I don't recall "handjobs" magazine, but "first hand" was pretty much like that too.

Same as @Erik62. Since I pozzed my fuck buddy inventory dropped considerably.

Oddly though it wasn't always crappy. Grandpa here I guess, if I twist my mouth just right I can manage a "by cracky back in the 90's...". But, I did meet my husband on gay.com back then. And at the time it was a decent way to stay in touch. But we still had bookstores, baths, bars as in person meeting places. That whole infrastructure is massively smaller now; replaced by phone aps where we can search for our specification. In person we catch each others eye and went from there.

Hmmm, maybe it is time for us to get back to in-person meeting places and for the most part drop the aps????

HSV, HPV and HIV. I guess I've got the H's covered? mgen (never been certain exactly what that one is); chlamydia, ghono.

Thanks @tallslenderguy. I appreciate your thoughtful post. How was your vacation in Mexico? Were you able to at least temporarily avoid the noise from donnie for awhile? The rhetoric from him is divisive. Donnie acts as the classic schoolyard bully. As always with bullies, there are classmates who are "on their side" (at least for awhile) and those who perhaps have been bullied by him before, and actually learned what they needed to do going forward from that experience. At his core though, his method has been to obfuscate facts. If I can get others to believe in my "facts" which might be observably incorrect; he gets a member of his club (as it were). Donnie opened his first full day in office in 2016 with a bald faced lie, in calling it the largest inauguration ever. And perhaps, honestly I don't have the numbers to back it up and honestly, I don't care to compare success of an inauguration by what it cost; but rather by things like "what he said" and "crowd participation". And in our modern world, how do we know how many people actually viewed it. Does it matter if it was playing on an unwatched TV? (assuming network can track which channel has most endpoints tuned in moment to moment)? There are thousands of public places with TVs playing things like the presidential inauguration in public places everywhere. That doesn't mean people are actually watching it. So I find it difficult to believe that viewership is a legitimate metric. There are people who are attracted to donnies personality. I find his personality repulsive. He isn't the only human I've known like that. It is of course our society at large who votes. So voting results are a blend of emotion and reason. Political advertising has leaned hard into emotion. One is to be pissed off at someone at the end of them; and they measure success by the number of calls made to the "call senator XYZ and tell him what a mutherfucker he is"... With a number to call. A whole lot of people conflate what the person says to what the party says; failing to observe any dichotomy. They go after their winning team. Some voters actually listen to the people they might vote for to hear directly from them what their platform is. And votes might better be a metric of media success now than reasoned decisions. This suggests some systemic changes we might make as a society on how we collectively come to beneficial decisions. Unfortunately, all of us can better understand today the difference between what donnie said when campaigning and what donnie is saying, and doing now. Some will still blindly align with anything he says and never connect that to why shit costs more everywhere, and wonder where cousin ABC has gone to.

Although at the moment we are in a constitutional crisis.

@hntnhole although it would appear that education has left off critical thinking as an objective.

I'm thinking T has enjoyed Putin's cock a time or twenty.

@PissPigBrooklyn Nah you're not too old my friend.

The benefits of VPN isn't just to sidestep censorship. They protect you in ways unrelated to censorship. I was using VPN long before any of the site censorship became an issue.

And while there are some around who don't have facts on their side, more often than not others do. It is healthy to discuss, learn from each other. Consider alternative points of view.
