
AirmaxUK replied to AirmaxUK's topic in London Metro Area
I had an email yesterday from Martin and Duncan, the owners of Central Station, of which here is an excerpt: My take on this is that they are keeping their options open while trying to make the best use of the resources they have, and there is hope that the clubs might eventually return given appropriate changes in legislation surrounding social distancing. If you mean SOP, then I doubt it - as anyone caught engaging in a bit of yellow play in Backstreet will attest - the venue owner was always very keen to enforce that rule! Here is the original link again: [think before following links] https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-central-station -
Got the call today... I'm getting my vaccine shot tomorrow - couldn't believe they got around to me so quickly: I was convinced it'd be Late March at the earliest.

Central Station in Kings Cross needs our help...
AirmaxUK replied to AirmaxUK's topic in London Metro Area
I can't speak for SOP - but, as I have run some other events at the same venue, I received a letter from the owners last year saying that since the underground space couldn't be used for our events due to social distancing rules, they wanted to put it to other uses to generate some revenue to help make up the shortfall. The information that has been missing is whether the change of use is a temporary or permanent change. Central station have kept their cards close to their chest on this and I've not gotten an answer out of them on it - they likely want to keep their options open - but, honestly, I can't see "The Velvet Lounge" being successful and making as much revenue for them as the previous clubs did without an expensive refurbishment, which we know they can't afford, especially now. I'm betting that if it survives, then in the long term there is a good chance the clubs might return. What's clear is they will never return if it doesn't survive. I've told our customers that we're going to keep an eye on things and our first choice is to return when we can, but that is likely still a long way off yet. If that's not possible for whatever reason, we'll look at other venues - but I'm not doing that until we need to. I'm not aware of SOPs plans, but I did see they (along with other clubs) were in the list of 'top donors' on the GoFundMe.
