LOL. I referenced Hitler. I didn’t compare Hitler to anyone. Nice try though…..

For you to be so “intellectually astute”, there may be some need for improvement in the area of general comprehension. 1.) I didn’t compare you to Adolf Hitler. I noted how your dogmatic, singular stance on science can be used and manipulated in various forms. Hitler was a proven example of that. 2.) I find your hipocrisy to be sophomoric at best. Calling my responses “silly”, and stating that I’m reacting “emotionally” are insults. So, take a view in the mirror before clenching your pearls because someone challenged your little carefully curated diatribe of “facts.” 3.) And no sir, you did more than make a personal recommendation. You made an understanding warranted, unsolicited recommendation, touting yourself as an “expert” because of statistical data your plastered in the comments. That’s reckless and dangerous to do. There are many people out here naive enough to fall for pompous posts from self-proclaimed intellectuals telling them what they should not do, not realizing or acknowledging other factors that contribute to such matters as disease transmission. What if someone on the forum takes your advice, doesn’t get the vaccine, then travels to a place where there’s a variant that’s on the rise and contracts it? There are too many unknowns for your to “matter of factly tell people not to get the vaccine, when the vaccine is one of the reasons why Monkeypox’s transmission rates are disappearing in the first place?

1.) Eugenics wasn’t considered “pseudoscience” during the time that it was implemented. There were people just like yourself, confirmed in their beliefs based on those “scientific facts” during that time. 2.) I don’t distrust science. I just don’t believe that science should be the ONLY factor to evaluate when making judgments, suggestions, or decisions. There’s deeper context to everything. 3.) You say that science is the best way to make rational decisions. My point to you is that human beings don’t make rational decisions, and the risks of any infection/health condition should consider that fact. It would have been “rational” for all gay men to go celibate in the 1980s, but they didn’t. It would be rational for heterosexual couples to use protection to avoid pregnancies, but many don’t. It would also have been rational for no “at risk” population to have sex during the peak of Monkeypox until they were vaccinated, but people still did. This is why making literal assertions based on statistics and facts doesn’t always work in real life, because the human factor will throw in anomalies every time. 4.) In terms of “preposterous personal attacks”, all I did was infer that you’re a little smug… lighten up.. you know you are…. and that’s okay…. 😎 I find you to actually be quite hilarious. Making your points using “facts” and “data” and assume that all should be “rational” and “logical” in all of their decisions, when we are on a site whose platform is centered on one of life’s most irrational and illogical entities: SEX.

Sir, I wasn’t reacting based on emotion. I was responding based on factoring in human behavior, the benefits of caution and actual variables that regularly change that can impact outcomes (which is a scientific process 😉). Also, I’d tread lightly when “confirming” beliefs, opinions decisions and ideas, simply based on “Data”, “statistics”, “research”, “findings”. For starters, all data can be skewed. Since you gave examples supporting your point (I find your “self-aggrandized intellectual superiority complex” vibe, quite cute actually), I’ll share some of mine: Sir Francis Galton, (known as the “Father of Eugenics”) used the same foundational scientific paradigms (statistics & data), to fuel false ideas on race & ethnicity, which fueled the idea of sterilizing those that aren’t “fit” to be a part of the human race, and laid a foundation of “scientific support” for genocide. Adolf Hitler later adopted these “scientific” ideologies as part of his propaganda to exterminate the Jews. Also, as we are on a forum filled with homosexuals, I find it quite ironic that in all of your omnipotent background in the history of science, you have totally forgotten that it was “science”, that confirmed all of us to be sexually deviant, mentally ill, and socially inept. That “science”, was used as a foundation in making homosexuality illegal in the United Stated of America. So while I’m humored at your smug response, assuming that I’m expressing my comments based on “emotion”, also acknowledge the fact that science is manipulated and controlled at the hands of humans who operate on that same emotion (and in the cases I noted, BIAS).

Why do you believe that just because data shows that something isn’t a risk, it’s wise to publicly recommend that people not get a vaccination? Statistics can show that during a period of time, highway crashes are down…. That doesn’t mean that anyone should recommend not wearing seatbelts. If there’s a mode of protection or prevention for anything, people should be encouraged to do it.

