If I read the summary of the ruling correctly, the decision goes far beyond coverage of prep. The federal mandate to fully cover preventive services was found to be unconstitutional. That means things like cancer screenings would also be affected. The ruling doesn't mean preventive care would be dropped from coverage, however, insurance companies may start requiring co-pays on preventive services. This, of course, undermines the reason the mandate was put in place in the first place. Adding co-pays would make health screenings more expensive and potentially out of reach of some people even though they have insurance.

Since it's April 1st, I think it's an appropriate time to discuss the “real” purpose of the gloryhole. With rapid industrialization in the 1800's, more and more people were flocking to the major cities. There, of course, needed to be places for people to relieve themselves, so comfort stations were erected throughout the city. They were commonly placed in back alleys and other out of the way locations. The problem with being stuck out of the way was that it made it difficult to hear the church bells that signaled the hour and so anyone inside could easy to lose track of time. If you didn't have a watch, you could be late for an important engagement! And, since it would be rude to call out and interrupt someone else as they were tending to their business, a more polite way of asking the time was introduced. Small holes, about the size of a pocket watch, were drilled through the partition walls. When looking at the right angle, it was possible to see the face of a watch when someone in the adjoining cubicle pulled one out and flashed it in your direction. Also, a signal consisting of a single finger sliding through the hole and pointing at the watch pocket was created as a polite way to ask to be shown their watch. Over time, the size and shape of gloryholes has changed. Newer gloryholes tend to be larger to accommodate those chunky “bling” watches, and some gloryholes are now elongated rectangular slits, obviously designed to match the size and shape of smartphones. Yes, we can thank industrialization and the incessant need to know the time for the introduction of the gloryhole. Although, now that I think about it, they could have been made for sex. I hadn't really considered it before, but I guess it's possible … While I think about it, I'll bid you all a Happy April Fools Day.

It's been 10 years since this question was first posted. Might be interesting to see how current answers compare to those of a decade ago. Here are mine: 1. Are they expensive? I guess that's a relative question. If you are on the Forbes 500 wealthiest list, then paying the $4,000 a month retail cost would be peanuts for you. On the other hand, that amount could be twice a normal worker's take home pay. Personally, I think meds are expensive. 2. (for U.S. readers) Do you think "Obamacare" will reduce the cost of HIV treatment? The Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare) was extremely helpful for me -- at least in the beginning. Insurance companies are now finding ways to shift more costs onto the consumer by doing things like reclassifying HIV meds as "Specialty" tier which lets them charge a higher co-pay. I turned 65 last year so I am now on Medicare and find it is worse than the ACA in terms of coverage. (FYI: if you have coverage through the ACA, you cannot keep it once you turn 65. You must cancel your ACA plan and join Medicare.) In my area, all drug plans have large deductibles which means my copay is over $1,000 a month for the first 2 months of the year. If you qualify, Ryan White will cover that copay, but going back to question one, Yes , meds are still expensive. 3. Are the side effects really that bad? Modern drugs are pretty good in terms of minimizing side effects. Liver and kidney functions are still closely monitored, but over all, side effects are usually minimal. (Side note: when I was on Atripla I had very vivid dreams and I really miss that now that I'm on Biktarvy. My Atripla dreams were hilarious.) 4. Is it true that meds, not HIV/AIDS itself, is what gives you "the look"? Are guys that are strict about taking their meds more likely to have "the look"? Yes, it was the early med that caused fat redistribution in some people. Newer meds are less likely to cause that, however it is a side effect that is still studied. 5. Did you have to experiment with a lot of different meds to find the one you like? Early on, my doctor tried to change my med to try to increase my CD4 count faster, but I didn't like it and went back to Atripla. A year or two ago I was switched to Biktarvy since it is less toxic to the kidneys. 6. Do you take a cocktail of meds each day, or one pill with various NRTIs in it? Calling it a "cocktail" makes it sound so delicious. But no, I take one pill, with 3 active ingredients, once a day. 7. How are the 1990s meds (AZT, etc.) different from what we have now? I was never on AZT so I have no personal experience to compare. From what I've read, I'd say the newer classes of drugs are better at suppressing the virus while being less toxic to the individual. 8. Let's say someone doesn't know that you're POZ and asks what all those pill bottles are for - do you lie or tell the truth? First of all, why are you letting people root through your medicine cabinet? Second, there's only on med bottle, and three, I'm not hiding my status, but seriously, stay out of my medicine cabinet. 9. Do you ever take a meds vacation to get your VL higher when you're going to poz up a NEG? This may have been a thing 30 - 40 years ago, but I think most people today actually want to take care of themselves and avoid creating more victims by passing along an incurable illness. It took me years to attain an undetectable status. I'm not going to intentionally fuck that up. 10. Will meds make me not as horny to recharge and keep spreading The Gift? If that's your idea of a gift, please stay away from my birthday party. 11. I take Xanax every day, and I know that I keep getting tolerant to it and have to take more and more. Does the same thing happen with meds? No. Unless there is a mutation in the virus that makes it resistant, your dose would stay the same. If the virus is resistant, you'd be switched to a different med.

