I don't think it's possible on the forum part directly, but I know there is a way to block the user account on the main side of the site. I just don't know if it can be done at regular user level at this time.
And after looking into your account history (namely the reports), I think I know who this particular user is. All that I will say is that I share the opinion you have expressed with respect to a particular user in a forum report you recently made. 
This gives me an idea for a reclaiming "dirty" poster. Clean sex is for breeders and clones.
:lolp:
In some cases, as much as the law states that disclosure is required, I cannot really pass judgement on someone for not disclosing. Anonymous public hookups like cruising in the park, not asking questions, or in some cases, not even being able to identify the other person are such situations where I have a different view than the law around disclosure. Given the whole thing with the undetectable viral load, it would stand to reason that the law is a little out-dated.
Say you go to a bathhouse, and you see someone blindfolded in a sling in a dark corner, it's pretty obvious what they want, and that they do not care. In such a case, if you as the undetectable top decide to dive in raw, disclosure in my opinion shouldn't be necessary under those pretenses. The same holds true for the bottom. If they're in a sling and don't care, it is equally the responsibility of the other person to protect themselves if they're concerned with it, especially if the person in the sling is undetectable. Sadly though, the law is quite clear that disclosure still must occur.
All this being said though, it will be interesting to see how long it takes for the legal system to catch up with the facts that while there is no evidence that proves that it is impossible to transmit HIV with an undetectable viral load, but there sure is an overwhelming amount of evidence that statistically seems to indicate that an undetectable viral load is actually safer than sex with a condom. Condoms have been known to break, slide off, or otherwise occasionally fail in some way. If used properly and they do not slide off or break however, they are a proven method of preventing HIV as well. If you ask me, ZERO cases of infection from an undetectable viral load over the 10 - 14 years that the different studies were conducted sounds like a whole lot safer odds than a reasonable bet that infection is not possible, knowing that there is always a chance that the condom could break.
This is the kind of information that more people should know. There's a whole lot worse things than HIV that are possible that you can get a LOT easier than HIV itself at this day and age. I provide information like this as a reference for people to be able to make their own choices for themselves, knowing that they can make their decision proplerly informed with all the facts. Just because something is possible, doesn't necessarily mean that it's likely.
The biggest key is to start slowly and make sure that you use lots of lube. Slowy begin to play with yourself back there and you'll learn to start relaxing. Before you know it, you'll be good to go.
Also, in some cases, finger nails (among other things) can bring a certain level of pain when playing with yourself that a cock for some reason just doesn't. Do not fear this, as it is normal and will pass. That being said though, make sure that you keep pushing yourself slowly over time. Remember…. Rome wasn't built in a day.
I'm an au naturel kinda guy…. I hate the use of condoms, especially if I am topping.
I guess for me it's not exactly a cut and dry thing. The biggest factor involved would definitely be the chemistry between me and the other person. There are some people that at first sight, the primal animal instinct kicks in and the sexual juices start flowing. For other people on the other hand, I find it better to go a little slower and take my time before just rushing into bed. It's really hard to say actually…
For me it all depends on the person, the setting, etc. In some cases, just a quick peck is all that is warranted, whereas in other cases (such as when you're starting to get comfortable and close), open is definitely the way to go.
This may also have to do with where QTM was installed. If you install it to C:\QTM and make sure to run the install file as an administrator, this should resolve the issue as well. Otherwise, you may need to run QTM as an administrator every time.
To my understanding, there are two main ways of doing this…. The first is to use iTunes, which Apple forcibly crams down their users' throats..... The second one is a little more geeky. Linux should be able to pull said pictures off of the device as a USB drive. If you don't want to install Linux, there are a few options available...
Ubuntu for example offers an option to "Try Ubuntu", which allows you to boot into an Ubuntu session out of your system's RAM, as not to remove or otherwise modify your current operating system. You can find that legally for free at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
As for the alternative method, you can also try UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD), which will allow you to boot into a virtual Linux session (also running from RAM) using their "Parted Magic" tool. The UBCD is also available legally for free at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com
If either option should fail, I may have other ways of doing it. I will have to play around with an iDevice myself fist to be able to provide more detailed instructions on how to do this.
