Interesting to note your observation, @1hornyjohn I guess it depends when you go as these places can be variable depending on the crowd... I usually go to the Bear Sunday thing on the last Sunday in the month. The last two were really very busy, and I've had some good fun there.

Whatsapp group link is no longer working. Is there a new one?

Planning on travelling up tomorrow for the day - hoping there will be some BZ guys around? Let me know if you're headed there also...

Cadbury's Creme Eggs.

Does this particular pattern/colourscheme have a specific name?

Pretty sure Apple News said next Saturday and Sunday were affected.

You often see items of clothing in military surplus stores with this pattern. Wondering if anyone knows if material with this print pattern can be bought by the meter off a roll? (I have a couple of ideas for a project) Any pointers welcomed. Andy

Are any of you watersports guys going?

I'm planning on a visit tomorrow - likely 3 pm until about 8/9 pm. I figured this would be a good week to go since there's a train strike next week. As always, I'm keen to meet other BZ guys, so if you're coming, send me a message to say hi. Andy

I think there's a chasm between fantasy and reality. For a few of us, we've mentally closed that gap or bridged it. Making the leap from one side to the other isn't an easy step for most guys. Then the internet came along and made it easy for guys on the fantasy side to communicate with the guys on the reality side. Indeed it made it easy for them to vicariously get off on what was going on in the reality side. I think we have to realise when talking to guys online that we can't assume we're all on the same side. Getting someone to cross from the fantasy side to the reality side is hard work - it's very much a journey for them. So - we need to figure out which side the guys are on. In the fetish and bareback communities, there are proportionally more people on the fantasy side and fewer on the reality side. So, I start by assuming guys are on the fantasy side initially and then look for flags that might indicate otherwise: reputation, history, attendance of in-person events or bars/clubs/saunas, and experience that sounds real rather than a plotline from Treasure Island Media. @BBSMKR mentioned his hotel experience. When it comes to a meet like that where there is travel and accommodation involved, for me, the other guy needs to have "skin in the game" - have some kind of commitment to the meet so he has something to lose if he flakes. That might be material, or in a community like this one, it could be reputational. That's not always possible, so it's best to have a Plan B, like a nearby Bar, Club or Sauna where you can still have fun. I don't rely on apps for my Plan B as you usually get more of the same! Hope that helps.

Will be visiting Munich next week, staying near the Messe. Looking for: a. Recommendations of the best cruisey, sleazy places to visit on a weekday evening. b. Any local guys or visitors who want to meet up. Reply here or DM me.

I didn't taken them, just the lube. Actually it was a really disappointing visit on the whole. Normally they insist (and enforce) naked - no towels as well. There were plenty of guys in Jocks and wrapped in towels, which isn't in keeping with the CumUnion ethos. The venue has gone downhill a bit too - about half of the TV screens were displaying "No Input" and you could really tell they turned the heating down. They used to do a nice lunch there too for cumunion, but it was just soup.

Sadly these guys were not at CumUnion in Northwich yesterday. The venue were even handing them out to customers as they arrived. Kinda defeats the point of CumUnion.

Thanks for fixing this.

Northwich definitely worth the trip - especially this coming Tuesday, 1st November as it's CumUnion

TL;DR - You may need to switch off "Hide IP Address from Trackers" in latest Safari/MacOS (or use Chrome) ---- For admin/geeks - Have noticed since updating my Macbook a couple of days ago that pages on here are failing to load completely and the progress bar freezes up. Looking into this a bit with the Timeline Inspector in Safari it appears that two bits of google analytics are what's freezing - it looks like both analytics.js and api.js are getting stuck. Although I could live without google analytics, their being non-operational seems to stop other parts of the page from rendering - for instance the Create New Topic page doesn't load the editor to type in the post content. Switching to Chrome on the same machine, everything loads OK. Figuring it's something to do with the extra security in the new MacOS / Safari I switched off the "Hide IP Address from trackers" in Safari Preferences. Breeding zone now loads ok in Safari. I switched them back on again and it continues to load ok - until you quit and restart Safari. I guess something gets cached and works for a while. In the new safari you can choose options on a site by site basis, so Un-ticking "Enable Content Blockers" in "Settings for breeding.zone" seems like it might work, but it doesn't. Have noticed similar behavior on Lenovo's and Aliexpress... there's likely others too. Be interested to know the root cause?

