I'm not sure that what's being discussed is as simple as "snitching" or specific to "gay culture", as if gay culture was monolithic and homogenized the world over. There are lots of motives people have for getting folks in trouble with the authorities, whether it be revenge/payback, or jealousy, or seeing an opportunity to injure a business rival or a hundred other reasons. Everything being discussed happens in the broader world and isn't specific to gay people. What I think is being highlighted instead, is the broken expectation of a kind of solidarity from gay people about gay people. Essentially, "I expect gay folks not to be dicks to other gay folks even though they feel they have every reason to be."

You should be getting your next shot three weeks after April 14th, ergo May 5th. Three weeks is the recommended second vaccine shot for Pfizer. August is 4 MONTHS away. If I were you I'd call and confirm the second shot date.
-
You are right to play it safe! If the best vaccines work as advertised one in ten vaccinated people will still get it unless they are taking all the other precautions to prevent infection and transmission.

I got my first vaccination on Thursday as well. Since reading the studies on the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA vaccines I've felt confident in getting one of these two vaccines. As it turned out, I was already switching from a 3 day weight lifting split to a 5 day split this week, with all the soreness that new exercises can cause. Friday turned out to be shoulder day and I got my shot after I'd lifted. Ouch. I was really wiped on Friday evening, and my shoulder was tender the following day, but it faded to nothing by early afternoon. I tend to think a lot of the tiredness was the additional exercises. After I've got the second shot and waited for it to take full effect, I'm still going to do everything I'm doing now. (mask, social distancing, hard washing, etc.) because the vaccine is about 90% effective, meaning 1 in 10 vaccinated people will still get COVID if they are exposed. Be smart, close the vaccine protection gap by wearing a mask, social distancing, hand washing, etc.

Reading this I was thinking of the film, "The Ritz". It takes place in a gay bath house and there's a character that loves chubby men and runs around holding plates of sweet treats and yelling "Jelly roll baby!". A truly demented film. Yes, there's a lid for every pot.

The good news is that, until you can visit, 5% of the Australian population lives outside Australia. Most places you go in the world there are Aussies to fuck. We are everywhere.

Give him his fig leaf to rationalize his choices, but empty your balls and breed him full every time.

Do you Keep a Record of How Many Times You Hook Up Each Month?
blackrobe replied to blktone67's topic in General Discussion
Wow, I'm envious of the frequency of your regulars. Mine are much less... prolific. I'll qualify for the vaccine in a few days so I'll be getting it ASAP. -
I am so going to quote you on that.
-
How do you interpret the number?
-
True. but I've done my speech with more than a few men closer to my age too. He's ignorant or afraid or sex-negative or a combination of all three. His loss.

I usually have to do this about once a week with younger breeders. It's not just PrEP they seem to be ignorant of. I give them the HPV, Hep A, and Hep B vaccine push too. The cost of PrEP and the problem of how to get it prescribed are the biggest points of resistance I hear from men. I point them to a local sexual health clinic so they don't have to tell their doctor (even though I tell them they should be able to) and hook them up with the PrEP DAP scheme in their state. Helping breeders and bred be safe and sexually healthy is a duty I feel pretty strongly.

New Meaning of “No Load Refused Cumdump?”
blackrobe replied to BlackDude's topic in General Discussion
I believe it. It mystifies me, but I believe it. I've heard many similar stories from black men. Not growing up in the US, I wonder if it's to do with growing up in this culture and whether the experience of black men in majority non-black countries is any different. I'm sorry that's something that you end up dealing with. -
I think black bottoms are damned sexy. That is all.

There's a truth here that I think bears teasing out and acknowledging. Actions, and speech can be an action, have consequences. Free speech doesn't mean freedom from critique of that speech. A lot of what people brand as "cancel culture" I see as simple accountability for the positions, and the actions, that people take. The consequences of these things are, in my opinion, very weak tea indeed. The fact that these kinds of forces function to help discuss and define cultural norms and let people know when they're butting up against them is somewhat comforting. If only that mechanism had been working for governmental and institutional norms over the last few years. The ethical bankruptcy and bald-faced hypocrisy of the right and of the religious right in the US has been startling to observe. One thing I could not get past was how many people felt they needed to assert they were not racists for voting for the Republican Presidential contender in 2016. What I took away from that was that, while they may not have been racists demagogs themselves, they decided that the candidate's transparently racist views and policies weren't a deal breaker for them. It was then that I decided that there really was an "unfuckable" category of men. I decided I wasn't rewarding crypto-racist fascists with access to my cunt.

