  1. One thing I think many of us can be guilty of is not updating our photos. I know I am. It’s tempting to do the photographic equivalent of that old gag “I’ve been 39 for five years and I hope to get another three years out of it” but even so, it’s a tad dishonest to have ancient photos on a profile. I realised mine on BBRT were a bit Dorian Gray in reverse (I was decaying while my portraits stayed relatively youthful) so I recently updated them and all are now 2023.
  2. I’m pretty sure I’d be up for any of your kinks or fantasies…😉
  3. A therapist could make a career out of those two alone.
  4. I think there were definite weird vibes in that relationship. A couple - one English, one Spanish - once picked me up at a sex party and took me to their rather expensive pad in Greenwich. The English guy drew up a chair and wanted to watch his Spanish partner fucking me, which I found....interesting. But this was on a whole differnt level of weirdness.
  5. I met a really fit blond Scottish guy on Hampstead Heath one night. He suggested we go back to his place, which was the other side of London. Ordinarily, I would have said no - there’s always plenty of other catches to be had down the Heath. But the blond hair and Scottish accent swayed me. I followed in my car for an eternity, got to his and then struggled to find a parking space. Anyway, we eventually get to his bedroom and start shagging. Then he stopped and asked me to give him a few minutes. He eventually came back dressed as a schoolboy. Little cap, short trousers, the whole look. He said all he wanted us to do was for me to spank him with a wooden ruler. Then his flatmate came in and sat on the edge of the bed. She looked like Kathy Burke in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (Google her if you don’t know) and asked if she could watch! I drove halfway across bloody London at 2am for that.
  6. Those of us who frequented The Fort can perhaps guess better than most what’s real…😂
  7. Tell the story as you want to. Don’t be influenced by pressure to deliver from others. If you rush, you may look back afterwards and regret it because it wasn’t what you wanted to say.
  8. I don’t think I understand the question…
  9. I was going to say it's because of the quality of the writing and the clarity of the storytelling and... ...but,no, you hit the nail on the head.
  10. I can't be alone in dreading the day when there's no TBC at the end of one of these chapters...
  11. That's really interesting because I asked my NHS consultant about HIV injections a few months ago as I was going travelling to the States and I thought it might be easier than carrying my meds over. She downplayed the efficacy of the injections, as she says the relative failure rate is too high for her to recommend it. She was prepared to go down that route if I was finding the pill regime too hard to follow but since it doesn't bother me at all I haven't pursued it. I got the impression that it might be a different story a couple of years down the line, though.
  12. My experience mirrors that of @GymAddict If anything, my sexual encounters went up. I wasn’t a Covid denier and, in fact, have now had 6 jabs. But working in the media made me a lockdown/mask sceptic because I witnessed first hand how the media was whipping up hysteria for clickbait. My cynicism only increased when those of us working in television production were considered “an essential industry” (really?) and given permits to travel, which felt all very “Show me your papers!” It was a bit like being given a Golden Ticket. The Swedish response, much derided at the time, is now being vindicated by every major study into Covid policies. But I digress. I, too, had two houses during this period, and travelled every week between the two. Grindr, Scruff, BBRT and FabGuys (especially FabGuys) were busier than normal in Manchester (but flaking declined considerably, interestingly enough) and because I had an apartment in MediaCity and could accommodate, let’s say I didn’t go without. I must say that I did form a bbubble for a while, so my hookups were more regular. In that sense, my behaviour did alter a bit. At my apartment block there, which was curious mix of showbiz folk and drug dealers, there were parties every weekend. But, then, our Lords and Masters in Downing Street who came up Covid restrictions were partying, too, (a reference only Brits might get). Do I feel guilty about any of this? Not a jot. I took an informed risk assessment and acted accordingly. I found much of the reporting from some of my colleagues reprehensible, especially as I knew many of them, too, were breaching Covid restrictions. But then many, if not most, people did if they’re honest with themselves. Some just bent the rules more than others.
  13. I doubt you’re unique in that experience. Not only have most of us worn that T-shirt, it’s now being used to clean the windows. However, I have been known to blank guys in the sauna when I’ve been to vain to wear my spectacles and don’t have any contacts with me…
  14. I wonder how many of us are on tenterhooks and constantly checking for a new instalment of this one…?
  15. Have you got yourself one of the rooms with a sling?
  16. I don’t know about the rest of the world, but the hayfever season in the UK has been horrific this year for many of us.
  17. Everyone’s experience is different. No one is right or wrong on this question. Speaking for myself, I largely ignore it. I take my pills each morning and then forget about it. It’s just part of who I am. I suffer from severe hayfever, too. And I take medication for that daily in the season. Of the two, I find the hayfever the more troublesome. And that’s not me being flippant. HIV doesn’t impact on me financially because here in the UK I don’t pay for my meds. As someone who’s always tried to turn a negative into a positive (although in this case it’s more a positive into a positive) I resolved on diagnosis to exercise regularly and eat as well as I can. The result is that, ironically, I’m fitter than I’ve ever been in my life.
  18. Older guys. Because they have that niggling fear in the back of their minds thst they might be doing it for the last time and so put more effort in… Seriously, someone put it best earlier by saying everyone brings something different to the table. Was it Mae West who said “you’re as young as the man you feel?”
  19. My ex’s former partner was on AZT and my ex swears to this day that it rotted him from within.
  20. Back in the days before Grindr and even Gaydar (God, that dates me!) we had the premium chat lines, where you could rack up telephone bills of £500 in a few days. And I did. It was so not worth it as the chances of actually hooking up were akin to winning the lottery. But I did hookup with a guy in Greenwich, south London. No pictures, of course, so I’d no idea what he looked like. Turns out I had won the sexual lottery as he was gorgeous and obviously loaded, judging from his apartment. After we’d finished, he wanted to give me £100. I didn’t know whether to be insulted or not and I refused it. He insisted I take it and I suddenly realised it was the paying for it that got him off. I’d become a rent-boy by default. I saw him a few times after that. And each time he paid me. I never felt wholly comfortable with it. On the other hand, it did pay off some phone bills…
  21. I’m guessing you haven’t spent much time in Manchester, then…? When news leaks out that a top has arrived in town, he’s devoured like a Snickers bar thrown over the wall of a fat camp.
  22. I have made a note of that…😂
