That's a nice piece of background that resonates, raph.

And going through the morning clippings (on this side of the pond), comes an article asserting that the Pope's comments were not only first made in 2019, but somehow – and honestly, how?! – not brought forth for publication at that time, via the very thin notion that the overall focus of his comments were about different issues.

To which I can only say, "whaaaaa?".  Article:

And, with my own very mixed feelings about the Pope and his church, how was this not noticed by just one truthsayer in the papal communications coterie, as well as the Televisa Mexican media handling the interview, so that more than a year passes before the history-changing remarks truly see the light of day?

Something is not passing the smell test here.  Anyone have more to add?

Effective working out involves so much more than the time you spend during each session.  However, for most people, two-hour workouts (even at an unspecified number of times per week) seems like too long.

If you can afford a few hours with an experienced trainer who can provide you with a written weekly workout plan, you'll be on your way.

Or, perhaps you have a friend/acquaintance who has achieved good gym results and could mentor you as a favor.

At the very least, there are many articles online about fitness regimens, and you can start with shorter programs and move up as you achieve results.

I will say, except for competitive bodybuilders or multi-discipline triathletes, I don't run across regimens that involve two-hour workouts – you can achieve the proper muscle isolation and reach a healthy muscle fatigue that builds mass in less time than that.

I really appreciate this problem being addressed.

Although it has only happened to me a few times over the years, there are members – usually new(ish) to the site -- who may not think through the impact of sending these requests again and again and again.

Meanwhile, everyone who once downloaded the torrent, even if their own file was deleted or archived "off-computer", gets waves of messages.

Recently, a member was using the re-seed button excessively, even after being advised politely that five messages were sufficient.  They were given a time out, and had to sit in the corner for a while -- as it should be.

Thanks to the Admins and Mods for maintaining good order on our beloved site.    :hug:

_"Pope Francis has declared support for civil unions for same-sex couples for the first time, according to the Catholic News Agency.

"The Pope made the historic remarks in a new documentary film, "Francesco," which was released in Rome on Wednesday.

"Homosexual people have a right to be in a family. They're children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable over it," the Pope said in the film, the Catholic News Agency reported.

"What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered," the Pope said."_

How important are his comments, in your opinion?

Hello, bananasplit  – you sound delicious...   

You joined at a good time, because a Fetish category was recently added, and should help you find videos about rubber, or latex, or anything in that direction.  Have fun!

Here's "Willkommen" from Cabaret (1972):

Youtube Video

Welcome, Scott!  Glad you are psyched about all the good content here without paywalls, and check out the Forum for site tips and discussion topics, whether it's porn – or even non-porn!

And because members love to share, you can chill and be notsosneaky -- unless that's your thing, lol...       :cheers:

I can understand why one could get tired of the gushing (tee hee) descriptions on uploads here that are lifted verbatim from websites – naturally, content producers are going to put the best spin on their product as possible.

Still, I can't fault Uploaders from using those descriptions -- they are time-savers compared to penning one's own prose, and in many cases, we might assume the Uploader agrees with the copy.

(Truth be told, there's an even bigger, fundamental problem with Uploaders who provide little or no written description at all, also those who omit the "basics," like the studio, photos, year produced and file resolution – 720p, 1080p, etc.)

With that said, anyone can contribute an "independent, non-biased review" in the Comments section at the bottom of each contribution's page.  I have done so on numerous occasions, sometimes to praise the video content or the Uploader's detailed description -- and other times to comment that a video was lacking in some manner.

As for "promoting" -- and by this, I assume, awarding seedpoints -- for writing reviews, that might be a difficult task.  Some people may write a few insightful words, others a rambling paragraph or two -- what qualifies as "points-worthy"?  A numbing administrative task for our already busy site volunteers!

I appreciate your examining the site and offering ideas to make it work better.  Let's see what others have to say.

There's a lot I'd like to say on this topic, if my dick wasn't stuffed in my mouth.

Tee hee.  Actually, no, I can't.

Difficult to imagine that many people can selfsuck to the point where enough gets in to make it pleasurable, rather than uncomfortable.

Same goes for self-fuck.        :afr:   

Here's some Covid 19 reading:

Because of the need to purchase fabrics and furniture that are tough, scratch-resistant and easy to clean, my home decorating choices are essentially made by my cats.      :crazy2:

An actor who combines the best of Jock and Bear styles, John Krasinski.

