I think longest for me didn't exceed two hours. I guess I am easily bored??? LOL

Good on you Philip for not just going with the name brand. Nothing wrong with Yamaha; but a good reputation shouldn't be our only choice. Some decades ago now I bought my first Hyundai. Hyundai's entry into the US with the relatively crappy Excel didn't give them the best start. But they were obviously working to change that with one hell of a warranty. My first one covered anything for the first 100,000 miles. And almost nothing went wrong. Everything felt like it was in the right place. and even though inexpensive, had a lot of features only the high priced entries had. I've never regretted that. It wasn't a Toyota, but I didn't give up anything either... Save that a few coworkers gave me grief that I bought a sh!tmobile. In the end.... Balance. Hmm, it is just one of those things we'll always do, kinda like breathing. Some days that is a bit more challenging, somedays it feels like there is no log to fall off of. Every day is a practice. 🙂 I submit that you're already having the time of your life...

There is another media source I recently tapped into. I try not to follow the chaos each day, much less each hour, and record Rachel Maddow's show each week. A summary helps me as I don't have to engage emotions in things over which I have zero control at the moment. I am content to be aware and not step into the drama. My Previously mentioned 2x weekly podcast takes that information and adds context. I get my weekly local newspaper which takes me maybe 30 minutes to get current. And finally, I record the 30 minute local The Milwaukee Journal station, skip over the drama that doesn't apply to me; catch a decent national weather report and let it all go. Instead I've happened along a YouTube channel. There are a couple of Yard Cleanup summarized to half an hour or an hour to see chaos become orderly. One in particular, a fellow over in Detroit area, has his own version of that called Midlife Stockman. He recently left corporate life as his YouTube success grew. Easy on the eyes, articulate and pleasurable voice. (he could lower the machine volume by half). But his mission he has adopted is soul healing stuff. None of this has anything to do with the disease we share. But after six month of 47, I just needed relief. But I mention Sean Stockman's channel as he is a lovely blend of altruism, realistic, and gratitude. Maybe a touch too much gratitude, but I really need that right now... We, us here, most of us around see the benefit in community. And our community isn't just one idea, or one important thing, or one enjoyable attribute. Our lives are a sum of diverse interests, activities, challenges and pleasures. But we are one. We are, as I see it, one human family. We do well when we do well to ourselves AND others. I think us American's aren't in disagreement about what we need. But others are trying to tell us what we need, no matter what we see in front of us ourselves. It sort of feels like we're in the Hunger Games and none of us signed up for that.

Which, of course, is the definition of a size queen....

One thing that always confuses me are guys who say NO because I am pierced, even though I might not be wearing a PA. Seems the fact that I did is too scary for them...

Hard my mate's cock is about half an inch longer. We're of similar girth; early on we got something which then was called clone-a-willy, did that and enjoyed those for a time. Both of us are growers.

I think it is adequate to understand that sexual openness isn't common across the globe much less your community. More than regions being sex averse, many individuals in your same town are. Social norms around the world have always varied. Shoot sometimes they vary quite a bit from one town to another.

Your teacher and you.... Clearly you're learning. As we learn our brains reveals questions. When we ask, we're exploring it; taking it in. So the teachers role is to answer your questions on what you're teaching yourself, and to provide observational feedback from a more informed POV. We've all seen some people who seem to expect knowledge to just be dumped in somehow. You seem to be engaging in the moment. It made a huge difference for me when I did that. Not that we don't look ahead, just that we try to avoid getting stuck there. Crap, is it time to quote Professor Higgins? "By jove, I think he's got it!!!". 🙂

@hntnhole indeed and well phrased; an interesting hypothesis. If anything comes of those studying, I'll be interested to read their data and rationale. I'm a poll worker and am pretty close to how it all works. Having had a career in logic; and knowing how many reviews have occurred, including some hand recounts in my state; I am not counting on it being proven true. So yeah, interesting hypothesis. A couple of "maybe logically possible" but with no other corroborating data, not counting on it. I was surprised and disappointed when grandpa Joe said "yes" for a second term. Was it a pissing match of two old guys (not far off from being peers of mine; we're within four years of each other)? There's been a bit too much of that; and not the fun way in my generation. The strongest candidate in any race, is the one who shows themself to be the most capable of drawing together an effective team. And only a few do well at that. IMO the sweet spot for presidents would be the 50 to 70 window. Combined with a demonstrated ability to work through complex facts with trustworthy advisors to make the many difficult decisions that go with any leadership job. But unlike CEO's presidents also set or reflect the moral compass (historically). And maybe that is exactly where we are collectively. Too much Game of Thrones and Hunger Games worldview that we are all competitors.

I would have done the same brother...

Nice story @chunkychains!!!

