Becoming a partner to creating a few unplanned pregnancies.

Well cannonmc, that's you.

The site stresses the uploader anonymity point, so I'm pretty sure they might consider this to be an issue, as well.

Uploaders making a comment on any of their uploads (e.g., in replying to a comment), result in having their identities compromised.

Once the uploader enters a comment on their own uploaded torrent, it does appear on the torrent’s description page as a comment from “Uploader;” however, anyone having also made a comment on that torrent will receive a message stating a new comment has been made by “(member’s name)," and not “Uploader.”

Just out of curiosity…

What happens if, after you tell him, he says something like, "You know, that's funny...I was wondering how to go about mentioning something to you about the way you kiss."

My main "significant other" and I got together in 1982 when I was a senior at Cal, and he was a campus employee. He's 78, and I'm 56.

My other SO of over 20 years, I met when I was a temp. campus employee in the department where he worked. He's also 56.

Definitely not your "normal" relationship. I don't live with either one. They're similar in so many ways, but so completely different. More often than not, it seems like I have 2 more "moms," as they are (strangely) so much like her; but again, nothing at all alike. (However, it is kind of freaky that my mom's b-day is Jan. 1, my main's, 8 days later on the 9th, and my other's is 8 days after that, Jan. 17!)

I’m in my 50’s…

Physically able as I was, when I was in my 40’s,

Usually feel like I’m in my 30’s;

And, thanks to my partner of 34 years (22 years my senior), whom I met in my 20’s,

I live the hedonistic and pretty carefree life, comparable to when I was in my “’teens”–very few worries, all about the “now,” and disregard and little concern over what “tomorrow” may bring.

Of course, I know--as my partner occasionally points out--somewhere “down the line,” I will have to assume responsibility, to prepare for that time (and I hate even thinking about “it,” let alone discussing it), when he may not be around.

Anyway, I’m 56.

Double-pierced, left ear, with a couple of small diamond studs.

Pierced navel, with a gold captive bead ring.

Tattoo on my left “cheek.” (It’s about 25 years old, so it's a bit "dated," and not as crisp as it was originally; but it’s a happy, little red devil, with a gold halo over his head.)

God's not quite convinced they're worthy of passing through, and asks each to justify why it should be so.

Bill says, "I know I've sinned, in your eyes, but I truly believe I fulfilled my duties, and served my country well, in spite of it all."

"Very well," God says. "You shall sit at my left."

Then it's Barack's turn. "Overcoming personal adversity, I took office, cleaned the mess left by my predecessor, and helped the country recover, and move forward."

God says, "Barack, you shall sit at my right."

Then God looks Hillary in the eye, and asks, "Now Hillary, what have you to say?"

Without hesitation, she replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

(I heard this some time ago, but it was Al Gore, instead of Obama. I figured Obama's a little more timely. I also heard a good one around that same time, centering on, then President Bush, so it really doesn't have the same impact today; but it was funny back then.)

There's probably a fair chance that you, and those of your race, might all look "alike" to Asians (unless of course you, yourself, are Asian).

Bottom-line, when the aliens come to take over, they'll see us as all being the same–whether it be "humans," "earthlings," whatever; just as it should be.

Not a typical “Sex & Relationships” topic, but when it comes to my car…I love her!

She’s my baby, also known as “The Big Girl”–a clean, black, 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, I got in May, 2012.

Fitted with a set of Flowmaster “Super 44s,” she sounds as good as she looks!

With a new transmission, and “shift kit,” and a brand new, “in-crate” 350 being dropped in; she’s definitely going to be go, as well as “show!”

She wasn’t my first car, and she probably won’t be my last, but she’ll always be my favorite!

In response to SemenDemon and alligator…

One is able to "rate" a torrent 1-5 WITHOUT having downloaded it.

It may not be right, but the fact is that the system will accept the rating, regardless.

Re.: cannonmc reply #4…

"And if someone really needs some points to be able to enjoy the entire site, let them ask."

Fine. Yes, I agree...Let them ask, saying they need them, and I've no problem with that; but personally, I feel the statement "bonus points appreciated" is stating something redundant, and obvious, and does little in influencing someone to give points.

However, you seem to be missing what I'm getting it, which is to utilize some of the other options the site provides, in an effort to gain points, instead of asking.

Re.: cannonmc reply…

Okay...It may not be "begging," but I'm quite sure it is stating something that is pretty much obvious. I mean, do you know anyone who doesn't appreciate receiving bonus points?

If you masturbate; and like to fuck or suck, or being fucked or sucked…
I'm curious, and I'd like to get your thoughts.

As for me, I've done some selking, although not as easily or well as I'd like; but I have cum.

With the self-sucking, when I was a teenager (and more limber), I was able to do a little licking, but no sucking.

If I could, I'd definitely do both, and cum. With the sucking though, I'd cum, but probably wouldn't swallow. (The freak in me is pretty much immediately and totally gone,  once I've shot my load; so I'd probably gag.)

Well, that's me…a "bi" guy in his 50's.

Thanks for checking it out!

Uploaders…quit begging.

Obviously, points received are appreciated, and I feel that reference in the description does little in helping to gain these points. Only once, have I given points, based on an uploader mentioning it in the description; which noted…

“Probably not worth any bonus points but a thanks always gives a warm feeling.”

I smiled reading that, and gladly gave up some points.

Aside from letting your upload speak for itself, in your quest for these precious points, there are so many more points readily available from the site, which would easily exceed the amount gifted to you.

I too, value and appreciate the points I’ve been given for my uploads, but they only make up about a third of my point total. In the approximate year and a half I’ve been a member, I’ve been given close to 5,300 points. However, I’ve got over close to 14,800 from other sources!

