I remain unimpressed with the President's response to Netanyahu's aggression. It's been too quiet over there for too long, and I've been wondering when the next blow-up would take place. The President is putty in Netanyahu's hands, and the PM of Israel has been self-serving for years. While T's latest response is his usual "I'll figure it out in a couple of weeks" reply to the major media's questions, the PM has been stirring this pot for years. He's used the "Iran issue" since he first was elected, and perhaps with good reason. Fanning the flames of religious differences is his calling card. This is a good example of why I turned my back on O.R. years ago; both sides claim to serve the One and Only Deity, and neither serves anyone but their own ambitions. The US has something around 40K soldiers in the general area, which T may use as an excuse to bomb Netanyahu's enemies to bits. But he can't do it without bombs from the US, and Trump is like putty in his well-experienced hands. All we can hope for, is "advisors" in our Government can dissuade Putty-brain from supporting this misadventure on the part of others. The straights of Hormuz could easily be closed if the US enters this mess, and that would cost the rest of the world dearly. The only "real" solution I see, are new elections in Israel. Until then, it's time to buckle the seat belts. We can't displace the ridiculous one for a few more years (but, we can take back Congress in a few months),

Ahhhh .... That depends on how 'in-your-face" you want to be. I think that whatever a straight couple could do to show affection for each other would apply across-the-board to gay couples. What you "ought" to do is, do what you feel comfortable doing, within the parameters of socially-accepted behavior. If you and I were in some store, deciding on whether or not to buy this or that, came to an agreement, a hug, a quick peck on the cheek, would be no problem, as I see it. We probably shouldn't fuck in the aisle, but then if we have bail money in our pockets, so what? You should do what you believe to be the right thing for you. Outside of starting a physical fight, no one should have an issue with some measure of PDA. If someone doesn't like it, then turn their face the other way. We won't advance our cause by being ashamed to openly love our partner.

Thanks for that intelligent post. Now. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SHIRT ????

That could well be, but there's a far more enticing way to demonstrate a mouth-full of cum: simply kiss it to some other guy.

To the OP though, a lot of the answer depends on the location. The responses would be different from different parts of the country. Some parts of the country wouldn't blink twice at PDA in public spaces - other places, not so much. In major metro areas, public displays of affection (depending on how "graphic" they are, obviously) would barely be noticed. In others, the most innocuous, limited expressions would be demeaned. I think each guy has to sniff this one out for himself; there isn't any cut-and-dried answer.

No surprise to me - a close relative lives just up the road from J.H., I've visited, and I wouldn't live there for love nor money. One morning I woke up to find a gigantic* moose staring in the window at me. Oh - and there's a grand total of 6 weeks of summer. *I mean, as big as a medium-sized, 6-passenger car

One of the things I learned was, we're a group of men with widely-varying interests. Not every guy is a total bottom, not every guy is a total Top, there's a wide array of inclinations available to us, and assumptions are simply inappropriate. Thus, my reliance on a "negotiation", however brief, to make sure each guy gets everything he wants and nothing he doesn't. Every guy usually enjoys at least one of the "basics" - fucking or sucking - and a brief "I like X, but I love Y" exchange can always make sex hot, as well as avoid regrettable mistakes. Or, just start in with one act, and if he responds well, keep at it. At the tubs, there are always plenty of other guys if one turns out to be not quite what you're there for.

"What's Guaranteed To Make You Cum?" It's not "guaranteed", but damn close; A well-bred cumdump with a truly filthy mouth, begging any/all passersby for more hard raw cock (geezer or not).

Thanks for sharing that excellent resource. I hadn't known of it.

I can't recall even once being asked for drugs - in the fuckjoints, at the tubs, never. I suppose it's possible years ago, and I just don't recall it. I don't think I look weird - cuckoo - crazy .... but, maybe I do 🤪

That's closer to alliteration .... but, what's in a word anyway? As long as the deed gets done (and so is that).

Welcome, new guys ... We look forward to hearing more from each of you !!

