Central Station in Kings Cross needs our help...
AirmaxUK replied to AirmaxUK's topic in London Metro Area
There may be some underused or empty premises post lockdown but the issue with opening new venues is property prices and the licensing policies of the different boroughs - you need a special kind of license to have a sex-on-premises establishment and they are very hard to come by. It used to be the case that only two boroughs in London would consider issuing them: Islington and Lambeth. The owners of CS told me that when it came to license renewal time there was always very strong opposition from the local residents, other local businesses and property developers keen to gentrify the area and push property prices up further, so it was always a difficult fight to keep the basement open. I am grateful that they did. I do hope the scene has a revival, but there needs to be a lot of change in the capital to make that happen and although Covid has slowed things down, there is a lot of inertia and money involved: it is moving too much in the other direction for that change to happen soon. -
Governmental Porn Blocks Have Started – How Circumvent Them
AirmaxUK replied to rawTOP's topic in LGBT Politics
There a good comparison of VPN services on Wikipedia: [think before following links] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_private_network_services I took the line that you get what you pay for, so I avoided anything 'free'. I ended up with NordVPN on my devices which seems to work quite well for me on iOS, MacOS, and Linux. I had some trouble with some features in the ARM 32bit Linux version of their native client software (Killswitch and Nordlynx wouldn't work) but using OpenVPN client seems okay. It seems pretty fast - I have gigabit fibre and routing through the VPN mostly affects the latency - the speed is pretty good unless you connect to an endpoint somewhere far off like Costa Rica. I like their kill switch feature which stops all communication if the VPN disconnects - that way you don't leak anything accidentally. I've noticed that some websites (Footlocker and my banks notably) won't talk to me at all when I'm on NordVPN - even on a UK server - and I have to switch it off for that. If it were not for that I'd enable it on my router for all traffic. The only other problem has been that some hotels or companies with public wifi also prevent connections to the VPN service. macOS Big Sur is reported to have system wide DNS over HTTPS built in - but I can't seem to find out any info about using it. (If anyone knows, drop me a DM) -
I saw this on Twitter and thought I'd post it here, too. Central Station is struggling in the lockdown as is asking for help to stay afloat. I think it would be sad to see another venue disappear, especially one that has played host to sleazy clubs like SOP, Pants, Feet on Friday, to name a few. Many of my memorable experiences have taken place in their underground club in the basement. If Central Station closes, I believe that these clubs will find it almost impossible finding a new home in London and we risk losing them along with an important hub in the community.

Do you think this site is hard to navigate?
AirmaxUK replied to rawTOP's topic in Tips, Tricks, Rules & Help
Firstly want to thank @RawTop and the moderators for bringing us BZ. It must be a lot of work to keep running, secure and keep us prolls in check! I am used to how the site works, but there are a couple of things that might make its use smoother... I think you have to remember this is primarily a forum and not a general social media/hookup platform. Searching for a member by username is a bit clunky as you have to go to the search box, select more options, select members and then search. Would be nice if the search box showed members as well as posts by default. The URL hiding thing is probably necessary evil, but quite annoying. Now I am used to it, and I am happy Safari allows highlighting the text and ctrl-click to select open in new tab. The point about 'posting in the right place' - sometimes the navigation doesn't help - I recall my one and only suspension resulted from someone else posting in the wrong place. I saw it in my notifications feed, and I hastily followed up by posting something along the lines of "Oh yes, me too" without double checking which forum it was originally posted in... That resulted in a week's suspension, which I've always thought a bit salty given the OP contained the inappropriate content for where it was posted. Anyway... that's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned, but I think using a different colour or something for the public vs restricted access areas might help clarify where you're posting. I believe some of forums can be read without logging in and are public and indexed by search engines - again sometimes I wonder if users realise this when posting? Again a colour code or something might help. -
Can you repost the link? It seems to have been removed.

We are finding that many of the bits of home exercise equipment we've procured during lockdown can be repurposed for play. Weighted bags can be used under the prosterior to prop up your butt when laying on your back. Resistance bands can be used to help keep feet/legs up when laying on back - thread band behind neck or through harness and use the ends to hold feet/ankles. Bosu ball has many uses for creating interesting positions and angles particularly for fisting. Adjustable incline bench also useful for positioning, tying up and is a more stable platform for harder scenes. Interlocking gym mats make a wipe clean floor for playing on A friend of mine has a tilt table for hanging upside down which was originally for therapy but with modifications got repurposed for bondage play. A wander around a branch of Decathon with your imagination engaged there are many possibilities. Just before the last lockdown they had a sale and I was going to get one of their full face snorkels to investigate the possibilities but I had better not elaborate as we are outside the fetish section.

Definitely worth watching. I love the attention to detail in "It's a Sin". There are real things that I'd read about at the time and forgotten, like the crematorium that refused to cremate bodies of AIDS patients for fear of contaminating the air. Now it sounds crazy, but back then everyone was scared. Something else in the series that stuck a memory was mortgage companies wouldn't lend to gay people because no life assurance policy would cover them. Many people had to lie to get mortgages or get ones that didn't require life assurance cover, which cost more. Apart from the storyline, being an 80's geek, the detail in the sets is spot on - decor, clothes, technology, and cars. We watched the first episode live, and streamed the rest over last weekend. It's getting rave reviews, and deservedly so.

