Anything that could reasonably pass as honest, real, and not something that looks like it passed muster from a room full of lawyers. Again, what I expected from MIke White, after 2 very successful seasons, is better writing, even where dialogue doesn't exist. Personally, I would not have gone the incest route. I don't need to see it. But if you're going to have the balls to go there, don't try to pawn off a cheap shot on your loyal gay viewers.

As much as everyone here would probably enjoy seeing an erect penis on one of the Ratliff sons, I don't think anyone was advocating for using an exposed erect penis, prosthetic or not. The point I was trying to make was about Mike White making honest, believable sex choices in film. We're adults here. We understand what TV can and cannot do at this point in time. Furthermore, I don't know what the definition of porn is anymore. These days, it is not uncommon to see male actors kissing, licking, sucking erect female nipples in legit film, as Walter Goggins did to Aimee Lou Wood a few episodes ago. I don't know what the lines are, and I expect with time, the lines are subject to change.

Thank you @Luv2play. Sometimes I think I'm going crazy, because sometimes an X page will open, and most times not. I want nothing to do with Elon Musk, so I will not be seeing any videos on X. Who knows how long that feature will last anyway.

And the land where honest, reasonable debate can no longer happen. Very unfortunate, indeed.

Yes, all what you wrote is correct. Except, HBO/MAX is Pay-TV. They do not permit accounts from minors. American culture is fucked. They have no problem showing men and women holding guns to their heads and shooting their brains all over everything. But put a man or woman's hand around an erect penis, and look out! The wrath of holy hell be upon you. Demented, perverted, and hypocritical thinking, if you ask me. In story telling, these "sex" decisions are up to the creators. They decide how far they will go to be "honest" in their telling of the story. In Season 1, Mike White had no problem putting Murray Bartlett's face into Lukas Gage's ass crack. We all believed that happened. In Season 3, White made the decision to show erect penis under sheets, knowing it would be a serious compromise, and dishonest. To me, this is lazy story telling. Sure, it gets clicks, but not in a positive way. Was it really impossible to come up with some other activity that is more believable, and equally compelling?

Harsh was not my intention at all. Monogamy and deal-making aren't for every relationship. When Jamie21 wrote abstinence as being 100% safe, it triggered my brain. I've lived long enough to realize and accept what temptation does to a horny man. Nothing I say or do can stop someone from risky behavior. Not all my partners were secure men. When "in love," some guys needed to feel more secure than others. If I truly loved the guy, then I felt committed to giving them the security they needed. On top of that, bringing an STD home to your lover, who assumes you are out to protect his life and well being, is not the behavior of a good and honest man. We are not perfect, and many people make hurtful mistakes. Selfishness will always be among us.

Another internet mystery. Maybe it depends what Operating System you use. Searching @maxxxdeed_, at least 2 pages come up, but they are mostly X. I saw one "twitter" link, but it also opened as X.

As an open-minded viewer, I'm open to anything, especially if it involves male actors getting naked. What I hated about Mike White's choice to go incest, he had to go fake, mostly because it's HBO. If Lochlan was fucking Chloe, and jacking off his brother at the same time, there is no way Saxon's hard-on action is going to be under a sheet. Ridiculous. For me, this was an eye-roll moment. Gratuitous for the sake of shock.

Of course a lot of sexual experimentation exists, and a lot of it is kept secret. I have my own secrets. Most of mine occurred during puberty, between ages 9 through 13. I doubt you could get away with those stories on HBO. Experimenting among siblings at an older age probably makes people feel more uncomfortable. Most people don't want to be told what to do.

If this is true, then abstinence is the only answer. When sucking a stranger's cock, his sexual history comes with the fantasy, and the history is always unknown because it's private information. Unless you have an open marriage, then you risk your marriage ending by engaging in secret sex. I know a few guys who made this mistake. While none of them brought home a disease (that I know of), finding out about the extra-curricular activity caused a shit storm. These were gay marriages, and all of them had agreements on sex outside the marriage. Marriages come in all shapes and sizes these days. You have to decide what is most important to you. Leading a double life has serious consequences, not only for you, but for your sexual partners as well. I could never do it, and nor would I do it to someone who depends on my trust and fidelity in love.

I assume by "twitter" everyone means X. Maybe I'm tech dense (I know I am), but with twitter, links would open without being a member, and videos would play without problems. With X, I now get a sign-in page. You can't seem to view anything without joining, and I won't be doing that. Am I wrong about this?

Me too. None of the priests in my parish were good looking, plus, I was not into older men.

There seems to be a thread on him over at lpsg. If the pictures can be believed, he's hot as hell with a spectacular looking cock. The cock is so beautiful, I'm sure he has difficulty knowing who his true friends really are. There is also a video short on boyfriendtv. If he's the top, amazing.

