We sound two of a kind. That could describe me…

If it is an addiction, it’s not one I intend giving up any time soon…
-
I totally agree. Without knowing the motives of the woman - which may or may not be well-intentioned - acting on hearsay can be a very perilous path.
-
I’ll only add the caveat that I haven’t been since before Covid, so it might have changed - as many thjngs have.
-
Leaving aside the fact there’s nothing actually wrong with “old geezers” - you may be one yourself one day 😂 - your information is incorrect. Sailors has always been populated by authentic East End geezers of all ages, which makes a refreshing change from saunas up West.

Another “same here” here.
-
I have a fuckbud who does exactly that.

Although I was only an occasional visitor to Chariots, as I don’t live in London, I did visit over the years and wholeheartedly agree with your assessment that they didn’t seem arsed in the last few years. There was a sense of them being jaded and going through the motions on some of my visits. It’s a shame, because back in the day a visit to Chariots could be thrilling. Maybe I’m being unfair and it was just my bad luck to catch them on off days.

I haven’t used one in years. I never carry them and have none in the apartment when I entertain. They just aren’t on my radar. And here in Manchester, I’m not sure many guys use them at all anymore.

Most guys will go in raw given the chance.

Increase on getting ghosted on apps?

Haha. I’m sure you’re not. The perils of abbreviation. -

This is very true. That said, I’ve found that the quality of meets from apps I have had this past year - admittedly bending restrictions a little - have been with some of the most terrific guys I’ve ever met online. One from BBRT has become a fabulous fuckbud as has another from BBRT, who I found lives in the next building… There is also a BZ regular, who I finally met last year after months of chatting, who is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met/played with (he knows who he is!) . -
Your post brings up a really interesting dilemma and it’s hard to give advice. As far as I can see, your information is based on the word of a third party who may, or may not, have her own agenda. I’m a little unclear if she knows you’re gay. If she does, she may be entirely altruistic in warning you - or may have more Machiavellian reasons to stir things. If she doesn’t, she may suspect you are and is trying to test it. Or, she might just be sharing some titbit of information about a co-worker. It might be instructive to know why she has told you this. We are all human and it’s only natural to feel some bitterness to someone you otherwise respect and rate. I would feel the same - also if I learned a co-worker was racist or anti-Semitic. If you found out that this woman is telling the truth and if his homophobia would impact on his role, then you certainly have much to ponder. Otherwise, I should rise above it and perhaps just be aware of it. Interestingly, I have just left a company in the UK where I was very much able to be open. In fact, I spotted two co-workers on BBRT and if I ever opened Grindr at work I would see a dozen more. All forms of discrimination were frowned upon and I could talk openly about partners, and invite them to company events. But I had one line-manager who, while outwardly very liberal, one just knew had a problem with gay men. Nothing was ever said, or acted upon, but instinctively one knew it was there. That is an equally difficult path to navigate.

Time for BBRT to reopen the party listings
SpectreAgent replied to Truversebb's topic in General Discussion
You’re absolutely right. Guys have been meeting up all the way through. It will be interesting to see how busy the saunas will be once they’re allowed to reopen next week. -
Ah, the red triangle programming on Channel 4. I recall being bitterly disappointed one week to have gone to all the subterfuge of creeping back downstairs to watch the TV with the sound turned right down while my parents slept (why the hell weren’t AirPods invented for another 30 years?) only to find they were focussing on a Lesbian who used her own pubic hair in her art. Queer As Folk it wasn’t!

FabGuys is surprisingly good here in Manchester. A lot of closeted married guys, of course, but they’ll still go in raw. Grindr and Scruff have been very active during lockdown locally, but BBRT has inexplicably waned a tad in recent weeks despite our easing restrictions.

The men’s underwear and swimwear pages in Freeman’s catalogues…

“Working in the porn industry as I do…” would probably be the very definition of an ideal life for some…

Money can’t buy happiness. But it sure as hell makes misery a lot more bearable.
-
I agree. I’m finding myself drawn more to amateur porn for those very reasons. It’s the authenticity, I guess.
-
Fuckbuds are the best. All of the benefits. None of the slamming of doors or throwing of crockery.
-
I can only speak from a UK/Manchester perspective, but I can’t recall the last time any guy asked to use a rubber in an encounter. It’s sort of a given now that any guy will go in raw.

Second AZ jab done this morning.
-
In the UK, the government opted for a twelve week interval to allow more people to be vaccinated asap. The plummeting infection and death rates here appear to suggest it was the correct call. I had my first AZ shot 11th February and have my second on Friday - less than a week before the 12 week deadline was up.

The beauty of the Uber option is the possibility of the Uber driver himself. Wouldn’t be my first time...
