BFE and jealousy about other clients
+ SirBillybob replied to Mark_fl's topic in Questions About Hiring
At least in those cases, not rare for me, I don’t have to pursue either BFE or GFE. I would do poorly on my side of either of those dynamics. Arousal, orgasm, peace out it is. -
BFE and jealousy about other clients
+ SirBillybob replied to Mark_fl's topic in Questions About Hiring
If it’s already framed as human nature, normative, for the idea of various levels of others’ attachments to influence our subjective sense of relative worth or personal mojo, or alternatively have no bearing on the dynamics of transactional intimacy, what’s the point of a type of survey about it? Day to day pedestrian interactional affect and a categorizing of some relatability to jealousy versus none at all is the most likely thread yield. The topic is interesting to the degree that somebody chimes in with a description of being monstrously jealous, of being delusional about expectations to feel uniquely special. Anyone … ? No judgement on this board. -
I, too, read both of Kelly Grant’s related prostate screening articles this year, as well as Dr Wilkinson's editorial and valiantly plowed through the extremely detailed epidemiology Wilkinson’s team published in oncology. It’s exhausting because it’s decades of data stratified by multiple age groups, cancer stages, survival, and mortality along with temporal sequences of cancer intervention stages. By the way, all the data are confounded by about 50% of men above age 50 with “opportunistic” uptake of PSA screening in spite of no recommendation for it. A lot of cancer is detected through routine PSA screening that transcends recommendations against such screening. Therefore, pro-con screening guideline alterations over decades' span are not a great independent variable for predicting clinical outcomes when half of men are behaviourally contrarian along with physicians erring on caution's side against a simple reductionist argument that too few deaths are prevented by too vast a number needed to screen per averted mortality. The actual testing data are not integrated into cancer surveillance registries and the dissonance between formal testing guidelines and testing reality at various points in time is unknown. The ratio of stage 4 cancer diagnosed due to non-screening that results in insidious under-radar progression and due to screening that colours outside the guidelines is unclear. An abrupt shift in the sands regarding guidelines was never going to eliminate pro-screening trends that existed previously. Like most journalists, Grant aims to get views from those with clinical expertise that often contradict, or present both sides of a topic. While there seems to be merit in reviewing and revising screening guidelines, one of the main areas of pushback against expanding PSA screening, following its systematic reduction within health protection recommendations some time ago, is cases wherein an elevated PSA is followed by radical intervention, leapfrogging over post-PSA intermediate steps. Naturally, removal of one’s prostate based on a PSA level alone will reduce or eliminate prostate cancer risk irrespective of whether cancer would have occurred. What is unclear about your prostate screening and intervention history is whether there were other diagnostic measures taken prior to prostatectomy. I am not referring to family history or the comparator of a male sibling. Those are not diagnostic but may reinforce a past surgical decision. Clinicians pushing back against certain revision recommendations are not attempting to undermine patient autonomy. Rather, a desire to circumvent unnecessary more extreme interventions that lead to poor outcomes outside of the binary of any grade of cancer or no cancer. If you had no diagnostic assessment between PSA and surgery yet you are fine with it, that acceptance does not alleviate the concerns posed about unnecessarily aggressive and invasive measures by clinician subsets wishing to constrain and temper screening revisions in spite of the morbidity and mortality tracking that currently steers recommendations for screening revision. Your personal anecdote is more meaningful and supportive of current screening revisions if your personal case details included inarguable evidence of true malignancy, not merely theoretically forecasted aggressive cancer. Anybody can put forward an anecdote. My elevated PSA levels commenced over a decade ago. I have, nevertheless, had no biopsy done. Biopsy can miss cancer so once you scale up diagnostic screening at that degree you risk repeated screening at invasive levels, potentially submitting to a regularity of biopsies that begins to mirror the frequency of PSA levels over time when younger. My prostate/ bladder MRI roughly bi-annually for 10 years, out of pocket cost, stable PI-RADS score of 2 on 1-5 scale. PSA screening did nothing for me but impel regular imaging that assuages concerns based on PSA interpretation. My cancer outcome is the same as preventive, but possibly premature, prostatectomy yet intact prostate and avoidance of pelvic nerve plexus trauma. I am happy to be alive with a non-cancerous prostate. There’s that. No point begrudging anyone a choice either way if the goal is no chance of site anatomically specific cancer that may or may not contribute to all-cause mortality for the individual. Postponing death that might have occurred and maintaining prostate gland function whose loss might have been averted are two values-specific factors hanging in the balance. My case supports revisions in PSA screening accompanied by far more expensive and difficult to access diagnostic procedures, short of tissue pathology, or inclusive of needle biopsy. It cannot easily fly within a public coffers funding model. My case also supports historically zero screening, for me, and for others never screened yet not having been affected by non-testing. The fly in the ointment is that in this clinical domain you can’t eliminate the risk of the associated medically iatrogenic by scaling up disease detection. Hence, tension between clinical opinion factions, attempting to reconcile the pros and cons of screening with morbidity and mortality data pit against do-no-harm concepts anchored in the true existence of needless invasive diagnostic and surgical harm. It’s difficult to portend the outcome of expanded PSA screening access on the future direction of morbidity and mortality because it would be egregious to withhold the costly components of a far more sophisticated diagnostic decision tree these days compared to a time when radical prostatectomy was more the default … getting that thing out instead of waiting for its eventual short- or long-term status.