I get that old friendships can have an occasional breakdown, and can make for good drama. Had my share of those while growing up. Some friendships heal and revive stronger than ever, while others fade away forever. I thought in the original Sex in the City they handled these bumps quite effectively with the 4 leads. Here, we're supposed to believe that 2 of the gift recipients willingly behave like teenage high school girls at the age of 50. Usually, by the time you're 50, your best friends are set for life. Making new ones is not easy, and keeping old ones takes work that you're happy to do. The cheapest room in this resort may be $2500 a night. That's $17,500 for a week's stay per friend. That's a serious gift. Recently, two old friends invited me out to dinner, one for sushi, the other a French bistro. For a $100 meal, I was on my best behavior because that's what a good friend does when he's being treated well and shown generous love by another old friend. The conflict that White is trying to create with these 3 women seems forced. I'm happy to endure a classic cat fight, I just wish it was more believable. I watched a few analysis videos on YouTube after the airing. People seemed creeped out by the incest. They are OK with Lochlan trying to find his sexuality, but they are not happy that he chose his brother. The analysis mentioned this is not the first time HBO tackled incest in a story. It's been done a few times in shows I haven't seen. Viewers seem to be speculating whether Lochlan actually swallowed the pill, suggesting he wanted his brother fucked up so that he could take advantage of him. Not a bad plot twist, but I doubt we're getting that deep with Mike White on a series that is almost done and moves like a snail.

I was so hoping the dream sequences of the Ratliff's assassinations were not dreams, but alas, they live for another episode. So Lochlan bated his older brother while he fucked Chloe. Yes, totally believable. My favorite line of the episode belongs to Carrie Coon speaking to Leslie Bibb. "Look, I'm not like you. Sometimes I just have to be honest." LOL. If I remember correctly, the actress is paying for Kate's and Laurie's trips. Would friends of a real actress behave this way while being seriously treated to a vacation?

I don't know how old the professor is, or what he looks like naked, but if he's got a nice dick and a decent body, he could probably start an OnlyFans and do quite well for himself. Truth be told, sex scandals in America aren't what they used to be. Kim Kardashian has proven you can make a sex tape and eventually be worth 1.7 billion. Yes, you'll probably lose your teaching career, but there are plenty of other jobs where the door will be open and Americans will accept and support you, especially if the goods are attractive to enough people. Long live freedom.

Excitement is one thing. Incredible stupidity is another. This is what happens when your brain is in your dick. But what do I care if someone wants to ruin his life and kill his career for doing masturbation videos at the workplace? I still enjoy watching these daring, sometimes sexy fools. Out-In-Public is a popular sex category on PornHub. The things horny men do on film are crazy. I especially love the gym selfie videos. Sometimes they get caught and hook up on-camera, and that is so much fun. I tried to search the professor's content with no luck, but these types of videos have been around for a long time. Usually, it's college students. I thought some of the videos I have seen were incredible. They do attract a ton of clicks, and that seems to be the point these days. With cameras everywhere, and getting worse by the minute, I'd be scared to death of getting easily caught, and having my little, fun fetish exposed to the world. When I think of my youth, and all the fun sex I had on a NYC subway platform, or the Piers in Greenwich Village, I'm glad I have those crazy memories. I lived through a very different and exciting time.

I remembered to do a search. I just watched this. I have a friend who recently saw it and said he didn't like it. I have to disagree. I thought it was a smart and clever film. I enjoyed the writing, the direction, and most of all the acting. I had no clue that Frances McDormand played Pam, but was immediately struck by Pam's voice. Austin Abrams as the kid was also interesting. Not only did he look adorable in his white undies (loved the slow-mo shot), he seemed to have great chemistry with both older actors. Edit: (Yes I did a search, but did not realize this thread is in the wrong category. It belongs in Movies. Can a moderator fix this? Thanks.)

For sure. But still, both audiences, seriously gay. I keep forgetting how many of us live here. Plenty to go around. LOL.

Hell no. That guy's body looked amazing. Handsome, too.

I think he's cute. What little I have seen of him, he made me laugh. I think I caught wind of his talent during Covid. I saw Ellen DeGeneres at Radio City, her final tour. It was a magical, personal, and very sensitive evening. Some comics carry such a huge spirit and energy, the size of the stage does not matter. Ellen had the Radio City audience in the palm of her hand, and she worked that stage. They truly loved her. For large venues, I happen to love Radio City. There is something very magical about the place, at least to me. I also find the seats comfortable. As for working his crowd, it would be interesting to see how he handles that at Radio City.

I did not know that. That's some stiff competition for gays in the seats. Well, given that, I'm surprised Matteo is doing as well as he is at Radio City. I had no idea he was well known enough to get a booking there. I only know him from YouTube. There are still plenty of tickets left, but many sections are nearly sold out. It'll be interesting to see if he sells out by the 5th.

Are any board members going to see this show?

I love this guy and his very dramatic dog. I wish he would take me on a walkie and wee wee.

LOL. Not if you watch the post-Covid Karens on YouTube. Haven't flown since 2019. Those bitches scare the daylights out of me.