Rumours are circulating about Berghain closing: [think before following links] https://mixmag.net/read/berghain-rumoured-close-down-end-of-year-news Wondering if anyone knows the relationship between Berghain and Laboratory and whether Lab will be affected by this?

It's great to be able to have a laugh and I love that, but if it goes too far it can detract from the moment and then you have to get back in the zone again.

Absolutely the best way, in my experience. Everyone is there because they actually really want to hook up. You don't get guys who're just after a quick wank over the idea of meeting before they fall asleep and the like.

I've always liked and used "Your attitude is more important than your age, abs or inches" On the negative side when people are off their heads and write complete nonsense - probably sometimes with the aid of Apple Autocorrect or a dictation function - it can be funny... Spotted last night on NKP: " I lay in the slang Ma the rim CB high so I take fluid out of the baseballs I checked your turds and fish from above and the grunting and snorting bee bread beautiful evil black leather Cox Steven Cox the show" (Apologies in advance if this is some sort of code that I don't understand)

Usually keep an empty beer glass to hand and when my mark heads toward the bathroom, I simply approach and ask if he wouldn't mind refilling my glass while he's in there. Sometimes it works - sometimes you get told to fuck off. Much better chance of success in a sleazy/fetish environment. Saunas and fluffy gay bars not so much! These days I'm a little more careful... if the guy's been taking any medication or drugs then it might well be present in his piss. I'd rather avoid that, so for drinking I tend to stick to guys I know. I am spoiled having SOP in London every Sunday. If you're into piss, it's just awesome.

Oh yes - Instagram Queens - interested in posing for a photo op with guys in fetish gear or in fetish venues - but never in engaging in any actual play.

Saw this in my Apple News feed today: [think before following links] https://apple.news/At8YHLhVURriaHfWQk6tO4w tl;dr - people putting pineapple stickers on their cruise ship cabin doors to signify they are swingers. it mentions pineapple and upside down pineapple stickers although it didn’t explain the significance of the upside down one. wondered if there was an equivalent for gay men and if it’s something we might encourage in hotels as well as cruise ships…

They have changed the website over to: [think before following links] https://undergroundclublondon.co.uk

Visiting Antwerp with a friend and we've done the usual trips to The Boots on Friday and Saturday nights. Great to see the place is still going well and there were some interesting fetish guys there to play with. I was stoked that the cute Bolivian barman, Daniel remembered my name after two and a half years. The real surprise however was today. My friend is really into saunas, so we walked the 4km over to T'herrenhuis. What a gem of a place! It's an 1800's built house with playrooms upstairs, a decent sized jacuzzi (10-12man) and a nice pool, showers, sauna and steam in the basement. Ground floor there is a bar that serves alcohol and food, and a ball room which was quite dark with various beds and platforms. There's a couple of 'cinemas' and a TV lounge as well as the ubiquitous sling room. If you've ever been to Greenhouse Darlaston its a similar thing but manages to be even nicer. We got there when it opened at 12pm on a Sunday and the clientele was more skewed toward 'dads' and 'bears' and their admirers - I really enjoyed myself with a wide range of guys. What was great was everyone was just so nice - absolutely no attitudes - and it seemed everyone was really horny and up for it. There was none of the constant pacing and wandering around in a loop you get at British saunas and cruise venues. It was really good, and almost exclusively bareback. My friend booked a hour long massage and enjoyed it immensely. As the afternoon wore on to about 5pm, the crowd was getting younger and younger. We were getting quite exhausted and met up in the bar to regroup over a lovely cold draught Maes. We were about to head home when we spotted the food coming out from the bar - really nice stuff you'd be happy to have in a Restaurant - so we ordered a couple of meals before heading back out. I'd really recommend going there if you're in Antwerp. It's a beautiful place and some wonderfully sexy horny men. You can easily spend a whole day there. My friend beat me on the load count, but he did get three from the same guy. So, if you count that as one, then I won! My favourite fuck of the day was a Mexican guy who had the hardest dick I have ever encountered. It was like a piece of steel. And wow he knew how to use it. I am glad I wore black trackkies - hopefully they hid any leakage as we trekked the 4km back swapping notes on the various guys.
