@Luv2play You got me to change my avatar after all these years!

I may have forgotten how...but try clicking on the generic avatar you have- the big L. You should get a box asking if you want a custom avatar. If so, enter the link for it where suggested...try this link just to see if it works: https://playdoh.hasbro.com/images/faq_mascot.png It should turn out like this:

No shit!

Poop is not something I find sexual. Seeing it or watching it exit is not my fantasy. Then there's the smell... I am not into cadavers either.

This ignores the fact that some masseurs may use drugs. No posing required!

A trainer at a gym in New York once gave me a few free sessions. I was so attracted to him. He was an Asian with a gymnast physique and had the sexiest biceps. Two on each arm, one on top of the other. I subtly assessed his interest in me, and damn if he was just being a nice guy and wanted nothing from me!!

So that's why you lost your fancy bidet!

If you miss traveling to New York City, HuffPost today has some great photos in a piece on tourism in NYC during the pandemic: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tourism-nyc-pandemic-photos_n_5fd790d5c5b6218b42eb20b5

Amazon is the big giant who seems to be continually criticized, and maybe for good reason. The Amazon Smile program apparently has several anti-gay charities getting funds: https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/diversity-inclusion/531331-amazon-accused-of-allowing-anti-lgbt Story at a glance In the last year, Amazon customers have donated $215 million to charities through AmazonSmile. A new report reveals that these charities include dozens of U.S.-based anti-LGBT groups. The company has policies against discrimination based on sexual orientation and pledged to be an advocate for the community.

The West Hollywood City Council has approved changes to the rainbow crosswalks in the city. Transgenders are the first to be honored, but black and brown colors will also be added: https://www.wehoville.com/2020/12/22/weho-city-council-approves-creating-transgender-flag-crosswalk-adding-black-and-brown-colors-to-rainbow-crosswalks/ The new rainbow:

The INNdulge resort is up for sale. https://www.towleroad.com/2020/12/gay-inndulge/

I wouldn't think it was intentional. It's not as if Bath and Body products are worth losing a client over.

@Maximiliam This is your best post yet!

LOL! Between this comment and your post about having to squirm on the tush toilet, you have shared some really anal stories!

My insurance company keeps sending me things to do that my doctor already does. He bills them, so they should know that I have already done the things they want done independently of him.

The SF Chronicle says don't bother! https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/movies-tv/review-youve-waited-all-this-time-to-see-tenet-now-dont-even-bother-unless-maybe-in-a-theater A sample: First of all, if you’re one of the people who waited to see “Tenet” — who didn’t take the risk of going to a movie theater in a pandemic — consider your choice vindicated. It is now available to stream so you can watch it safely in your home. You could watch it 10 times in a row, if you like, and by the eighth or ninth viewing, you might even get halfway toward figuring out the plot.

This movie is getting plenty of publicity. Have you been following it? I keep waiting for someone here to write about it. Is it only for jazz lovers? Is it worth seeing if only for Chadwick Boseman's final work? This column at theantlantic.com makes me think it is worth watching: Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom begins with what seems at first like a harrowing journey. Netflix’s new adaptation of the late August Wilson’s play opens with a foreboding shot of the woods; the only noises are of crickets chirping, dogs barking, and young Black men gasping for air as they sprint through the trees. But then, we hear the music. As soon as the men detect Ma Rainey’s thunderous voice spilling out from a tent where the famed blueswoman is singing, we know they’re safe. Cradled by sweet sounds and the chatter of the crowd, they’ve made it home. Released yesterday on streaming, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom tells the story of a fictionalized Ma (played by Viola Davis) gathering with her backing band to record new songs in a Chicago studio in 1927. The members of the band—Cutler (Colman Domingo), Slow Drag (Michael Potts), Levee (Chadwick Boseman, in his final role), and Toledo (Glynn Turman)—clash with one another and with the white managers producing Ma’s album. But like Wilson’s play, the George C. Wolfe–directed film isn’t just about a brilliant singer, or about the entertainment industry. The story concerns itself chiefly with the role of music in documenting and, in some cases, defusing the unspeakable pains that birthed the blues. Even when no songs are playing, Ma Rainey is a reminder of Wilson’s reverence for the genre. Just as the film takes care to depict its lead’s formidable presence, it pays attention to the larger forces threatening Ma’s artistry—and the lives of all the singers in the room with her. https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/12/ma-raineys-black-bottom-netflix/617445/

@marylander1940 Have you researched this? Please provide the information to back up this odd claim.

The Weekend was originally held in February, but the weather was not always warm, so @Oliver wisely moved it to April.

So he is super hot, and for $160 he is giving you a great massage while both of you are nude. He allows touching at that rate. What would you want from him that might be worth the extra $40?

Is this the last post from @RealAvalon? He hasn't signed in for about 6 weeks. Anyone know why?

Your posts here and at boytoy.com seem to support that. I suggest that you look into volunteer work. You could help yourself while helping others. Naturally, I assume that you are able to do that.
