    Like-with-like vaccination mixing affects infection breakthrough attack rates. Obviously, if vaccinated person A has 80% reduction in infection risk then the risk to vaccinated person B similarly possessing the benefit of 80% efficacy is less than if A is unvaccinated and had had zero risk reduction at point of A-B contact. Same with HIV PrEP, etc.

    Binged Ripley on Netflix yesterday and today. 8 episodes. Couldn’t stop, but nice way to wait out a nasty Spring snowstorm in front of the fireplace. Some Fargo-like elements added for humour, one in particular very funny.
    If you can get past Flynn at age 41 and Scott at age 47, though. Law and Damon were late 20’s. I don’t know how much Ripley ages thru Highsmith’s sequels. I do believe the plan is further adaptation.

    Just find somebody with a skilful sensitive tongue to tally an estimate of the number of rings accumulated at point of consistent nocturnal tumescence cessation and that reveals age.

    I had planned to attend on a Friday or Saturday out of curiosity but changed my mind, as the time difference makes being up that late more manageable, but not 05:00! They run four nights Thursday-Sunday, have been for several months.
    The ‘word on the street’ is that the events are barely attended from 23:00 for a few hours, even Friday and Saturday, and that customers begin to trickle in around 03:00 when bars close and they are choosing this over other clubs that serve until 06:00, and the DJ may commence around 05:00 as opposed to continuously from 23:00, so patterns attributable to partiers finishing up elsewhere and then moving on to this regularly occurring event. Things can get very busy as late as 07:00 and through the morning, perhaps as club-goers in places closing at 06:00 are not ready to head home. 
    If you prevail upon the courtesy of entrance booth staff you can be informed about the approximate number of attendees prior to committing, as per usual. Attendees optionally hook up in a conventional bathhouse manner.
    There seem to be some experiments in pricing time blocks and some offer an inclusive ticket (actually a #, perhaps same as locker) for a drink. The idea is to charge from 23:00 covering up to the final afternoon, or at times a separate charge from 05:00 on for those arriving really late, then the historical rates beginning afternoons. I think that if a customer wishes to stay for the afternoon and evening they would need to pay the historical day rate even if they had attended the previous party leading in.
    Otherwise, there is no interference between the two, and there is an agenda division according to the two categories of clientele, with historical afternoons/evenings business as usual. Simply put, the premises are put to more full-time use.

    Some of us reside in metriculated regions. Otherwise, unmitigated growth will yield a newly emerging STD, foot-in-mouth disease.

    Today’s Globe & Mail reports that 21 new cases of mpox have been reported in Toronto since the start of 2024 compared to only 27 in all of last year. Only 2 of these involved international travel. Again men who have sex with men are the ones contracting the disease. 
    Health officials said only 16 percent of those who got vaccinated in 2022 received a second dose. Two vaccinations 28 days apart was the recommended dosage. 
    There have been smaller outbreaks in Ottawa and New York but less so in Montreal. In 2022 Montreal was the Canadian epicentre of the disease. I got my 2 shots but will now start asking providers about their vax status once again, having stopped a year or so ago.

    It’s a loose guideline. Even if all true (not wilfully distorted) to the best of lister’s knowledge, the sole unequivocal “status” delineation is ‘positive’, unless you deem the not listed option as equivocal in terms of a binary: inquire further, or … accept a range of equivocal along with the one unequivocal and optionally inquire further.
    If you require absolute specificity upfront, go with the HIV poz provider. The more ambiguous the listing the greater the justification for cracking open a dyadic conversation. The alternative is to second-guess, depending on the context of activity, and be subject to overthinking and fretting about it. The drop-down menu MO is more to stimulate and encourage dialogue than to completely assuage health concerns at point of attention to ad. 
    You may be essentially paying to undertake a complex task. That’s the way the cookie crumbles. The outcome of the exercise further separates the wheat from the chaff.

    No worries. It is urban myth and the investigators themselves state that their findings need to be substantiated. I wouldn’t run out to invest in large-size condom manufacturing just yet.😉
    It is much easier and faster to dismiss these research findings as specious than to undertake the onerous task of a similar investigation.

    One specific mean length difference within the data set across the dozens of studies in the analysis is 11.1 cm (4.4 inches)!! The much higher value is situated within a later decade research project. This difference is equivalent to 5.9 standard deviations from the widely accepted global mean. 98% of adult men fall within 2 standard deviations. No sexologist or researcher with basic analytical skills would accept the legitimacy of such a vast difference. It is bullshit. Moreover, that particular computed difference is over 4 times the estimated temporal increase put forward by the investigators. There is something to be said for face validity and simple logic. Anybody with critical appraisal skills can see that this one methodological measurement flaw alone would skew results. 
    There have been other convincing criticisms of the study methods, including the effect of greater prevalence of pubic bone press penis length measurement technique in more recent times. That approach is associated with greater length values, up to almost the temporal length difference reported in this study. It was not mentioned as a relevant factor and not controlled for in multivariate analysis. 
    The investigators did not describe testing a null hypothesis of no difference. The most interesting finding would be a change that garnered attention; that bias ran through the article. What is also unknown is the breadth of manuscript peer review submissions and rejections prior to publication of a Stanford/Emory piece of work in the more obscure Korean educational entity journal. There are many high caliber periodicals within the field.

    Considering that improvements in nutrition have led to increased average body size in areas of the world where males were traditionally malnourished, it should not be surprising that the size of their penises has increased somewhat proportionally for the whole population. However, I think we all are aware from experience that it is hard to predict most individuals' cock sizes based just on their body size, nor predict their body size just from the cock protruding through the glory hole.
