Reading comprehension is important in a conversational thread.

No one mentioned anything about "hate".

QUOTE:  "In the late 2010s survey results showed a declining trend in young adult approval of gays."

The conversation here is about "approval".  I disagree with your opinion about the poly community being incapable of prejudice. The poly community is quite sure they've found nirvana and are in fact quite prejudiced against people who subscribe to the traditional categories including homosexuals.

I’m curious about the term “socially acceptable” in 2022. 
It used to refer to behavior, and acquiescence to the restriction of that behavior in order to not make others feel awkward or uncomfortable.

Past socially unacceptable behavior could be not RSVP’ing to an invitation. Regularly being drunk at dinner parties. Wearing swimwear while pregnant. Using the wrong piece of flatware. Arguing with a spouse in public. Wearing white after Labor Day. 

Since we cannot dismiss groups of people as “behavior” what does it mean today? What behavior is considered socially unacceptable today?

 

you raise an important point here, and perhaps "socially acceptable" does not apply here at all....  and "behaviors" may equally not apply

i think the issue is what persons are relegated to the margins - are deprived of the right to happiness and equality.... are threatened by ostracism and the accompanying violence...

Being gay was already more socially accepted when the trans controversy raised. Y

clearly not to everyone!

I'm happy that its easier these days for eyeryone to "be who they are" etc., but I really donlt understand the seemingly sudden explosion  of the number of transgender people.  I'm sure they have always been among the population, but now it seems as if there are so many more prevalent and  visable.  At least the media seemd to give a lot of coverage to the issue.

Or perhaps society is just more tolerant and  the transgender people feel free to become known? 

i had read somewhere that it's all because of being wokeness into the military

Ive seen Tai several times over the last 10yrs and in the beginning it was just massage and it was awesome.  Lately though we've definitely transitioned to a pure escort sessions but I'm not so excited about those anymore.  I think there's just no more excitement so I haven seen him since January 

I saw Tai on a visit to New York a few years back... hired as a masseur - ridiculously bad massage work followed by an absolutely wonderful "experience"

I would repeat but only with clear expectations and probably not that often

He's not escorting it says massage....

yes - he takes his bodywork seriously - and has always been generous with his energies to me

Seen him a couple of times and we are scheduled to meet again this week. I think he’s maybe a bit shy, so if you’re looking for someone overtly warm and outgoing, he night not be for you.
 

In my experience he’s always been very kind and welcoming. Super clean studio with a nice vibe. 
 

Excellent massage. You can tell he takes bodywork seriously. Plus: super fit guy. Always left v happy. 

i have seen him twice, both times at his very nice place in brooklyn (as long as you can deal with the energizing six-floor walk up)

he may not be conventionally charming but he gives a serious and intentional session - i WOULD repeat!

I've been going to an ABS in NJ that does not have gloryholes but the walls between the video booths are 3' off the ground.  Perfect height for mutual touching of cocks between booths or blowjob.  I haven't... but seen sex between booths.  I love the thrill and anonymous cock touching. 

 

Anyone else enjoy this?  

 

The spot I go to on Rt. 1/9 is usually pretty busy with all types of men.  Even seen CDs there and enjoyed playing with one.

i love the IDEA of it... but.... i kinda need a face to go with it - even if i am watching on CB... i know, totally negates part of the fantasy/thrill -- but, give me a cock with a face/body attached to it and i am happy as a cow in sh*t

those of us who have been lucky enough to live in other countries -- perhaps thailand and the philippines -- know how ridiculous the american angst over trans-persons is.

strange one.... i thought i knew/knew of most of the asian men who escort in NYC (there are not ALL that many), but this one has somehow avoided my radar!

that, in itself, may say something, haha

This handsome and as yet unreviewed gentleman is asking $250 for a half hour $500 for an hour in-call in the Bronx....

It would take A LOT to motivate me - any experience(s)

Saw him about ten years ago.... remember that he was an excellent masseur with appropriate sensual elements

I believe he embraces a spiritual view of massage work, but he doesn't push it like some do.

He did have a personality quirk or two which were resolve when we actually met. Would recommend.
