Glad you like.

I obviously didn't do all that just to get a new avatar, but it seemed a shame not to use of the images as a new avatar.

And three locations

Oh, I changed clothes - 7 looks

Thanks all for your kind words. The shoot was totally amazing. I had never done one before. Great chemistry with the photographer - he seemed to really be enjoying himself. We did 500 shots in about three hours. I was exhausted. At the the end, I said, "So this must be what modeling is like." He said "exactly - models earn their money."

That's as good as it gets.

It's supposed to be bit dark

Some of you have asked me for a current picture. I promised I would post a new avatar after my photo shoot last month. Here it is. Hope you like.

I actually have two questions. I'm getting requests for flexing videos on IG.. How much would I charge? Could I use an OF page for this?

If somebody tells me they don't like something - I accept it at face value. I wouldn't attempt to delve into it.

I have played with sort of bi guys who want nothing to do with nipple play. And I understand. I like nipple play but it has to be approached a certain way for me. I even like it kind of rough, but we have to work up to that. When a guy starts, it has to very gradual and gentle. Anything more feels like a massive intrusion and makes me angry.

slowly

I think its good to to acknowledge the resentment but to "make a case for it" doesnt seem wise. Like it or not, the pandemic isn't an inconvenience that we are not supposed to have to endure. It's life and sometimes life REALLY sucks, like now.

A hookworm needs a host to survive, but, it is, in fact, living.

All true. tell me that a virus that has co-opted the metabolic machinery of a cell is not generating energy. It is true that they have a different strategy for generating energy, but they do. As I said, they are intracellular parasites and they employ a parasitic strategy in achieving their ends. Doesn't mean they are not living. And I do agree that virus particles are sort of like seeds. But since when is a seed or a spore not living? Yes, they may be dormant until certain conditions occur, but they are still living.

I always wonder what motivates people to speculate about the misfortune that could befall people currently enjoying the limelight. It is true that nothing is forever, but if someone is enjoying fifteen minutes of wealth and/or fame in social media, what, really, is wrong with that? What motivates someone to salivate over their coming downfall?

Most don't make much money. But a few make a lot - mostly on sponsorships and product endorsements. My photographer does shoots for some high-profile IG infuencers - a very few of them have 7-figure deals. Mostly the sponsorships are for discounted prices on a product line if you will promote it. Most of those influencers on IG don't actually live that way - they are just good at looking like they do. They don't own the luxury cars they pose next too. The fabulous condos were borrowed or rented for a single day, etc. My IG profile is starting to attract enough attention so that I get a few offers of sponsorships in a week. I don't even bother to respond to them.

But I will say this. Viruses are classified as obligate intracellular parasites. There are many species of obligate intracellular parasites, most or all of which are considered living organisms. What is it about viruses that would make it incorrect to see them as living organisms, in view of the fact that so many other obligate intracellular parasites are clearly living organisms? I truthfully don't know. My undergraduate degree is in biology but my knowledge is very dated.

I’m sure you know to use google scholar to answer your question.

I feel the same way everyone else does. Right now, one of the mental exercises that is helping me get through things is remembering that, in the long view, this is pretty unremarkable, as dramatic as it seems close-up. I do give allow myself to wallow with thoughts like "how much can one person take - a crazy president, pestilence, wild fires, political unrest, etc, etc." But humanity has been here before.

You can get a generic brand (TENVIR) from offshore for about $75/month

I would be very surprised if there weren't a consensus that viruses are living organisms.

When I first leaned about viruses in college biology, they weren’t considered to be living organisms because they didn’t meet all the requirements to satisfy the accepted definition of a life form. Since then, the understanding has changed and viruses are now considered living organisms.

That’s the other side of the coin. HIV isn’t very contagious but is extremely virulent, killing virtually 100% of its host population.
