  1. I get that that works for some (many) men, but that would have made me go limp. I was beginning to fool around in a back room of a bar with someone who replied to me asking his name with, "What does that matter?" I took my hand off his dick and walked away after telling him that that wasn't the kind of vibe that worked for me. It might be just a quickie, but I want to feel like I'm with a person in the moment.
  2. If it takes fame outside the gay world to be a gay porn legend, then I'm not sure there has been a legendary gay porn star. Maybe Jack Wrangler became well enough known due to his marriage to Margaret Whiting and occasional work in mainstream entertainment (he was well enough known to have a posthumous documentary made about him), but I cannot think of anyone else from porn whose name would be recognizable to anyone outside the gay male community. Even someone like Brent Corrigan who gained added name recognition when it was revealed that his first films were made pursuant to a fake driver's license is likely unknown to anyone who doesn't watch gay porn. I don't think mainstream audiences checked out King Cobra. ?
  3. Sorry for so many posts. I didn't realize until now that the OP suggested men's best "assets," so I assume he was seeing videos where men show off their back sides. Well, at least a few of my posts still count.
  4. The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men
  5. Diana Ross - Muscles
  6. Lady Gaga - Poker Face
  7. Britney Spears - Womanizer (okay, so the guy keeps his clothes on mostly but he's so cute)
  8. Cazwell - Ice Cream Truck
  9. Christina Aguilera - Dirty
  10. Kylie Minogue - Slow (among many others).
  11. Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing
  12. It's obviously a personal decision, but I don't automatically dismiss someone from my life because he may hold views different than my own. A lot of it depends on how it plays out. If there's an agreement to disagree on some things and it doesn't put a strain on a relationship, I can maintain the connection based on the other things I share with that person. But it is a matter of degree: I'm unlikely to want to be associated with someone whose views I find so abhorrent that I cannot ignore them. This conversation reminds me of someone I had a few dates with many years ago. I thought he was attractive, fun in bed, and we shared some interests that made hanging out together fun. I hated being out in public with him, however, because he was so misogynist. I felt so uncomfortable with the things he said that anyone around us could hear if they cared to listen that I just couldn't continue to spend time with him, even behind closed doors. He just became too ugly to me because of the personality he revealed when we were out in public.
  13. I don't like the middle finger in an ad, either, but I've wondered whether some guys think it's a way to communicate that they are a dominant top. Given that it means "fuck you" in the U.S., when I see a photo with an expressionless face and a middle finger raised I can almost hear the guy saying in a gruff voice, "I'm going to fuck you until you can't take it any more." I like a more mellow kind of guy who can build excitement and then give me what I want, so an aggressive posture doesn't turn me on. Someone who is attracted to a "bad boy" type might find a photo like that more enticing.
  14. I am reminded of that young kid whose family has monetized his reactions to playing with toys. I don't remember their names, but apparently he is one of the highest paid (if not the highest paid) YouTuber. We're talking serious money here, not pocket change. Apparently one year the channel made about $11,000,000! When I first read that some tyke was raking it in by opening toys and playing with him, I decided to watch a couple of his videos. Obviously I'm not the target audience (no longer a kid and not a parent), but I just didn't understand the appeal. Not that the videos were horrible, but I didn't understand why millions of people would regularly want to watch him and his parents. With that as a background, there probably are enough people who are willing to fork over money to some young man so they can tell him to eat broccoli and not hamburger today. I don't get it, but the Kardashian family has enjoyed enormous popularity for many years now and I don't get that, either.
  15. hide.me still works for me in Chrome.
  16. I read the interview and don't get it. It doesn't seem that different than other people who've branded themselves online. People pay to follow them on various platforms, and frequently those people will make requests. For example, if it's a porn performer a subscriber might ask for a certain kind of video to be made. Or the performer might ask for feedback from the audience generally as to whether they want to see something specific. Isn't this the same thing, albeit with clothes on and high-tech jargon being used?
  17. I've seen people post videos like this on YouTube as well. Unless someone has some expert or inside knowledge to add to a show, I cannot imagine wanting to watch people watch a TV show for more than a couple of minutes (and only that length of time of the guys are cute).
  18. Just to clarify: I don't think anyone is suggesting that an individual needs to use a broader term when referring to themselves. If you are a gay man then you are still a gay man unless you want to call yourself something different. The broader terminology is meant to be used when referring to the community as a whole. If one writes LGBT this specifically means lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender; what about those individuals for whom one of those labels doesn't apply? That's why the acronym has been expanded.
  19. It doesn't matter to me. I've even seen additional letters added -- another Q for queer, A for asexual, sometimes a second A for ally and P for pansexual. And then there is LGBTQIA+, the "+" referring to a number of different gender identity and sexual orientation labels across the spectrum. Acronyms like these are easy enough to use in writing, but it does become unwieldy when speaking. I doubt there could ever be a consensus of a single term to use because inevitably some people will feel left out of whatever label is used.
  20. I'm not sure why someone would be relieved to discover he has already been exposed to the novel coronavirus since it is unknown at this time whether someone exposed could be reinfected. I guess if you know you were exposed and never had symptoms then maybe it would give you piece of mind that if you got exposed again you are still unlikely to have symptoms, but I don't even know if that's known at this time. There is still so much unknown about this virus.
  21. When I was putting more effort into online dating, I frequently came across profiles where I would think, "Oh, this guy looks similar to me in terms of age and body shape, and he's looking for a relationship like me, yada yada yada" and then I'd reach the end of the profile only to see the guy was only interested in guys half his age who were in much better shape.
  22. By seducing them, I meant that was the fantasy portrayed in the video. There is a whole genre of videos like this -- mostly older (but sometimes not that much older) guys who are clearly recording their paid sexual interactions with men. Obviously not every escort would be willing to have his encounters filmed like this and it's probably for that reason that many of these producers of porn feature guys who aren't pros and don't end up doing work for other studios. Sometimes I wonder how much a guy like Jake Cruise or the guy behind Military Classifieds pays the men they have sex with on film. I assume that before it was easy to watch porn online that guys like that ended up profiting from their hiring; nice work if you can get it, assuming you don't mind having your sexual encounters filmed. I personally never would have been comfortable selling videos of my sexual encounters.
  23. This is sort of the appeal Jake Cruise had for me 20 years ago. He was even older and fatter than me at the time and yet he was seducing all of these hot younger men. Of course I knew that there was money involved, but it still enabled me to fantasize more about being in his shoes in the moment than when I watched two men who didn't look at all like me going at it. Not that I disliked the latter, either; I'm somewhat of a porn hound.
  24. I had no idea that KitKats in Japan come in so many varieties. Most of the ones listed on this website seem like they would be embraced by Western pallets; I don't even know what some of them are.
  25. I like onion pancakes, but it doesn't mean I want to eat them with milk poured over them. Maybe Koreans don't eat cereal that way, but that was my first thought. If it's eaten dry, then it's basically a cracker and I have no trouble with the notion of eating an onion flavored cracker.
