What an unlucky fella.

We now know that seminal fluid (i.e. semen) is a vector of transmission for monkeypox. This is another argument for safe sex regardless of whether or not you're on PreP.

I agree, I like his behavioral approach to budgeting and saving. Cannot recommend him for investing advice - he keeps pushing mutual funds that carry loads (fees and commissions) and that does not sit well with me. 🤷‍♂️  Also the religious undertone is sometimes a bit much. 

He's never given a sound enough explanation for the rationale behind his  five fund portfolio. 

You'll pick up a lot of knowledge my watching Dave Ramsey's videos on youtube. Not everything he says is good advice but you'll still develop a broad enough understanding of the basics of personal finance and investing.

I say that because Monkeypox from the start has been stigmatized as the "gay disease". And it is not, just as AIDs wasn't either.  

99% of reported cases are in gay and bi men. 

This doctor has a pretty succinct breakdown of where we are:

To mitigate the risk of a margin call you could go with some combination of a HELOC on your paid off rental plus a margin loan on your brokerage account rather than fully sourcing your funds from a margin loan. 

I had the privilege of meeting Milan_Twink twice. We met in 2020 when he was using a previous rentmen account. He subsequently entered into an arrangement with a sugar daddy before re-entering the market as Milan_Twink and going on his whirlwind American tour, which was when he blew up on this forum.

Yeah like:

He is on 5 out of 7 nights during the week. He makes at the very minimum 10,000 tokens every night he's on which comes out to $500 a night and $2,500 a week. 

What happens when the looks fade, as they inevitably will?

This isn't really a pet peeve but it's just kinda sad whenever I go on chaturbate and see guys who from back when I was an undergrad that are still active on the site. It tells me that they either haven't made much progress in life or have had some sort of crisis that has set them back.

Why don't they just say "Gay Pride!?!?!??!"

Political correctness.

Toronto has three clinics including one downtown. Info is here.

The downtown location, Metro Hall, isn't that far from the gay village.  Google maps will show you the way.

I went to the one on the east end and they weren't busy at all.  It's also a clinic for covid shots and they seemed surprised someone came in for Monkeypox.  I'm sure the downtown location is busier.

Website states that they're only giving vaccinations to "at-risk populations".  Safe to presume that means gay and bi men.

There are guys who command $500/hr but he is not one of them.

I've never been a fan but on a human level I feel for him and wish him the best.

I plan to have my first pre-emptive full body MRI in two years. Most cancers can be nipped in the bud if they're found early. The problem is that you usually don't feel symptoms if you have an early-stage cancer and by the time you feel sick enough to go the doctor the cancer has spread.

So we now know that the virus spreads through contact with bodily fluids. Semen hasn't been mentioned as a vector of transmission so far but I suspect more knowledge will come to light soon.

So you're really out here admitting that even after the first two times, you didn't, as a top, bring your own god damn condoms, and along the way felt it was necessary to highlight the ethnicity of the guys? 

I give up

I was in London on a trip.

I've had escorts who selected "Safe Sex Only" in their ad try to bareback me.  

This happened to me 3 times.

First was the cute mexican twink who slid me in bare after the condom fell off mid-way through a meeting. I had to go on PEP because of him, not fun at all.

Second was the italian twink whose condoms couldn't fit me and so said we could do bare because he was on PrEP. This was even though in your whatsapp messages prior to meeting he told me he only plays safe.

Third was the Brazilian who "forgot" to bring condoms and wanted to slip me in bare. He also said condoms only in our whatsapp chats before meeting. We stuck to oral.

I suspect some escorts think it's flattering to a client to be willing to do bb but it's not.

It seemes every day we are getting a few more confirmed cases in Canada, all in the large eastern cities of Montreal and now one in Toronto. The worrisome thing is that the incubation period can be up to three weeks and I know the transmission route is through touching infected areas but they may be hard to see. Also surfaces like blankets and sheets can host the virus for an extended time.

Back in history, General Cornwallis advocated infecting blankets with smallpox germs and giving the blankets to the Indians. As a result his name has now been stripped from sites that bore it in the Canadian Maritime provinces.

His name should have been stripped long before then for his less than mediocre generalship during the Revolutionary War.

We obviously know very little about how transmission works right now but the fact that transmission seems to be predominant amongst gay men should raise a few eyebrows since there are way more straight people than gay people. If it turns out that this is something condoms can mitigate then that would strengthen the argument that PrEP is not some sort of free pass to bareback.