I’ve grown accustomed to wearing masks. whenever I’m in an inclosed environment, I wear my mask. The only inclosed place I don’t wear one is the gym. That’s because my gym had mandatory vaccination requirements, has a good air purification system, and it’s never crowded there. Also, the masks serve so many other good purposes. 1.) They definitely were helpful in lowering Flu Transmission rates. 2.) They’re good in cold weather for some light protection against the wind. 3.) Also helps with other public fumes, like vehicle emissions, inhaling paint and cleaning fumes (I thew on a mask when cleaning my oven last week) and not to mention (other people’s bad breath. For those who choose not to wear a mask, no judgment. I’m just always wondering why people who choose not to wear masks are so irritated and bothered by people who do.

Hey!!!! Glad to hear from you!! And glad to know that you’re staying safe as well. I have had a “massage dry spell” since May, and am still paranoid, although I’m Monkeypox vaxxed. No worries with the message as I love chatting with you and listing to your wise inhibits as well. Also, I truly understand you pausing the group exchanges. We will all be around, willing and able to get back on those tables, when the time is right. …..and one of those next times, YOU must get on the table, so we all can massage YOU!!! Be well, and enjoy this beautiful beginning of fall! 🍂🍁❤️

Hey!!! Glad to see you’re back posting!!! So who would be in the top of your list at this time for massage? I must ask, as you always have good insight.

As there’s no better way to prove your point than to be “living proof”…. I strongly suggest that you make sure to have some good, bareback sex with as many partners as possible (in a highly populated city, to increase the possibility of contracting the virus). Once you catch it, you can share more of an accurate take of what it’s like to have Monkeypox and go through the process of recovery.

Not an issue of luck. He must have had the time of his life before the symptoms arose.

That’s because the screening isn’t about health history, it’s about sexual activity. basically, gay sex workers and people with multiple sex partners are the priority. There are many people who don’t fall under these categories and many who don’t want to reveal such information that would go into a government database of info that could be leaked. Also, there’s a considerable amount of people who simply lied and checked “yes” to everything, just to get a quick appointment (no shame in that either). Personally, I don’t think that any of those questions should even be asked. Confirm you’re a DC resident and then get scheduled. Period. it cracks me up how government officials are claiming to avoid stigmas on the virus, but are steering a specified population (with a survey of questions used to draw skewed conclusions on that group’s sexual proclivities), to create “scientific data”, that will literally stigmatize them.

I’m in DC too and I think you should add that how one completes that ridiculous questionnaire determines how soon they’d get the vaccine. you must have checked “yes” to every box on that questionnaire.

There needs to be a discussion as to WHY it’s not an effective strategy. I have the answer: human beings have minimal control and major issues with discipline when it comes to sexual responsibility. They value carnal urges order common sense and social responsibility. and I’m not just slamming gays. I’m slamming straights too!!! THERE’s an entire aisle at every drug store dedicated to contraception, and they can’t prevent millions of unwanted pregnancies.

Yes, I’m judging your friend. Knowing he has an infection and carelessly fucking other people is reckless, disrespectful, and socially irresponsible. Although he obviously has no sense of shame, he should be ashamed of himself.

Hi All, I live in Washington DC, signed up for the vaccine a week ago and have heard nothing. if any of you on here are connected and can help me with a resource to get an appointment, please shoot me a private message. thanks!!!

Thanks!!! I hope to get mine this coming week ☺️👍🏾

I am working on making an appointment to get the vaccine and wanted to know if anyone has gotten the vaccine and if so, we’re there any reactions to it.

I’ve booked him at Least three times. He’s great.

He was visiting Washington DC during our text exchange. To be fair, he could have requested pics as a safety measure while traveling. He might not have this “policy”, when he’s in his home town.

I had great contact with him as well. We booked the appointment, and everything was set. Then he asked me for a picture. I politely cancelled.

Transgender women should have their own category to compete against other transgender women, but they should not compete with biologically-born women. They know they have an unfair advantage. And the advantage is that the foundation of their physiological makeup is male. to further prove my point, think about this… consider the fact that transmen (female to male transgenders), have not even once attempted to compete with naturally born men in any sport…

Oh.

So you were pleased with his massage?