As far as I know, any rules of behavior or "rituals" used for getting into the head space are going to be determined by the "trainer" (if you are playing individually) or by the owner of the play space (if you are in a group). That means you'll need to find a trainer or a group and ask them how they work with pups. If you can't fine someone doing what you think you need, then you can create your own rituals and try to find a trainer to handle you in that way. If you already have some on line contacts, they're probably your best source for current info on clubs. I'll list two links that you may already be familiar with, but I'll list them in case anyone else is looking for the same type of info. First is: [think before following links] [think before following links] https://pupplay.de/en This site has a really good "Frequently Barked Questions" section and also links to clubs in Europe. Second is: [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.pupplay.info/pup-community-map/ This in no longer being updated but still has valid links to facebook groups -- mostly in the USA One more source might be a furry convention. Most cons will have at least one panel devoted to pup play and talk about created a play space, and may include a "mosh pit" for puppies to play together.

I missed a couple lines in my reply. I meant to mention again that that was a very brief overview and that there is a whole lot of overlap between those groups so the lines between them get kind of murky. But that doesn't really matter since you get to decide what you're into and what label you want to attach to it. Main takeaway is just to have fun creating a character and playing with it.

Here is a brief overview of Pup play, Furries, and Otherkins. They tend to get lumped together but they are all pretty different. Pup play is an off-shoot of bdsm where you have a pet and owner dynamic. You don't need a fursona for pup play, but you can create one if it helps you get into a role. In pup play, the pup acts like, and is treated like, a pet by the owner. Gear for pup play can typically include leather or neoprene hoods, harnesses and collars. Butt plug or strap on tails might be used, and hand paws for pup play cover the hand to prevent use of the fingers. Furries are fans of antho animals. Most create their own characters but there isn't any "ritual" to creating a fursona. All you need to do is think about what kind of animals you like and what you might like to cos play as. Your fursona can be as simple or complex as you want. The minimum would be to decide on a species and a name for your character, but you can create a Ref sheet (basically following the process and developing the info used to create a cartoon character) and even create a back story for your origins. Also, you can "be" anything you want. You are not limited to existing animals so hybrids or mythological creatures are possible too. Some furries have even created their own alien species that are basically animal based cyborgs. Look up protogen if you want to see what they look like. Most furries are nerds. Things furries like include: art, anime, gaming, music, coffee, energy drinks, and cheese. Most furries do not have fursuits, and most furries who do have suits do not have sex in them. That said, furries get horny just like everyone else so .... OwO. There are some fursuits designed for sex that have "strategically placed holes" in them to make sex while suited possible. Suits designed for sex are called Murrsuits. You can find some murrsuiters on OnlyFans. There is also a site dedicated to murrsuits called murrtube.net Finally, therians and otherkins are groups that believe that they are not fully human. They may feel they have animal spirit guides, or feel that they have the souls of animals or some other mythic species but are trapped in human form. They may have rituals to contact their guides or the animal spirit they believe is their other half. While pup play and furries engage in fantasy play, therians and otherkins actually believe they are part animal. Personally, I'm a furry. I love the mascotting aspect of being in suit, and it has nothing to do with sex. That said, I also have a couple pup hoods and certainly don't mind getting fucked like a bitch.

I have allergies that make it difficult for me to be around smokers, so someone smoking while we're having sex is out. That said, I don't mind a smoker being on the other side of a gloryhole, or outside where there is good ventilation. The exception to that is if they are smoking (what I assume is) cannabis oil. That stuff makes me nauseous and I can't handle being around it.

I think it's the position and angle of the penis. Instead of sliding along the rectum it can end up jabbing the side. If a bottom is having trouble taking your cock, try a different position.

The closest bathhouse to me is over 100 miles away, so it's rarely my destination. Instead, if I happen to be in that area for something, I'll stay at the bath over-night instead of getting a motel room. If I get fucked while I'm there, then great. If It's slow, I get a few hours of sleep. Either way, it's a win for me.

Yes. I'm not into insects or other vermin being around, however being someplace grungy is mentally freeing. It loosens inhibitions so I feel I can do whatever the fuck I want. And, I assume anyone else in that place has a similar attitude.

