Thanks @rawTOP. How is your recovery going??

I'm in that 10% chance shown by genetic testing. I have half of the two possible CCR5 gene so resistant, but not immune here.

I am a strong proponent of "your body, your choice". Unless there was a medical need it isn't something I imagine.

As has become your traditon, a fine piece of horny writing @Vancrawman

Fun to do. I let excel do the heavy lifting. My number is 320

What a terrific story @bentover4u1972. My hope for you is that it was true. But regardless a great piece of erotic chaser writing. Bravo!!!

Thanks @viking8x6 That page opens with this: Following a comprehensive review of evidence, the NBHW concluded that the evidence base for hormonal interventions for gender-dysphoric youth is of low quality, and that hormonal treatments may carry risks. NBHW also concluded that the evidence for pediatric transition comes from studies where the population was markedly different from the cases presenting for care today. In addition, NBHW noted increasing reports of detransition and transition-related regret among youth who transitioned in recent years. NBHW emphasized the need to treat gender dysphoric youth with dignity and respect, while providing high quality, evidence-based medical care that prioritizes long-term health. NBHW also emphasized that identity formation in youth is an evolving process, and that the experience of natural puberty is a vital step in the development of the overall identity, as well as gender identity. In light of above limitations in the evidence base, the ongoing identity formation in youth, and in view of the fact that gender transition has pervasive and lifelong consequences, the NBHW has concluded that, at present, the risks of hormonal interventions for gender dysphoric youth outweigh the potential benefits. As a result of this determination, the eligibility for pediatric gender transition with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones in Sweden will be sharply curtailed. Only a minority of gender dysphoric youth—those with the “classic” childhood onset of cross-sex identification and distress, which persist and cause clear suffering in adolescence—will be considered as potentially eligible for hormonal interventions, pending additional, extensive multidisciplinary evaluation. For all others, including the now-prevalent cohort of youth whose transgender identities emerged for the first time during or after puberty, psychiatric care and gender-exploratory psychotherapy will be offered instead. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis, and the number of clinics providing pediatric gender transition will be reduced to a few highly specialized centralized care centers.

If I ever got the chance I would love to play together with you

If I ever get a chance to meet Joel Someone in person we are going to fuck...

Excellent start!

Politics and religion have joined in an alarming rate. Too little is mentioned about WHY separation of church and state. I hope we begin to embrace that separation more publicly.

I've already experienced ebb and flow of public opinion. That said I agree with you; those four words often are the source of undesirable behaviors and our trajectory hasn't turned yet. History is filled with periods of tolerance and intolerance. And look globally; so many are still under the thumb of religion. And while certainly much social good has come from religion over the millennia; a whole lot of the evil foisted upon our fellow man has been at the behest of organized religion.

Nice months have passed, how has this evolved @sthrnguy?

Definitely Van. We all know the social pendulum swings. I am hoping it will slow its course soon and start to swing back.

Thanks. I was expecting they were.

Thanks @viking8x6 Hopefully we didn't lose BootmanLA as a result.

@Jaygusher that bottom guy looks very much like YOU

Perhaps you should clue him in....

Honestly if it was the first time I played with a guy, even if we had discussed his desire to not have a safe word and clear instructions to not pull out no matter what; as I would not know him very well I might stop anyway. Unless, perhaps, I had a signed document in hand from him.

@rawTOP wishing you a speedy and thorough recovery.

I think there is a lot of me that trends towards introvert. But I push myself frequently to develop a practise of extrovert. Public office has helped that a lot. So has leading projects.

I am wishing you the best rawTOP.

My clinic standard STI testing is quite thorough so they check that routinely.

Sure @Bttml00king I am happy to share. There were no symptoms at all. Treatment was an antibiotic. It took three treatments to knock it out for me over four years. Jim

It took several treatments for me to get rid of this one.... But finally....
