My man and I just got back from a couple days camping in Guerneville, CA. There was absolutely no one else on the 4.5 mile hike we did, so I couldn't help but get him naked and take some pics. He inspires me every day with his love, kindness, compassion and beauty. If this is what 57 can look like, I say BRING IT ON!

Is it possible to not do it over Coachella weekend?

Bottom line: It's well documented that the increase of traditional Sexually Transmitted diseases runs directly parallel to the introduction of PreP in the gay community.

Only people who deny this are: The Drug company who MAKES Truvada, and people who really really want to defend their right to bareback with a lot of strangers.

Its worth noting that we can't state unequivocally that STI's are more common since PrEP use became more popular, all we can say is that there are more reported cases, but that's probably in large part due to the fact that people are getting tested every 3 months in order to stay on PrEP, and many of them were likely not getting tested as often prior to Truvada. I volunteer at a clinic primarily for gay men, and have seen in the last 3 years a dramatic increase in demand for our services. In other words people are getting tested more. More testing will always equate to more positive test results. No one is talking percentages here, just raw (pardon the pun) numbers.

Prior to HIV, there existed all of the STI's that exist today, yet few used condoms. Why could that be??? Hmmmm, let's see, CAUSE IT FEELS SO MUCH BETTER. HIV is what changed things. So, if one doesn't need to worry about HIV, it's not surprising that they would want to go natural with some or all of their sexual partners. Your statement about barebacking "with a lot of strangers" seems judgemental and presumptuous, and also, guess what, they (we) DO have the right to bareback.

the best is the version that you posted. your my kind of ghost

Thanks hun!

A4A is a total waste of my time. The only reason I keep my ad is because of the past clients that I still get in touch with through there when I travel, plus, it's only $25/month. I've heavily considered reaching out to my clients on there and moving them over to regular email so I can get rid of my ad. 80% of my emails on there are compliments and people trying to hookup even though I clearly state that I'm only looking for clients, and to contact me directly through my website.

Between my "fucking a ghost" thread, Avalon's "have you seen a ghost" thread and now this, there's alot of chatter about ghosts. This one is pretty incredible.

I am pretty confident there is not such a thing as ghosts or paranormal phenomena. We just cannot explain natural events and in our need to understand make up the ghosts. Like religious people do with god, pretty much.

I say this with the upmost respect for those who think have experienced the visit of a spirit. IMO to believe that you must be going through some emotional ordeals, or somebody is just playing with you.

My belief is that our "reality" is shaped by our ability to detect and perceive it. In the same way that our eyes can't detect the majority of the light spectrum out there, I believe there is much that exists that we just can't see, hear or understand.

Ask @Lance_Navarro, I am not he sees them, but he can fuck them neverthe less.

Hehe, right!?! I've actually seen them and fucked them!

I'm renting out my lovely studio apartment in SF while I'm on Aids Lifecycle. It's $100/night, an absolute steal for SF. I'd prefer to rent it to someone that I've either met in person or at least chatted with and has been a long time member on the site. DM me to inquire about it.

Thanks guys for checking it out and for your kind words. Our bodies are incredible and capable of so much pleasure and possibilities beyond what we know.

Well if that is a shameless plug feel free to post more, amazing!

Hehe, thanks!

Thats the best description for the latest video I posted on Xtube, showing me having a coregasm while doing an elevated plank. Check it out HERE! I hope you'll find this educational and inspiring, not just a shameless plug.

Will have to shoot this again outside sometime, but here's a test shot in my apartment. Save a horse and come ride this cowboy!

I lock my helmet to the “sissy bar” on my bike. I often see people leave there helmets on there bike unlocked, but I’m just too worried that someone will steal it.

when visiting the Coachella Valley, I simply INSIST on staying at the Desert Lodge.....

Wow, what a shitbox! And yet still they can get $200/night over Coachella.

I saw a client at the Triangle Inn this year. A first time being there and it was quite cute. A small place, probably less than a dozen rooms, with lots of lovely landscaping and a chill naked vibe, that I'm sure could get cruisy, but overall was relaxed. The pool area is small, but adequate. I also had friends staying at Inndulge and found it to be really nice as well. Beautiful grounds with sculptures and a big pool and hot tub. I would recommend either. I was staying with an ex-client on this trip, so I had my own pool and hot tub

Sending much love. My LA trip just isn't the same without our time together, but I have no doubt we will get to share our magic time on my next trip down.

This weekend is something I look forward to for months and it did not disappoint. I love being a part of this community and enjoy every minute of our time together in PS. It was great to connect with old friends and new friends, and see the freedom and joy in everyone.

