In the boner sweepstakes market, Levitra (vardenafil) runs a distant third in popularity after Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). As others have suggested, it probably just isn't in your drug plan formulary while the other two are, at least as generics. My plan lets me check plan prices online, you might want to run the others by your plan and see what you would pay. I pay $5 for 18X20mg tadalafil, which I can refill every three months by mail order. I quarter the 20s, yielding 72 daily doses.

Reading this again, there's a LOT missing from this "police blotter" report ... The incident happened almost 8 month ago. It took an 8-month investigation to get to an arrest? This is what the Miami-Dade prosecutors spend their time doing? Why was the arrest at 3 in the morning? On a FELONY assault charge?? And he's held in custody without bond?? The therapist has been licensed since 2011 (when he would have been 19 yo). Not new on the block. Hard to imagine he wasn't scrupulous about "extras," especially if booked through a mainstream site. Of course, the scenario immediately suggests gay panic, where the client was into it until he freaked out about it. As others suggest above, how did we get to "mouth on peen"? Was client draped? Was there genital touch prior to MOP? Was there any communication about any of this? It's too minor an incident to ever get any news follow-up so we'll never know. But it's too bad this kind of chilling, sketchy story floats around out there without any clarity.

oh for fuck's sake

If HIV status is a dealbreaker for a client, or even means a change in requested services, such client must assume ALL providers are HIV+ and take steps accordingly. Self disclosure has never been reliable. To each his own where appetite for perceived risk is concerned, but in our age of PrEP and U=U, this kind of drama seems (happily) retro.

Thanks for sharing this, sounds like you found an excellent and expert provider. You seem to be self aware enough to know the attachment you feel isn't real (for you OR him). Book again as time and finances permit, and if you haven't already, explore non-commercial avenues for the kind of play you seek. That could lead you to a real community of friends, playmates and (maybe) lovers to extend beyond the 2 hrs. with your pro.

Well it depends largely on where you are! If by chance you're in NYC, https://www.bearpartynyc.com/ might suit. Crowd is diverse but skews older, the event is for bears and their admirers. No guarantees of course, but I doubt you'd feel out of place.

That of course depends on the dosage, which I believe widely varies depending on the procedure and the patient. The first scope I had many years ago I asked to be kept awake to watch. I was very lightly sedated (and embarrassingly chatty as I recall), enough to relax but not lose awareness. The doc commented that he likes when patients are awake enough to respond to requests to shift or reposition a bit. At the other extreme, the dose I had for hip surgery had me totally out for 2 hrs.

I don't have a specific recommendation, but there are groups and facilities that broadly sponsor gatherings around the topics mentioned. On the West Coast there's https://www.thebillys.org/ In upstate NY there's https://www.eastonmountain.org/ and in Georgia, there's http://gayspiritvisions.org/ All of these host gatherings, retreats and workshops throughout the year around different themes. You might explore their calendars for something that would interest you.

I think I've always had Propofol over five or six go-rounds. I've found it very "clean" in that I wake up ready to fart and go eat, no groggy aftermath. They call it "twilight sleep" for a reason, I've been awake or woke up during the procedure a few times. No problem for me although YMMV I guess, the show on the telly can be interesting. As with some other things, ahem, it's the entry that's a little rough, once you get going it's no biggie. The air they use to inflate the colon causes gas pain, but that's hardly unfamiliar to most of us. As others have said, it's the prep that's annoying, the procedure itself is nothing, and well worth it for peace of mind. Colon cancer is among the most curable of cancers, and yet continues to be a leading cause of death for want of early detection.

Woulda shoulda coulda gets none of us anywhere. Be in the now and create the life you want for yourself, starting today. Make an inventory of your abilities and interesting things about you that others might share, drawing them to you. Are you a good cook, avid reader, green-thumb gardener, Star Trek nut, etc.? Emphasize the plusses, not on your (perceived) minuses. Focus on meeting and learning to socialize with gay/bi men, without loading it with expectations of sex or romance, at least at first. Volunteer at a gay organization, join a gay book club, etc. Depends of course on where you live, may not be readily available if not in a big city, but the internet is your friend. Finally, and maybe it's a cliche, but this is a big period of transition in your life. If not already doing so, find a gay-affirming therapist to help you unpack all this stuff. There are a thousand details that strangers on a chat board can't possibly process. Geography is not an impediment, since lockdown many therapists have remained available via Zoom etc. Contact a big-city LGBT+ org for help or referrals. Good luck to you, and congratulations on your new journey!

