We have two handsome friends, "Adam" and "Brad" who are single and looking for partners. I asked my hubbie if he thought the two might hook up, and he said "Oh, that could never work. They're both bottoms." It had never occurred to me that a man would ever exclude from consideration another man for a long-term relationship simply because both were bottoms. Can't those things work out? Maybe take turns or use a toy or inanimate object if needed? Would you never consider another man, no matter how handsome and nice he was, simply because he prefers the same position as you do? I mean, I prefer oral, and I've never met a man who doesn't like to be sucked, so maybe that's why…

They include annual extensions of stay, the 5-20 years Elite visa and the 10 years Long Term Residence (LTR), each of which has its own scale of charges with assorted pluses and minuses.

Purchase of condominiums is allowed but does not generally result in visa concessions. Since January 2024, anyone spending six months or more in the kingdom may be liable to personal income tax on remitted income. Malay…

Stephen Dacus, the chair of the Seven & i board considering the deal, said in a letter that the proposal wa…

There have been a number of times when I'm texting someone, and I invite him to an event, and it's silence. Rather than say "I'll check my calendar when I get home. I'll get back to you at 4," or something, it's no response. I must confess that I find that rather irritating. What's your experience? If you receive an invitation by text, do you usually respond to the invitation right away (even if it's to say you don't know yet), or, if you haven't decided, do you just go blank--pretending you didn't see the text or whatever? Or do others do that to you? I mean, my calendar is right on my phone, so for me it's not rocket science to figure out if I can come or not (assuming …
