Again. "That's just the way it is" Seriously? Everything changes all the times. Gay rights was just an obvious example of how things aren't just that way it is. Homophobia is challenged and beaten back. If the gay activists of the 70s and 80s had the attitude of "that's just the way it is" we'd be living in a much more limited world for gay men. And yes this is connected to physical attraction. The gay rights movement opened up gay men's lives to more fully explore the ways we bond with each other. Again being gay is about how we bond with other men, its not limited to physical attraction, that is one aspect of it, and it's debatable whether its the most important. Of course historically when a quick fuck in a public place was the most that a lot of closeted gay men could expect as far as expressing their gayness, physical attraction could get fetishized. We can unpack (pun intended) that fetishizing of the sexual aspect of our bonding.

I don't understand your post. Who said hormones are unimportant? Not me. I said we are more than hormones. Being gay is about bonding with other men (sex is one of many different ways that happens) its not limited to sex. You're coming across as reactive rather than curious about other thoughts/opinions.

"That's just the way it is" ... seriously? You can say that after the changes made by the gay rights movement. Things can/do change. "A great way to act (a social norm) on this is for older gay men to value (psychology) their contemporaries ... etc. "

Obviously. And we're so much more.

I was talking more about our psychology and social norms, I think you're talking about hormones.

a great way to act on this is for older gay men to value their contemporaries for their looks and stop chasing young kids and start chasing their contemporaries. I keep thinking to my self "its a gym, its' not a time machine." this is something I struggle with to be honest. I am interested in how younger men experience current sexuality - my historicism I suppose. Talking to Victor Powers totally interests me to hear about another person's experience, but no interest in fucking him (and Victor it isn't because you aren't hot ... it's me, not you ... haha.)

generally (not a rule just a tendency) women are more empathic and emotionally focussed than men. so straight men probably don't have as much judgement to deal with about their looks (viewed by women) as gay men do (viewed by other men).

He's even prettier up close

This looks like Woody. Great guy to be naked with

Uber was working last October in Montreal.

Commonwealth rumour is that all the political leaders got Trumped out

The rumour in the Commonwealth, is that they had a small wedding, with a limited invitation list (but still like 600) partly in order to explain not inviting Mr. Trump. Although our Prime Minister wasn't invited either.

"I look for FWB, I do look for escorts who aren't here to make me their "money daddy." That implies 'off the clock' escorts. Its unclear

I was asking a question, for clarification. Same question: are you looking for this for free? Or are you paying? It's kind of a yes or no question.

were you naked at this hotel ... oops ... outside voice

Are you looking for this for free? Or are you paying?

Go see his circus act if you get a chance. He's a great performer on the silks

The most talented dancer has been dropped off the main page

I hate this kind of sleazy "journalism." I wouldn't want my Manhunt ad (not that I have one) plastered all over the internet off the site - don't know why it's okay just because someone is a celebrity. Feels kind of shitty to be treating "a brother" this way

Garrett and I are getting a room later

Unrelated to Taboo but related to your ER visit. I remember going to the ER about 4 years ago and there was a Korea tourist in front of me that was paying for the visit. I remember at the time being completely shocked about someone paying money to be at the hospital. My experience in Canada, before this, was that the hospital was universally available, free of fees, as needed.

I was just curious is all. I've never used grindr. (And thank you for not getting defensive with an age related question.)

Question (not a comment). Have you been blocked by someone your own age?

Have you come across a site for mature guys looking for guys there own age? I've got a buddy that was asking me about this.

In the Easy Lover dance scene one thing I'd say ... underwear technology has advanced over the last 30 years.
