Gross!!! And wouldn't said 'necklace' be on the 'lily ' then? Shayden????

I won't dispute that the writing isn't Tolstoy. But I do disagree that the two leads are embarrassingly bad. Again I'll concede that neither is Larry Olivier. But for example Connor Storie's reveal of his feelings in episode 5-even in Russian was quite emotional. Also my grandfather was Russian-well Belarusian-he's been gone since 1980-so it's difficult to remember now. But I think he sounded somewhat similar to Connor with Connor's character not having the advantage my grandfather had of being accustomed to speaking English for over 50 years. And take Hudson Williams-I've read some of Shane's character bio online. And while they've probably toned it down a great bit for TV, he's doing a great job of showing how regimented Shane's life is. And how afraid he is of his feelings causing it all to come crashing down. I think they are both hot-although I found Hudson's instagram. There were some photos of him wearing jewelry and smoking. I'm one of those weird guys who doesn't like the appearance of most jewelry on men-and even some on women. It decreased my level of attraction to him. I'm glad he isn't looking like that in the series.

Apparently it's been greenlit for a second season. Connor Storrie Reflects on Shirtless Audition and On-Screen Queer Intimacy | EDGE United States WWW.EDGEMEDIANETWORK.COM The hockey romance series “Heated Rivalry,” adapted from Rachel Reid’s popular novels, is building...

This made me start to think back to how long I've been contributing here. I have a vague memory of reading The Review Site and most likely the Message Center with a very jaundiced view. Don't get upset. That wasn't a moral judgement by any means. I used a computer monitor that was on the way to going out for years before I had to replace it. And the screen had a strong yellow tinge going on. So that would have been around 1998-27 years ago. I honestly can't remember how I first came across the Review Site or the Atkol Forums. Was the Message Center-or I believe as it was called then-The Forum-started at around the same time as the Review Site, or were they separated by a significant amount of time? But back to the question posed in the title of this thread-I'm going to be in big trouble if they investigate my phone. I have two hidden vaults (although one is basically a copy of the other), and there's no way to lock the pictures I've sent on some websites like Adam4Adam or on some apps like Scruff other than just the general code you have to put in to unlock the phone. I hope my family will be charitable if they are the ones unlocking the phone.

I'm trying to remember how long I've been a member- whether or not I started before I stopped hiring. Well, I tried to remember. And I can't. In any case I don't look at a lot of porn. My $9 a month lets me see some of the locked photos and videos. So I'll keep it.

I'm not sure whether I should place this here or in The Lounge, but here goes... I was looking at Rent.Men without being logged in-just by accident. There were some locked pictures which it said I could have access to all locked photos for a $19 dollar membership. I am a paid member. But I only pay $9+ per month. Did I miss a notice? Is the membership going up in price soon?

From the UK series Coupling. Jeff is explaining to Susan that he (Jeff) and Susan's boyfriend Steve are porn buddies.

I have some more questions about the series. 'Everyone' is talking about the groundbreaking sex scenes. And I have to admit to not going back and comparing- but I'm hoping someone else is more familiar- but are these scenes really more groundbreaking/revealing than what the American Queer As Folk did back in 2000? I probably need to go back and re-watch QAF. It came on while I was still a virgin and mostly thinking I'd never have sex ever. I do remember the first episode somewhat. Brian takes Justin's virginity. I don't think they showed much. But they turned up the sound on the scene really loud. I actually-now remember I was a total virgin and scared of sex -esp bottoming (come to the think of it, my feelings about bottoming haven't changed a lot in the ensuing 25 years)-but it made a bit nauseous. And I had to turn the TV off. It took me a while to get back into the series. Another thing I'd like to know is if Shane has ever made love successfully with a woman. And as a final thought -I really like the character of Rose. She seems like a really nice person.

I have a question about Episode 5. It's a minor point but Spoiler Alert for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Earlier in the episode Shane was hit by a Boston player named Marleau. But later on at the end of the episode during the New York Admiral's game, the on-air announcer refers to a New York player named Marleau. I wondering if it's supposed to be the same Marleau-do trades happen during the season? Or it could be a different Marleau. Or maybe it's just a mistake?

From The Onion: Hockey Players Blast ‘Heated Rivalry’ For Unrealistic Depiction Of Anal Sex ‘When We Fuck Each Other, That’s Not How It Goes Down,’ Say NHL Athletes Published: December 19, 2025 TORONTO—Accusing the HBO drama of egregiously misrepresenting their experiences off the ice, the National Hockey League Players’ Association blasted Heated RivalryFriday for what it described as incredibly unrealistic depictions of anal sex between players. “The show’s portrayals of hockey players having sex with each other are wildly misinformed, and we are disappointed by the producers’ utter failure to accurately represent what we do to each other behind locker room doors on a daily basis,” read a statement cosigned by each of the NHLPA’s more than 750 active players, adding that the series’ glitzy, overwrought lovemaking scenes miss the mark on even the most basic details regarding the day-in, day-out sexual encounters that define their lives between games. “Yes, it’s true that we as professional hockey players spend the majority of our free time cramming our cocks into each other’s hot, hungry assholes—the show gets that right. But beyond that, every instance of anal sex you see on screen is pure fiction. It’s clear they didn’t bother consulting any actual hockey players, as the butt-fucking on the show could not be further from what really occurs.” The statement went on to say that while the show’s anal sex scenes are “ludicrous,” its depictions of oral sex between hockey players are pretty much spot-on.