This may sound strange, but my favourite place is usually anywhere that's risky to get caught. Something about the risk of getting caught just adds to the thrill. Such places include a cemetary, a public washroom, a church basement, and the back of a police cruiser… Yes... That's right.. I've had sex in the back of a police cruiser befoe. It was a pretty fun way to get out of a speeding ticket actually. :hehe:
True enough…
The one up side though to closetted men is that strangely, I've found closetted men tend to be tbe kinkiest in the sheets for some reason. It's kind of strange because they're all open minded usually, but not willing to admit that they're gay in public. :crazy2:
@nmd:
My guess is that you have both sets of cables connected at once and this is confusing for it or your TV or both. Try only using HDMI and see how that goes.
This is quite possible… There is also another possibility as well. I know that when my WDTV box once did this, the solution I fould was to do a hardware reset with the reset switch on the back of the box. It was a little bit of a pain to get it going again after that, but if it's not the issue as mentioned above, this may be worth a shot.
I too have migrated from the world of Windows to Ubuntu some time ago and have never bothered to look back. Given the more advanced firewall options that you can create yourself, it's much easier to secure a network when running it behind something like Ubuntu than it is to directly expose a Windows base computer directly to the internet.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one on this site who seems to have taken to that switch to make it over to the world of Ubuntu.
Amazing HIV+ Gay Men: Tyler Curry

He was 28 when he found out he was HIV-positive. Though he worried about being ostracized, the accidental activist posed naked and sudsy to protest the use of “clean” to describe people who don’t have HIV.

He was 28 when he found out he was HIV-positive. Nothing was more scary to Tyler Curry than figuring out how to disclose his status without being ostracized by others in the gay community.
“So with impending doom off the table, what is there to be afraid of? Well, for me and for many I know, it is the person that is reading this article,” Curry wrote in a December 2012 online op-ed for The Advocate. “It is being the rotten golden egg that plummets to the bottom of the dumpster in Charlie’s Chocolate Factory. It is the deafening effect uttering the letters ‘HIV’ can have in a conversation.”
Well, that rotten golden egg has taken the HIV and LGBT community by storm since then, immersing himself in activism and becoming a major media presence, often using his own body and image to get his message about HIV across. As an Advocate contributor, Curry once appeared naked in a sudsy shower to protest the continuing use of “clean” to describe people who don’t have HIV. And while older activists bristled at the attention Curry got for things they’ve been saying for years, it was clear that this Gen Y upstart was getting through to a lot of young people.
Curry launched the Needle Prick Project, an editorial and visual campaign aimed to open dialogue on the current state of living HIV-positive. It included a series of published interviews and photographs of Curry with other poz notables. In addition to writing for The Advocate, he has contributed to Instinct and The Huffington Post, and today he’s senior editor and head writer for a Web-based HIV resource and magazine, HIV Equal Online.
Curry reminds us that youth is for pushing forward, making noise, and bringing attention to a cause. “Even though I probably won’t die tomorrow, I can still live better today,” Curry wrote in that 2012 column. “Realizing just that is the change in our lives that we all deserve.”
Yes… Far too often people don't disclose their status in an anonymous or group sex type scene. Most of them do not disclose their status from my experience because they're undetectable. The rational behind that is that as per what the article outlines, undetectable viral load more or less means damn near NO risk of infection.
All I can really say is consider your source. Given some of the information that was presented, there are still a number of questions surrounding the content of the original post. Somehow though, I don't think getting a clear answer will ever be possible.
Also, the same care that keeps you alive, should have been the same care that prevented it from happening in the first place.
Slut shaming pure and simple. There should be zero tolerance for this.
You could call it slut shaming, but that would imply that I am actually ashamed of what happened, when the fact is that it really doesn't bother me anymore.
The only down side to closeted men is that if you're trying to establish a relationshp with them, it can be hard to not out them in some way.
And now how to get the message to those potential onine dates who prefer 'clean'.
