I didn't chose any of those photos, so I am confused by your comment. You’re shown as the originator of post #31877 which has those photos @WilliamM. I didn’t intend you to be confused. I was simply expressing my views on the last young man featured; others may see him as physically desirable but I rather feel he’s a cock-tease towards gay men as I’ve seen him work his charms IRL.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting this, @samhexum I recently watched and was intrigued by a BBC documentary (“The octopus in my house”) where the same Alaskan marine biologist (David Scheel) had an octopus as a form of pet. Here’s a link to a good review of the documentary https://www.newstatesman.com/the-octopus-in-my-house-bbc-two-review And here’s a link to a clip, tho I don’t know if it will work in the US https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07kpmn1/p07kpm8m

What @Unicorn wrote resonates with me. I feel that ‘letting go’ is just as valid a response as forgiveness. I do, however, take issue with the more nuanced approach of @BnaC as a child lacks power vis-a-vis the parent. Contextualisation may only be possible as an adult. After a vicious upbringing, letting go and getting on with life as an adult may be best; it’s certainly freeing.

Yes. Luckily both Zander and his bf belong to our tribe. Andrea is pretty but I dislike his constant posturing: posing for advertisers in hotels with a young woman; flexing/getting naked with other young muscled men for OnlyFans; and professing to be str8 (tho I met him on a gay vacation).

Correct @WilliamM but Michael is aka Michael Johnson and Michael Dean Johnson

Michael’s a beauty (and with a nice dick). Newly married to a woman, tho. The pic directly above is also of him when younger.

You have good taste @MikeBiDude If the photos are to be believed, he is an attractive young man.

He was a guy I met regularly and supported while he studied for a degree in graphic design, and while he was getting established in his first job. My dominant nature meshed well with his submissive streak, and he still has a great physique.

As @wrestlerdanny put it “To me there is nothing hotter than having a sexy young guy take my load” I agree that there’s no finer sensation. Of course, it’s important to ask and have consent beforehand as some guys (me included) really dislike the taste of cum. As a lazy selfish top myself, I enjoy kicking back after some energetic fucking and having the bottom finish me off. And to me, that includes swallowing my load and keeping sucking until I finish spurting. I especially rate a guy swallowing my load as it enables me to relax fully; if I know a guy doesn’t want me to climax in his mouth, I have to stay very aware of my approaching orgasm and pull out in time. When I hired (now more than 5 years ago), I found a lot of guys enjoyed swallowing - maybe 40% of the guys I met. I’m still in touch with one handsome blond muscleboy-bottom who so loved the taste of my cum that as I spurted into his mouth, he himself would ejaculate hands-free.

Presumably if he thought the potential demand for his services was considerable in the US, he’d hire an immigration lawyer himself. It’s speculation on my part but he may have difficult issues with the IRS too...

Just to add to the original post by @Unicorn... I’m reading Elton John’s newly-published memoir. To me, it’s not just his father who was abusive; his mother was equally abusive. He describes his parents’ marriage as “toxic”. To give just one example about his mother, EJ writes “ ...she'd toilet-trained me by hitting me with a wire brush until I bled if I didn't use the potty.”

I can really relate to this @Rudynate. As an adult I did the same. My rationale was entirely selfish; I did not want to feel guilty in any way once she died. And I too do not miss my mother.

I had an abusive mother. It was not possible in later life for me to forgive her. We did manage to have a couple of long talks together as she neared the end of her life. What it has meant for me is that as an adult, I’ve had to work hard at being loving and caring as a person. Tho I always try not be judgemental and critical, it has left me quite intolerant of cruelty and nasty people.

I agree. And in this age of 24/7 rolling news, whatever happened to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

Though generally you make a lot of sense @mike carey, on this I disagree with you. Some regional accents such as from Liverpool, Newcastle and parts of Scotland are really hard for English people from elsewhere to understand. That such speakers are employed by the BBC is due to a politically correct or left-wing agenda in that institution to show that all voices are valued and of equal merit. Comprehensibility is not a concern.

It used to be called Received Pronunciation (RP) and this was what was heard on the BBC in the UK. In recent years, however, the BBC has engaged in dumbing-down by promoting many presenters with regional accents - some of them with poor grammar and bad enunciation - in pursuit of diversity and to avoid charges by the left-wing of elitism.

Why would you tip at all? I know employees can be poorly paid and I generally tip well. But I’d never tip a disinterested and poor masseur after such a terrible experience.

I can’t dispute what you state @Rick M I can only state the obvious, that if you are interested in a “serious relationship” you have to keep dating. Escorts provide a useful service and may be delightful companions for a time, but... I’d add that you mustn’t lose heart. I certainly kissed a lot of frogs on old-fashioned dates before I met my ‘prince’ 6 years ago and I’m in my 60s.

I understand Americans taking pride in their country but this statement is not true. As giardia was mentioned originally, I agree with the statement by @Unicorn (“plenty of Giardia in the US”) It’s worth noting that the US draws 70% of its consumption of freshwater from surface supply whereas the figure for Europe is 35%. Of the amount taken from surface supply in Europe, it’s estimated that fully 50% is taken in the European part of Russia. Of course, the taste of water in the home varies in Europe and many people, like me, have installed a domestic filtration system and also consume bottled mineral water.

I sympathise @Quincy_7 but are you certain you got it that way? It’s a nasty bug and takes some getting rid of. It’s sometimes found in surface water supply, so if you’ve been hiking in the countryside... “ is this just part and parcel of enjoying men's bodies?” Not necessarily. I have a friend who’s a skilled and voracious rimmer. He’s done this for various men, including me, over the years and never contracted any illness from it.

Yes @Reisr30 your posts were polite. Please don’t stop posting in this forum as I found the thread you started interesting. And I too would be alarmed if someone brought drugs to a meeting with me. Just an aside, but I have as my general physician a man who is widely regarded as the best in Europe. I once asked him about testosterone supplementation as it has been discussed here before. His view was that there is no safe level of supplementation as no-one knows what is a normal level for a man. So there’s a strong contrast between the prevailing attitudes about this between the US and Europe.

My thought too

“ just an update ” ? Wow @asian sensatin You must have been very horny, and seriously busy, in the last few months!

Your sexual fantasy seems to be getting quite feverish @joethomas ;-)