I don't know. It's not my favorite. But since I've occasionally met some youngish guys (or even some older 'sub-ish' type guys)-it seems to be what they want-"a daddy"- I'll go with it. The more I hear it, the more I'm adjusting to it. I may prefer "Sir," but I'm not sure. However in regards to you @PhileasFogg, you pretty much answered your own question. You have the great fortune, at least I hope it is for you, to be an actual father. Obviously the term "Daddy" means something special to you. And you explained why you don't like it. It's possible you wouldn't like the term even without your familial situation. But in your case you've already explained that being an actual Dad is the reason you don't like being called "Daddy."

I think this is pretty harsh-actually there's nothing pretty about it. It's just harsh. And I have to totally disagree-especially about the me being weird for not liking to rim and for originating the thread in the first place. And for the record I have no plans now or in the foreseeable future to force myself to rim (or to bottom for that matter). Jacob Marley was often heard to remark that "Mankind should have been his business," obviously meaning that we should try to have some charity in our heart for others. Or to put it in slightly more current idiom, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then ...," well we all know how it ends. @Manhattan please cut yourself some slack for needing to reply. Just as we ought hold some leniency in our heart for others, especially at this hectic time of year we ought to remember to keep a bit of that leniency for ourselves. In closing may I add Chag Sameach to my fellow Message Center-ers. I'm a little late in saying it in this year of 5786. But better late than never. May we all be in Yerushalyim next year.

I've just finished watching it. I might have more to say after a larger number of people see it. But my first impression is as follows... PS: One additional thought/question-isn't it funny that François Arnaud is getting top billing when he has a much lesser screen time than the two younger leads?

I don't get it. Oh and Mr. Why-Don't-You-Rim texted me this morning to say he liked our meeting last night. I texted 5 minutes later. He didn't respond. I texted around 1:30 PM and didn't hear from him. And then texted about 7:30 PM and didn't hear from him. It's very strange because he says he likes me. And while he is supposedly busy at work, he has time to check Growlr. But doesn't text me. It just confirms my view that men are scum.

I've never tried it. And still don't like it. Oh by the way I saw Mr. Why-Don't-You-Rim last night. It was unexpected. I didn't know we were meeting until about 20 minutes before. We kissed, stroked, and had some Clintonian Sex. It was nice. I hadn't seen him for several weeks because he lives out of town.

Hoping you are able to meet him. Aside from piercings, he's just my type. Assuming he's a nice guy, I would have been a regular visitor of his if he had been advertising back in my Tacoma days in 2010.

Well you are right. But as I'm not that attractive -they might as well all be TV fantasies as far as I can prove. On the other hand lightning may occasionally strike even for me. I may have related this before-almost 15 years ago I used to frequent a Starbucks in the Uptown area of Dallas. It was the spot I'd use for coffee dates from guys I was meeting from the apps. There was a very cute, young barista there. He was probably about 22 with me being about 47 at the time. I never flirted with him or anything. I might have had a wistful thought wishing he were gay. Well about a month or two after that, I was at the TBRU (Texas Bear Round Up). It's a yearly bear convention in Dallas. I had gotten there late one night, and had missed the underwear fashion show. But whom should I see outside the ballroom where the fashion show had taken place, but my favorite barista drunk as a skunk (only way he could force himself to compete) in a pair of tighty whities. We talked for a bit, but then his boyfriend came to collect him. A few weeks later I was back at Starbucks. My cute barista didn't remember me because he had been drunk. I reintroduced myself, and we became -well it's hard to describe. We would go out to eat or to a club semi-frequently. I moved away after 9 months. But on my infrequent trips, we'd have an occasional fling. The flings ended because around the time I was moving back to Dallas, he met some online Daddy's. They hit it off, and he moved to their state. They became a throuple

I'm not usually into multiples. But I once hired Andrew Justice for a weekend. As he was versatile, he bottomed for me. But even if you had never seen any of his porn, you could tell just by looking at him, that Andrew was an incredible top. I thought it was a shame that Andrew wouldn't be able to do that with me. So I hired a 'minor' porn star Justin Taylor one night for a few hours to observe what it looked like for people who were good at sex to have sex. Justin was happy to bottom for Andrew and literally almost threw himself onto Andrew's tallywacker. Andrew pounded him like a piledriver. It was definitely two people who were better at sex than I would ever be. But at one point Justin developed some minor bleeding. They both said, "It happens." Justin then grabbed some toilet paper, wiped himself, the bleeding stopped, and he threw himself back onto Andrew.

Provocative but not alluring? I'm intrigued.

Is it just me, or does he look overly lordotic and should see a surgeon?

I met him once about 25 years ago. It was at the Joseph Beth Bookstore in Cincinnati for the book signing of his (at the time) new book "Skipping To Gomorrah." I think it was partially written as a response to something Bill Bennett the former Sec of Education had written or said. I spoke with him a bit at the bookstore. Later that evening he was going to be eating at the (now long closed) Hamburger Mary's in downtown Cincinnati, and I went to see him there too. It was either right before or right after my 1st meeting with an escort-and my first sexual experience. I can't really remember what I wanted to talk to him about. It might have been about not wanting to be gay and being closeted. I do remember not being able to express what I wanted to say. There's a good chance I didn't know exactly what I wanted to say-or what I wanted from him.

I didn't totally understand this. Did you mean that if you wanted an escort to use a 'female' condom, they might react like men often do to the thought of wearing a 'normal' condom?

There's no way to be totally safe anytime you have sex unless you're in a monogamous relationship with someone who is totally negative for any STDs. It's kind of a risk you have to take if you have sex with anyone not just escorts. There are things you can do to decrease the risk of disease -note this is not comprehensive 1) Wear a condom -if a bottom, try one of those female condoms 2) Don't Rim either passive or active 3) Don't French kiss 4) PrEP and DoxyPrEP 5) Get checked every three months or so by a knowledgeable doctor
