I've been continually surprised just how many "straight" married men fool around a bit in public steamrooms. I do not think these men think of themselves as anything other than straight though, to them what they do with guys is just helping each other jerk off so it doesn't "count." It's like part of their brain shuts off and segregates the information/experience and I'm sure they would never cop to doing stuff with guys on a survey.

Football is another sport where the players burn a tremendous amount of calories and then have a hard time adjusting when they stop playing, and on top of that sometimes the chronic injuries make them move even less.

I was scared shitless of AIDS and also socially awkward. I was 27 before I had ANY sexual contact with a guy(waited two full years after HIV was treatable just in case it turned out meds would stop working) and 30 before anal. Which wasn't really good because I had no idea what I was doing. And I never even kissed a girl.

Yes but I think the horse is out of the barn for a large cohort of gay men who just did oral because it was fairly safe wrt HIV, and the vaccine was rolled out to girls first and most guys still don't get it. And if you're over 26 I beleive insurance won't pay. Long before the vaccine came out, more than half of MSM had HPV if I recall correctly.

Was he a wrestler and/or Italian? Wrestlers I think tend to fuck up their metabolism then when they enter the real sedentary world of office work simply can't adjust when they aren't working out 5 hours a day. Italians tend to look like they are 25 when they are 15 and continue to age faster - even if they hold it together fitness-wise, they seem to go gray earlier/face changes.

I think there's an oral cancer time bomb coming down the pike with HPV rampant and no reliable tests, so the PreP screening does nothing about that. Seems like an ugly way to go.

I would say if you are this concerned you should consider going on PreP yourself and then not worry about it. It gives you the same level of protection as the person with HIV being in treatment. It's not that it's rude to ask so much as you can't trust the answer since a)you are not a mindreader; so you can't tell if he's lying b)it's possible he seroconverted since his last test; and c)you shouldn't engage in riskier behavior based on the answer anyway. I have seen some escorts advertise that they are negative and on PreP. While I guess I'm happy they are promoting PreP, I wouldn't bareback with them unless I were on PreP also.

There's a fair amount of data to back up the notion that better-looking people are, in fact, treated better by other people, paid more for the same work, etc., both men and women. And that has a flip-side in that there is also unwanted attention. I think it's more likely possible for a woman to be "too" good-looking to be taken seriously than it is for a man. Largely because men are more visually stimulated and the woman will get more unwelcome attention than the man will on average. And there's also the fact that good-looking older men are still widely considered good-looking, while a good-looking older woman will, um, have a significant drop-off in the size of her fan club, because women are held to more unrealistic aesthetic standards than men.

It's an idiom at this point, I wouldn't take it literally.

Yeah my only issue about the table shower is feeling slightly unsafe with the slippery surface and the hard floor. My balance is not the best and turning over/getting up is precarious.

I think once it's known something is happening, it's pretty clear the teacher is bullying if s/he pedantically keeps using the old name/pronouns because not every last one of the TPS reports has been filled out in triplicate yet. And harassing the student should be unacceptable period.

To me it's the data on suicide rates that is most compelling. Even if you think people "should" accept their bodies as they are and their sex as their gender, the reduction in suicide that accompanies transition is drastic enough that I think it shouldn't be viewed as elective. Judaism holds that you are obligated to break any law to save a life. I think this falls under that category. No other therapy that has been tried with transgender people comes close in effectiveness at reducing suicide.

Are you in fact a massage student or therapist? If so you could always say you don't know who made the referral but you do do massages. I know of a female trainer at my gym who trades hours of training for hours of massage with a massage therapist so it's not unheard od.

I'm not saying the seancody models are ugly, just that they are average fit guys. Every college boy at my gym could be dropped in that front page marylander posted the link for, and the only ones who would stand out were the ones who looked BETTER than all of these guys.

I tell people my extra 80 lbs is better than Botox.

I think appealing is likely a waste of time and your best bet is following latbear's course of action. Until FOSTA/SESTA is court-tested google won't be taking any chances. As the deepest pockets of all they have the most to lose.

I'd say 50 isn't yet old. 0-30 is young, 30-60 is middle aged, 60-90+ is old.

Oh good lord no, from what I see on facebook the people I know who are into it are pretty far from hot and that "community" is an absurd bunch of navel gazers who create drama at their events to avoid dealing with the real world. And make longwinded posts about how much they grew at their "conference." It's a fucking sex party, own it. Also I cringe when they keep posting "wags!' and "Nuzzles!" to each other.

tradehunter, is English not your first language or are you just in such a rush to get things out you tell stories badly. What happened when this person called 911? Was he naked when they showed up? was he trying to get arrested?

I was at the Ben and Jerry's in Cambridge in Harvard square last weekend and a friend asked for a cherry on his sundae and they said "we don't have any because cherries are GMOs"

HPV-related oral cancer is a far bigger concern. What was in that article is just basically a skin irritation.

Avalon, I understand you are reluctant to give out too much info, but a few things to consider here, since if there is any assisted living place that you can actually afford on whatever your income and savings are, then you might be able to do better having someone come to you privately working "off the books." If you have a two-bedroom, maybe you could even swing a live-in aide for less than what you would be paying at assisted living.. And maybe your landlord would be okay with you paying to convert the tub(and there may be programs to help with the cost). There are many states that have nursing home diversion programs that you may be able to use, but you would want to consult an elder care attorney depending on your asset and income level. The initial consultation is typically free and these people are experienced at working the system. Also, PLEASE do not give up on the idea of getting better. Physical therapy is much better than it was years ago, but you do have to be diligent about it. And you've discussed diabetes in other threads you really really need to keep that in check as it could be driving your other issues.

I think legally also it's a different matter if he was exposing his penis soft or hard.

You know most guys don't work seven days a week. Just come in on your regular's day off(and that's easy to find out, just ask your guy what days they normally work). Then if word somehow gets back to them and they ask, just say it was a spur-of-the-moment thing or you were extra sore and couldn't wait another day.

I posted that without seeing your reply(because I was on the Google).
