keep writing -- I feel as if I'm at the door to the laundry room, breathing in the tendrils of vapor that escape you two.

The consensus is that Tampa Men's Club, though the facility is nice, is pretty dead. (The cars in the parking lot? Overflow from one of the auto mechanics in that block, if I recall correctly.) It also suffers from being cash-only and pricey and having staff who must have failed the Dale Carnegie course. When I frequented the baths, Rainbow Cabaret was my preferred destination. Even back then (2012-13), the place was pretty rundown, but the action could be pretty hot (especially on weekends). After reading various posts here and scattered reviews on various gay travel websites (and on Yelp of all places), it appears that the word "repair" and the phrase "capital improvement" are not in the vocabulary of Rainbow's owner. Two themes recurred in the reviews of Rainbow -- don't run around in your bare feet and bring your own towel and soap. You might be better off going to Club Orlando....

A very clever - and different - spin at the end. Thanks for writing this one....

Here, we have what is called a "homestead exemption", a contrivance by which the house we actually live in (as opposed to rental properties we own) carries a hefty exemption from property taxes, comparatively.  

An explanation for those Yankees who contemplate a move to the Sunshine State: the exemption reduces the assessed value of the house by up to $50,000. The real advantage of the homestead exemption is that it limits the increase in assessed valuation to 3% a year. Without that 3% limit, a lot of us would be priced out of our homes.  Potential buyers should know that the assessed value resets to full market value (determined by a formula the assessor uses) the year after you buy the house. It's not uncommon anymore for someone's property taxes to triple the year after they bought the house.

I think the biggest loss in spontaneous, recklrss exhibitionism or adventureisim  has to be due to the homoginization of Gay/Queer Culture into mainstream society though.  To a certain degree, being "accepted" in polite society has meant that the culturally hot and heavy things once done to set our encounters apart from "nuclear-breeder-society" aren't things gayd frown upon the wait straights do.

For what it's worth, I couldn't agree more. In the late '70s, when I was coming out, I met several guys who were into leather. (We lived close enough to Chicago for them to be habitués at the Gold Coast when it was at 501 N. Clark.) I thought it was pretty hot (as were the guys), but I knew plenty of people who saw leather as evidence, at a minimum, of hooliganism. Nowadays, it seems that leather is just a fashion accessory, the sexual overtones I knew in my youth washed away in the process of assimilation.

What you’re talking about is how guys end up in dismembered in suitcases.

If one's relatives and heirs are lucky, so to speak, he ends up in a suitcase. Scouring a few acres looking for the rest of the skeleton after some distraught citizen has found a hand on the ground makes for some very, very long days.

Itching is just one sign. If you start having discharge, you're likely to know.

I read the original post to imply that he has anal gono as he says "[his] hole has been very very itchy." From the CDC website ([think before following links] https://www.cdc.gov/std/gonorrhea/stdfact-gonorrhea.htm) --

      Rectal infections may either cause no symptoms or cause symptoms in both men and women that may include: Discharge; Anal itching; Soreness; Bleeding;      Painful bowel movements.

And if your house is on a boatable canal, add another $100,000 to the cost.

And that's just the purchase price. Depending on location, you'll pay as much as $3000 a year for homeowner's insurance and up to another $5000-6000 for flood insurance (FEMA is in the process of changing its risk analysis and rate structure). But as we are reminded all the time by the legislative whizzes in Tallahassee, there's no state income tax.

". . .he writes in several posts that he had previously posted them on bugshare (which is practically prehistoric times)."

A little clarification now that I've skimmed a few of these stories -- Btmbob2 seems to have the foresight to save stories that were posted on bugshare before bugshare closed. The software here will show Btmbob2 to be the author, but the software is actually saying he's the author of the post, not necessarily of the story. (There's probably a fancier technical way of saying that, but I leave that to a more knowledgable person.) In fact, there are a few instances in which the real author of the story happens to be a BZ member, sees the story here, and resumes writing.

Does anybody know who the author of this story is?  It’s been around for a long time, I’m just curious if he has other stuff out there.

The author hasn't been here (at least under this particular screen name) since May 2018. He has a boat load of stories - I stopped counting at 12 - here in chem sex fiction, and he writes in several posts that he had previously posted them on bugshare (which is practically prehistoric times). Some of them are really short, less than 5 pages if one printed them. I found them by going to his profile (at the top of this page, click on his screen name which is just under the title) and then clicking on "See his activity" (it's on the right hand side of the screen).

Not trying to be a heart stomper, but I see some red flags here.

@ErosWired beat me to it (I had to take the dog out), so I'll emphasize his words of wisdom. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is a dumpster fire attached to a fast burning fuse. If you haven't noticed, doctors tend to chat when they're not in the OR or doing rounds or whatever else they do. Any move you make on Dr. Kildare will be the subject of conversation within a month. I'm assuming you're in the US, and the last time I looked, most anesthesiologists here are in group practices. American society is generally more tolerant of homosexuality than it was when I graduated from law school in 1982, and it's unlikely that bad things would be said in public about your infatuation with Dr. Kildare. That doesn't mean, however, that the other doctors in a group practice which you wish to join would welcome you. Some, on grounds of religion, might object to working with a gay man, and others might think it a character flaw for you to pursue a man who is, to all appearances, in a happy and stable relationship with a woman. Some might see you as an insurance or litigation risk (as if your specialty didn't attract enough litigation) because they'd see you as someone more subject to claims of sexual harassment. In addition, if you haven't noticed, folks in your specialty tend to see patients when the patient is not fully conscious. No one would say it to your face, but I will: chasing Dr. Kildare will plant a seed of suspicion in the minds of some people that you can't keep your hands to yourself and in the right circumstances, you'd make a move on a patient. (Yeah, I know you wouldn't, but the point is that some people will think you're always on the edge of giving in to temptation.)

There are a couple of threads from this summer about workplace affairs and the like. You might want to avail yourself of the very good search function on this website (upper right hand corner of the web page) and find those discussion threads. My advice, perhaps unsolicited and unwelcome, is to keep Dr. Kildare at arm's length; you can certainly be friends, but unless you want to toss your professional career in the wastebasket, don't make a move on him.  

My time as a TA in college and in law school was nothing like this, that's for damned sure.... Maybe that's a good thing; I could be the oldest undergrad at my college otherwise.

nice looking veins on the model....

You might want to make a trip to  your friendly neighborhood doctor. Too many guys die of prostate cancer because they didn't go to the doctor sooner. You might have prostatitis, but your doctor should be the next phone call you make.

I don't know how many people here post from a cell vs. from a notebook or desktop computer (I use all of the above, depending on the circumstances).

What I do not do is post random selfie shots with posts just because it's technologically feasible. It's a stupid waste of bandwidth and storage space to stick pictures of your dicklet into discussions just because you can. If you're trying to illustrate a specific point, fine. If you're posting to a personal gallery, fine. If you're just showing your dick because you're an exhibitionist there are sites for that elsewhere.

I'm guessing you might have disabused the OP of any notion that you're a chatbot.

The concept reminds me of Dry January. I can see there'd be health benefits from Dry January, but as @ErosWired has explained, the physical benefits from NoNutNovember aren't very obvious. The whole thing has overtones of Victorian masculinity which viewed jerking off as a drain on the masculine essence, leading to physical and moral decay.

This article from the Journal of the American Medical Association discusses some of the reasons.
