I don't think that would stop the old formulation from going generic. I'm havign a hard time figuring out what they could do that would be a substantial enough improvement that people wouldn't just use the pill. There is some investigation about an injectable other drug for PreP IIRC, but personally I'd find the pill good enough given the low frequency with which I have sex.

Late in 2021 the period of exclusivity will end, at which point it is expected there will be multiple competitors, which SHOULD lead to a much sharper drop in price.

I'm sure a number have quite willingly made the trade. If some straight guys are willing to fuck a guy for 250 bucks, it stands to reason there will be more willing to do so for a shot at millions.

Uh, he was born in 1972. he's soon to be 48...

If you're semi-distantly related it's possible one person knows and the other doesn't. My mother had dozens of first cousins she lost track of, some of whom probably would know who i was when I'd have no idea who they were. The youngest kids often don't know who is who in the family because nobody bothers to tell them. It was YEARS after my parents died that I learned that "John and Mary Smith" who I assumed were just old family friends, were in fact my mother's first cousin and his wife. I have a friend who is the youngest of 14 kids and he says he can't even remember all his nieces' and nephews' names, and certainly not all their kids.

Just to play devils advocate, are you SURE he knew nothing of you? I gather from your posts that you are a person of some means, and I assume the hospitality industry keeps tabs on the high-flyers. I would think when someone like you is coming in, they tip off the staff.

My barbershop has clear floor-to-ceiling partitions between the chairs, they wear mask AND face shield, and you keep your mask on during the cut and they move the ear straps themselves. They have partitions between the seats in the small seating area as well but it hasn't been getting crowded anyway.

I would have just walked out when I saw they weren't wearing masks.

This isn't really that surprising. People who are hung on average probably get more sex coming their way, and if you're getting laid all the time, you're probably happier than money would make you. And if you're not getting laid, money can help you get that, so you're going to put more effort in it.

I figure I'll wait until there's more than one generic later next year and then just get some to do PreP on-demand. At my current rate of intercourse,one 30-pill bottle should last me the rest of my days....

That's what you're supposed to do because if you turn your back on them they may pounce and try to take you down by biting your neck.

Some stores have quietly moved the wipes behind the customer service desk to prevent hoarding. You might try going there and asking.

because viral load is a factor in whether you develop the illness. The longer your are in the room together, the more particles you are inhaling.

I saw you Coolwave, that satisfied my curiosity, I left because early on Joey said he was staying 'behind the scenes." I just figured hearing stories would make me more annoyed I backed out. I'll catch you at some future show I'm sure.

TBH I only tuned in to see Coolwave, then when Joey said he wasn't coming on I turned it off assuming he wouldn't. He came on screen later? dammit.

Now I have to tune in and see what I missed

Jeez you two are like an old married couple, you're fighting all the time and not having sex.

Given that people are taking mitigating measures to avoid getting it, I don't see us getting to herd immunity before the vaccine,but rather that there will be enough already infected that even if the vaccine is only partially effective,THAT will be enough.

I think when it ends most people will go pretty much right back to it. There will likely be fewer people who partake for a while either because they simply developed other habits or their local venue closed and a new one didn't spring up yet(and might not, because it sure seems to me the vast majority of bathhouses are older facilities that are cheap, and building one from scratch would likely be prohibitively expensive.

While I know that's technically true, the number designating the year was come up with well after "year 1"(and they missed the mark at that) and I think it makes more sense to treat the century designator as cardinal rather than ordinal so the decades slot properly. We don't consider 1990 part of the 80s...

Currently there are hotel rooms to be had dirt cheap in the city, so I could see some taking advantage of it.

I can't envision myself going to one when the showers are closed, unless it's just to watch.

Lets be honest, most(not all) plastic surgeons are in it for the money, not a desire to help people. I know of one (college acquaintance) who is an exception - she does the vanity surgeries so she can do reconstructive surgeries for cancer patients pro bono. But most of them want to be like the guys on Nip/Tuck.

Thinking of going. Frankly a little nervous because most of the dancers are in their young and stupid years and not sure how much I trust they are being careful.

More importantly, Stu has made two appearances on Sean Cody's TikTok. Could he be coming back?
