@Kekkaishi Well, how could one ever surpass the fascination of:

Must go, as I feel a strange fatigue coming on:

@Kowmei Hi there! I think that you and your photo will be very well received by the welcoming (and generally horny) members of the site. Cheers!

@Frederick:

Forget about Trump.. the thing to watch is whether or not the Republicans can get their act together and pass healthcare and a tax cut.

Frederick, just curious…

EDIT:  Discussion of Senate health care bill moved to a more specific thread:

https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=51303.0#new

I was raised by my parents as an only child, which explains all the bitterness in my sister.

A new study found that each year, humans eat more bananas than monkeys, which I found odd, as I eat a lot of monkeys.

My partner was mad that I have absolutely no sense of direction, so one day I just packed up my stuff and right.

My grandfather didn't see that well, which explains why he fell into it.

After my dog died I went to a grief counselor for a month, and that man was so good at his job that when he died a week later, I didn't care.

I took my ex-boyfriend out yesterday, which made me realize how much I love being a sniper.

My therapist told me that "time heals all wounds," so I stabbed him and locked him a closet for a week, and found out he was wrong.

I was at a playground this morning, and when the mother next to me smiled and asked "Which one is yours?", I explained, "I'm still choosing."

In my corner of the world, a lot of "18s" are finishing up high school, living at home, and/or dependent on their parents for all or most of their financial support.

The comments in this thread have centered on the original poster's desires. The young man apparently has not signaled interest in a closer social or a sexual contact.

At age 36, I think any effort "to convince him to spend some time" with you has the potential for a number of unfortunate outcomes.

@Thankyou63 I am impressed by someone new-ish to the Forums who actually understands the importance of reading the Rules, and cares about being on the right side of them!

The text you reference is from 2008 -- it might be useful to contact the Helpdesk if you're interested in the topic, qualifications, etc.

Keep reading the Rules and Information, as well as the Support Discussions, and you'll pick up a lot of useful knowledge, even for a self-described "long-time lurker!"

@pppucci:

Raphjd has been a dedicated volunteer for a very long time.  No one wants to diminish that.  But when it comes to this forum, those of us who are frustrated can only implore him to be fairer, and ignore him when he isn't.  Now please, everybody, let's get back to discussing politics.

The fact (and I fully agree) that raphjd has been a dedicated volunteer for such a long time, simply makes the current situation of imbalance more regrettable.

However – I don't implore persons for fairness after they have willingly assumed the mantle of governance.  It should be a "default" behavior, and if that individual excels, they will be remembered for their gift of impartiality.

If they lose their fair-mindedness, are given many chances to right their course, and continue to act with inequity, then that failure will be their legacy.

Why don't churches have wi-fi?

They can't compete with an invisible force that actually works.

My clothes are like Billie Eilish songs.

I was really surprised when I found out that a kid made them.

Mother:  "I found bondage gear and fetish mags in Timmy's room!"

Father:  "Well, I'm no therapist, but I wouldn't spank him."

I wish the grass in my yard was emo…

…because then it would cut itself.

My parents always told me, “Just say no to drugs!”.

Well, If I’m talking to my drugs, I probably already said yes.

When did scientists first study sperm? And how did the academic community and polite society of the era feel about discussing the topic? Answers can be found here in a fun article:

Moving to the current day on this website, the idea of spunk seems to hold a great fascination with so many of you! Comments, etc., welcomed.

@lololulu19 Mr. Lulu, you're speaking with command -- aka imperative -- verbs. Patience is a virgin, as they say.

Down the road, TY63 may share many things with our gay global village. Let's allow him to decompress from all that long-time lurking -- of course, cock shots always encouraged.

OK, it IS a bit lofty.

Instead:

"Everyone, from moderator to members, should be held to an ongoing standard of fairness and civility each day.  From time to time – and often, many times! -- we make these discussions harder than they need to be."

A:  Knock!  Knock!

B:  Who's there?

A:  Control Freak.

B:  Con…

A:  Okay, now you say, "Control Freak who?"

Some escorts choose that avocation because it's the only "living-wage" option they have, while the most-skilled ones make a large amount of money (and gifts) because they've mastered the the art of pleasing and/or manipulating their clients.

Many people have seen the film Pretty Woman (1990), but "I hired an escort and we fell for each other" is truly a needle in the haystack.

With the help of online communications, there are now many variations on escorts and their services, and many engage in practices akin to catfishing.

Even on our site, a member can't stop boasting about a younger man who isn't really gay, but strings him along with nudie photos and occasional words of encouragement -- as long as money and gifts keep coming.

A person has to exercise caution if falling for someone who sells actual sex -- or a pay-as-you-go online relationship -- promoting the idea that one day -- one fine, fine day -- it can be something much more.

@MadRingo Ah, I noticed you posted here in 2018, but after such a long "break," you certainly deserve another Introduction!

This thread was wrong-headed from the get-go.

If you have a beef with someone and you perceive it as a likely violation of the Forum's terms, then contact the Administrator directly.  Name-highlighting on thread titles is bush league.

As far as your concern about thumbs down – truly bigger than the G20 for you -- it's one of a dozen emojis available to evaluate each post, and forum members appear to have the right to never use them, or to use them as often as they please.

Meanwhile, you seem quite unconcerned by the green bar/red bar Reputation Power manipulation going on, as it's the conservatives playing with that statistic to their advantage.  The total posts from progressives on that topic?  Probably fewer than your own here, in this single-thread pity party.

You obviously needed some attention, and now you've had it, congratulations, perhaps someone will bake you a cake.

@pecslover said in Anyone tried using Nair on the butthole?:

I've been considering shaving my butthole but not be eager to get a razor near it. Would a chemical work? Is there a way to test to make sure i"m not allergic?

It has much less to do with if you're allergic to the hair-removal product, and much more to do with the sensitivity of the skin surrounding and comprising the external anal sphincter.

In short, applying a cream -- strong enough to dissolve robust hair! -- around your anus can easily result in holy hellfire if left on too long, or if it gets on the mucosal tissues.

@bw170765 We are talking Reputation points, yes? To achieve a higher total, your post or comment needs to be "upvoted" by another member, each instance providing a point.

You may notice that your current total of one point translates to your one "Best Post" on your home page -- that comment received an upvote.

It's been my experience -- in the old and new Forums -- that posters get more thumbs up -- or points -- when they contribute items that are breaking news, or an interesting question that generates ongoing discussion.

Wishing people to have a good day, or other small responses, may be very positive and kind, but less likely to generate upvotes.

And sometimes I've written a topic that I thought was just crackin' good -- and no one replied, lol.

I'm sure your point totals will go up as your participation increases. Right now, other than climbing out of the Lurker category, I'm not sure of other benefits to running up point totals.

Perhaps some higher "point-total category designations" have yet to be reached by anyone, or perhaps this Forum is putting less emphasis on it. And frankly, I think that would be a good thing.

Ah, I've noticed that you're very investigative.

Well, my university and career background is in Journalism. But anyone in gaytor can right click on a the member name in a post, or the User icon at top of page, and find lots of individual data, yes?

Not to mention the very intimate "Following" someone!

I'm happy you're happy.  I tend to keep my gay friends in one category – and lusty, potential sex partners in a separate category.  I hope they are of a similar mindset.

@studge27 said in Anyone tried using Nair on the butthole?:

nair or veet would be a safe bet over a razor at times, maybe do a sample patch before commiting to the whole thing

How can it be a "safe bet," when the poster directly above you provides a personal account of using these products, and regrets it due to chemical burns?
