    I am gen x and in my younger days i used to have negative opinion of gay men who got married to women. When i came out in the 90s to my parents, my own father suggested that I should marry a woman for stability and to follow the societal norms and play with men on the side. The twenty-something me soundly rejected that idea.

    Now i think i am more mature and understand breadth and depth of human sexuality and the choices people make to survive. No negativity from me. I hope you find some friends in your area.

    thank you

    I know of at least two active members of this forum whose story is similar to yours. One of the now-deceased members here was a good friend of mine who didn't become actively gay until he was a grandfather; he managed to maintain his close relationships with his wife, grown children and other family members, so I know it can be done, even though it is not necessarily easy. He also managed to integrate some of his close gay friends with his straight family--his daughter and I shared his power of attorney for his health directives. He admitted to me that there were days when he wished he could still be the "normal" husband and father that he once was, yet he realized that he was who he was, and it was a relief to be that whole person. I hope that others here who share your kind of history will contact you.

    I also lived for many years in Philadelphia, so I agree with Marylander's suggestion that you get to know the local organizations. The Mazzoni Center is named for Peter Mazzoni, a friend of mine who was active in AIDS organizations in the 1980s, and who died of AIDS. You may also want to check out the William Way Community Center for possible contacts. I have been gone from PA for 20 years, so I don't have any up-to-date information.

    May I ask, is this a newer realization for you, or have you known/suspected that you were gay for much of your life?   In either case, I wish you well on this journey.

    most of my life, but I married in hopes that it would 'fix' me. I do love my wife.

    I lived in the Philadelphia vicinity for many, many years. Go to Giovanni’s Room in Philadelphia. It is a  bookstore specializing in gay, lesbian literature.I think it’s the oldest one in the country. It is not a porn shop. The staff very helpful and knowledgeable and should be able to give you some ideas as to where to go to meet people like yourself.  Their website is:     queerbooks.com

    yes. I know that place from whenI worked in Center city. I have not gone in to the city in over 3 years.

     

  4. Hello,

     

     First I request there be no negative feedback. My dilemma is that I am an old 'baby boomer' who has never lived as a gay man. I married years ago and raised a family. I am not willing to give up my family. What I want is to find friend(s) in similar situations. When I say friends, I mean that. Not sex, but just conversation about our shared situation. I live in Delco, PA. I have tried to find groups and 'chat' rooms for this, but no luck. Is there anyone out there reading this who is living in the area (outside Philadelphia)? Some of the younger men do not seem to understand that us older guys have a completely different life and grew up in a very different time. I am actually expecting some negative feedback, but I will ignore that. Thanks in advance.

    poke around the net for videos from "PumpingMuscle".....this is from one of those and there are many.......if you don't know it, a somewhat-creepy producer/camera guy ("Peter") ostensibly interviews and promotes young bodybuilders, films them at the gym, lets them talk about their programs, etc.....eventually, they pose and flex in different settings, often wearing tiny posers or nothing at all (some cover their privates with a hand), prodded on by Peter......at times, Peter asks them to participate in something he claims the viewers want to see, what he calls "interaction", in which he caresses the guys all over while they flex or sit nervously......tolerance towards all this varies widely among the guys.....here's a two-hour+ example.....

    I love these videos. I am envious of the photographer

    I just happened to notice this man's hot photos while trolling for J/O material, and found out he's actually a local comedian (but travels nationally). I'm traveling Italy and the Mediterranean this month, but will be keeping an eye out for him at the local comedy clubs when I come back! 😍

    Matthew Steven Rife (born September 10, 1995) is an American comedian and actor, best known for his self-produced comedy specials Only Fans (2021), and Matthew Steven Rife (2023), and his appearance on the comedy competition series Bring the Funny.

    Matt-Rife054

    he is def in the top 5

     

  7. this is my favorite type of gay film. Two of my faves are Marky More with Grayson lang, and Arad Winwin with the young guy who admires him from afar and is exposed by a homophobe. Can't recall the other actor or fil name. I don't care for the ones with extreme size diff.

     

  8. Anyone have recent experience with Ronnie J from R M? I have seen him in the past and he was great, but it has been a few years. He is located in the Philly suburbs.

    I know from past experience that he was top tier in every way, but as I said it has been a while.

    Anderson COOPER is a no for everyone, but what does he have to do with these movies?

    I have no idea. I just answered the question.

    maybe it was inadvertently put in this thread.

    I tried to make an appointment. I sent him a text with questions such as are you taking new clients, where are you located and that I am interested in hiring him. He responded said Yes what do you want where and when. I replied that I wanted a massage, gave hi 2 possible days next week. I never heard back! This was actually the second time I tried. I thought that maybe the first time was a fluke, but I can not say anything except he doesn't seem dependable. He could have said he is not interested. I really prefer not going in to the city (or any city) anymore.