Having delighted in being fucked by both white and black (and asian, latino, ...) men; if my eyes were closed I would not know. Ditto language although indeed many black men have a particular way of speaking. Big dicks vs small? Of course I can feel that difference although big is not necessarily better and small is not necessarily worse. What bothers me is why we continue to pretend one race is better than another. Or worse than another? When are we all gonna drop that nonsense?

With your eyes closed, how do you know the color of the cock?

Considering the 24 election, our system has determined the election won by Trump. And at least in the local election (where I am a poll worker); it appears unlikely the Dominion voting machine we use to tally paper ballots was in sync for valid ballots in and counted; I didn't sort them by Donnie, Kamala and other myself. So I can't attest to the accuracy. I'm sure many of us have some awareness of at least exploration by some on whether Elon and his networks enabled a loophole. To me that sounds sort of flat earther. Then too; the actions of ICE and HHS are deeply concerning. And the disconnect has me at least glad that someone is exploring the "did Elon somehow influence how votes were counted". Resistance to Donnie and his cult antics seems to be rising; and so, time will tell right?

Phil, sounds like great personal progress. Your dad's advice resonates with me; perhaps because I am more in line with your dad's age than yours. We humans are great at fretting things we have little control over. And sometimes we go overboard on the less urgent interests and fail to take care of the basics. Here in the US I know we elected a clown as POTUS. But I can't spend every day protesting. I won't the the other self care stuff done; which includes things I do which cares for my community and neighbors. All of us lives somewhere. The geography around us is our community. To the degree we participate in making our employer successful should lead to our own success. And when it doesn't then clearly we have the wrong employer for us. But the idea applies to the rest. Neighborhoods form mostly because different talents come together and create a more comfortable place for all. At least those are to me the elements of wherever we live. We keep our house up because we like a kept up house. And we have the time to make that so. Not everyone else does. When we have spare time, do we use some of that to help someone else? When we think "life is hard", sometimes it is helpful to reflect on those "if not for this or that, life would be worse".

To some extent, maybe our challenge is recognizing where the insane genius gets his power? When I allow it to happen, this whole shit show is exhausting. I thought the purpose of electing representatives is that they would, actually, represent us. But they don't. Take this big bastardly bill... Much of this takes effect after the 2026 elections. So whatever happens in the lives of constituents won't be felt until the current fktards are voted out of office. And then the public will start to experience the shit show, get pissed off at those then in office and vote them out. Everything they do in DC should be able to be digested, summarized and recounted by Walter Cronkite. But now we have a million voices often saying completely different things. Some fact bases and a lot BS based. It feels like we need fact checkers to check the fact checkers to check the "media" and help us slough off the crap to help us focus...

You mean the "conservatives" are pushing us all together?

Driving choice... Do we take the toll road which saves us time? Or the scenic way? Isn't that kind of the basic ongoing life choice we make, pretty much all the time? On one hand, easily answered by "what do I need right now?". But also answered by "what will do me the most good?". I'll toss in something becoming more common here in the US. How much does home delivery cost? While I can drive; pretty much unless I'm buying fresh foods, having it delivered makes some sense. Again though, it comes down to balancing time and money. But I've noticed there are a lot of pantry items I get that I have delivered, because often when I go to a local store they are out of stock. It makes more sense for me then to go to whomever has it vs the close place.... Dating... Most don't lead to "the lifelong relationship". But some can lead to enduring friendships. In fact, friendships in general for me seem to fall into proximity camps. Over time I find myself less in touch with those whose proximity is further. So as my adult life evolved, job changes, relocations, change of primary partnership... So also did my circle of friends. Sibling relationships have also changed as they moved off to the coasts while I remained in the midwest.

50 years of gay porn and I need to pick a favorite? Sorry, too many great ones. Some of the amateur ones have had a more authentic energy to them. But the eye candy in some of the studio ones are a delight as well.

@Pozguyinchi It's just a matter of proximity sexy man. I think we'll have our naked time one day....

And perhaps this was inevitable. It might be a consequence of man on man sex being more accepted. Or at least we were getting there. Socially our community seems to be picking up more of the historically straight norms. And honestly from a health perspective ATM does many times result in GI problems. But not always.

I imagine. Tat's seem to be the thing more than piercings now. I got my PA in 2008 (TG I took some photos because it is the date stamp that helps me recall). Various sizes over the years. The one I most commonly wear is a 6ga that tucks inside my foreskin most of the time. And after a few days the hole gets irritated. Writing this though makes me think; maybe I need to change it out once a day???

I find it annoying that Wisconsin patrols parks so well. Or at least in the cruising areas we used pre Covid.

Yes, and then I ask myself, "awesome for who?". I love my mate. If he wanted to poz I would certainly bring him into the fold (as it were). But while I am not fretting being poz, some people do and I don't want to be the guy to sneak that into their life. That said, it's really up to us to care for the body we live in however we see fit. And I think that suggests the fault is us if we just assume...