He may not be known very well outside the U.S., he was in our long-running version of UK's The Office.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Krasinski

He can do man-boyish or hunky bear, which is nice.

Whoever noticed that has a sharp eye – perhaps it's easier to see in a moving video, compared to video stills.

Then there's the question of whether the video clip goes "from face to dick" to prove it's Beau, again, not possible to know from the stills.

One guess is that the guy is having fun with more than one partner who is off-screen, and the other "creepy" partner is just taking a break with a little TV.

You'll probably get more input if you include a link to the scandal video itself.    :blink:

@felophone:

I mean, I totally understand both of your points of view, but you are just assuming without knowing what is my actual intention.

Considering that your identity here is anonymous – and that this is designed as a porn-sharing site – where's the harm in explaining your differing intentions -- if only in the most general of terms?

[countdown=][/countdown]@felophone:

If any of you has any bait content of quality let me know, we might be able to come to an agreement.

This site was created for sharing – among all members – so I'd ask you to reconsider.  The terabyte of content you have downloaded from here was obtained through other people's generosity, yes?

In any event, searching here for "bait" reveals 110 uploaded clips, and "baited" has 214 as of this writing.  I'd encourage members to take advantage of these posts, rather than encourage private trading.

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I would add this fun article about a woman who is quite instrumental in getting drag queens to become voting ambassadors.  While I'm sure they win over a segment of open-minded straights, the impact on increasing LGBTQ voter turnout is particularly notable.

https://supermajority.com/news/education-fund/meet-the-woman-organizing-drag-queens-get-out-the-vote/

Interesting article about parents of LGBTQ children (including "adult children") in the U.S., and their increasing importance as a voting bloc, with implications for the upcoming presidential election.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/09/17/parents-lgbtq-kids-may-decide-2020-election/5779467002/

While my parents have both passed, do any of you have one or both parents who would, per the article, be classified as "equality voters"?

And if so, did you play a role in influencing their direction in voting?  Or, do some of you have parents that (unfortunately) don't consider equality issues?

This question is for members in any country, though for U.S. readers, I say, be sure to get your allied family members to vote!

Over in San Francisco, drag queens are encouraging voter registration via street performances and an upcoming virtual event on October 18 featuring LGBTQ ally, actress Allison Janney (TV's The West Wing and Mom).

The clip – at least to me -- is made a bit more surreal by the Reuters reporter and his straightforward (pun intended) delivery.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/drag-queens-hit-the-streets-to-register-voters/vi-BB19CGZN

Anyway, U.S. readers, you better vote before these fierce queens come knocking on your door.

Welcome to "GTRU," Karzak.  I hope you find a lot that interests you here – for certain, your introduction pic was, um, truly interesting!

By any chance, are you part of the large Arab-American community in Minnesota?  I have one such friend in St. Paul.  In any case, enjoy your time here and a warm welcome.    :hug:

Interesting!  Pretty sure all networks possess the contractual latitude to cut contestants for whatever they list as red-line activities – like having a prolific gay porn career.  A "morals clause," if you will.

I think they would probably do the same for a straight porn performer, but then again...?      :blink:

@bc22:

You have great advice here!

Yes, and your smart "free trial" idea really eliminates any (perceived) barriers for an individual to download this series on the other torrent sites.  And as bbb noted, the sites mentioned here don't require membership, though you'll need to close some ad windows, and those can be shut down by using a VPN.

Maintaining a VPN would run about, say, $3 a month (dividing by an annual subscription) for the peace of mind that ALL of one's downloads, wherever, are anonymized.  There must be dozens of threads and comments here (many by trusted Moderators) that explain the benefits of a VPN, and recommendations of particular brands.   It's hard to reason why any thoughtful person would be so resistant.

@NickJakobs:

I just dont trust those sites. I guess thx anyways then

I've used that particular site for years, both before and after I added a VPN to my computers – and by the way, a VPN would address any safety and confidentiality concerns you may have.

The only pain with that site is your every second click causes a pop-up window offering a VPN (the one I use, actually).  So you need to close those windows (if you don't get a VPN, which I highly recommend again).
