@mdx8472 said in Anyone having trouble getting on gay-torrents.net?:

It seems that there's a 404 error problem with gay-torrents.net and if you try any of the workarounds, you are prompted that your username/password is incorrect.

Does anyone have any word from mods or admins from there about it?

It's working fine for me. If you continue to have problems, I suggest using their help desk. If you get completely locked out, send me a private chat message with your username on that site, and I'll see if I can get a message to someone who can help.

@arago44 I'm surprised FlavaWorks can even afford the postage to send you a letter. That firm has been in trouble for years: The civil action mentioned in the link from @geobear40 was dismissed; see https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/22240353/John_Doe_v_Flava_Works,_Inc_et_al for a chronology, although you'll need a subscription to read the actual court documents.

More recently, FlavaWorks tried suing Adam4Adam for copyright infringement, claiming that A4A used/uses, without permission, copyrighted FlavaWorks images in advertising third-party products. (Disclaimer: I have a subscription to Adam4Adam, and I see and delete their third-party advertisements. I am not familiar with FlavaWorks' material and have no opinion on the merits of FlavaWorks' claim.)

To make a long story shorter, FlavaWorks apparently lost this action (although I haven't found documentation of that). A4A then pursued--and prevailed over--FlavaWorks for reimbursement of legal costs, but FlavaWorks did not respond. Last summer a Florida court ordered the seizure and sale of much of FlavaWorks intellectual property (i.e., their porn catalog) in order to pay A4A's legal costs. There's a popularized story about this at https://bananaguide.com/article/112977/flava-works-takes-hit-in-lawsuit-against-adam4adam. Philip Bleicher, principal of FlavaWorks, had the following amusing comment regarding this:

"We unfortunately hired some attorneys who turned out to be of the same caliber as Rudy Giuliani — and two of them are currently under investigation by the bar disciplinary commission and one was recently disbarred...We are cleaning up this mess, not going out of business and have filed Chapter 11 to reorganize these debits [sic]"

The Giuliani reference seems to fit, because Bleicher apparently doesn't like to pay his counsel. There's a carefully thought-through rant by an attorney retained (but not paid) by FlavaWorks at https://gulisanolaw.com/phillip-bleicher-criminial-conman-liar/. I especially enjoyed the following line from the attorney who was stiffed,

I made the following counter-offer to Mr. Bleicher: “go fuck yourself and pay me for the work I did.”

I think the bottom line is that FlavaWorks is in its death throes and cannot be taken seriously at this point. I'm not going to offer legal advice in a forum like this, but I will say that if I received a letter from FlavaWorks, I would ignore it.

@lololulu19 I think "performers" find OnlyFans appealing because they can make/edit a video and post it at their convenience, rather than need to be live during prime time for viewers. It also provides them a more reliable revenue stream.

I agree that the content gets boring...especially when most of these guys love to fuck/get fucked, but seem to play a game that they won't touch another guy on screen--maybe wank him, but never kiss or suck.

But people on here seem to like it: Someone will post a 50 GB torrent advertised as "all of XYZ's content" and the system shows dozens of people who have downloaded it. If I randomly select five photos and five videos, I've seen it all.

@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.

@raphjd said in “Pfizer CEO: New Pill Will Have a Microchip That Transmits Info Once You Swallow It!”:

@eobox91103

You admit that the transmitters have been in pills since the 1990s, which is Clinton.

I don't need to "admit" anything. But yes, these are diagnostic tools, for short term use administered with the full informed consent of the patient.

There's also the gut camera pill. I don't know if the tech has improved, but you swallow the pill and wear a fanny pack (bum bag in the UK) that records the images broadcast from the pill as it goes through your system.

I've heard of these, although I've never understood how useful they are. With a colonoscope or endoscope, one can point the camera at items of interest.

@raphjd said in National Geographic publishes "history" book with massive liberal lie/narrative:

"Or consider 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who used his semi-automatic weapon to kill two Black men in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while waging a glorious race war on behalf of his inherited white power."

It's counterproductive for her to put this in what would otherwise be an interesting book. For example, the dust jacket notes conclude by saying,

• And in mining the past, Cooney uncovers the reason why societies have so willingly chosen a dictator over democracy, time and time again.

This has been a problem over the last century, and understanding it would be helpful.

In response to criticism, she is calling everyone racist and misogynist.

Do you have a source for this? She has apologised in her Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/karacooney), but she does not "call everyone racist and misogynist." She maintains that white supremacy and misogyny are problems--which is hard to deny in the US.

@amazeingrave said in WA hello :

Hey all, from WA and looking to be part of the family here. I've been here a few days now and really like the feel to this community.
I'm looking for friendly nice people to chat to.
I'm in a very loving relationship.
I'm into sports - I play hockey. I love good action movies and anime.
The guys I like to see in porn is ones that have really nice hair.
I love chillin with my friends and playing a good D&D game.
I just joined the day before new years here so I'm only 6 days old.

Hello back to you from Canada. I lived in Spokane for a couple of years so I know a bit about WA. I also like seeing guys with nice hair, both on their head and, um, down below.

There are lots of interesting topics in the forum, and you can also start your own. Some deal with sex, porn, and relationships; others have been more domestic things like "how often do you launder your bed sheets?" or "do you shower at the gym or after you get home?" I'm almost tempted to start a topic on "how do you fix a ten year old Bosch dishwasher," but I don't think there would be a lot if takers on that one.