That's the battle that a lot of people are sadly struggling with. Even if there's absolutely no risk of transmitting HIV to someone else, failing to disclose your status can land you a criminal charge for Aggravated Sexual Assault. Sadly, I know this all too well when a sexual partner of mine lied to the police and said that I didn't tell him that I had HIV, when in fact I most certainly did. As sad as it is to say, that's the reality that we are facing at this day and age. 
Also, are they just saving the Truvada for special occasions? When I am in the groove sex is not just daily but hourly. Will these guys have to decide who is "sponge worthy"?
Based on the sound of the article, it does indeed sound like the use of Truvada is around special occasions. That being said though, Truvada is also effective as a post-infection remedy, as it has been in my case for some time now. It's also used in the treatment of Hepatits C as well.
I would concede that you may know how HIV works, but not immunology entirely or else why go to medical school or the doctor. Secondly, your doctor and drugs like abacavir have kept you alive. Also, the same care that keeps you alive, should have been the same care that prevented it from happening in the first place.
WOW!! I don't even begin to know where to start with that one. First off, HIV is short for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. (Note the word that is underlined). Simply put, it has everything to do with the immune system. In order to work with it, one must first understand the workings of the immune system. If you don't have any understanding of immunology and the way the immune system works, then you don't stand a chance in hell at managing your health and keeping on top of things. There's more involved to it than just taking the meds actually… much more. For example, eating habits (including how much of what you eat), excercise, and a proper balance of enzimes in your blood stream have a great impact on how one must manage with such things, as they all affect the immune system. And really...?! Abacavir? Are you serious?! That med has long since been placed in the obsolite antique pile of meds, along side AZT, D4T, and 3TC. Just sayin'.... It may be helpful to get some more up to date information.
I would concede that you may know how HIV works, but not immunology entirely or else why go to medical school or the doctor.
There is one very simple answer to this question… Within the province of Ontario, without a certificate (license if you will) from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, one cannot legally practice medicine, and therefore, are not able to do such things as write a prescription for the drugs that are necessary as a part of keeping themselves alive.
It's actually kind of sad to see that at this day and age, there are people out there who believe that you can only know what you know if you have a piece of paper that says so. This is a large part of the "problem" with society, especially given that there are a LOT of people out there who have a plethora of pieces of paper that say that in theory they know what they're talking about, however are complete morons and don't know the first thing about what they're dealing with. By the same token, there are also people who are self-educated, with no official pieces of paper to say that they know what they know who have a much more advanced knowledge of the subjects they have taught themselves than the people with those fancy pieces of paper. It's like saying that a mother who has successfully raised 12 children who all turned out to be successful knows nothing about taking care of or raising a child, simply because she doesn't have a piece of paper that says she knows how to read, write, and regurgitate a "standard" set of information that gets determined by some organization and varies from one region to another.
While on that topic, I suggest that you get all your facts properly before running your mouth. You assume that my contracting HIV was the result of negligence or other such stupidity on my part. Just to set the record straight, I contracted HIV by getting raped. I never asked for someone to infect me with HIV, nor did I go around being careless about my practices to end up infected. In fact, the particular sexual experience that resulted in my HIV infection wasn't exactly consentual. If it were up to me, I would never have had sex with the man who infected me, but when you're backed into a corner and forcibly taken against your will after declining sex several times by someone much bigger and much stronger than you, suddenly, there's no choice in the matter. I will be clear when I say that I never wished to have HIV, and it most certainly was not the reult of my own doing as you seem to imply. So again as I said.... Before you go assuming things, it generaly helps to have all of the facts.
By the same token, I could also ask you the same question. Do you have any fancy piece of paper that says you're "certified" in immunology? For that matter, what "formal" experience or background do you have in the field? It just so happens that I, like most people I know with HIV, have had to keep on top of such material myself in order to best understand how to manage my health, since as I said, a doctor and drugs alone simply aren't enough to keep things in check. To be perfectly blunt, there have even been times when I have actually had to explain things to my doctor for whatever reason, which only further illustrates my pervious point about a fancy piece of paper.
