I look at potential playmates on a case by case basis.  Further, I'm attracted to a combination of physical features and personality.  If I'm being totally honest, there are some ethnicities or "races" if you will where I don't find many attractive guys.  At the same time, I don't find it necessary to make a blanket statement like "no [whatever race]".  If I don't find a guy attractive, I just say, "No thank you," or something to that effect.  That's just my approach and my experience.  Other people may have completely different experiences and may feel the need to make the statement up front.  It can be unpleasant to hear.  I know I've felt stung by people who have very bluntly refused me because they think I'm too old.  In summary, two things:  1. I don't think we can really help who we're attracted to or not.  2. No one has to be rude or hurtful about refusing an interest.

I prefer well-hydrated, more clear "beer piss".  If it's too strong, I won't drink it.

The usual no-gos for me are very dark/strong piss, guys who eat asparagus, and guys who take B-complex vitamins.  Though these issues can be remedied by lot of water/beer to dilute the piss..

I grew up Catholic and I still attend every Sunday.  Especially when I was young, it was difficult.  Trying to figure out being gay was bad enough without the church's criticism.  I struggled for a while but I eventually came to see that there was a core belief that was well summarised in Christ's final commandment, "Love one another as I have loved you."  Then, there was a lot that just seemed "added on" over time by people with their own particular prejudices.  I decided that if I could accept and try to live in that first part then the "added on" stuff wasn't so important.  There are so many who would tell me that this way of thinking is very wrong.  So be it.  If they want me to respect their faith views, then they have to respect mine, even if they disagree.

Two thoughts:

Anyone who can use God and hate in the same sentence is usually demonstrating a fundamental lack of understanding of one or both of those ideas.

Yes, anyone can be a good (holy) person and be gay at the same time.  God made me gay and I really do thank Him for it daily.

Briefs.  I'm always watching for a nice bulge!

Turned 50 just a week ago.

Prince Harry!

I didn't have the full realization until I was about 20 or 21

I always knew I was "different" from other kids but, up until puberty, I thought that was because I was very smart and academically inclined.  As I reached puberty, I got got clues like how my friends seemed to get a very physical, visceral reaction when they saw a girl they liked.  I didn't seem to get that same feeling.  At 16 I had my first experience.  It was with a guy.  After I went away to university, I realized that I'd get that same strong gut reaction my high school friends did but it happened to me when I saw a hot guy.  By this time, I was playing with guys and going to bars.  There was one Sunday morning when I'd just finished playing with my boyfriend at the time and I realized, "This is what I like.  I like guys."  I don't think that I could admit to myself that I liked guys until I realized that I could like guys and still be "me".  I didn't have to act effeminate or talk with a lisp.  I don't hide the fact that I'm gay but I don't advertise it either.  I just don't think that my preference is relevant to every conversation or inter-personal relationship that I have.

I used to when I was away from heavy city traffic.  It had it's appeal but I don't do it any more.  That's mostly because I'm too busy to go driving for fun.  Still, summer is coming.  Maybe some hot sunny day wearing the right pair of shorts…   Maybe I'll shoot some video doing it too...  We'll see.

Jockstraps for working out or going out to play.  Boxers for sleeping in.

Yes, when I was younger by my sister.  Later, as an adult my dad an I were away skiing.  We shared a hote room.  I thought he' was asleep on the couch so I was surfing porn and jerking off.  I looked up and he was watching me.  I immediately stopped and he said, "Don't stop because of me."  I've often wondered exactly what he meant by that…

I love to swallow!  I wouldn't call it "offensive" for someone to spit out my load.  I think it's just a question of what you like or don't like.  I mean, if I gave him my load, that says something good about him that I was turned on enough to give it to him.  He can decide what to do with it - spit or swallow.

An uncut cock will often catch my eye.  I'm not sure if there's a reason…  I'm cut and maybe it's curiosity because I don't have an uncut one of my own to play with.    Still, it's not a primary consideration.  I often say that being hot is 50% what you've got and 50% how you wear it.

The original poppers were amyl nitrite, used to treat angina and, strangely, cyanide poisoning.  When the powers that be determined that people were using them for fun, a number of jurisdictions made them "prescription only".  Isobutyl nitrite was often used in place of amyl nitrite, but various authorities started catching on to that too and restricting the sale or production.  That's why most poppers were sold as "liquid incense", "leather cleaner", or "video head cleaner".  Recently, here in Canada, it was made illegal to sell, but it's ok to manufacture for export.  The nanny-state makes little sense on any level.