Allen Silver recently published a memoir that gives a lot of information on his journey to a career as a sex worker (among other things), in his case at a somewhat mature age. A Man of Use

There are several different weekly parties that meet at Paddles, on 38th Street, and in Park Slope. This is one of them. https://www.bearpartynyc.com/

I never was a drug person, way to cautious. However, these young people thought they were doing coke on a vacation romp, something their parents and even grandparents may have done to "party" when they were young. That doesn't indicate any kind of drug dependency or "problem," it's kids being kids. The fentanyl is what they didn't know about, or count on. It's the state of affairs with "street drugs" in the US right now. I don't know the solution, but I don't think pathologizing users that are casual at most is really useful.

Natural, definitely. But then I'm an ursaphile, so it follows. Trimming is ok, but no interest at all in shaven bodies. There's nothing worse that an even moderately hairy man with a completely bald crotch. Blech.

OMG thank you for this RH, ripe pits are my poppers

I keep 2X20mg tadalifil (Cialis) dissolved in 8 oz of apple juice in the refrigerator. Take 1oz (5mg) per day. The multi-day effect of Cialis means I'm always good to go. I've never had problems with side effects. Everybody is different of course, but works for me. With insurance, tadalafil 18X20mg costs me $5 every three months.

Anyone using the internet (porn sites or not) needs to have a robust anti-virus program running on their computer. A quick google of "antivirus software" will bring up a number of possibilities at various costs (including free ones) as well as review sites comparing them.

I'm not a doctor, but I would urge anyone taking the very large doses of oral vasodilators being discussed here (both Cialis and Viagra are in the same class and have the same physical effects, albeit with different timing) to have a convo with a physican, preferably a urologist, about options. For one, there may be other things going on medically that should be addressed. Plus there may be a better approach to the problem, such as Trimix or other injectables (the erection vitamin of choice of OnlyFans creators everywhere).

I think a factor in this shift is the sexualization over the past few decades of male bodies in the general culture (not just gay men). Before, say, the eighties, women were judged on their bodies while men were just there. Look at the "matinee idols" and other Adonises prior to that, the focus was all in the face while the body was typically lean but undeveloped. Bodybuilding was seen as vaguely suspect. That changed as mainstream culture became more and more sexualized, porn easily and widely available, and growing awareness by men that they were being judged in the same way they judged women. Our fathers and grandfathers didn't give much thought to their bellies, flat asses and average dicks. Men today, especially younger men, are acutely aware of their (perceived) shortcomings in the way women have always been conscious of their breasts, hips, waist and legs.

One wonders what kind of "party" included these sketchy characters with long rap sheets on the guest list.

Did you try emailing the site? Some time back, I had a similar issue in that I waited a good 6 weeks with nothing. The tracking showed it stalled at the point of departure in France. I got a prompt response, the package arrived a week later, and they put something free in my account for next time. I think the international shipment delays really are beyond their control, and between Covid disruptions and holiday shipping volumes, it's not surprising that things are stalled. Frustrating, I know, but I think your merch will arrive in time.

The people of Switzerland only. They are very different, politically and culturally, and a referendum in Switzerland does not reflect "the people" of anywhere else, whatever the results of the referendum.

Actually, excellent advice on all social media, which thrives on, and is exploited for, its ability create conflict

I found this interesting, a succinct description of the anti-vax lunacy engendered by hostile actors on electronic and social media (and yes, I realize it makes me something of a conspiracy theorist myself, but I do believe this is largely driven by forces seeking to undermine the stability of Western democracies. And it's working brilliantly!). As these things go, there is an acronym, CONSPIR Contradictory Overriding suspicion Nefarious Intent Something Must Be Wrong Persecuted Victim Immune to Evidence Re-interpreting Randomness You can download a PDF to hand out at Thanksgiving to all your anti-vaxer relations.
