Still wondering what's up at Dick's. I am planning a Phoenix trip...

I don't dress like Rip or Liberace, don't speak like Paul or CNR, and I don't have any interest in Barb, Liz or Judy. But I am proudly gay. Stereotypes are what you are presenting.

If what you are saying is true, one would expect to see a surge in HIV cases among gay men. That ain't happening.

Sherman's food sucks.

@RyanDean No, I have not.

@pubic_assistance Thank you for the clickable links.

I won't miss it. I think it is a wise decision.

Yesterday I read the very gay novel Just By Looking At Him, by Ryan O'Connell. It's about a TV script writer, Elliott, who has cerebral palsy.. He is in a 5 year relationship with Gus, who seems to be an ideal partner. But Elliott begins seeing a sex worker, River, who is hot and handsome and adept at his work. (Did I mention that there is a lot of sex in this novel?) Eventually the Gus and Elliott relationship takes a turn and the novel changes direction. For me, it was downhill from there. The sex worker stuff in the novel made me wonder if the author is a poster here.

I don't need to do anything. You are the one pretending to have facts to support your statements. And you have a job??? How do you post here from morning to night and still work and have a family?

Wikipedia says in paragraph one that Khalil was born August 23, 1977. In paragraph two, they say that Khalil was born on August 23, 1974. And here I have been thinking of how reliable the site is.

Could you back up your statements with links? Name ALL the reading you have done, whether medical journals or Mickey Mouse comics. What is the link to your statistics showing the difference between the pharmaceutical companies and independent studies? You love to make statements that hint at having a background, but you don't back them up with evidence.

A 12-pack of Coke is $9.49 at Walgreens, but at the Kroger store you get 4 of them for $15. Even that is higher than in the past. I remember paying a nickel for a bottle of Coke. It's empty because I drank it!

"The gay boys..." Really?

Hawk Mountain is indeed very well written. I liked much of it. But the travails of the main character, Todd, are a bit hard to take. It definitely is intense. Perhaps its a tale of the hardships of staying in the closet. A lot of damage gets done. @RyanDeanyou listed this under "novels by providers." Is Conner Habib a provider? I also notice that the copyright is held by Andre Khalil. Is that the author's real name?

What is the attraction? Usually it is a person, not a state of being.

AIDS is an acronym, thus capital letters.

Based on your post @RyanDean I now have a copy of Hawk Mountain to read. Many reviews talk about how depressing the novel is, so I am curious as to how I will like it.

Google Maps gave me incorrect directions or I would have visited this place so I could inform those visiting Palm Springs. They do have a website https://palmspringsmenspa.com I am not sure why the names are different. But I did call and got the correct location. I was told that there were 5 masseurs available now. The website gives the various services that they perform. What attracted my attention in the first place was this ad on rentmasseur.com: https://rentmasseur.com/MensRetreat The ad has this picture: I am not sure that he actually works there, but I would be pleased if he did. I received a text after I hung up from Cody, who is one of the listed masseurs. He was quite friendly on the phone. Now I will have to check it out!

If something "turns you on" how can it be nonsexual?

Say, @ShyButtFriendly, I love your name! Welcome to the Forums. I look forward to seeing your posts! Don't be shy!

@glutes...what is the Palm Springs Festival? I don't see any mention of this guy going to Palm Springs.

He should work for Lyft! They have last minute canceling too.