As the dance between poppers enthusiasts and poppers prohibitionists continues, a number of others in the family of alkyl nitrites were sold as "poppers".  The common wisdom is that these other alkyl nitrites are less enjoyable and cause the nasty side effects like really bad headaches and so on.  I'm told that the "real" alkyl nitrite and the isobutyl nitrite produce the desired effect without the undesirable side effects.  I'm not a connoisseur, but when I do indulge, I've been pleased with the Jungle Juice brand.  Just beware of counterfeiters!

I've been told by a number of people that the following website is fairly reputable: http://buypoppers.net/  At least they seem to say the right things.  Friends have purchased from them and reported favourably.  My only problem with them is that they only seem to sell the 10 ml size and not the 30 ml.  What can I say?  I'm cheap and I like to buy in bulk!  LOL!!

If you have patience, time, and a little bit of chemistry knowledge, the synthesis of isobutyl nitrite is relatively simple.  Search YouTube and you should find two or three different videos showing the process.

+1 for "I don't".  Like some other posters, I'm an adult and I don't have to worry about siblings or parents going snooping on my computer.

Another +1 for TrueCrypt.  I use that for my kink stuff.  In the unlikely event that someone accesses my porn stash, they won't be shocked or surprised to find out that I'm gay (at least they shouldn't be if they've been paying any attention at all.  At the same time, I'd prefer that it be a little more difficult to find out that I think watersports play is hot… 

On average, about 5-6 times a week.  It can approach 7 or 8 times a week in winter, when it's too cold and snowy to go out to find "playmates".  I find the frequency also increases with stress.  It decreases with more sex - no surprise there.  Whether it's masturbation or full-on sex, I agree that getting more makes me want more.

I prefer bareback whether I'm top or bottom.  It has to be one gorgeous cock for me to suck it with a condom on!  Usually, I find it not worth the effort.

Others have described the difference in feeling and I agree with the ones who've said that it feels much better; hotter!

If my play partner wants to use condoms, I respect that and we'll play wrapped.  As long as the decision to go raw or wrapped is an informed one, honestly made, fully taking into account any and all possible outcomes, I respect that decision.  As such, I'd hope that anyone I encounter would similarly respect my decision, even if they disagree.

There's always the option of saying, "Thanks, but no thanks," and walking away.

Vers.  About 60% top and 40% bottom and a hot flip-flop session beats all.  Favorite position is any one that helps the action.

I prefer to trim; primarily because shaving (or trimming very close) itches.  Also, I like the look I get when I trim "just right".  That said, I also find smooth guys a real turn on.  As has been said before, it's a question of your personal preference.

My first time was good.  Really, really good.  The long-term effects were good in that it started the process of me "coming out to myself".  Growth is often painful and I was fairly young, so I spent a number of years working through the conflict between "I really like this" and "I really don't want to like this".  My biggest breakthrough was when I realized that I could like sex with other guys and it didn't change or require a change in other aspects of my life.  I grew up in one of those small cities where the entire thing was like on big suburb.  My only understanding of "gay" was scary leather dudes with whips or guys in dresses who acted like women.  Neither of those options seemed even remotely like "me" or anything I wanted to be.  The last half of high school was tough, but one of my teachers became a very good friend and helped me through a lot of it.  I went to Toronto for university and, in the "big city", I was eventually was able to get to where I knew what I was about and I was happy with that.  That was around 22 - 23 years old.  Since then, things have sometimes been challenging, sometimes frustrating, but overwhelmingly very good.  My partner and I recently celebrated 22 years together.  I'm very fortunate that I had that first time when I did and that it was such a good experience because it started a process of growth that I think would have been much more painful and awkward if I had delayed starting it until I was in my 20's (or later).  Now it's a good memory of a hot experience (my first BJ - both giving and getting).  It started me on an important journey of growing up, learning about myself, and learning to be happy with who I am.

I like to see guys in thongs or jockstraps, but I don't often wear a thong.  When I work out at home, I usually wear just a jockstrap and t-shirt.  I find it gives me a little extra motivation to do my workout.
