@eobox91103 omg That's such a great point. I'm a nurse, I'm positive they wipe down the injection site first.
The only problem is that we keep killing innocent people on death row. And I'd rather get rid of the death penalty entirely than risk even 1 innocent person dying because of it.
Yes, that's the problem. Whether needle or noose, there's no "undo" button after the fact.

Send some snow our way, Ill take some pictures in it haha
We can send snow, but maybe we can also send you some you some vowels. With place names like Cwmystwyth and Bwlchgwyn , it seems like you might have a shortage of them...
(Just kidding/teasing; my family is from the England and I remember nice visits to Wales when I was a wee lad.)

I'm so glad you uncovered that scam before you put big money down on that unicorn.
Especially since the critter will be immediately seized by the Department for Management and Control of Animals (DMCA).
@stam8 said in Being attracted to Straight Guys but it's a bad thing now?:
Where do you usually find them?
The cop was in a gay chat room; the other guy was from a gay hookup site. The cop was open about his situation from the beginning; the other guy only said he wanted to "give oral" and then hit me with the camera thing when I got there. Those are the only two "straight" guys I've hooked up with--that I know of.
I haven't had any experience lately because of the pandemic and just worried about catching anything in general.
Same here. Somehow asking for proof of vaccination and a recent covid test seems like a mood-breaker, even if it is just a hookup.
@calatar You're quite right, although I enjoyed the exchange with Bi4Smooth--that's the kind of discussion that shows the potential benefit of a forum like this. It's unfortunate that good discussions get poisoned by a childish brat.
@john32123666 Oh dear...I thought he had stopped his petty crusade. I have the "straight" category turned off so I haven't been seeing his latest droppings.
A few times when I've been waiting for a print job to finish, I've searched out likely targets for the one star troll and given them a five star rating. That way when the jerk sees one of them, and wants to piss on it, all he can do is drop a "five" to a "three." The poor thing must feel so frustrated.
I think the term "public" is being used two different ways in this thread:
I've had sex in bathhouses, bushes behind gay/nude beaches, and at a gay sex party. While this was with or in view of strangers, they were all willing participants (or voyeurs), and nobody's rights were violated. I'm not sure I would call this "public," but the presence of (willing) strangers has an appeal.
I've also had/seen sex in the shower rooms of gyms; this would probably be considered "public" and thus inappropriate, but on a couple of occasions it was difficult to resist. (Once at university I was seen by another student, and I stopped immediately...a few years later at a YMCA I was caught by a staff person, who joined in.)
Some guy having a wank on a street corner is definitely public and definitely inappropriate. It could easily be considered harassment as @flozen suggests above.
@raphjd I am not quitting the forums, I'm only quitting making responses to you. This post is an exception. I enjoy thoughtful engagement with forum participants.
It is ironic (and that's a polite word) that you are a "forum administrator," when you frequently engage in venomous and childish name-calling. That would not be permitted in most forums, and even goes against the rules of this site. It's amusing (again, another polite word) that you violate the very rules that you have posted.
You're not fooling anybody. People who read your postings have this all figured out. If grownups are having a discussion on here that you don't understand, perhaps you should stand down.

@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
I've used this process myself for a hundred or more uploads.
Note that the "Trackers" window will show http://gaytor.rent:------- to reflect the new site domain.
Be sure to follow all of @john32123666's other recommendations, like unchecking "start seeding" which seems to be a default. Leaving that one checked can cause issues.
I know I join with other members in looking forward to the material you share on here.
@flozen said in Public sex:
@Watever2000 A "gay foam party" is held in a private venue, and you engaged in sex where every attendee understood the likelihood of such behavior.
It is worlds away from the examples of public spaces I gave above your reply, as well as from the other posters. Glad you had a lovely time.
Our responses crossed in the ether. Great minds think alike. 
@chanelkokoro I appreciate your careful response to my post. I think we probably agree on a lot more things than we disagree on, but it's the differences that make for good discussion. It's nice to have that discussion by addressing issues rather than by calling names. There are people on here who need to learn that.
And you're right, I don't live in the US (although I'm there right now). I do spend a lot of time there (here) and thus try to be informed on US issues, but I'd probably dig into them more deeply if I were a full-time resident.
@ianfontinell I wouldn't presume to speak for our brother Al, but until then, here's a famous American dick:
I think there are two topics going on here: (1) I think the OP was asking about thumbnail files that would be part of of the torrent itself, and (2) others were addressing thumbnail files that would be part of the description on the torrent page.
Both approaches are useful, depending on the circumstances: If the torrent has only a few videos (four or less, maybe), then having thumbnail files posted as part of the torrent page is a good idea, along with some large single photos.
For torrents with a lot of video files, I like to see a separate folder of thumbnails in the torrent itself; then I can download only the thumbs and then decide which video files to download.
Whether a thumbnail file is part of the torrent page or downloadable from the torrent, advice from members above should be heeded:
Set the thumbnail generator to make each thumb a good size--150 pixels high at a minimum.
Don't have the video sampled too often--once every two minutes will give a sense of what's going on.
@raphjd said in Scotland officially bans free speech:
You probably don't realize it, but it makes you look like a hypocrite when you attack me for something, while blatantly ignoring the same thing from someone to who I was replying.
I made no such attack. My whole point is that attacking others is inappropriate for useful discussion. I try not to use the word "you" in a reply unless it's clearly complimentary.
I once heard a proverb that, "If you throw a stone into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that you hit." It is good to think on that...but as staunch dog lover, I'm a bit uncomfortable with the proverb.
@bc22 Let me try this with an uploaded image:
which should show up above.
If you like uTorrent (as I do), you don't want to use version 3.6. Version 3.5.5 is stable (I use it), and you can get a download of it at https://www.filesoul.com/software/uTorrent/3-5-5-45271-for-PC-Windows/download/ . Then, make sure you got to Options -> Preferences -> General and un-tick the box that says, "Automatically install updates:"
Do NOT try to get this version from a link on domain uptodown.com. Those links have been corrupted and will install version 3.6, which is a disaster.
You can also follow the suggestions of others on there who advocate version 2.2.1. That also works...but again, make sure you untick the auto-upgrade box.
Good luck with your project, and let us know how it turns out!
@cp2000 I hope what I write here isn't a "therapy session," as @ianfontinell-0 puts it...
Thank you for sending the links to the torrents. I downloaded some of the material, and it's pleasant to view. But to the greater point of "straight" guys having "gay" sex, and enjoying it, we need to make some distinctions. (Note, though, that the guy on the torrent page was never seen to engage in any gay sex, even if he showed his hole.)
Categories like "straight," "bi," or "gay" are difficult to define, but they're about who people are attracted to, who they form deepest relationships with, etc. It's something of the mind.
Actions like "gay sex, [and let's assume that it's two men] are just that--activities. They don't necessarily reflect someone's orientation. Many of the models/actors whose films appear on this site are in fact straight guys, some married with kids, but they can enjoy a good blowjob, fucking a tight, slippery hole, or having a prostate orgasm. They especially enjoy being paid for doing this stuff. It doesn't mean that they're gay.
You mention the possibility of generational differences: I think you're asking if "straight guys having sex with another man" is limited to "millennials." I don't know of any studies on this, but I think the answer is no. Rather, I think guys who want to experiment or play are more likely to do so within their own generation, as that's who they can best relate to, and they probably have most of their friends in their same generation.
Thanks for raising an interesting topic.