There has been only one guy who regularly (every time) and intentionally fucked through my inner ring, and he was 9"+ long. It was always an incredibly intense experience for me. Another guy who has "popped" me a couple of times was about 7.5" to 8" but super hard and he made me sit in his lap and impaled me on him, pulling me down onto his root. I think many factors come into play, among them my depth, his length and hardness, our positions, and his intent.

There was no conflation of race and gender in @BootmanLA's post. I think what you are actually objecting to is that there was an implied equivalency, and that you'd assert the two terms are not equivalent and therefore not interchangeable or comparable. The problem with that assertion is there is a lot of anti-discrimination law written protecting race, ethnicity, and gender (among other attributes) using common language. On the face of it I don't think your assertion stands up to scrutiny. In response, I'd assert that the simple "attribute substitution test" that @BootmanLA used is a valid check to identify if an *act* is discriminatory independent of the attribute it's targeting.

I have friends and colleagues who are transmen. Not going along with discrimination against transmen doesn't make me a "social justice warrior", it makes me a decent friend to those men. It should not take having a trans/black/gay/disabled/etc. friend for us to feel and act on our responsibility to others. Tactically, I don't think using the extreme right wing's "SJW" rhetoric helps anyone make a credible pro-separatist argument. From what I can see, it seems the objections to gay transmen in gay male spaces have more than a small whiff of misogyny about them. Here's a useful thought experiment to explore that more: Would men in women's clothes be welcome? Would transwomen who haven't had bottom surgery be welcome? In both cases they have a penis, but their overall gender presentation is feminine. I think the responses will be illuminating.

Can you clarify the founders reason/s for excluding transmen? From your post it seems like you're saying it's to protect men from being disappointed a guy doesn't have a dick.

In general, as a private campground they can set what restrictions they want on who can be there. Male only spaces and public sex environments are disappearing so there is an argument to be made that these spaces need to be defended. I find the idea that lesbians are upset about a male-only campground surprising given the past militancy of lesbians about women only spaces, and the actions of broader women's organizations making similar bio-women restrictions to exclude transwomen from events. It doesn't make much sense to me to prevent gay transmen from attending. They are gay and men, so what's the problem? If the specific campground you are referring to is Camp Boomerang RV Park and Campground, then based on what I've read some of them sound like transphobic pieces of crap. There's this quote from one of the founders: That's grade A misgendering transphobic bullshit, right there. If gay men are ever going to get over any *feelings* they have about transmen, they are going to have to interact with them to do it. If people can't deal with a few gay trans guys sprinkled into a group of gay men, I'm forced to wonder whether they are already metaphorically emasculated themselves.

Thanks. After some research, it seems like this is a brand or standard of cumdump and it's meant to communicate the extremity of commitment.
-
I have no idea what this is about.

I think we're in violent agreement on general probability. I just wanted to ensure US folks knew the data was not there to make any similar transmission prevention claims for the two mRNA based vaccines being distributed in the US, and that any implication that a sex partner who's vaccinated protects you in any way is not founded on data. Having someone in my family land on the 9% "bad" side of a 91% "good" probability taught me not to ignore even small probabilities.

The Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine is not approved for emergency use in the US yet, and there are currently clinical trials underway for it. Right now, Astra Zeneca are largely focused on supplying the EU. It's also worth noting that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are mRNA based while the Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine is viral-vector based. These are both new technologies so we should expect there to be differences in how they perform regarding preventing transmission. Based on the data you point to, one third of people vaccinated with the Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine (33%) still end up transmitting the virus to someone else. I don't think that's especially good odds. YMMV.

It bewilders me why men do this based on the science as I understand it. Being vaccinated protects you from becoming sick, or dramatically reduces the severity of the virus if you do become sick. As I understand it, the vaccine studies didn't examine whether it prevents you from passing on the virus. Without that data, you have to assume that vaccinated people can still be a carrier of the virus. Ergo, until there is data to the contrary, a vaccination only protects the vaccinated person. The unvaccinated person accrues no known benefit and, even worse, may have a mistaken impression that a vaccinated person is somehow safer for them to fuck than another more COVID-careful unvaccinated person. Because of this, I see people putting forward that they are vaccinated in ads as an inducement to fuck as either evidence that they don't understand enough of the COVID science (so my unvaccinated as shouldn't fuck them), or that they do understand the science, but are totally okay with fucking unvaccinated men who end up unknowingly taking more risk than they understand (so my unvaccinated ass definitely shouldn't fuck them).
