  1. Yes, such activity is very real. Some submissives need substantial pain during their Discipline sessions. That's why a well trained Dominant is so important. It's very easy to reach a point where permanent damage occurs.
  2. Anyone in the Greek system who's honest knows that great movie has alot of truth in it. Lol
  3. Haha! As I've said previously, I explored BDSM while in college and some of my 20s. In college, some guys who were curious about BDSM would occasionally approach me. I was a pretty open secret within the greek system at college. You can use your imagination from there. Just picture a shy but kinda cocky tennis player who wanted to submit himself to my attentions.
  4. I love spanking. It's one of my favorite BDSM activities with women. I've only paddled guys in an official capacity though. Exploring BDSM in collage fit well with being my house disciplinarian. http://www.wellredweekly.com/index.php?article=473.
  5. Haha. This topic--American cooking shows vs. British cooking shows--has come up more than once over the years at dinner parties. One of my favorite ways to explore this has been to compare and contrast Gordon Ramsey's American shows versus his British originals. Here's a decent write-up and discussion about how American and British cultural expectations and norms are largely responsible for the variance. http://web.archive.org/web/20071024011039/http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/tv/la-et-kitchen19sep19,1,6452711.story?coll=la-entnews-tv http://ask.metafilter.com/193719/kitchen-nightmares-UK-and-US-version-why-is-there-such-a-huge-difference-in-quality
  6. The proportions are off on quite a few of these guys, either because of photoshop or they seriously over-train their arms. Plus, a few are much too young for me. But, this guy, every day, all day, and twice on Sunday. And that image led me to tuffjock09.tumblr.com where I found this guy. His arm isn't pumped, but something about the way he looks at the camera. Mesmerizing. http://66.media.tumblr.com/d70d52ed94594b02e2e70d759d0afa95/tumblr_o9c298GfKt1sjmh2co1_500.jpg Source: http://hipstermenlover.tumblr.com/post/146455888657
  7. This guy looks very familiar. Does he do porn? I know I've seen him somewhere before.
  8. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0i0IOKMmw3U/UAHtp0v8N9I/AAAAAAAABtc/2HGtznx5AwI/s1600/internet-memes-you-keep-telling-yourself-that.jpg I'm used to kids crying when they see me, so I take negative comments as truth and let them fester deep in my brain until they burst forth in a new hideous feature. On a serious note, I tend to do a quick mental assessment any time I receive feedback. When I feel there's a grain of truth, I'll consider the comment worth further processing. On the other hand, when I feel the comment is made from an unauthentic or negative point of view, I'll dismiss it and move on.
  9. Thanks Gman. I appreciate your reply and your passion. I don't know if you saw this post that I wrote about human sexuality or this related post, that tries to explain my personal position. I tend to agree with the perspective that sexual orientation is independent of romantic orientation and physical activity capability. Yes, I believe most people live life such that all three align for them, but I believe that's largely a cultural construction and not reflective of biological reality, flexibility, or capability. Your "normal attitude" is I think what most people describe as "masculine" and guys like this Bravo Delta are helping me to see this description and how it might reflect on my interests. Again, thanks for your comments. Well worth reading and thinking about for anyone interested in this complex topic.
  10. There's definitely something about him. he's well over half a foot shorter than me. I've never thought about it before, but a guy like him could be a lot of fun and well worth exploring. His attitude in the youtube video was perfect. And it's interesting how he said he's 69% straight in the video buy lists as gay on RM. I'm starting to really enjoy the fungibility so many seem to have around this particular "identification."
  11. I don't look like the jock, but I've tied up a twink like that once. Fun times.
  12. Exactly. I've read reports of him being a bully and homophobic in high school. It all falls into a clear pattern of a personality that gets off on power and "winning at any cost." Sadly, he'll probably do it again because he and his support network haven't learned anything from his crimes. I hope his next victim is strong enough to standup too or better yet, fight back and beat some sense into him.
