I wish more of these guys would mention if they are vaccinated in their ads.

It's not really a jacks group, but jacks is in their name. 

I one time worked a day on a film set and immediately recognized someone who was a very hot model who appeared in those gay-leaning workout magazines in the early 2000s. He had aged very well and had a very nice face.  I did not stare or talk to him, though. 

It brought my boyfriend and I closer. We only had each other. We were the only people in our bubbles, for the most part.

My friend and I have both had difficulties today.

I am anxiously awaiting updates. I would have loved to have gone, but I am not vaccinated yet.

For the record, I used a seedless orange.

@jjkrkwood I would love to hear more about the experience. Can't say I haven't thought of that myself.

I once tried an orange. I had read about it online at a particularly horned up moment. Didn't do I anything for me.

There needs to be Airbnb by the hour.

My S.O. will not give oral sex. Truthfully, I have not always enjoyed giving oral and have to be in the right mood to want to do it. When I do it, I don't like doing it for long. I get bored. And, I have only done it to completion on my S.O.

A wonderful colleague that I team teach with admitted today that First Date was among the worst shows he has seen on Broadway. (This in conjunction with one of our students who is working on a song from it, lol.) Anyone care to comment on that show? I never saw it, but I feel the score is ok, but not particularly outstanding.

I thought it was plenty of fun. Zachary Levi gave an amazing performance.

Ghost IS painful. Once is not really my thing, but I had a friend on the tour and I enjoyed her performance. I saw the older tour of Falsettos and the more recent revival on Broadway. My only complaint about the recent revival was the set - just seemed ugly to me.

 

I wasn't very familiar with Billy Elliot until the HD from London was shown in 2014, and I was really moved by the show. Then I wound up doing a regional production a few years later, and it was truly one of the highlights of my career (and that's not hyperbole). And I have to say, though I'm not a big fan of pre-recorded music in Broadway shows, I'm ultimately glad that the music for the Swan Lake "dream ballet" (where Billy dances with his "older self" and they fly in the air as a part of the sequence) was recorded so I didn't have to play or conduct, and just watch that dance every night. So magical and emotional. Our Billy later went on to win the Boston equivalent of the best actor Tony (the Elliot Norton Awards), beating out two very seasoned adult actors in other productions. ? I still miss that production.

Falsettos was just incomprehensible to me. It's like someone wrote a bunch of songs and knew nothing about telling a story. I know people lobe it because it deals with gay characters, but it was painful to sit through.

I remembered another one to add to my list, the tour revised version of The Last Ship. Another show written by people who clearly didn't know how to do what they were trying to do. So boring.

I have seen some doozy amateur and regional productions. As far as Broadway/tour, it would be a tie between Billy Elliott, Once, and Falsettos. All three were painful to sit through. Ghost was also horrendous, but I wasn't as bored as with these three.

I had a difficult relationship with my dad, and for many years, I thought that it made me gay. My father was severely depressed, lazy, and, to be honest, not too bright. The result was, I grew up thinking he hated me. After he got on anti-depressants (when I was 21), our relationship improved, though it fell apart again after my parents divorce (partially because of how my mom handled the divorce and partially because my dad used me to get money to buy things for his trashy new girlfriend . . . at a time in my life when I was very bad off financially). Our relationship never fully recovered after that.

After his trashy girlfriend used him for everything she could get, my dad came back into the picture. It took me a while before I would see him, and our relationship was never the same.

My dad was homophobic and would talk about "fags" and didn't believe in gay rights (marriage, military), but when my sister was convinced that I would come out, she prepped him for it, and he actually had the conversation with me in my thirties that it would be okay if I was gay. Soon after that, he'd make homophobic comments, but I always knew that he would support me being gay. I knew he would would have a hard time with it, but ultimately, he would say he just wanted me to be happy

My dad would always puff himself up because he was proud of his kids, and I knew it was partly because it made him look good. The day we learned my dad was going on hospice, I sat in the hospital talking to him. For the first time, he acknowledged in strong language that he was a bad father. I couldn't bring myself to contradict him, just to say, "Well, we all turned out okay." But through his admission, I was able to get over some of the pain of the past. Although I had forgiven him, I hadn't allowed myself to get close to him because I didn't want to be close and because I didn't want to get hurt again. He would later explain that he didn't spend as much time with me as he did my siblings only because he had more in common with them. That never bothered me, to be honest, because I spent so much of my life not wanting to spend too much time with him.