Tell Me Your Thoughts On Hookup Sites/Apps & Finding Sex
AirmaxUK replied to rawTOP's topic in General Discussion
"Microwave sex" - That made me LOL. That is getting filed away for future use. -
Ah, but have you had to switch her off, wait ten seconds and switch her on again?
-
+ add me to this: I agree it would be useful. I have unfollowed people in the past because of overly prolific commenting things like "Yeah!" "Me too" etc on dozens of images.
-
@RawPlug - gets a special mention since we've met IRL, and I am really looking forward to doing so again once lockdown allows. @schvenn @dirtyfuckboy @Gregory @kiwiguyuk @JamesL100 @sleazebugga @daddybare @bare2bb @6Demon6Seed6 @alphaboy @saunatopuk @7bb86 @slipitupme stands out as he writes some great stories on here. Would love to meet and play with guys who have such imaginations, and I suspect some of it is based on experience of places like The Fort.

Freak/Freaks/get Freaky are a term I've been noticing a lot lately when looking at USA based profiles - and the context would seem to imply different meaning from my normal understanding: . My understanding is that it is used to describe something outside what is normal, but done to some kind of extreme or excess and I'd usually associate it with a fetish, like Rubber Freak, Gear Freak, etc. But having seen it in so many non-fetish profiles, I am wondering if this term is used as covert drugs reference?

Anyone been to Flex, Tokyo, or Southern Nights recently?

Which Red Roof was that? Buckhead? -
I hear that there are 5,000 trucks stopped at the UK border in Dover/Folkstone unable to cross... If it wasn't for Tier-4 lockdown it did occur to me it could be worth a trip to provide some Christmas relief... but the reality of truckers being stuck on an airfield for days without access to toilets or showers may not live up to the fantasy...
-
In my experience the issue usually is that pictures are requested under the guise of arranging a meet, or forging a friendship over a common (fetish) interest - but they never really intend to meet in the first place. Usually fairly easy to spot, though. They have a short attention span and will move on to someone else if you can't send them the pics "right now".

A lot of us have hopes pinned on vaccinations in order for cruising venues and clubs on the scene opening up again. In the UK they're estimating people in my group (mid 40's) won't get access to the vaccine until June-September 2021. And that's if everything goes to plan. [think before following links] https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/vaccine-queue-uk When I enquired at my doctor's office about their plans, they said they're not planning to do vaccinations as they don't have the manpower. So, I'm not holding my breath for any kind of normality based on vaccinations soon...

This is why all your tube videos were deleted
AirmaxUK replied to rawTOP's topic in Bareback Porn Discussion
Oh, I didn't mean the UK was liberal! No way... We have the BBFC and our own decency laws to contend with here. That's why back in the day when we used to have our own personal websites (dial up era!) we used to use hosting companies in mainland Europe that were a bit more friendly to gay/fetish content. -
This is why all your tube videos were deleted
AirmaxUK replied to rawTOP's topic in Bareback Porn Discussion
This is all really interesting: Being based in the UK, I am curious how this plays out internationally... Given the global nature of the internet, is there a reason why one of the big porn tube companies wouldn't incorporate or setup and host from a more liberal country where lobby groups like Exodus Cry are less of an issue? In the early days of the net, there were companies in Europe (Netherlands and Germany) that were more friendly to fetish and gay content - I think xs4all and GMX were ones I remember seeing. A lot's changed since then, but I'm curious what benefits/problems going offshore brings...? Could this also mean that alt-currency payments become popular in lieu of Mastercard/Visa? I've always been a bit wary of sharing card/personal details with certain sites - hence I have a prepay card I use for that kind of thing. -
I think some guys get off on the fantasy, but when you arrive at their door, it suddenly becomes reality and they're not really ready for it. Sometimes they've popped their load already on the idea. Sometimes what they describe and project of themselves may not be close to reality, so they act out like it's your fault when they get close to being revealed. I've had Grindr meets give me the address of the house on the opposite side of the street so they can check me out first.
-
Kudos for being willing to help chasers. The whole fantasy/reality thing can be frustrating to deal with. The only reliable answer to that I've found is to get out to darkrooms, parties, saunas and cruising grounds where guys are more genuinely up for it, but that's a bit tricky in the current covid situation.
-
Agree with this. My observation and personal experience is that when guys are on the hunt - online or in a cruising situation - they can get really focused on looking for cock when ass in abundance. I have to make a real effort to remember my other 20-25% - and for me that usually manifests in the finale before leaving. Some guys may lose interest after they've shot their load, so they focus on bottoming first: Then it is easy to become obsessed and forget about giving. If everyone behaves in a similar way it creates a natural shortage. It's a rare find, but for me it is a massive turn on to take loads from guys at the end of the night having witnessed they've been prolific bottom sluts and taken a lot of cock that night. Living vicariously through other guy's loads, maybe.
-
I really like your definition of Pig being into quantity over quality. I think that totally nailed it. Interesting definition of Pervert being a corrupting influence - I guess that's why the shortened form means what it does and is banned here. That's pretty much what the dictionary definition is too. In the UK you sometimes hear a group of friends accuse one of their number of [banned shortened form]-ing over someone. This is usually noticeably paying excessive attention to someone they desire, but from a distance rather than being direct or cruisey. Usually if the target is considered to be above the league of the admirer, or if the attention is making them noticeably uncomfortable. You also often hear the banned shortened form used to describe someone who's paying unwanted attention to someone and ignoring social cues/body language to stop. eg: That guy in the darkroom who won't take no for an answer.

Vers Bttm, Vers, Vers Top - Differences?
AirmaxUK replied to Xfarmboy9's topic in General Discussion
Agree with this but would add that this more common as use of drugs has become more popular: it seems to prevent a lot of guys from getting hard, and then they can only btm. I've always thought it's kinda good cruising karma to be versatile and give a little of what you want to take. The numbers game is such that we have to as there are simply not enough tops to go around! I'll add that one thing I love is taking a load from a guy who has just taken a lot of loads himself. So a cumpdump who will top at the end of the party is awesome, but a very rare find. -
Thanks... I never knew that! 😱
