Being really pedantic here, but Malaysia, and Indonesia adopted Islam way before the colonial era. The people were definitely Hindu and Buddhist before the adoption of Islam. This is evidenced by 1. Candi Prambanan, ('candi' originally coming from the word 'chaitya') which is the temple dedicated to Brahma, one of the rare temples dedicated to this deity. 2. Candi Mendut, a Mahayana temple dedicated to Vairocana, Avalokitesvara, and Vajrapani. 3. Candi Plaosan, Borobudur, and the thousands of Hindu temples in Bali. There are hundreds of loanwords from Sanskrit. But, the Islamisation of Malaysia and Indonesia occurred with Arab, Persian, and Gujarati and Tamil Muslim traders coming to the area, from the 900s onwards. The Malacca Sultanate from 1400 onwards, and the various Sultanates really sped up the adoption of Islam way before the Portuguese and Dutch came to trade in the Spice Islands. Also, Bali is majority Hindu, and has been so since the 1400s as well. All in all, to say that Islam has been entrenched here for quite a long while. The modern interpretation of Islam is what I was talking about with the two countries becoming increasingly conservative, and anti LGBTQ,

from all that you see on the ground, is Florida turning as purple as you say? That would be such a welcome change.

like so many people here, I had my first experience raw.... it was the just, just, just prior to the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, and practically no one gay used condoms then. Loved the closeness, the incredible feeling of shooting in a warm ass, all wet and as I was sliding in, pulling out, with my foreskin aiding in making the back and forth so much more fun. Really got into the feeling of a cock without any wrapping going deeper into my fuckhole. Loved sucking on his capped cock too, especially the precum pouring out of his piss slit. Then, I became so very pro-condom. Had to, in order to survive. What brought me around to my bareback stance was going for the first time to the Flex Saunas in Atlanta in July 1996, just after Pride. Got fucked, pissed on, ate ass, had a guy treat my hole like an all-evening ice cream.... used a couple of condoms, and a few guys cum with rubbers, and it just isn't the same. When you can feel a guy shoot his load in you, you know that you've been really fucked.

like this one? Mindy Kaling and Kamala Harris' have mothers that come from Tamil Nadu, in South IINDIA....Harris mentions Besant Nagar, which is the upscale, ritzy schnitzy section of Chennai. I don't think there's any part of North America named Besant Nagar. Does her race matter? No - but only to the section of the population desperate to hang on to white privilege.

Like most of the people here, I LOVE fucking bare. I LOVE getting loads in my hole. I think, fairly or unfairly, I tend to be a little cautious around tweaking guys in saunas. It's not that I don't trust them, but it's that it's kinda difficult to give consent when one is not sober. I try my best to give my status to all potential fuck mates... but then, when my partner is in the midst of a meth trip, I can't depend on them to understand the choices of going bare. That's it -

If you really want to play with guys that are older/less conventionally beautiful, go to Sauna Centreville.... 1465 St Catherine St E, Montreal, Quebec H2L 2H9

Don’t fret ….the way people are just jonesing for PP to become PM means we’re soon going to the polls. Not a matter of if, but when.

Is that what you’ve gleaned of Harris from what must be endless tuning into Faux News? I fail to see how Comrade Conman meets anyone’s intellectual criteria, when we all know he has his nose so far up Putin’s ass he knows who Vlad swallowed this morning.

I think that rules, for all they are worth, put structure into what is allowed and what isn’t. Already, there are those who would like nothing better than to see us go away. That’s the issue. We can understand why discussions about underage sex are worth banning, but why talk about chasing other stds aren’t. I think it’s because, the moderators here have to impose some modicum of rules.

1. Preferably uncut, thick, nice big balls that I can squeeze. 2. LOVE versatile guys who get turned on by flip-fucking. 3. Love guys into nipple play, and by that I mean, sometimes, heavy biting, and nipple toys. 4. Thick and fit without being a gym rat. Daddies are sexy if they take care of their bodies. 5. A little raunch like smeg - I won't say no to

[think before following links] https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/harris-trump-poll-asian-american-voters-rcna172255 Most Asian American voters intend to vote Democratic, partly in response to the presence of a woman running for the White House. [think before following links] https://apiavote.org/harris-leads-trump-by-38-points-among-asian-american-voters-increasing-bidens-lead-by-23-points-among-fastest-growing-group-of-voters/ Among Asian-Americans, there is a 38 point lead in favour of Harris. The rhetoric of Trump, such as describing COVID-19 as the China virus, or 'kung flu' probably alienated many Asian voters, especially Chinese-Americans, the largest-growing sector of eligible Asian-American voters. [think before following links] https://aapidata.com/featured/asian-americans-are-flocking-to-kamala-harris-why/ Well over a third of Asian American voters (38%) say that Harris’ identity as a woman is “extremely important” or “very important” to them, with significantly smaller proportions indicating the same about her racial identities as Indian/South Asian (25%) and as an African American (24%) or about her age (25%). The findings were not statistically different among Indian American voters, who arguably share even closer ethnic affinity to Harris.

Why, yes….when it’s coffee-flavoured, beer-flavoured, beet-flavoured, I will swallow and love it.

I would like to thank the akash (the sky) for the fact that hubs and I didn’t move to Chiangmai in the North of Thailand before he died. I got the distinct feeling that, when our mortgage came up for renewal in March 2018, he would have sold our condo, and at the cheapest price ever just to wash his hands of it, even though I was half owner, and would have kicked up a fuss about not making repairs so we could get top dollar. Even more thankful that we hadn’t actually made the transition to Thailand. It’s already heart-rendering enough to lose a spouse; it’s even more anguishing to be confronted by a spouse who didn’t prepare for his demise. Greg just couldn’t be bothered to make his will. How do I know? Coz I fucking chased him for it, but he connived his way out of making his will because he wanted to leave something to his son and the condo was the only thing he had of value. I can’t fathom how I would have managed in a country where I would’ve been a long-term retiree, not even a permanent resident.

