You KNOW you got fucked GOOD, when you can’t even type about it without your fingers going all crazy on you…..grin.

I believe the only "in the buff" men I saw were in the hot tub. Nonetheless, I don’t think anyone really cares whether or not you’ve got clothes on. I know the breakfast gentleman was clothed because I complimented him on his shirt. As I’ve said elsewhere, gentlemen learn to take a fucking compliment. I’m not going to bend you over and fuck out on the pool chase lounge in front of your vapid boyfriend (unless you beg)  just because you said "thank you." I’ve seen people being mugged on the NYC subway who looked less frightened for Christ’s sake. 
I would say the Hacienda clothes to naked ratio was 80:20. Unlike those 20:80 whores over at Inndulge…..grin 
 

Any attorney will tell you that "charged" and "sued" are a million miles away from "convicted". 
Verbal abuse in and of itself is not a crime. If the verbal abuse veers into threats of bodily harm, that’s another matter. But it’s a well established fact that merely calling someone a "f-ggot" is not a crime.

We don't talk about mayo unless it's Duke's

Yes!  And isn't it queer that the people who now benefit from the undesirable speech of the past which defended us, now want to be the first to tell others how to change their language?  Ironically strange indeed.

That's the point of free speech, it protects speech we hate as well as speech we love. 
 
Most of society used to think that homosexuality represented the underbelly of human nature. Fortunately, some people defended us.

The right to free speech and acts of physical violence are two completely separate things. They are often confused and it can easily lead to unfortunate outcomes. In the above scenario, you’d be spending a lot more time in jail and paying a much bigger penalty than the mouthy homophobe/racist. Not because of "systematic homophobia/racism in our justice system", but because you didn’t understand the basic difference between actions and words. 
In my world, you can say whatever you want. But touch me?…and you’re gonna get fucked up. 

Just stumbled on this one today. It’s a small study of Chinese gay men who are primarily tops, but if the numbers hold up it’s damn impressive. After one year, no one in the circumcision group got HIV while about 4% of the control group did.
Previous studies have shown about a 50% reduction in HIV transmission in heterosexual African males following circumcision. So I wouldn’t expect the "zero transmission" rate to hold up in larger studies, nonetheless it appears to have an effect. 

Circumcision for HIV Prevention
Gao Y et al. Ann Intern Med 2024 May 28
Among men who have sex with men in China, voluntary medical circumcision reduced risk for HIV infection.
The intervention was highly effective: No HIV seroconversions occurred among 124 men receiving circumcision at study entry, and 5 HIV seroconversions occurred among 123 men in the control group (P=0.025). No between-group differences in risk for other sexually transmitted infections (HSV-2, syphilis, and penile HPV) were noted.

When I lived in Hawai'i 'island fever' seemed to be a consistent concern, although few people I knew (mostly from CONUS) travelled far from their homes or workplaces on Oahu. The psychological impact of the perceived accessibility of desirable places 'elsewhere' should not be underestimated, and being able [relatively easily] to drive 'there' is valued. That said, it's not difficult to fly to somewhere else from either Las Vegas or Palm Springs.
To quote (or perhaps paraphrase) the late great Dame Edna Everage, 'Australia is so central, you can just pop on an aeroplane and in 24 hours you can be somewhere interesting.'

We decided to only skip and prance when we were safely out of public view. We also waited to have sex til we were in the hotel room. 

First you need to separate facts from opinions.
Facebook routinely filters out "inconvenient facts" as misinformation.
Allowng anyone to manage your information is historically, a dangerous game.

Ummmm…they’re related. 
It’s just not an absolute or 1:1 relation.
You need to do your homework and know what you’re buying. 
Most expensive things I’ve bought have been worth every penny…..because I did my homework.

Basing your entire business model on a "few bad apples", is an incredibly bad idea.
For the record, I’m not talking to @Jarrod_Uncut, whom I know will disagree and ignore my advice. I’m talking to @Tony_tx, for whom I have a great deal of sympathy. We’ve all been there. Chalk it up as a learning lesson. Think about ways you can avoid a similar situation, without harming your overall business plan.
