Interesting post. Some folks have no problem whatsoever reaching inside themselves, flipping on the "Mr/Ms personality" switch, and making stuff like you described work well for them. Then, there are others who couldn't do that on a bet. Most of us are a mix of the two, but it's an interesting set-up to at least offer the potential. There can always be pleasant surprises - like the "hinge" you discovered. That said, it's just fine that it's a one&done thing too.

First, thanks for sharing your well-considered thoughts. Sadly, they're mostly true. However, he is definitely not America. He has, however, given voice to a certain subset of Americans that feel - for some unimaginable reason - they they are "deserving' when others are not. They blame "immigrants", they lay the blame for their lack of achievement at all kinds of places that have zero to do with their life-choices. They blame religious folks, irreligious folks, they blame any/everyone they can point at, with the assumption that it couldn't possibly be themselves. Mr. Trump has fanned these resentments into a prairie fire, and it may consume us - it may not. History is replete with con-artists pointing the finger of blame at "the other", and Mr. T. is only the latest, fanning the flames of discontent. I'm not sure what kind of media-coverage you receive in the UK, but here, there are two separate camps - the Maga camp and the Progressive camp, and the Magaroids are slipping down the scale of serious consideration fairly quickly. I suppose that's the reason Mr. T has been forcing his policies (along with Musk) down Americans throats at such a fast and furious pace. He knows perfectly well his days of action are numbered. There are still millions of Americans of good will, fair mindedness, generosity and kindness, despite the President's constant blaring, stirring the numerous pots, on and on. The "America" you remember is still here, we're doing everything within the law to resist, there are 100K+ demonstrations daily, all over the country, protesting the policies of the President. Understand that there's an undercurrent of dissatisfaction within a substantial number of Americans, now relatively voiceless, that detest what's happening to our country. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think making the nipples larger was in some thread a couple of years ago ... at which point I mentioned a really easy/inexpensive way to increase the length/breadth of the nipples. Go to an auto-parts store and buy a set of "vacuum shut-offs". These are small rubber "tubes" with one end open and the other closed. They come on a little plastic "comb"-like extrusion, and fit over various flexible lines in an engine compartment, and they're dirt-cheap. They're graduated in size (length/width), about an inch long, and they're perfect for increasing the nipples. Obviously, buy a pair. Some guys might want some lube inside the tube or on the nipple, to make removing easier. Start gradually. Don't leave them on too long at first - blood may seep out of the nipple-tips, but there's no danger. Merely nipples doing what they're intended to do (special purposes excepted). The "best" way to remove them is, of course, for some guy to suck them off of the nipple by breaking the vacuum. If that's not an option, when you're ready to take them off, pinch the "round" off the shut-off a bit, so air can get in between the rubber and the flesh. If you just try to pull them off, you'll definitely regret it.

Thanks for those links - the normal alterations in word-meanings through the centuries is an interesting topic. That said, one term in this thread that I've never heard before (in a sexual context) is "geezer". I've heard old people describe another old person as "an old geezer", but that's it; don't think I've heard it in decades though. The linguistic exploration of origins of words implying fucking can be fun, but most of us would rather DO IT !!!

Thanks for this .... I definitely endorse the VPN thing. It will be interesting to see how China fares in the dustup with the current administration. It may be possible the presenter has a bit of a bone to pick (!) , but thanks for sharing this one.

One of the benefits of fucking in darkrooms (I mean really dark rooms), is that what some would call "unattractive" men (for all kinds of excuses) are not easily visible. I mean, "feel-your-way" darkrooms; "slide-your-feet-instead-of-taking-steps" kinds of darkrooms, because there are men down there taking loads, and you can't see them. Just because some men are never going to make the cover of Raw Porn Weekly doesn't mean they don't need - or deserve - their share of Cocks. I know I might as well go outside and howl at the moon - every guy likes to fuck good-looking men - but tons of plain-looking guys can show the "good-lookin crowd" a thing or three anytime.

I quite agree, to our collective sorrow.

"Because showing up matters". Well said. It's the first step to any constructive engagement; if we don't bother to show up, who's to blame when nothing gets done?

Oddly, mine tend to be other Tops. There are 4 in the immediate area that I've shared holes with, but occasionally I do other stuff (non-sexual) with them too. Sometimes, we'll text each other if a particularly talented Hole turns up ... it's only the neighborly thing to do, right? 😁

How, then, do you define teaching 'critical thinking' in the context of public school education?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ........... I wouldn't put it past T to bend over for "The King" .... notice that scepter with all the points on that shiny thing at the top ..... btw - I don't blame the folks who bought Teslas - they were doing the right thing, at the time.

My VPN allows me to choose "locations" throughout the world. When you-know-hoo re-ascended to the Oval, I "moved" from where I actually live to Copenhagen - which cleared up all the picayuni crap the Administration had caused. Sometimes I have to turn it off (the VPN) momentarily to reach some sites, but not BZ.

That'd be great fun, but more to the point - send us contact information on QUEER REALTORS in the area (if we're still even welcome in your lovely nation). We should always try to "buy from our own" - whatever the product happens to be.

I hope so .... I sure can't.

Of course. The fact is, most of us lead busy lives, working, activities, fucking, all important facets of living our lives. For some of us, so is debate, the entire point of which is to offer ideas, positions on issues, ideas on all manner of subjects, and receive honest, equally well meaning responses. As other guys above have said, disagreement need not become disagreeable. It's the discourse that brings many of us back, since there's a carefully-constructed feeling of "community" here on BZ. No guy always agrees with everything - that would obviate the entire purpose. The "response" doo-dads allow us to express a general position re: that post/response, yet move on to other subject matter easily. I think of them as mini-additions to the conversation, which is why the great majority of guys keep coming back - some weekly, some daily, some less frequently. Every guy can fit in where he feels is most advantageous.