Yes. Obviously, making babies is biology, however, societies have always used couple dynamics as a means of building a power base (through arranged marriages) and controlling the masses (by requiring the permission of the church or government to wed). The term, "straight", as it refers to sexuality, has only been in use for about 50 years. It was coined as a response to the use of the term, "gay", that was gaining popularity to describe it's opposite. The problem with these terms is that they preclude the possibility of something present in the middle. Strict adherence to the terminology disrupts what should be normal friendships and interactions between people. Same gender friendships can no longer be close for fear of being perceived as "gay". The terms used to describe sexuality are relatively modern constructs, and even at that, the meaning of these terms has changed over time. I recommend this article if you're interested in how some of the terms were created: [think before following links] https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20170315-the-invention-of-heterosexuality

One thing religious organizations are good at is: being deceptive. While I wouldn't hold the sites completely "blameless", it's possible they didn't know who was buying the data. I couldn't read the article you linked since it's behind a subscriber wall, but the first line says the money was funneled through a 501c3, which could have obscured the buyers and their intent. Also the data could have been sold through a data broker, so again, the sites wouldn't have known who was buying it. (If anyone can read the article and confirm the sites knowingly sold data to religious organizations, I'll stand corrected.) What bothers me more than adult sites selling data is that religious organizations have millions of tax free dollars available to spend on it. It would seem to me that if they were serious about their mission, they could find better uses for that money.

I'd never heard of Sam Smith nor had I heard the song in question, so I did a quick search on youtube to see if there was anything controversial in the song or video. Here is my review following a single listen: In my opinion, the whole thing is pretty Meh. The backing track is a basic disco/house beat, and while I think the vocals have some similarity to the sound of George Michael, it lacks his sexy soulful inflection. Overall, I found the song to be bland, sanitized, and formulaic. It definitely lacks the raw sex drive I can hear in Frankie's "Relax" or the blatant imagery of songs by soft cell and others. The video seemed to be an over-produced lip-sync number, staged in a rented castle -- I wonder if they booked it on AirBnB. There wasn't much rhyme or reason to the choreography, however the synchronized butt clenching was, at least, somewhat amusing. Beyond that, there are one or two things that might raise an eyebrow if you are a fan of elevator Musak, however I didn't find anything in the production that I'd consider disgusting or outrageous, and, unfortunately, there wasn't anything that I found particularly erotic. So., my final opinion is: the song is ok but not good enough to go on a playlist. As for the video -- it's just that. It's fantasy to go along with the song. Anyone who finds it offensive probably wouldn't be listening to Sam Smith anyway. But, of course, some people intentionally look for things that they can be outraged about.

There is nothing wrong with waiting until you are older to have sex, and you should never let anyone else -- or let yourself -- put yourself down for waiting. I think there are a few advantages to waiting. Age usually brings a certain level of maturity so that you can approach sex with a clearer head and make more informed decisions about what types of activities turn you on and what type of risks you might be willing to take. You know about prep, and condoms, and other vaccines that may be beneficial to have. You may also have a better idea of what your interests are than you did when you were younger. This is important since our interests can often change as we age. You said you were hoping to meet the "right" person, however, someone you met ten years ago might not have changed or matured in the same way you did,, and thus, no longer be "right". (That's why a lot of people who get married young end up getting divorced,) Waiting to have sex or start dating may help bring about more stable relationships. As to whether others would see an inexperienced partner as a turn off, it's going to depends on the situation. There may be a few guys looking for a quick fuck that may be turned off. On the other hand, someone looking for a long term partner might see it as a plus. But the vast majority aren't going to care one way or the other. Sex is fun, sex can feel really good, but it isn't all that complicated. And from the stand point of will someone dislike you for not having experience -- that's something you don't have to worry much about.

I like fucking in bathhouses and bookstores, but I had a couple situations occur recently and was curious what other would do. One situation was this:, I was getting fucked leaning over the back of a couch. The top had his hands wrapped around my hips, pulling me back onto his cock. It felt good, however, it's also made me need to pee. It wouldn't be a problem for me since I love piss play, however it's not always polite to do in a public place, so what's the best thing to do? Would you: 1. stop the fuck so you can use the restroom then come back and hope the top hasn't moved on to someone else. 2. Tell the top he's going to make you piss and leave it up to him whether to stop or change positions, etc. Or 3. Keep quiet and when you cant hold it just piss on the couch and floor. I think there are advantages / disadvantage to each option. I'm curious what other bottoms have done or would do in that situation. also curious what tops would want a bottom to do.

Every condom brand is different. They all vary slightly in size, materials, and lube, so if you want to use condoms, try different brands, and if you find one that works for you, insist on that, or bare. That's what I do. I found that I could not use latex. Latex would leave me feeling sore and burnt. Non-latex condoms seem to be OK to me. For me, If someone wants to use a condom, it has to be non-latex.

While I prefer fucking bare, I want a top to be comfortable, so if he wants to use a condom, I'll take it -- as long as it isn't latex. I insist on non-latex condoms. Latex condoms are evil.

When I started to have wet dreams about a boy I liked at school, I couldn't deny I was gay. Unfortunately, I didn't want to be gay and couldn't accept it for a long time.