One can also send private messages (called "chats") to other members, which is safer for personal information such as email addresses or even physical location. This isn't a hookup site, but I've met a few other members in person and it was a good (non-sexual) time.

@amazeingrave The flip side of having (too) many files is that just yesterday I was looking for a specific clip and I couldn't find it. Very frustrating, because I came across a lot of stuff that I didn't want, making the search all the more tedious.

@geobear40 said in “Pfizer CEO: New Pill Will Have a Microchip That Transmits Info Once You Swallow It!”:

So the tech was approved in 2017 by the FDA. I wonder if and how it's been used.

Let's see: The Food and Drug Administration is part of the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, which reports to the president of the US. Who was that in 2017? Must have been a nasty liberal socialist communist.

Oral capsules with transmitters have been used for research purposes as early as the 1990's (if not before) as a way of monitoring a person's "core temperature" on a continuous basis, such as for astronauts on short space missions. They can be useful for that, but the subject (the person who takes the pill) has to stay reasonably near a receiver, as the pill has very low transmitting power, and they only work for a day or so before they are "passed" out the subject's back door. They aren't useful for long-term purposes.

But people should be concerned about their personal data being harvested and used. Anyone with a reasonably modern mobile phone (e.g., iPhone or Android less that 15 years old) is constantly telling Apple or Google where they are and how fast they're going--that's how Google Maps shows traffic speeds. I have friends who attend 12-step recovery meetings and leave their phones at home so their attendance can't be determined by data miners.

@duncandonots Welcome to you, and a happy new year!

Macron isn't being helpful...this was likely a moment of rage that he will soon regret.

His actual comment was, "Quand ma liberté vient menacer celle des autres, je deviens un irresponsable. Un irresponsable n’est plus un citoyen" (When my liberty becomes a menace to others, I become irresponsible. An irresponsible [person] is no longer a citizen.) His statement is incorrect under French law.

He could have expressed his thought by saying that "the irresponsible are not acting like good citizens," but even that would have been inflammatory. It might even have been irresponsible, which would then backfire on him. (Le karma, c'est une chienne.)

One doesn't persuade people by publicly insulting or shaming them. His wife was a school teacher, and would know this quite well. I think the two of them will have a rather spirited conversation.

Probably 4-5 TB, most of which I'll probably never watch again...but disk space is so cheap I prefer to leave it rather than pawing through the collection and throwing stuff away.

@raphjd Thanks for posting this.

The December 23rd letter ... pulled no punches. “While most members are good people trying to do right, I believe the church is actively and currently doing harm in the world,” it read.

I think this points to the fundamental problem: While many LDS members are/want to be "good people," they rely on their church for the definition of what that means...and that's often discrimination against, if not downright hatred of, LGBT+ people.

Whatever one wants (and why) for condom/bareback, it's important to talk about it with your partner (especially a new one). One of the most unrealistic things about porn is that guys often automatically move from kissing to sucking to fucking with no conversation--because a director is telling them what to do.

It doesn't spoil the mood to come to agreement on "raincoat or raw." To the contrary, it would spoil the mood if penetration started and the bottom said, "don't you dare put that in me without a a condom."

@just4now Hello, and welcome to this site. I am Canadian/American, and I have not yet been to our country, but I love the varieties of Indian food, and often serve (a poor imitation thereof) at dinner parties.

With best wishes to you,

A quick summary of Russian history:

Under the tsarist period, there was a small upper class with all the money and power, while the rest of the people were poor and oppressed.

This all changed with the Bolshevik revolution:

Under the communist period, there was a small upper class with all the money and power, while the rest of the people were poor and oppressed.

This all changed with the arrival of Putin:

Under the current autocratic state, there is a small upper class with all the money and power, while the rest of the people are poor and oppressed.

Some qualifying footnotes:

1. There was a period from 1992 to 2000, under Boris Yeltsin, when Russia tried to become a western-style democracy. This was too much of a paradigm shift for the country, and the attempt failed.
2. Today's upper class is larger (by population) than the upper classes in previous eras. One visiting Moscow (but nowhere else in Russia) might assume that everyone is in this prosperous class, but that's not true. During the "Cold War," many would say that the USSR was a third world country with nuclear missiles. Today, it's a petrol station with nuclear missiles.

18 to a girl...fucked pussy on an off for a few years until one time, at 21, I was "doing the deed" but couldn't get off without thinking about these two really hot guys who lived next door. That was the last time I had sex with a woman.

24 to a guy...had some acculturated homophobia to get over, and was later worried that I had "lost time" by not starting earlier. I think I've made up for it since then.

@archiver55 To answer your topic question--no, there isn't a list of removed torrents that's available to users, according to what a moderator told me a few years ago.

As @john32123666 says, torrents can disappear if the copyright owner asks it to be taken down. Material from EnglishLads and OnlyFans is often removed. If the torrent is taken down but you're still connected to seeders and/or leechers, those connections will stay active and you can download/upload material from those other people. It will not, though, be counted by the tracker and figured into your ratio.

I can imagine its frustrating to have a torrent disappear when you're using it to boost your ratio. I suggest no using EnglishLads or OnlyFans for this purpose. The torrent you mentioned (Guys of London) sounds like it might have been a thinly masked bit from EnglishLads or its affiliated studios...and those folks watch this stuff carefully.

@mrker1234 For getting fucked, skill beats length or girth. The bottom's prostate needs to be stimulated, and it's rarely more than four centimeters past the anus. It can be pleasured by a long or thick cock, but that's incidental.