 

As some of you may know by now, Monday turned out to be a very different day. David SF and I were spending some time together. We got on his motorcycle and went to lunch. On the way home, a car pulled out into traffic and we were unable to stop or swerve. We hit him at about 45 mph and were thrown into the air along with the bike, somersaulting and I got banged by the bike in the air. We both had helmets on and landed on our backs in the street. Neither of us lost consciousness. We were transported by ambulance to the hospital where tests revealed that I had a sprained left ankle and my body is covered in scrapes and wounds. David fared better externally but has sprained fingers, sprained right ankle, and multiple fractures in his lumbar spine.

 

We were both allowed to return home that evening. David’s husbands (Todd and Carl) have been taking care of us in every way. We are both able to walk now but are still in significant pain. I’m here until Saturday and am staying with the guys so they can help me bathe, dress, and treat my wounds.

 

I thought I was going to die and in the time since, I’ve had a variety of unpleasant experiences. I’m focused on my gratitude that I’m alive. In the grand scheme of things, we are lucky to have gotten off with only the injuries we had, and the love and service that Todd and Carl and David have shown me have been instrumental in my physical and mental healing.

 

I could give all the warnings now about safety. I could go on about how grateful I am. These things are true, but I’m still a bit in shock and relatively rattled and really don’t feel like getting preachy. I’m alive, David is alive, we got one last hot fuck in after lunch before all of this, and life will go on (and we’ll get to have more sex).

 

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone next year. Thank you for making this community a home for me.

I just heard about this yesterday and I appreciate you updating us, and am glad that ultimately you'll are ok, though banged up. As a rider I know the risk I take everytime I get on that bike, but that I can't allow fear to control my life. Sending much love and I'm here for the both of you, if you need anything.

I guess I am one of those people that believes that relying on shame for any reason is not the way to make people adopt healthier habits. If scientific information does not help people to understand why avoiding some things or not avoiding those things then they should choose whichever they are most comfortable with. PrEP has lowered the possibility of infection and much of whether you might get an STD depends on just balancing what you know about the person you are going to make your partner. I really do not like to use shame as a psychological technique as it has been used to stop any kind of homosexual behavior much less barebacking.

How I feel exactly! Harm reduction is far more effective than preaching right and wrong and shaming people. Unfortunately, our country takes more the punishment and shaming approach, therefore it's natural that many think that's the best way.

Was so wonderful seeing and meeting all of you.

That’s a nice sentiment, Lance. But I’ll have to respectfully disagree. It was totally irresponsible to indiscriminately bareback once the cause of HIV and the mode of transmission was discovered. These people put themselves and all of us at risk. It’s much like the story of Typhoid Mary. She wouldn’t stop cooking even after being told she shouldn’t. She also wouldn’t wash her hands.

 

From Wikipedia:

 

Mallon was the first asymptomatic typhoid carrier to be identified by medical science, and there was no policy providing guidelines for handling the situation. Some difficulties surrounding her case stemmed from Mallon's vehement denial of her possible role, as she refused to acknowledge any connection between her working as a cook and the typhoid cases. Mallon maintained that she was perfectly healthy, had never had typhoid fever, and could not be the source. Public-health authorities determined that permanent quarantine was the only way to prevent Mallon from causing significant future typhoid outbreaks.

Even now while PrEP may prevent most HIV infections, there’s increasingly drug resistant gonorrhea. There’s also the risk of syphilis and other STD’s. While I’m not saying the good of society should always (if you’ll pardon the expression) trump the will of the individual. On the other hand when public health/safety is at stake, there has to be more to life than our own individual desires.

I understand your point, but I still don't see any effectiveness in shaming. And if 2 men mutually choose to not use condoms, they are putting themselves at risk and no one else. As far as syphilis, one only needs to make skin contact to contract it, so condoms don't really factor in there, and as I said before, other STI's are just as transmitable through oral sex as anal. So unless you plan to wrap it up when you're getting or giving head, than you're taking a risk. I can say with fair amount of certainty, that the few times I've had chlamydia, I got it from oral sex, but that's not gonna make me start wearing a condom or stop having my dick sucked.

All we can do is manage and mitigate our risk in proportion to our preference for pleasure, and through PrEP, regular testing and communication, I am doing just that.

I don't believe at any time in history there should have been shaming of those that chose to go natural when it came to anal sex. Shaming doesn't work, however education and harm reduction does. Before PrEP and TasP (Treatment as Prevention) however it was highly risky to engage in passive anal intercourse without a condom, unless perhaps you had discovered you were amongst the small group that appear to be genetically resistant to HIV. The stigma is lessened because the risk is lessened. Natural anal sex when you're on PrEP is no more irresponsible than natural oral sex for those not on PrEP, so I really hope the shaming and name calling can be finally and completely put to rest.

BTW, if I haven't made it clear before, I've been on PrEP for 5 years and ABSOLUTELY prefer the intimacy and connection that comes with natural, skin-to-skin sex, however my client's comfort level is priority over my pleasure, so I'm happy to wrap it up, if that's what's neccessary to keep them comfortable.
