Another disappointment for Philadelphians--first the World Series, and now the SuperBowl. Sigh...

The Gay Militants by Donn Teal (Stein and Day, 1971) is still available on Amazon. It is a chronicle of the explosion of the gay liberation movement by a participant in the years around the Stonewall riot. [Full disclosure: Donn and I had a brief affair in the mid-1960s, when he was still a closeted high school teacher, and I was too far out of the closet for his comfort.]

He looks Russian, and the only language he lists other than English is Russian.

He says he is Slovak, but the only language he lists is English, and his photos seem to be taken all over the world. He looks more like a touring companion than a sexual provider.

Jonathan Katz, Gay American History, is a good place to start.

Is his BF Almond Joy?

The first time I met anyone from the MB was at a social get-together in NYC about twenty years ago, where I briefly met a few members, but most of them left the board years ago. When I decided to retire to Palm Springs in 2004, I asked if anyone here had advice to offer, and I immediately received private messages from Lucky and latlrnr that they were just preparing to move here, too! They quickly became my closest friends in Palm Springs; latlrnr died unexpectedly in 2008, but Lucky is still one of my closest friends and companions. Lucky and I inaugurated the Palm Springs Weekend in 2005, through which I met many other members, including Oliver, who is also a good friend. Through Lucky I also met cooper during a visit to NYC a number of years ago. I miss jackhammer, whom I also met through Lucky, and Epigonos, whom I met through Oliver. Unicorn and I have almost met a couple of times, but circumstances intervened, though I hope we will still meet. I have chatted with many members at the Palm Springs weekends over a couple dozen years, and hope to meet Pensant this year. Although Hooboy and I spoke occasionally, I never met him in person, but I met Guy Fawkes/Daddy/Bill several times. The oddest experience, however, was that lankypeters and I both posted on the site for a couple of years before something clicked, and we realized that we had worked together closely long before the site--or even the Internet--existed, but had lost contact thirty years earlier. When we got together again in NYC, we had a lot to talk about.

He looks much heavier in photo #1 than in most of the others. I wonder which is more current.

Then does "Boyfriend Experience" mean you get to experience his boyfriend?

Ain't that the truth!

The face is important if all I want to do is kiss, but I can overlook it if there are other things that interest me more.

That Mercedes is a lot older than he is (it probably belongs to his sugar daddy--or his grandpa).

'49 Buick.

The urethra is not supposed to be perforated; the piercing has been bungled if it is.

Sorry, I don't know either one of them😕

Although they appear to be twins, one part of their anatomy doesn't appear to be identical.

When I lived in New York City, my favorite travel destination for sex was San Francisco. Now I live in California, so if I still traveled for sex, my favorite destination would be New York.

Me, too.

The castrati were actually castrated as children, to keep their voices from changing as they matured. Castrating an adult male wouldn't turn him into a countertenor.

To clarify for Lucky, the character Cherubino is supposed to be a teenage boy.

Pics are really old. Of course, he's been on the RM site for 15 years.

The problem with countertenors is that many of them don't look like teenagers, so directors would rather cast a young woman in the role. I knew one countertenor who was 6'3" and 200 lbs, so he could only get booked in productions where the audience expected a man.

The first time I had sex with a man, I was shocked to discover that men actually inserted their cocks in one another's asses. I had always assumed that men had sex together by kissing while rubbing against one another. [OK, I was only 17, and had never had sex with anyone of either gender.] It took me awhile to get used to the anal thing, but I took to oral sex easily.

When we were both young, but only a casual acquaintance.