Food play can be fun and erotic. A couple quick details to keep in mind are: you may want to be a little more meticulous on douching, otherwise your food may get a little more "chunky" than expected. Also, it's best to steer away from anything that is very hot or very spicy as this could irritate the anal lining. Beyond that, it's pretty much up to your imagination as to what you use. Some examples of things I've had in my ass or eaten from an ass are: Bananas. Grapes (feel like little anal beads when you pop them out of your hole). Oatmeal (this is sometimes used by diaper fetishists who want to poop themselves but without the smell and mess. Also good to use to be able to fuck a full hole. Also a part of a good nutritious breakfast). Hot dogs, and sausages. Pasta, with sauce and meatballs. Chocolate candy. Marshmallows (Don't do this one. They melt immediately and turn into a sticky mess. I mean seriously, don't do it.) I never got around to trying it but wanted to try doing a stew. I think that would be fun with the different chunks of meat and veggies, and the drippy gravy. And finally, pumpkin pie with a little whipped cream on top. For inserting stuff, if it's got a bit of form like a hot dog, it can be pushed directly into the hole. If your food is already sort of soft or mushy, you can use a speculum to dilate the anus, or use a pastry bag to squeeze your food into the rectum. The pastry bag is the method I used. Hope that gives you some ideas. Have fun. And, as Julia Child would say: "Bon Appetit!"

I don't get stoned, but I have thought about stuff like that. I think people who have driven a stick have an edge. Driving a stick isn't just moving the shifter back and forth. You develop an instinct for when to shift by listening to the engine and feeling the performance of the vehicle as you drive. Just as you develop an instinct for how to stroke a penis by listening to moans and feeling the movement of the body under your fingers. Both strings and percussion instruments help one develop a sense of rhythm and time, but I think I would give a slight edge to guitar and other string players as the finger dexterity might be helpfully in giving a handjob. On the other hand, I think playing a flute/wind instrument might be better for blow jobs as you add the element of breath and coordinated movement between the mouth and fingers. I don't see an advantage either way for lifting weights, however, you might be able to come up with some interesting positions to have sex with the help of some exercise equipment. I think having smaller hands might be a slight advantage in certain situations. For example, large hands might have trouble keeping a grasp on a small penis. Of course in that situation, I'd just pop it in my mouth and let my hands explore other areas.

When I was a teen, I wished I had an identical twin I could explore with. We'd have the same fetishes, kinks, and desires, and the same level of horny lust. So, yes, back then I definitely would have fucked myself. As for today, I'm still looking for my twin.

It's only illegal if you get caught. I'm not a legal expert but I don't think there are any laws specifically against it. I suppose if someone wanted to make an issue out of it, you could be charged with being a public nuisance for hanging around the men's room, or if you put something in the the urinal that stopped it from flushing properly, you could be accused of vandalism. However, it's probably unlikely that it would go that far. If you were caught, you could always claim that you just saw the cup and were trying to get rid of it. You wouldn't have to admit that you were the one that put it there or that you were going to drink the contents. Most likely the worst that would ever happen would be getting asked to leave the club. An empty cup in the urinal is probably the most effective way to get piss, but if you are worried about potential problems, you could avoid any accusations of vandalism by putting the cup on top of the urinal (assuming there is a ledge) instead of inside. Put a post-it on it that says something like: "Can you fill the cup?" You may not get as much random piss, but drunk guys like challenges so you'll probably get someone to go for it. Plus, you'd know that anyone who pissed in it did it intentionally for you. Another thing you could try is placing an empty bottle in a stall with a note like: "Recycle beer here". It would provide the challenge and a more private spot for some guy to take it. The down side to this is you might get someone who spits it the bottle. Old tobacco spit is not something you want to taste,

The first things that probed my ass, when I was around 6 or 7, were toy soldiers and a pen. Later, in my teens, I had a "director's chair". I could slide the back off and slide my ass onto one of the supports. Hot dogs and bananas were good too as I could quickly eat the evidence.

I live in Gainesville but spent a lot of time in the bookstores around there until gas prices soared and the monkeypox outbreak. If I was down there now I'd be begging to take your loads.

My father passed away over 10 years ago so it would be a bit ... problematic ... if he showed up at a glory hole now. I don't know if I could get over the whole Zombie-back-from-the-dead vibe I'm sure he'd be giving off. But seriously, it's an interesting question because I've never been attracted to anyone in my family, but I've sucked the cocks of guys that I wasn't attracted to, just to get the load. So, yeah, it wouldn't matter if it was a relative or I knew the guy from somewhere -- I'd suck it. If it had happened back when I was in the closet, it definitely would have weirded me out and I wouldn't have known how to act around him for a while afterwards. If it happened now (zombies excluded) it wouldn't be a big deal. A cock coming through a glory hole is there to be sucked, and I'd like having that secret knowledge of getting him off.