I’d have to attribute much of that to being a prolific uploader, although I have no idea how many uploads the average uploader has made, so I could be just “average,” or maybe even below. Regardless, with 71 uploads, 64 of which are active, at least I think I’m pretty “prolific.”

Anyway, a good share ratio, coupled with the total number of your uploads, can give you plenty of opportunity to “score big.” In my case, I’m allowed 101 downloads a day. That translates to 202 points, in category vote points alone!

So, I say again…uploaders quit begging, and keep uploading.

(Just a little rant, and friendly advice, from a fellow member, and uploader.)

Upload it, and hope for the best.

I'm guessing that practically all of the member uploaded videos, produced by commercial studios, are copyright infringements. I think very few, if any, uploaders have sought, or been granted permission from the copyright holders, to upload the material to this site.

The frustration for me, is when one my uploads is removed for the infraction, but other offerings from that particular studio (sometimes the exact same video) on this site, remain untouched. One example that "stung" a bit, was when an upload of mine, that quickly made the number one spot, on the 30 "most popular" list, suddenly got yanked. At the time, it had over 224 seeders, 31 leechers, and had been snatched over 3,100 times, with no sign of letting up and relinquishing that top spot. It was removed, yet the many other uploaded offerings from that studio, to this site, were left alone.

So, upload it, but be prepared.

Good luck!

I’d like to be paid, just for being “me.”

The starting salary being more than sufficient to cover the expense of my current lifestyle; and increase over time, such that my needs will always be met…

After all, you did say “dream” job.

Re.: gaypraha2…

That's cool, and I totally understand that, and where you're coming from.

Ironically, I feel the same way...In doing my "witch hunt," looking into the background of some of my possible suspect uploads, I did find one, high on the 30 "most popular" list, that originates from an amateur's upload to another site, where he's trying to earn a little money from it; and I did feel for that guy, knowing his video has been downloaded thousands of times, and it's highly unlikely he got any bucks for it.

So, I do understand…and "right on" for you, "lookin' out" for a friend!

Re.: Reply #1 from cannonmc

(Sorry…this does go on, and ended up longer than expected. I guess I'm still venting.)

My questions are...

1. Why would a rep. contact this site to report only one video upload in violation, when there are many more offerings of that company's copyrighted material, throughout the site? Why not yank them all?

2. How would a rep. find this item, which has been renamed and given a title that is non-existent in their inventory? What brought this item to the rep.'s attention, to begin with?

Personally, I took some kind of pride in knowing I was uploading something that was put together nicely, and more importantly, an offering I felt members would like.

In the past, I was always just a downloader at websites (including this one when I first started checking it out). This is the first site I've ever uploaded to. I still find it kind of hard to believe, the number of uploads I've generated, in a little over a year's time, since becoming a member.

Well, there was a satisfaction I got with that first upload, knowing that folks around the world had an interest in something I posted. From that, came the desire to upload offerings in various categories, which I thought members would like.

Then I noticed the 30 "most popular" list, and making the list became my goal; and within a month, or so, I did. Up until today, I had 7-8 regularly on the list at the same time (even as many as 9), with 6 in the top 15, of which 4 are in the top 10, of which 2-3 were in the top 5, and 1, had been at number 1 almost continuously for over a month, until it suddenly got violated today...after having been snatched over 3000 times, it still had about 300 seeders, and 40 leechers; and it had only been up for 5-6 weeks! I couldn't see a slow down coming for that torrent for quite a while.

Yeah, it's an ego thing, but I did feel some pride knowing that such a high percentage of the most popular items, were things I uploaded.

Now, assuming this site represents a microcosm of the world as a whole; just as the world has people good and bad, selfish and generous, cheaters, and those who play fair, etc., the same can be said about the members of this site.

Which brings me to my point...you get someone who also takes pride in his uploads, and their popularity; and that’s how it should be. I mean, one would hope that nobody just uploads material, without any concern regarding content or quality. Anyway, this particular individual's competitive nature, comes with a "win at any cost" attitude...

There, with a torrent that's been at the top of the list for quite some time--he's pumped!

Suddenly, he's number 2, looking at a new number 1. His item is struggling to maintain leechers, and his snatch total is getting stagnate, while the figures of the new number 1 keep growing.

Instead of looking towards finding a "killer" upload to reclaim the top spot, he sulks and fumes as the gap between 1 and 2 widens; and being a "dirty player," looks for ways to just eliminate the competition.

If you don't think a member would be so "cut-throat" or petty, I would have to disagree...

Case, in point...I uploaded an offering that I found out to be, just the first 10 minutes of a 20+ minute video. The upload was really moving, and receiving positive feedback, so I edited the description, noting I would upload the second part, once I could find it.

Before I knew it, there was a comment on my upload, referring to a new upload of the complete video, which I assumed, was provided by the comment’s author.

The “ticky-tack” attitude welled-up in me, as I thought about all the interest in my torrent, being nullified and directed towards the new offering, via a comment on my upload.

His torrent took off, and there was nothing I could do to make mine, a more viable option. So, with a childish attitude, I deleted my torrent, to keep from facilitating the “rise” of his.

Next thing I know, he has renamed his torrent, giving it the title that I had come up with for my, now deleted, torrent. Wow…I didn’t see that one coming!

Even though he did nothing wrong and just took advantage of a situation made available, and beneficial to him, my immaturity didn’t allow me to see it that way. Whether or not, he was being “cut-throat,” I’m pretty sure, I was being “petty.”

So, it’s not hard for me to imagine, someone being even more so, than I had been.