  13. Well said. Did you see the reports about Brock Turner's drug use in High School? Or the reports about him taking pics and sending them to his friends while he was raping the unconscious woman? Lastly, there have been reports of at least one woman at the frat party pushing Brock away for inappropriate touching. I'm speculating, but I wouldn't be surprised if Brock was fully conscious and aware of what he was doing and that be got off on knowing he was raping a helpless woman.
  14. LOL! I'm not a believer in vigilantism, but the horrible miscarriage of justice in the sentencing of Brock Allen Turner has pissed me off. He's a rapist who has zero remorse, thanks to his dad, Dan A. Turner, being an entitled rich asshole. The judge, a Stanford alumni and former athlete, should be censured.
  15. Yes, the full text of her statement is powerful. Brock Allen Turner is a rapist, period. His dad is a tool too because instead of being grateful for the very light sentence, he's complaining about how it's too much for his poor son who can't eat his favorite ribeyes right now. Dan A. Turner is an entitled ungrateful moron in my book.
  16. Well, as they were grad students and he was a freshman, it's unlikely they were friends and grad students don't tend to do sports. They might've been a TA of one of his classes, but your point is received. All I'm saying, is it's also important to recognize when guys do the right thing too.
  17. Yes, there are plenty of dangerous men in our world, but let's please not disparage all men. The two graduate students who stumbled upon Brock Allen Turner raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster did the right thing. They chased him off, tackled him, and restrained him until the cops arrived.
  18. LOL! I added an ascii emoji though my kids tell me my emoji fu is weak so that's probably why it was missed.
  19. That was a lame attempt at a joke. The whole job creators propaganda is a diversionary tactic.
  20. Thank you. I try. I know I'm a better man because of my wife, family, and friends. My work causes me to mix with a pretty diverse group of people, so I'm used to all sorts of names for my "liberal hippy" ways.
  21. Exactly this. I know I sound like a bleeding-heart liberal hippy, but I work with trauma victims regularly and men in privileged and protected positions--typically white & wealthy in America--often don't understand in a visceral gut-level way what being sexually assaulted is like for a woman. We are only just now beginning to barely acknowledge the deeply embedded sexism in our society. This knowledge is part of what's behind all the millennial guys who fear being naked in the gym. They are aware in a visceral way of what women have experienced for centuries: their bodies as sexual objects of lust by predatory men.
  22. I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree. You are minimizing the horror of rape for this woman. I'd ask you to reread what you wrote and think about it from the perspective of a rape victim. Try to be in her shoes. Waking up in the hospital. With bruises, cuts, blood, and soreness that you have zero memory of anything that could've caused all of it. There is zero comparison between a medical pelvic exam which you are conscious of consenting to and waking up with bruised sore genitals with dirt and other particles shoved inside and no memory of how it happened. The level of disassociation and psychological trauma are very real and significant for such victims. To make matters worse, she had to relive that trauma regularly all throughout the trial plus additional traumas caused by a puerile media looking to sensationalize her experience and a savvy defense attorney trying to discredit and destroy her. And that doesn't even touch on her likely own self-hatred, guilt, and whatever her boyfriend and family went through and did to her. With extensive and expensive counseling, she should recover, but she will always have this as a part of her. This is something many men--especially white men--frequently do not comprehend about women in our patriarchal sexist society. Most women go through life with a deeply embedded and constant "hum" of fear about men. Think of how the phrase "boys will be boys" was used in the past to excuse aggression in boys? Think of all the stories about "boys only want one thing" that we tell our girls over and over. Yes, there's some truth, but the underlying message our girls receive as they grow up in America is that men are dangerous and that you never know when one of them will go from catcalls, or comments on your "rack" to physically or sexually assaulting you. Sadly, given the statistics and news stories it happens quite regularly and is rarely reported because of this! Our society minimizes or even dismisses the victim's pain and suffering and barely punishes the rapist. Until our society truly tackles the reality of how common rape is in America--and boys and men are raped too--we will never have a just society and we will never have true sexual equality.