I am wondering if a biohazard tattoo as a tramp stamp is sufficient notice of HIV status? I have often thought of inking my cheek or my lower back…

Respectfully, this ruling by the Supreme Court doesn't encourage people to get tested, because once you know your status, you ARE OBLIGATED BY THE LAW to tell someone who you want to bareback with there is a distinct possibility of acquiring HIV from the act. Yes, I do say this to everyone, but it's 2024. There are people from the wop wops who don't know anything about HIV transmission? As a gay man, isn't it necessary to find out whether the act that one engages in could possibly result in a HIV-positive test result? The Department of Justice may have released that statement, but I know of people who have had to register as sex offenders because of non-disclosure of their HIV status. [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.hivjustice.net/country/ca/ca-quebec/. This is a case of someone I know personally, because we volunteer in the same NGO. [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.journaldequebec.com/2019/12/09/atteint-du-vih-il-recidive-en-prison. The article states "Plutôt que d’y récupérer des médicaments pour un problème cardiaque comme il le faisait croire, la victime a plutôt découvert qu’il s’agissait de la trithérapie pour traiter le VIH. L’ex-conjoint et son nouveau partenaire ont immédiatement fait un dépistage qui s’est heureusement avéré négatif. Ils avaient porté plainte par la suite...". (Rather than retrieving medication for a heart condition, as he would have us believe, the victim discovered that it was HIV triple therapy. The ex-spouse and his new partner immediately took a test, which fortunately proved negative. They subsequently filed a complaint.) The person mentioned in the article was already on triple therapy, but it didn't matter, as he was sentenced to 43 months in prison for sexual assault. He also has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Rather than being alarmist, these prosecutions are taking place in Québec, which, as you may or may not be aware of, still carries the moral outrage of Catholic spinster nuns despite 50 plus years of secular public life. It may not be happening in your neck of the woods, but it sure as hell is in mine. I get it - tell everyone ad nauseam, but there should be protections under the law, which don't exist in Québec. Under Québec law, you being poz, and not taking medication would be subject to prosecution for non-disclosure. Even if you DID disclose your status, it's your word against your complainant's.

I come from a similar place - I DETEST having to be uncomfortable when my manhole is blocked. It happens, and even though I eat enough fibre, and have very regular movements, sometimes someone comes over and wants to fuck right now, right then. So, the water bottle has gotta come out, get filled up with warm, sudsy water, have the hose attached and then the so lovely and delicate rotor rooter emptying out happens. I once took a mere ten minutes to prep when Greg (late hubs) decided to bonk as we watched CBC news. But it was enough to kill the vibe. Likewise, I want to MURDER someone who presents a really dirty hole. (yes, I am THAT versatile), It's an instant boner killer. But, them's the breaks. Our playgrounds get a little muddy. But we try our best.

Thing is, we pay lots of taxes to get the medical care we have, so it’s not free. Québec has one of the highest tax rates in Canada, and when I first got here, I had a bad case of orchitis and there were no beds available in the wards, so I slept in the corridors, along with a lady who was in constant pain, yelling and screaming the whole night. I was later told she had stage four cancer. But that was in 2003. Things have improved quite a bit since . When my hubs had his fatal heart attack, the ambulance came within a few minutes, and I wasn’t charged. It’s not perfect, but here in Quebec they’re trying to bring in a private healthcare system and nobody wants it.

Not in Québec….there’s a very strong influence from France on the culture, and people tend not to snip their baby dons. I do notice a generational divide, and mothers in the ‘50s and ‘60s were reticent to question their doctors. No such qualms exist for mod mums. Love my foreskinned gay brothers. But yeah, it’s hard finding cock cheese here too.

The current situation in Canada is that individuals who are aware of their HIV status have to inform their potential sexual partners when they both embark on a condomless relationship. The Supreme Court of Canada, in its infinite wisdom, has made this situation possible, and one result is that it does not encourage people to get tested. I am appalled the in 2024, there are adults who aren’t ready to take charge of their own sexuality and know the risks beforehand of foregoing condom use. Are there any differing opinions?

Because it’s his mother tongue? There’s also Deepl.

PREP and DOXYPrep, plus Valtrex is available. It's also incumbent to get the various vaccinations so you don't come down with Hep A, Hep B, HPV, Monkeypox, and quite honestly, it's much more fun feeling relaxed during sex.

When I was with Greg, strangely enough, the question never came up. I think asking the question would have meant they would have had to acknowledge that we were a couple. That said, who was the man? We both were. Who was the top? We both were. Who was the bottom? We both were. It’s been to the point where I met people who were tops or bottoms exclusively. That’s cool, but I much prefer having a versatile guy.

let it marinate

I am constantly amazed how quickly it turns from warm summer temperatures to a cold bloody day. What I find, and it's always been the case since the day I came to Montreal in 2002, is that my libido plummets to close to nothing when the temp. goes down. I lived in Georgia from 1994 - 2001, and while everyone else around me loved the change from sweltering stickiness to wearing several layers to keep warm. I detested this, still do. I wonder if it has to de with being HIV+ or just the fact that I grew up near the Equator. I am also wondering if there is anything you could suggest to make this better, to gain some hold on the winter blues that I go through every single year.
