… for some reason I tried to add a final paragraph and the edit function crashed but I caught a screenshot:

Yes, we are born to learn to be able to recognize the familiar and predictable. The unfamiliar evokes involuntary mental reaction and that is adaptive in many cases. Our central affective states are happy, sad, angry, anxious, surprise, revulsion. Note that the majority of affective adaptation exists in the more negative realm. I think I was more startled when first aware of intact foreskin. As well, surprised and curious when as a young child comparing my genitalia to that of my sister plunked into the same bathwater. Then surprised about her later menstruation onset. In your case perhaps it is harder to bury the lead: a kind of disoriented revulsion. First impressions tend to be strongly anchored. I will happily snack on dark dried raisins but I will never be persuaded to eat a slice of raisin pie, and I pick out and discard raisins from muffins and butter tarts. I guess I reacted poorly to the novel texture or I was nauseous for some unrelated reason. I have no problem with prunes or any other dried fruit in baking. We possess in common a seemingly irreversible and idiosyncratic revulsion not particularly amenable to alteration via more advanced cognitive processes. I’ll take mine, though, thank ye very much.

I think that to label male circumcision as “mutilation” is not outrageous because the ethical discourse surrounding it and female genital mutilation, though circumcision is obviously not monolithic, overlaps. The term need not undermine the concept of oppression of females since the physical result overrides personal autonomy and the beneficence of male circumcision is arguable. I think that to label genital intactness as “gross” is not valid because male, female, and intersex genital intactness is naturalistic and not behaviourally coarse or vulgar. It may be nonpreferred but if it evokes disgust that is contextually determined, assortative. Surely the total absence of male circumcision would never have induced revulsion.

Nicely put, S.S., and without unnecessary hubris.

Yes particularly if it’s capital, for that capital, you’d want the freedom to go downtown.

“I viewed your ad. Thank you for the information provided thus far. Now that you can see my client profile, what is the next step?” If it’s crickets, no acknowledgement whatsoever, I simply move on. If he responds he should be able to make a seamless transition from the ad info to content that was legitimately missing from the ad but necessary to proceed. The ball is always in his court.

Where the abbreviation RM is used are we to assume it’s RentMen within the Deli forum but RentMasseur within the Spa/Massage forum? What about here under Questions?

I hope the openings have legs.

Two ad photos; stolen from two different social media profiles. The Israeli is about 24, does not do porn. The ad is fake. English, Dutch, Russian. I wouldn’t be rushin’ into a booking even if I could go dutch with a few other suckers.

Yes, it’s RL, not the fellow whose face pic was entered above. The photo with Calvin Klein underwear was posted in early 2019. I suspect they are misappropriated photos. BTW, over 20% of total nations globally have a higher circumcision rate than Israel and non-circumcision is not a rarity among Israeli males.

Meta: Maybe I’m just not swift or my sensibility properly taylored enough to recognize I have ever met a troll here.

Surely there are things that don’t require validation via monetization. An escort or physician might express approval or simple commentary that you keep healthy and fit, or some other valued aspect, without a reference point that demeans anybody outside the exchange. The merit of positive reinforcement should be enough so that you aren’t yourself submitting an invoice in kind for the characteristic just affirmed.

Maybe coloured fingernails will grow on some of us. My sense is that an earring was at first incongruous with stereotypical masculinity and the rogue pirate analogy was invoked to neutralize any tone of femininity. Then which side ear to further stratify identification, that then seemingly neutralized. Yet earrings on a boardroom suit might not fly, or work well in certain job interviews. Values shaping place and time inevitably come into play. Tattoos on females may be considered less highly stylized and less overly faddish a look compared to when the trend began. Nose rings evoke bovine imagery for me. He’d have to be face down, however hot, for me to not feel going down the bestiality hole. Automatic pass on such an ad. Admittedly, rigid terms of personal taste. Rolling with tattoos in intimacy, not much choice. Eventually arousal paired with ink seems to neutralize misgivings. However, less is more and I don’t get the addition to infinity trend. It seems a desperate bid to stand apart but then ubiquitous enough to necessitate an additional level of distinction to a ridiculous level. And those stretched lobes? I mean where do you want me to insert it?🤢 As for painted shiny fingertips, when I said I like a polished look …

It’s impossible for me to see whether I have foreskin back there. SKYN episodically? Yes, consistently.

Actually, as the original poster I think that you can delete the entire thread going to the upper right hand corner (3 dots) at your topic beginning. Everybody’s deposits will woosh into the ether. Just a piece of info, not a suggestion. I could be wrong as maybe there is a temporal statute of limitation. Some members live for the ‘groundhog day’ of repetitive topics, grouse about it, create or regenerate disagreement, etc. Perhaps even consolidate position by revisiting it. Nobody, fresh or alumni status, is forced to attend class and be marked on participation every new semester of a commonly introduced seminar topic arising from our overall punting prospectus. As far as I can recall I don’t think I have weighed in on it. Although I hold a position, what is its relevance? What use is a list of yes no maybe it depends, particularly when peppered with insulting challenges lobbed at the topic initiator?

Isn’t the Pawtucket Brewery case before a rights tribunal?

I hope so, especially since the Fjord Probe was discontinued.

CRAVE/STARZ TV channel in Canada April 5th, or STARZ as Prime Video adjunct subscription. Looks like great fun.

There is enough speculation about an eventual possible new MPOX wave that early phase human trial mRNA vaccine candidates are underway. Or at the very least, prospective potential application in Africa, eg DRC. Moderna in UK locations. BioNTech (Pfizer’s CoV partner) in USA and UK locations.

Yes, saw it when released. Very good. You would also probably like a more recent series also based on a Sally Rooney novel, Conversations With Friends.

About 300-350 cases in USA were diagnosed so far in 2024. Approximately 10% of these are California and Florida, respectively. About 25% are NYC (separated out from NY state). There is little difference in the cumulative curve since it trended to flattening a year ago, following the incidence peak 18 months ago. Very small numbers at very slow steady increase the past year.

Gardasil9 for men that have sex with men (Canadian guidelines); 3 doses of .5 ml; months 0, 2, 6. Not covered for exposure-at-risk men age 27 and up. Probably about $600 CAD for the series.

… and sending out distress signals.

A close second.

I booked and met up with a creator in Brazil, his home. The one-hour donation for personally materializing his PPV script was only twice what he charges for any single PPV. The PPVs are usually collabs that can often be found more in full for free on a collab’s X or without upcharge on a collab’s OF page. Occasionally a session drifts into free vid domains, searching by actor name. Obviously these collabs are not legally drawn up. As an aside I’d be keen to see Brit Twunk in action with him. 😉
