@vmalar The thumbnail maker will do those collages. There was another application (whose name I've forgotten) would also so collages and had tremendous flexibility, allowing one to select specific frames in the video to appear in the collage, the size of the thumbnails, etc....but it doesn't work under Windows 7 or later. (I don't know about the Mac environment.)

VLC Media Player also permits one to snap a specific frame out of a video at full size. If I'm posting a torrent, I like to use that to give an example of the quality of the video. Some older material isn't very crisp, and this way people can set their expectations accordingly.

@blablarg18 said in Pope Emeritus (aka former Pope) Benedict XVI dead @ 95:

Reality is a vast mosaic, none of us get to see it all.

Very true! I sometimes use the metaphor of people standing in a circle around an elephant--no one person gets the full concept.

I think it would help the discussion if there were some links or references, especially when an assertion like, "As a young theologian he [Ratzinger] was the key liberal voice at the Vatican." This is not the presumed narrative, so a link to something he wrote/published in that time frame would be very useful.

@Randevouz90 Welcome! And well-cum.

@valldelxeno said in When did you lose your virginity?:

@eobox91103 What's your body count then, if you've made up for it?
Personally I feel like mine is kind of low, I'm 28 and my body count is about 50...but almost all of that sex was compressed into a year. Can't wait to get back to that lifestyle...

When I was 28, my count was less than ten...due to both a late start and needing to study 26 hours/day in graduate school. When I hit 30 I thought I was "over the hill," but it was quite the opposite: I had more time for the gym, as well as my own place for "entertaining." I probably went ten years with one encounter per week. Do the math on that, and it's in the middle three digits.

I'm neither proud nor ashamed of that--it's just something that happened. I had a "visiting associate" post in a city with a very gay neighbourhood, and it wasn't unusual to bring a guy home that I met at the gym so we could finish what we started in the showers.

I can understand a feeling that one might have "lost time by coming out late," as I very much felt that way myself. (I do some volunteer work with a youth organisation, and there are kids coming out at 14--or earlier--these days.) But everyone is on their own timetable, and at the risk of sounding like a trite greeting card, everyone's schedule is exactly right for them. The current pandemic has put a damper on things, but I prefer to be cautious. I'm skeptical if some guy says that his dick is long enough that we could fuck even while distanced by two meters.

@vmalar Please re-read what I said, and I'll also try to simplify it for you: There's a big difference between a parent who circumcises a child without his consent, and that child who grows up to be a circumcised man.

I think the parent was wrong to enforce this upon the child. While this might fall under the category of child abuse, it cannot be compared to the holocaust.

But the guy who was circumcised is not wrong. He had nothing to do with the decision, and he has a right to enjoy his sex life--and his penis--to the fullest. Telling him that he is defective and mutilated serves no purpose.

@Alos:

how can i make a torrent that i have already uploaded before show up again as a new one??

If it's been deleted off the system, you can start over again and it will show up as new.

If it's still on here, it would have to be "promoted" by a moderator and it would show up with with new torrents with the recycle symbol in front of it.  I don't know how the moderators decide which old torrents to promote/recycle.  With nearly 150,000 torrents on the tracker, they can't do this for all of them.  Perhaps a moderator will shed some light here.

Hello guys,
We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site.

Jesus, John, you almost gave me a heart attack when I thought you were referring to this site!

There is a message here, though, that sites like this do cost money to operate. Gentle users might consider some additional contributions.

@Randevouz90 said in Returning Queen:

@eobox91103 Would you give me a hand getting back up?

Getting you up sounds fun...

didn't use the site for months and my download rights are now stripped! just like me no on the bed

I suggest contacting the help desk at https://www.gaytor.rent/helpdesk.php

@vortensen said in Can a bottom rape a top?:

Hi, I wonder if a power bottom can overwhelm a top resulting in a so-called bottom raping the top?

In theory, yes: Forcible* rape only requires that one of the parties involved does not consent to the act. The most likely scenario here would be if the top is impaired by alcohol or other drugs and is not capable of giving consent, but still has a dick hard enough to penetrate.

Also, I could envision two completely sober people,** with the top lying on his back and his cock completely hard (maybe right after blow job), and the bottom straddling him. If the bottom's hole is loose and lubed, s/he could quickly sit down on the top's cock without there having been any discussion/consent/expression of desire on the top's part. From a legal perspective this would be a difficult case to make, but it would still count as rape if the top didn't agree to have this happen.

*The comments above about "forcible" rape assume that both parties are at/above the local age of consent (and that age varies by country, and even by province/state in Canada/the US). If the top is below the age of consent, and the bottom is above the age of consent, then any intercourse would be considered statutory rape of the top by the bottom.