Hasn't that always been the case? Extending back centuries, to the "Court Jesters" with their veiled insults to the Crowned Head of the day?

Interesting topic, some most interesting responses. On the face of it, there's no actual *reason* that I can come up with to demean gay incest. The reason "incest" carries such a regrettable cachet, is the assumption that it would be a) heterosexual, and b) between siblings or close relatives. That kind of incest (between closely-related male-female participants) can result in a very regrettable mix in the gene pool, with serious, life-long results. That said, when it's between two siblings/close relatives of the same gender, no procreation can possibly take place, thus eliminating the natural and well-earned status of being [banned word]. I don't have a brother (that I know of anyway), so I can only offer that I see no real reason two family members of the same gender shouldn't extend their mutually-felt feelings to the sexual level. I can definitely see how a father/son arrangement could be difficult to maneuver, if the son were underage. But, there are potential missteps to every relationship - what counts in how they're dealt with.

"that my legacy is big enough" As long as you treat others the way you'd like to be treated, extend empathy towards those less able than you, refrain from negative acts, and remain unaffected by negativities in others, they'll remember you. Maybe not to the extent you imagine, maybe not in the way you imagine, but they'll remember with a smile, a moment's pause. What more can one ask?

Sounds like a guy to avoid, unless you're into dangerous stuff.

First, if you were away for a while, hope you enjoyed yourself. I enjoy your input very much - as well as the zingers like the one quoted above. "Hair Furor" still gives me a chuckle. But humor only sharpens, enlivens the crux of the commentary, and yours is always well worth the read. I don't admire dullards, so I just ignore them. It seems the louder they holler the less inclined they are to - as you put it - "go find the facts".

I would NEVER ask you to cross your legs. I definitely would ask you to open them as wide as possible, use certain items in the trunk in the slingroom to keep them that way, and (with the proper agreement prior) call every pig I know with a hot hard breedcock, full balls, and get them over here asap.

I tend to avoid using downvotes generally, since they're an obvious rejection of the foundational premise of the site; interaction with others. That said, there are a couple of contributors that I simply don't read. Guys who always have nothing but rejection of what others post, constantly throwing stones at other guys contributions, is a time-waster, as I see it. So, I simply don't bother to read any of those two guys contributions. There are plenty of sincere contributors on BZ that aren't so impressed with themselves, and I read, respond to thoughts/replies from all the rest of us. Frankly, I hope those two return the favor.

"The military suppresses those things" Before I got to the above sentence, I thought to myself "what on EARTH kind of mistake is he about to make???" But, thank Whatever, you righted the course, centered yourself again, and smelled that particular weasel in the woodwork. Men who think for themselves are exactly the kind of men that no military on earth is interested in. They're only interested in men who will do what they're told, how they're told, when they're told. There's no way to know of course, but I wonder how many men with an intellectual - even cerebral bent - have been sacrificed to the bloodlust of various militaries the world over. Those folks are only interested in Yessir. Whatever you say, sir. I'm not denigrating those who do sign up. Being human beings, we seem to need to have the ability to kill competitors on a massive scale, and that has been the case since we crawled out of the caves. To the victor go the spoils. That kind of power though, can corrupt a mans mind beyond recall. I'm truly relieved your humanity rescued you from that debacle. The world needs more peacemakers, and fewer war-makers.

First, thanks for your response. What I meant by that phase, is that the advent of hiv was exponentially more deleterious than the normal "ebb and flow" of changes in human history. It was such an earth-shaking situation for those of us that lived through it, nothing can compare. Back in Chicago, we were all going to the tubs, the fleshpots just as always too, until that virus came along. The shock, however, was the same across the board when our friends started becoming so ill, with many dying before they even reached their prime. You're right, of course - that condoms were unheard of at the time*, until it was either condoms or nothing if we wanted to live. Your point about the costs of being in business is a good one. Insurance costs are an easy one to pick at, and I would imagine fuckjoints present some special situations. No one wants to work for $3 an hour either these days. What does surprise me though, is the dearth of gh joints in Ft. L. There were plenty back in Chgo, but I don't know of one gh joint around here. I don't get it. HIV can't possibly have anything to do with that (meaning, what might have made sense to local legislators years ago makes no sense presently). *At least in the gay community ... I remember there was a group of guys at CHC down on Leavitt that fetishized condoms, and the rest of us thought them a bit odd. But hey - different stokes, right? I too think that the worst of hiv is behind us, given the medical advances, etc. It's not the automatic death-sentence that it once was, for which I am eternally grateful. Finally, given the advances in preventative treatments, it seems that hiv is slowly retreating from the center of our group consciousness. From some of the submissions here on BZ, one would think it's not much more than a common cold, regardless of the actual facts. I'm certain that if my other half and I hadn't stopped all outside sex when we did, we'd both have left many years ago. To the economy, it already has forced uncounted numbers to make more room in their economic plans for their retirements. These days, nothing is guaranteed, and each of us is on our own. But, better that than the alternative, I suppose. Thanks for your commentary.

Thanks, PozBearWI, for (re)offering this timely article. Isn't it interesting how that old saw ... "history repeats itself" ... comes to mind? Let's cross our fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes, that the result of that myopia is not included in the current iteration .....
