I've never been in a gym that wasn't wall-to-wall mirrors. When exercising, mirrors are an important tool. They can help make sure you're doing something right. The last thing you want to do is hurt yourself, and believe me, it's very easy to do. A trainer definitely helps to avoid painful mistakes.

I'm sure I might laugh with you sitting next to me as we watch your favorite shows. (blush) Absolutely not. But gay men are so interesting, funny, entertaining and fascinating. Given the amount of money spent on streaming, I wish there was more high quality content featuring gay characters. A girl can dream...

That's about all poor Janet has.

A lot of gay people have paid their lives to the ambitions of powerful people.

At every turn, i was shocked by how much more pain I had to endure, especially in Episode 2. He had a good circle of loving, loyal friends who adored him. I loved the precious scenes with he and his parents. Exactly. Mostly controlling. He seemed to feel the need to control everything. OTOH, he seemed to wear his deep emotions on his sleeve and be open to criticism, or was he just playing along? He certainly knew how to play a mystery, and keep all people around him on their toes, guessing. But honestly, after what he had to endure as a successful gay man in show business, I can't blame him too harshly. You don't really know what a comic genius you are until the shit hits the fan, and then what do you do to keep it all growing? It seems at a certain point his good luck ran out, all without selling his soul to the devil. It is a miracle, especially knowing the deep darkness he fell into. He was so fortunate to have loving friends to help pull him out of that. Yet, he told no one about his cancer. Controlling to the very end. Very sad. I'm crying as I write this. OMG. I used to visit my aging parents in their conservative home town. There was an x-rated movie theater about 30 minutes away. I used to go there to get my dick sucked, masturbate, or suck dick with other like-minded men. Many of those cute, fun guys were in hetero relationships, starving for male intimacy. I loved chatting with them post-orgasm. When news hit about Paul, I fell to my knees. It could have been me! At the time, I hated what the media was doing to him. They were all hypocrites, feeding on the normal gay man for money. So many disgusting people in our society. Absolutely epic!

This is currently true in Manhattan for high-priced clubs. When I joined my local Y, they offered a senior discount of $65 for 30 minutes. I paid it, but 30 minutes went by so fast, I soon realized I couldn't afford it. I think so, too, and I enjoy it. However, my local Y specializes in many programs for young children. Maybe I'm crazy, but I envision lots of child-pee in their pool water, so I've yet to use the pool. Before Covid, I belonged to a gym that had an adult-only pool. I miss that luxury. I can't imagine what that feels like, but to me it sounds like a good goal. Even at my current age, I enjoy looking at my cock and balls in the mirror. Not so much my ass, because I used to have a nice one. No matter what, carrying extra weight at our age places a strain on our bodies. I will say, extra weight can help with a fall, so I try like hell to avoid falling. I have no padding. Without excess weight, I have more energy, and less pain in my skeleton. I decided at age 50 to never gain weight again.

Diego Sans has always made my heart flutter. I would act like a silly fool if I ever had the chance to meet him. I think he's one of the sexiest men in porn, and one of the most handsome. He has amazing star quality. I always thought he was one guy in porn who could end up doing whatever he wanted, and be a success. There are so many amazing photos in this thread. I don't think the guy can take a bad picture.

OMG, I finished E2. I had completely forgotten about the pedophilia accusation scandal. This guy's life is a roller-coaster of drama, with a very tragic end. Even though it was at times very painful to watch, I have to say I loved this documentary. In some ways, it should be a lesson for every gay man who chooses to live his life in the closet. I highly recommend that every gay person watch it.

Looks like quite a fun character. Italian/Brazilian, what a gene pool. Seems like an amazing body.

I'm watching it, but it doesn't make me laugh. Actually, it's a tragic story, getting more tragic by the episode. As I said on the Hacks thread, I gave it a try and lost interest. I may re-visit it one day. I do not enjoy the lead gay character. I found I was only able to take Larry David in very small doses. I do recognize his enormous talent. Were there any gays on that show? I don't know the other 3. The commercials for Righteous Gemstones drive me crazy. I don't see myself ever giving that one a chance. I'm not entirely ready to give up on the classic sit-com formula. Certain episodes of I Love Lucy still make me laugh today.