**This discussion also applies to a situation where the "bottom" is a female and takes the top's cock into her vagina or ass.

There's probably some rape-fantasy porn showing a situation like this, although I can't recall having seen any.

@blablarg18 If you want to call people liars, spread conspiracy theories, or espouse "alternative facts," there's another forum board for doing that.

@lololulu19 said in Why does "old porn" look old?:

My speculation is that someone has a 40 year old VHS tape in a drawer, that they convert into being a DVD.

Also, people from the 1980's would make copies of copies of copies of VHS tapes, and the quality would go down with each copying since it was an analog process done with machines of different characteristics. (Every video tape recorder--even from the same manufacturer--has slightly different head alignment and such. Tapes can look very good when played back on the machine that recorded them, but they lose quality when played/recorded on multiple machines.)

Some older American studios (e.g., Catalina) made "anniversary editions," and those can look decent. But material from Germany in the 1990's is often third or fourth (at least) hand since those studios were shut down for using underage models.

@raphjd The aforementioned Dropbox link is having problems--I think because the file is so large (by their standards). Please try https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8h7wgygr6r62ip6r4v1mc/No.Other.Land.2024.1080p.WEB-DL.H264.AAC-1.mp4?rlkey=ray30n3cburr4qn6wlco6qgiv&st=z59be0nd&dl=0 for a .mp4 version in 720p. Note that this one has hard-coded English subtitles, and is in .mp4 format...made so it can be digested by my less-than-smart TV.

@ianfontinell I wouldn't presume to speak for our brother Al, but until then, here's a famous American dick:

@bi4smooth said in Is it just me? WHO pulls out of a fine ass to cum on a dude's face?:

I don't get it... SO MUCH porn these days features this "ending"...

2 hot guys fucking - sometimes even flip-flopping - and at the last minute... when the top is about to cum... he pulls out, quickly re-positions himself, and shoots his load on the other guy's face... not even in his mouth, just "across his face"...

Porn directors like to show cum shots on screen, presumably because they believe that's what the audience wants. I agree that's it's unrealistic--in real life fucking or sucking, most guys (giving or receiving) want an internal cum shot.

Another "unrealistic" part of porn is that the actors never communicate what they want--the director is telling them what to do. The best sex happens when guys say what they like--and don't like--as they're doing it.

@blablarg18 That other board is also the only place where it is permitted--even encouraged--to insult people. It doesn't belong here.

The argument ad hominem (literally, "to the man"), such as name-calling or insulting, is the weakest form of discourse. It is the ultimate refuge for those devoid of fact, reason, or intelligence.

I can see that torrent when I search for it.

I've noticed that when I upload a new torrent, it takes one or two tracker update cycles (about 30 minutes each) for everything to sort out. I'm often a bit puzzled or anxious before things settle, but if I give it time, it's fine.

It looks like almost 30 people have downloaded that material. Not everyone will officially say thank you, but you can be confident that they are happy to have the files.

Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma City bomber in late a990;s) was also easy on the eye.I wish they had sentenced him to be my houseboy, rather than to get the needle.

@gozerrrr Getting an invite requires a member of that site spend 350 bonus points (I have close to 40,000!) and give that site your email address; they send an invitation to you with a hyperlink that you use to sign up.

Two potential problems here:

1. This site (gt.ru) used to support private messages between members, so you didn't have to put your email address in a public forum. That functionality seems to have vanished with the recent software changes here.
2. I think there's a forum rule about not promoting other torrent sites--which makes sense, as this site needs advertising revenue to stay afloat, and if a user spends time on another site, that's not time spend here getting revenue.

I'm happy to help out, as long as the privacy and following-the-rule matters get worked out. Perhaps a Gentlemember of the Staff can chime in here with guidance.

We're probably all familiar with the difference between "real inches" and "online inches," the latter being inflated (!) A little exaggeration in a hookup ad is to be expected, but there are limits to credibility.

I found the following graphic interesting: A US banknote is 6 1/8 inches (15.5 cm) long, which is a longer than the "average" erect penis size of 5.5" (14 cm) that most studies report:

I think most of us would consider a "dollar size" penis to be adequate...but nobody's going to proudly advertise that.

What about larger? Standard letter-size paper in Canada and the US is 8.5"x11" (216 x 279 mm); standard A4 paper in Europe is 210 x 297 mm (8.3" x 11.7"). How many "nine inch" porn models (or hookups) are longer than the width of standard business paper?

As much as I like numbers, perhaps we should leave them out of size discussions. Some adjectives like "good," "large," or "huge" can be helpful, but I think anyone advertising something larger than average needs to show a photograph. We all know "big" when we see it; we don't need to put a number on it.

I absolutely agree! That other board is filled with lies and misinformation.
