Winky

I'm pretty sure the trend for shaving body hair, and desirability of "clean," came about during the early years of AIDS. Clean implied young, inexperienced, and therefore less likely to be infected.

I would maybe put my sexual desires aside and help him get off the streets if that's what he means by "homeless." It might just be that he has no permanent residence and couch surfs and does overnights. Sex with people who are sleeping in the street could mean getting infected with lice, scabies, mites...which takes more than a "Pretty Woman" shower to get rid of.

I believe that Thai Union was also the sole supplier of shrimp to Red Lobster, and forced the revived "all you can eat" promotion against the wishes of Red Lobster top management. Perhaps the profit to Thai Union from wholesale shrimp sales was more valuable to them than the loss of retail profits within in Red Lobster?

It might also be that younger children feel more free to be different. Many parents are stricter (out of fear that they don't know what they're doing, perhaps) with and have more defined expectations of the first child (in case it's the only one)... so the younger kids are more independent, adventurous and more likely to explore new things.

For those who met him, is that his apartment in the photos, with the bookshelf behind the bed? Because it also appears in the ad for AlejandroMc: AlejandroMc - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in New York City, NY | RentMen RENTMEN.EU Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in New York City, NY - AlejandroMc: MASCULINE / DISCREET Are they a couple?

Maybe it was to protect the other guy.

If they fly non-stop to Las Vegas, where prostitution is legal, and then make the argument that they're not taking business away from locals, with testimonials from clients who prefer escorts with foreign accents... they should be allowed in!

What was the story with David Forrest, in the end. Did he set up actual meetings or was it a scam?

Maybe it means "prepaid." (Ad says "2 for 1" which should be the opposite of pricing "per person," but maybe I'm taking things too literally.)

I think the OP issue is about something specific to the Hollywood Hills and other residential areas with sporadic cellphone coverage. The drivers are entirely dependent on the navigation to find their way out of the winding streets, afraid of getting lost or unable to contact you before they pick you up if they lose service, or after dropping you off, and unable to get their next ride after dropping you off... which also would explain why the map shows them not moving (they are moving, but the app isn't updating their position). There was a different problem for awhile in 2021, which was a huge shortage of drivers, long wait times and fewer cars available, so some drivers were dropping requests because of the distance to pickup if a much closer request came in on the other service, but that has largely been resolved now that there are plenty of drivers out there.

I also think our idea about what's handsome changes, influenced by popular media and advertising. We find more beauty because the influence of these is wider and stronger (more present, more engaging) now, so more people aspire to those ideals.

On the diet side: Weight loss is simple math. Drop 500 calories a day, you'll lose 1 lb a week. You don't have to change what you eat, just how much. You can eat the same number of meals a day, just smaller portions. OR you can stop drinking and stop snacking. That would probably get most people there. Finally, eat slower. It takes time for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so if you eat fast you don't get the message in time.

Are people seriously looking on Grindr for other guys who are in the same gym at the same time? I'm a tech-forward guy who believes iPhones have made our world a better place, but this makes me sad. I have a private trainer who comes to my house. I've been thinking about going back to the gym, but this thread has set back those plans.

The problem with this question is the absolute nature of the question. Aside from some very good points made already (for example, it might not just be that you die earlier, but that you suffer for years before dying if the prostate cancer spreads), there are different treatments and many different outcomes and don't all necessarily involve giving up orgasms or a reduced sex life or satisfaction. Studies show that radiation treatment, for example, results in fewer short term side effects (urinary incontinence, erectile disfunction) but increasing ones over time (as the scar tissue heals). Surgery (removal of the prostate) has a longer recovery, but with gains over time, often maxing out over the next six months to a year. My own experience with surgery: 1. the worst side effects are immediate and then show rapid improvement (didn't love the catheter in for 2 weeks, although grateful it was inserted while I was still in surgery) and only used small, unobtrusive pee pads for another month. 2. The improvement starts fast and then slows down, which made me think I wouldn't fully recover, but somewhere between 6 months and 8 months out, I'm fully functioning (no urinary issues, full erections and satisfying climaxes... with the follow caveats). There are mental adjustments to be made. Sex won't be the same, but that doesn't mean it's not as good. It's taking time to get my head around the lack of ejaculation. Cumming was always a sign of virility, a turn-on, and I was an impressive shooter (over my head... onto the pillow... with multiple ejaculations that strong. Now I have the same climax feeling, but nothing comes out. It's strange, anti-climactic, so to speak. Maybe some people would find this is a benefit (no clean-up; no question about spit or swallow). For me, it's a big mental adjustment. It takes a little longer and more stimulation (physical and mental) to get fully hard. On the other hand, after I climax, my erection stays longer and I'm ready to go again much sooner. I don't feel drained, literally or figuratively. So, I feel hornier and harder right after. Huge plus. For me, it wasn't a choice of longer life or better sex... I likely ended up with both, although both are a little different than they were. Certainly my gratitude for being cancer-free and not thinking about something that might be growing and spreading in my body is powerfully positive. Sexual confidence is still gaining, but shows every sign of being what it was before. Having said all that, I'm 65, in excellent health otherwise, low BMI (6'0 165), fit and generally happy. And I live in a city with excellent hospitals, so the surgery was probably done by one of the best. None of this is meant to replace medical advice or serious research. I just wanted to offer that, in my experience, the question isn't necessarily an either/or proposition.
