My Mom turned 83 in December (sorry for telling on you, Mom). She almost never turns on her computer anymore. She has an iPhone 7 as well as an iPad MINI and sends out texts and emails with emojis. She also keeps up with family and friends on Facebook. And while I don’t think ever has ever posted anything to Instagram ( and I don’t really use IG, so I’m not sure how this works), but she’s alerted to the feeds of some family members so that she sees their pictures. Oh and did I mention she has a Roku, and uses it to watch Netflix on her TV? On the other hand I have an Uncle who is about to be 92 in August. He loves surfing the web on his iPad but refuses to get a smartphone. It’s like a badge of honor to him. He doesn’t even always carry his flip phone. The other day he was playing Skipbo at his lady friend’s apartment-and by the way that wasn’t a euphemism. She lives in the same retirement complex he does-same building. He didn’t take his phone with him. My cousins couldn’t reach him for several hours. They were quite worried. Gman

Using the GoodRx app I have just ordered at a Tom Thumb Pharmacy (= to Safeway, Randall’s and probably Albertson’s since Albertson’s owns them both now) ninety tablets for $35.24. These are 20 mg tablets. So assuming I take 5 at a time for the equivalent of 100 mg Viagra that’s 18 tablets at about $1.95 a tablet. Gman PS ;)I don’t work for GoodRx or Albertson’s.

It still must be a somewhat new rule or newly enforced old rule. I’m pretty sure I downloaded the Grindr app originally from the Apple App Store. Gman

It was on there for months and months. I don’t know why the filter would suddenly say it wasn’t allowed unless there had been a change in the filter. It obviously pained me, as you can imagine, not to use tallywacker, but I have a difficult enough time meeting people for .... I decided not to use any words that impacted the chance even further in a disfavorable way. There was that to consider too. Grindr is not exactly generous in their character space allowance. Gman

That was my thought too. I’m all for stopping trafficking. But this seems a bit... Gman

I met him once years ago. The memories are vague. I think the session was ok if not spectacular. Seems to me he was a smoker. Gman

While not really expecting it to usually lead to anything, I have a profile set up on Grindr. I hadn’t looked at it in over a month, but I opened it yesterday to update my profile since my move. When I went to save it, it wouldn’t let me because (embarrassingly I must admit to using) the word ‘cock’ in my profile:rolleyes:. But that’s not one of the words I changed. That’s been in my profile description for a long time. Gman

He’s got to be the most muscular twink in the world. Gman

In the ‘Children Say The Darndest Things’ genre, this article is hilarious. I tried to copy and paste. But it was too difficult due to the formatting. But do yourself a favor and read the article to see how children view things.

What does “One time went in back “ mean? Does it mean you had a private with him? Gman

My voice is on the higher side. Not quite so much lately, but over the course of my life I’ve been mistaken for female over the phone many a time. Gman

I’m glad he states his style is ‘Twink.’ I wouldn’t have known. Gman

If my vague memories of my discussions with him from 2005 or so are accurate, he’s probably over 50. Now mind you if his newer pictures are accurate he still looks great. But if anyone on here is an ageist, then they should know there’s a good chance the 45 is wildly inaccurate. He might even fit the parameters of Gman’s Harem-a special subset of escorts defined by the mathematical relationship whereby you take the stated age and add 7. Gman

Actually yes. I’m not saying PrEP isn’t a good thing. But nothing is fully good. The idea of PrEP leads to barebackimg being more accepted in all quarters whether you are on PrEP or not. Gman

So people have lamented on here the demise of street cruising to find an escort. Do we think cruising for escorts -was Ventura Blvd one of the places that used to be mentioned-will return? I have to admit-I don’t like car sex that much. Maybe I would if were younger and more limber. On the other hand I’d also be afraid of stings. So if I were still hiring and internet ads, and it sounds like even newspaper/magazine ads are going to be affected, went away, my hiring would probably have decreased dramatically due to fear. Gman

That’s a nice sentiment, Lance. But I’ll have to respectfully disagree. It was totally irresponsible to indiscriminately bareback once the cause of HIV and the mode of transmission was discovered. These people put themselves and all of us at risk. It’s much like the story of Typhoid Mary. She wouldn’t stop cooking even after being told she shouldn’t. She also wouldn’t wash her hands. From Wikipedia: Mallon was the first asymptomatic typhoid carrier to be identified by medical science, and there was no policy providing guidelines for handling the situation. Some difficulties surrounding her case stemmed from Mallon's vehement denial of her possible role, as she refused to acknowledge any connection between her working as a cook and the typhoid cases. Mallon maintained that she was perfectly healthy, had never had typhoid fever, and could not be the source. Public-health authorities determined that permanent quarantine was the only way to prevent Mallon from causing significant future typhoid outbreaks. Even now while PrEP may prevent most HIV infections, there’s increasingly drug resistant gonorrhea. There’s also the risk of syphilis and other STD’s. While I’m not saying the good of society should always (if you’ll pardon the expression) trump the will of the individual. On the other hand when public health/safety is at stake, there has to be more to life than our own individual desires. Gman

I don’t like to do it. But rimming definitely feels nice. On the other hand, what if the guy has a herpes infection. You could get something from his tongue or mouth. Plus if he’s rimming me, who else is he rimming and do I want that person’s butt germs ( secondhand)? Plus I really like kissing. Thinking about kissing someone after they’ve rimmed me does not set my heart afire. So I almost never ask to be rimmed. Gman

“ONLY” he says. What I wouldn’t give to be 2-1/2 inches longer!!! Gman:(

I thought the idea that most ED was psychologically based wasn’t true. That it’s more due to physiologic factors. Gman

It’s an interesting biological/developmental question. One could make a case-at least using pop psychology/looking at it as a layman as opposed to using scientific rigorous knowledge-that men in general should be inclined to be tops as that’s what biologically we are mostly designed to be. Of course then you get the question of where does homosexuality come from unless homosexuality somehow strengthened pack/tribal bonds or was a way of showing submission to a dominant male. Of course in that last scenario the basis of bottoming isn’t difficult to figure out. Gman

For the classics lover in all of us!! Gman

While not being stupid, there are some predictabilities. For non-professionals-well let’s just say that I have no intention of bottoming at this time, and that most likely will be my intention forever. I’ve often that about what might happen if I were no longer able to top. And at least thinking in the abstract future , I still don’t think I want to bottom. So I should probably let people know that I don’t want to be cajoled into trying it. As for the pros, it might cut down slightly on the number of contacts that are never going to lead to a meeting. Maybe. Gman

He must be a grower as he doesn’t really look to be 8-1/2 inches in those pictures. He’s cute though. Gman
