I love to visit San Diego. But for the pandemic, I would have escaped the current heat wave by going there. But living there? It's very conservative and often described as "boring."

Why don't you tell us?!

Steven Wright makes his debut as the author of The Coyotes of Carthage, a political novel involving big money, Southern decadence, and political cynicism. It's very well written and I highly recommend it. Wright is a Black author. His take on racism is excellent. The protagonist is also Black, but the novel involves the moneyed world of politics, and that's still mostly white.

Hopefully if you buy from a higher end store you won't need the customer service. Isn't that what they mean when they say "you get what you pay for?"

@CuriousByNature, if I may have a go at this... I once was in London and staying at a decent hotel in Bayswater. One evening I was lying in bed and was about to fall asleep when I heard some moaning coming from the room next door to mine. Suddenly I heard their door open, so I looked out and saw a guy in a towel heading to the ice machine across from my room. I opened my door, which caused him to turn around. Suddenly his towel dropped and soon there was moaning coming from my room! And that, my friends, is the closest I have ever come to a travel sex story... Work for you? As a playful edit?

There was once an East Side bus terminal in Manhattan. I took the bus from the airport since my hotel was close by. Several empty seats, but I took the one next to a cute guy. I'm sitting there riding along and he is apparently asleep. His head starts moving toward me and ends up on my shoulder. Hmm, should I wake him up? I didn't, but when he finally "awoke" he kept his head there. We went to my hotel, had fantastic sex, and he went on his way.

The Guardian today has an article on Netflix original movie The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron. The article focuses on the gay characters: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jul/10/the-old-guard-charlize-theron-gay-romance

I love to read these stories, but why the Fetish forum?

When I lived in New York, I couldn't have cared less that a dermatologist was gay. I wanted good, and I found one. But, that was a long time ago, so have no names. The dermatologists in Palm Springs are a sorry lot in my experience. Thinking about your post, do you want to have an erection when the hot gay doc takes the moles off of your butt? Or do you just want them off?

That could be a topic for a separate thread! Does a big dick, in and of itself, make a guy "hot." If not, what does?

For those like me who really enjoy the streaming show The Crown, it's good news that there will be a season 6. https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/The-Crown-Will-Get-a-Sixth-Season-After-15396685.php

Great thread! Moondance, thanks for starting it!

Today's paper pictures him passed out on the floor. A columnist writes him off... https://nypost.com/2020/07/08/johnny-depp-the-ultimate-gen-x-pinup-goes-out-with-a-sad-whimper/ I think it is all very sad.

So eating any cold food from the fridge that had previously been cooked is dangerous unless re-cooked? If that's so, a lot of sick people are still eating cold food!

Once it is cooked to a temperature of 165, then I don't think it needs re-cooking. Warm it to your taste and eat.

I have seen these muscle steroid guys who work so hard on the upper torso then have peg legs. Worse is when they wear flip flops and they haven't groomed their feet in years. Why take care of the upper body and ignore the lower? I'll bet that Ben has pretty feet.

Does one have to wear a mask over the anal aperture too?

Your electric bill is going to be huge!

So does "fuck me!"

I miss baseball. But if there is a big risk to players, families, staff, then forget it. I can wait.

The Golden Gate Y in downtown San Francisco had a huge open shower. And a very active steam room.

High heat is common across the US this weekend. Here in the California desert we expect to hit 114. Normally I would set the thermostat to 77, but with the A/C working so hard, it seemed best to give it a slight relief...78! What is your thermostat setting? Is that your normal setting or is the heat causing a change?

Wouldn't a true peek-a-boo be an accidental glimpse of the secret parts? If you are showing it, then it's not a peek-a-boo. The thrill is getting to see something not intended for your viewing. Or so I think.
