DAMN!! I wish I weren’t allergic!!

More inches perhaps than six-packs.

True enough but it may not apply to all his models (hopefully).

He can sneak into my boudoir anytime!!

But Kyro is even thicker than even Maple Syrup and there’s no way it’s more important than Maple Syrup much less family.

Seattle: Shemeeattle I’m going where HE is [LUST]

For me her voice was a force of nature. My first Jessye Norman was an Ariadne at The Met. I recall the vibrato being so deep (not wide but deep) that my whole body trembled with it. During the Met live in HD broadcast of Turandot Saturday (highly recommended) they paid tribute to Ms Norman with a snippet from her Ariadne. But she could also move you in silence as well as when she turned her back to the audience in Blue-beards Castle or contemplated her doom as Casandra in Les Troyen. I think she guided her career with curiosity and intelligence. She knew she was never going to be a Callas or Tabaldi so she did what she damn well pleased. With that voice and elegant presence I think she would have been a phenomenal Marshallin. [sigh]

The question might also be would you forgive your abusive parent if you understood how and why they took on their abusive attributes? Dysfunction in families can often be traced back generations and alcohol is frequently a factor often traceable back thru generations. That is why misuse of alcohol (and drugs) is sometimes traced to a hormonal imbalance. It’s easier to forgive biology.

My father wasn't particularly abusive but he certainly was distant. He never played catch, we went to only one ball game, we went fishing only once (and all we caught was pneumonia). But there was never a sign he was anything other than loving. It took me a long time to realize that he was probably afraid of "commitment". His father was an abusive drunk who left his two sons to raise each other. Moreover when I was 5 months old, sister died of asthma just shy of 3 years old. I was and only child and asthmatic. Can hardly blame him. My mother had a similar dismal childhood shared with three sisters. Once they eloped, my parents moved away from their families and shared a loving relationship for 50 years and 8 weeks until my father died. During his final illness my father suffered a brief lack of oxygen that caused a mild brain injury. In his final weeks he was demonstrably affectionate, and expressed concern for how I would remember him. Ironically, it was my parents great love for each other that caused me to come out. As I approached 40, I realized that I really wanted what they shared and to get that I had to deal honestly with my sexuality. I've now had 30 years of what they had. Thank you Mother and Father.

Sorry about that. Fortunately it works for me. And what a salami! [swoon]

Yup! Nearly enough for some of to switch sides.

Maybe not good enough. [swoon]

Amen!!!

And the smile is also sexy.

Correct assumption. I wouldn’t say they are gay friendly but definitely accepting. Malaysia is a Muslim country a majority of whom are Malay hence Muslim. But there are significant minorities of Chinese and Indians. My partner is Chinese. His mother has lived with us in NYC and later Texas for months at a time. I’ve visited KL on my own several times. Suffice it to say that tears were shed by all at my departure for fear that it might be the last time we see each other. I’m in my 70’s: Amah is a decade older and physically fading. His family, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, aunts and cousins are the only family I have, and I’m blessed they are in my life. The population of KL is about the same as that of San Antonio, TX (about 1.5 million) yet there are many more RentMen profiles listed for KL than for SA. Grindr the same with many “money boy” profiles. SA has one (very) seedy bathhouse: KL has at least a dozen (some of which are also seedy). KL has a few male massage parlors that are not specifically sensual. I know of none in SA. Medical issues have kept us in the US the past 18 months. But my last procedure is next week and we hope to spend our New Years and later Chinese New Years in KL. I really need to see my dentist there and as I said the food is fantastic especially around Chinese New Years.

Great thread. My partner is from KL and we spend time there with his family and have an apartment there. I’d be interested in swapping impressions of gay life in KL. (The food is fantastic BTW.)

You’ll find me upstairs: first room on the left. [swoon]

I’m in LUST but grateful I’m not fighting for elbow room with him on a long flight.

As usual @Kevin Slater is spot on. I replaced the battery in my iPhone 6S plus last November. Now I can wait a long while for my next iPhone upgrade. Because I use my unlocked phone both in the US and Asia (with a local SimCard that may be a while. Not only do I have to make sure there are suitable 5G networks in both locals, I have to save up for a new unlocked phone.

OMG!! Be still my libido. I want them all. But the guy on the left last. I’ll need some practice be before that one.

Maybe he knows that his “junk” is no where as big as that of the rest.

"Yummy" isn't the first adjective that comes to my mind!

That shouldn't be too hard to relieve . . .

This reminds me of an old joke. Traveler ts bound for Frankfort board a Lufthansa plane at JFK. The doors shut and as the plane taxis down the runway, passengers hear the following announcement: "Lufthansa wishes to welcome you aboard the first fully automated flight across the Atlantic. Your flight is being guided remotely. For your convenience all passenger amenities are available to you by pushing the appropriate button on the panel before you. There are no flight attendants aboard. Sit back and relax. We wish to assure you that nothing can go wrong can go wrong can go wrong can . . . . ."

NO!! Share and share alike.