Interesting read on overlooked single senior male social isolation. I hope I circumvented the paywall for readers here; apparently I can share a few articles based on my subscription. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/d24329df22effd948451188cd4a53720da09a01320d2d0c6ab7108defc139af0/7CQMOFQXKVHQ3H57LDSUOPHHF4

With Wagner Moura in title role. Sold out weeks ahead in my city’s annual Brazilian film fest in November so I missed it. But opens now in general release select theatres including my city to which I return imminently following international travel.

I know one that actually played varsity football. Strips in a club and advertises as well. Others that work in curated settings but don’t use ad platforms. But these variables transcend ethnicity.

Mileroticos is highly disorganized and repeats ads by latest dates or same guy different ad with same number. A tip: scroll through and redden the heart outline with a click for each one whose single profile photo catches your eye. Then just go through the red-hearted list you created by clicking the red-outlined white heart at the very top of the platform page that will pull up your highlighted choices as a shortlist. Consolidates duplicates and avoids endless back and forth between a single profile view and the thumbnail list. I also Google the phone number of a prospect for red flags such as same number different profile. -

Why Are More Older Men Getting Throat Cancer?
+ SirBillybob replied to + sync's topic in Men's Health
Right, effectiveness and immunogenicity bridging assumptions are applicable without knowing what risk-tier subtype infections have already left the station. In fact, the lower bounds of confidence intervals even for youth in some studies represent surprisingly poor outcomes. Nevertheless I took Gardasil at out-of-pocket cost past age 65; one can live several additional decades and, perhaps more importantly, augment protectionism with respect to intimacy with unvaccinated young adults. Some degree, latency notwithstanding, of herd immunity contribution if not directly conferred absolute transmission prevention to individual partners. -

Not to undermine the well-intentioned purpose of the thread, but at first glance the heading inquiry appeared to be leading to ‘getting throat-banged’, which would be rather odd for this forum and its population share of boomers. 😏 -

YouTube user utilization, hence a surrogate marker for social media awareness etc, around the time frame of the scene, about 2010, was about 5% what it is today. So sue the evidently unplugged Mr Hollander. Product branding within that platform was just getting started. The scene was also meant to contrast the Canadian’s mother’s key managerial role playing somewhat against type in her son’s career, the father more a tag-along with values less oriented to undue pressuring his son, while the Russian player’s father a pushy taskmaster. -

But those faces look quite contorted, with gag-induced tears and extremely flushed complexion, not so representative of resting face.