Nope - you pretty much nailed it. I'd forgotten about the active/passive references - haven't heard that in years now. But, language is a fluid thing, constantly changing, little by little. Per the ass-eating, there were some that did it, but not until bottoms routinely <polite cough> made sure their Holes actually were edible. Accidents can and do happen, of course, but the cleanliness routine wasn't as obligatory back then. I don't think most of us were as comfortable with ourselves back then. We were still concerned about being "outed" all of that. M2M sex wasn't as celebrated, it was more in the shadows. These days, being an "out" gay man is no big deal; back then it was a substantial and bold choice to make. Thanks for offering that commentary.

Do you actually mean some guys only want to get high, and will fuck in order to get the drugs? That's beyond pitiful.

First thing I recall is that I shot my load almost instantly after getting inside, in the locker room. One guy put his lips around it, and that was it. Those were the days, however, when I was good for several courses at the same dining table.

"4 loads in about 45 minutes by the same top" Wow !!! That's what I call impressive !!! I've never been able to pull off something like that.

I'm most interested in guys that make no apologies for who and what they are. Not that there are opportunities for depthy discussions at Slammer, but one can usually discern whether cumdumps are confident in their calling. I don't need to get any arrogance from them, or "attitude" that's so assumed it's almost laughable. Just guys that need what I can do for them, and vice versa.,

That was (almost) how I met my better half ... I was fucking a guy right next to him (he was sucking a Cock off) ... we were literally shoulder-to-shoulder, and I leaned over and kissed him when the Cock he was sucking unloaded in his mouth. That was enough to make me pump mine into that bottom. Complete happenstance.

Reportedly, things are really picking up over at Ramrod. I seldom bother to stop by, given the lack of action, but it's been a while since I went too. This coming weekend, before heading over to Slammer, I'll go over and have a beer, just to see what's cooking. I've heard that the bar over in WM (Eagle) has cooled off as far as the wanton breeding goes, but have no first-hand knowledge. Besides - Summer's here now, and it's waaaay to hot to wear the gear now. It's shorts & t-shirt weather, if that much.

Welcome, Tom. We hope to hear more from you, on any kind of topic you'd like to comment on. Your home-town is absolutely wonderful; I've been there a few times, and it's simply magnificent in every way.

"Are Out gay couples of color more likely to face hate crimes?" Sadly, I would think so. Those brothers-in-the-life are doubly damned in the minds of the race-baiting hatemongers, who will gladly attempt to compensate for their failures by disparaging any/every "other" they can identify.

"Hate crimes and Out gay couples of colour." This commentary might be deemed misplaced (by the mods), so I apologize in advance if that's the case. The issue of racism in general, and in the US in particular, has been the noose around our collective necks for centuries. Now that the actual depravity of "owning" other human beings for the purpose of enslaved servitued has been outlawed via the Civil War (aka the War between the States) for 160 years, one could be forgiven for believing that the foundational issue (one race deserving of slavery, another race deserving of domination of the subjugated race), would have been excised from the National psyche ages ago. So the confounding question becomes, why that is still not the case with a decent percentage of the citizenry? How is it that the descendants of the imported, enslaved peoples are still - lo these many decades later - still considered second-class citizens? There are, of course, brilliant exceptions such as MLK Jr, numerous others, but the mindset of hatred at worst, denigration at least, is still acceptable to a decent number of Americans? While the straights have modified their hatreds of gay folks to some degree (mostly out of hesitancy to be demeaned by other pale people), apparently the learned hatreds of other minorities simply will not be given up. Our propensity to demean others unlike us in some way is confounding at the very least. We see it in the Levant, with very similar people killing each other with impunity, and only in the name of some deity/belief system. We see it in our major population centers, and minor ones. As populations expand world-wide, we see these ancient depravities resurface (encouraged by leaders of world powers, no less), particularly in our own country. I simply cannot understand how this ancient curse can be so readily accepted by folks who should know far, far better. The depravities of the current Administration are broadcast daily in every major media, as they round up not only folks that came for a better chance at a safe, decent life, and a chance to work hard enough to earn it, but anyone that wasn't born here. Neither were our Caucasian ancestors. How is it that any human being - attempting to be of good will, some measure of decency - can endorse this filth? We are all equal. We are all of value. Each of us - whatever characteristics that separate us - are worthy of respect, and basic human dignity.

I hear ya .... while I call it automatic lube, it can soak through a pair of jeans easily. At the fuckjoints, I don't care - but until I get there it can be a bit embarrassing.