When he was on hospice, I made some huge sacrifices for him. When we ultimately had to move him into a nursing home, I was the one visiting him 4-6 times a week and grieving that I couldn't have him at home with me (he couldn't be left alone). For much of that time, my siblings, who were much closer to him, were pretty much MIA. I came to love my dad, not how I would have wanted to love my dad, but with compassion and genuine love and concern for him. I'm not totally sure why.

I didn't come out to myself until years after both my parents (and one of my siblings) passed. I loved my dad, but it's my mom for whom I still grieve daily.

That's funny, because I could swear that the crow's nest was flown in for the Boston leg of the tour. Perhaps there was a problem with rigging it in your venue. I could be wrong - but I seem to remember thinking I was glad they still had that set piece even when the rest of the Act I finale was all done on the stage floor.

 

And of course, we haven't yet mentioned the one part of the original design that even I found ridiculous (used on Broadway and kept for the tour) and that was the actual depiction of the ship hitting the iceberg, done with a tiny "model ship" way upstage (as if we're seeing it from far away, I guess?). It looked very odd compared to the rest of the show's design, and was rather unintentionally comical. I tend to wish that they had gone for something less "literal" - maybe some sort of lighting effect would have conveyed the moment more dramatically.

 

Another scene that was visually electrifying on Broadway was the end of the "lifeboat" sequence (The poignant and dramatic "We'll Meet Tomorrow") with the passengers desperately holding onto each other across the ship's rail in a last farewell just before some of them are lowered into the lifeboats. An absolutely chilling moment.

Well, that explains it. We had a bird's nest and you had a crow's nest! Seriously, though, perhaps the rigging didn't work out that day or that week.

I didn't mention that I have the cast recording and am always moved when I listen to it. I've read the book of the show (which was published and I own), and I love the show, despite the limitations I experienced on tour.

I saw a really bad community theater production years ago, with some of the parts cut (probably because they didn't have the actors for it). I would love to see another strong production of "Titanic" somewhere.

I think it is as remembered as other shows of its era. We live in a day and age where musicals are remembered mostly once they've had a movie adaptation. Perhaps it was always that way; we just have much fewer movie adaptations now.

I saw the show on your. Unfortunately, for my venue, the sound was poor, and you couldn't always make out what the basses and baritones were singing. I also echo the tour staging comment above. I remember being confused why there was a sailor standing at the edge of the stage. Looking at the souvenir program, I realized they had nixed the bird's nest/lookout.

New York City is perfect for solo travel. Lots to do and lots of shows to see (under normal circumstances) and you don't have to compromise! Road trips can also be fun.

I think Austin Peck's pecs were my first crush.

As I mentioned I usually go the waxing route, but how exactly does "sugaring" work? Does the clinician actually use the literal thing, i.e. sugar? What do they do? Thanks.

Here is a handy video about it:

There's a guy I chat with online who has taken Covid very seriously. He literally saw no one, even socially, during quarantine. He started to have sex with a few guys, quizzing them on mask-wearing, social isolation practices, and hand-washing. He asked if they worked alone or in groups. The only guy he kissed was one who had been tested.

When I drove across the country to visit family and then drove home, I had not cum in over 3 1/2 weeks. I took a play out of his book and began looking for someone in a small county on my way back, a county with very low Covid numbers. I found one guy who seemed perfect. He even had a farm where we could be outside, I could sit back, spread my legs, and get some relief. As I was about to seal the deal, I asked more about his work. He worked in a factory. I had to turn him down because he worked with large groups of people.

When I stopped for a quick drive-through lunch in one town, a greeting popped up on Scruff. I found a guy who was taking all the precautions and headed over to his garage. No kissing, I kept my mask on, and I was literally weak in the knees after shooting a big load. I regretted it afterwards, but all was fine.

I am not saying I recommend these steps, but that's what I did and how I came up with the plan.

Friday nights have been difficult for me lately. I wish we could stream the AMAs later on.

The show last night was great and lots of fun! Dio was my fav! His dick is a work of art and he full of fun energy. He came twice! I use to see him on Chaturbate but haven't seen him on in awhile.

 

Has anyone meet George in person? He was boring during the show. Wondering if this was just an off night or if he's like that in person.

I would definitely say it must have been an off night. George gives awesome lap dances and seems very popular.

He did an interview for the Talk About Gay Sex podcast. So charming.

@Coolwave35 Is this an invite we can use after the pandemic? ?

I know someone who worked on the show and despises her. I always thought it was because maybe she didn't feel Ellen represented her as a Lesbian. When I see her next, I will ask her. Truthfully, there are many celebrities who are not great people in person.