I saw a headline this morning that a pardon is being considered. If you're wealthy enough to purchase one, my gut is telling me it can happen. It's a good time to be a criminal in America.

Mat Mutchnick, who is gay and married, plus David Kohan, who is straight and also married. Both families have 2 kids. It's a very interesting writing/producing team. It's far from perfect, for sure. But I'll take "a gay Shecky Greene" over watching the news any day. The 3 guys seem to have good chemistry, and some of the lines and deliveries kick a punch. It's very difficult to find biting humor these days. Very difficult. Is there another Norman Lear coming up in Hollywood? Would America tolerate it now?

It's a great time in America to be a criminal.

Wow, that first paragraph. A serious English lesson in punctuation usage. My brain went on rodeo mode. I was never a Pee Wee Herman fan, but I started to watch the doc last night. His story is fascinating. I'm looking forward to Episode 2. Paul Reubens was quite handsome and sexy in his late teen years, and his face could make the most wonderful looks and distortions. Perfect for character acting. The camera seemed to love him, along with audiences, and he seemed a natural for show business. I was surprised to learn how he dealt with his being gay. It was a very different time, but I think he was right. Pee Wee Herman could not exist with its creator out and proud back then. Sad but true, and necessary.

With my memory jogged, I think the movie had a showing in Greenwich Village, and I think I went to see it.

One of the many reasons I refuse to own one. I would be very surprised if you hear anything from the police on this matter. I assume they chuckled, and moved on with their day. Good luck.

I wish I had a good answer, at least an encouraging one. I don't have any skin issues, other than mine is sensitive to certain products. Even with "no baby oil, please," the communication door often gets shut. My issues are skeleton related, and post-Covid, I haven't found one person truly interested in listening. I've learned to wait until I'm naked, and just about to get on the table, before I begin to explain what I can and can't do. Unless the provider is a med student, this will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Frankly, a customer can say anything, and the provider will decide what he believes and what he doesn't, based on what he sees and how his stomach reacts. The customer can try to educate a provider, but most of the HE guys will not respond like a professional. Yes, if you can find someone who understands and gives a damn, don't ever let him go.

I happen to think he's quite handsome, and I love his "good guy" appeal. He's always out to get the bullies in our world, and that's my kind of super hero. Considering his hot status, he has not done much nudity in his films. Never full frontal. Always wears a groin cover. Only his butt naked a few times when he was younger. He's almost 60 now, so I don't see it happening in the future. I didn't realize he has 2 children, so that may be the reason.

I thought so, too. A lot of actors cannot do comedy no matter how hard they try, and to me Jason seemed quite natural at it. I also thought he had great chemistry with Melissa McCarthy. IMO, Spy could and should have been much better. But it was Paul Feig's project. He wrote and directed. In spite of it being off-the-wall silly, the movie grossed over $235 million dollars, against a budget of $65 million. I was sure someone would bring Melissa and Jason together again after those numbers. I would love to know why it hasn't happened.

Stallone has writing credits on many of his films. Boxing is not my thing, and I'm not particularly a Stallone fan, but I did love Cliffhanger and Cop Land. He is an experienced Hollywood insider, so with A Working Man, I expected more. IMO, Jason Statham deserves better material.

Well, I wasn't expecting that. However, Stallone has been nominated for 3 Oscars, one being for Best Original Screenplay. That is not an easy accomplishment.

Did he say why?

The recent interview on YouTube between Patti LuPone and George Clooney was quite awkward. George tried to trip Patti up on her past Madonna comments, and Patti did not take the bate. It seems Patti doesn't want Madonna fans hating on her once again. The first go-round caused a social media shit-storm. I thought the interview was insufferable.

I've never had a foot fetish, but I love a man who takes care of his feet. It's a gold star for self-respect.

I guess you find out when you send a photo. I think he's hot. If I had the money, I would have no problem trying to seduce him into joining me for a fun night. He's says in his ad that he "has a soft spot for daddies and bears." Oh my. It's not everyday you see the words "passionate kisser" leading the written words.
