No priest ever hit on me either. However, as an adult, I allowed the head of a seminary I attended for one year to stay at my place and gave him my bed while I slept on the couch. He kept telling me that we had yet to properly say goodnight. This is after he had gone to bed. So I said good night, that's it. Never saw him again.

Well, I doubt this guy diddled Ike.

Well, what happened in the intervening five years?

Thanks for the report, bitch! Above is a private joke.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/dec/30/ikes-mystery-man-review-robert-bobby-cutler-peter-shinkle President Dwight D. Eisenhower employed a gay man as his personal secretary during some of the most troubling battles against gays in the 50's. A witch hunt like Trump has never seen aimed to ferret gays out of the government, but right next to the president was a gay man, troubled, closeted, and not always fair to other gays. Ike’s Mystery Man is the perfect title for Peter Shinkle’s fine biography, from which the big headline is about Cutler’s shepherding of a disastrous 1953 executive order under which the lives of thousands of federal employees were destroyed just because they were gay," the Post says. The new book should be a fascinating read.

Hi Jake the tenth. I am glad you converse in English! Who are/were the other 9 Jakes?

Or just being bitchy because your back hurts.

ronjames, we could probably tell some good stories. In 1987, the baht was 22 to the dollar, and yes, 300 to 400 was thee going rate. I am glad prices have climbed for the sex workers' sake, and it doesn't matter much now because I am not as horny as I as in 1987. Thankfully.

Having grown up a Catholic, I swallowed hook, line and sinker all of the indoctrination against sex, and gay sex in particular. It caused me no shortage of problems. To learn later in life that priests themselves were avidly engaging in sex and gay sex was a shock. My disillusionment with the Church grew and I finally gave it up. But many gay men have not, and they each have their own reasons. For some, it is no doubt hard to disavow something you have belonged to since birth. Gay sex is a sin, the Church says, even though so many priests delight in it, preferably with a little kid. The NY Times today has an article about a gay man in San Diego who has not only tried to keep current with his faith, but actually has a job with his parish church. Not everyone is happy. He has received many threats. Why does he continue with a church that does not want him? Read the article to find out: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/29/us/catholic-church-gay-members.html

I am sorry for your loss.

That didn't take long! One less physician to take seriously.

LOL! How did you know that was my middle name? But even Felicia has better taste in men than you do.

I definitely like some of these guys.

Your opinion will be taken under consideration.

Okay, I won't reply. And yes, that second pic guy is ugly.

Your multiple contributions here have been so enlightening I thought you had forgotten about the other site already.

Christian Bale stars very credibly as former Vice President and war criminal Dick Cheney in VICE. I thought I knew all of the evils of the Bush W. administration, but there are new revelations in the movie. The Cheney White House was full of scoundrels, none of whom have ever been punished for waging war on Irag and innocent mid-Easterners. Hundreds of thousands of people in Irag were killed, not to mention thousands of US soldiers, because Cheney had alloted the Iraq oil interests to Halliburton and the major oil companies and they had to find a way to take control of them. The damage done in the name of the United States is just shattering. Now we have Trump. Let's hope he doesn't see the movie and get any new ideas. John Yoo wrote the memo justifying torture, yet he now is a Professor at Berkeley and walks the streets without fear. Not that I would suggest he be tortured. I wouldn't, right?

It's not that they offend me! You don't have to be a smartass. The owner of the site says that they cannot be posted in forums where the general public can see them. As far as I know, this is a public forum. Other forums are for members with ten posts or more and allow nudity/porn.

Isn't this a forum where nude pics are not allowed?

As he should be. Who would want to share Christmas with him? He's plotting what else he can do for Putin and how else he can screw our allies. But at least he gave us that tax cut. I haven't seen any savings yet from it, and I don't expect to. Luckily I don't own stocks.

It's a lovely ad. Maybe next year I will do my Christmas shopping at Sainsbury's! Especially if that cute guy is my salesman!

Congratulations, Oz. It was well worth it for you to do this, and I hope that your health continues to agree. 175 pounds! I just lost 15, and that seems awfully minor now!

I don't know what Spacey will have to do to win back the confidence of the public. I'd hate to see us lose a very talented gay actor because he groped an 18-year old. But, just as in the MeToo movement, some people are out for blood. Nothing short of castration will satisfy them. For me, if he is convicted, he should serve his time, pay his fine, and make amends to the boys he offended. If did that sincerely, I would welcome him back into the theater. As for gay men, my guess is that many of us have acted inappropriately at times. There was an era when open gay sex was being celebrated, and we did just that. Numerous underage guys have hit on me. I politely resisted. I remember being at a party with a date and a thirteen year old kept begging me for sex. I said I was with someone. He replied, we can go do it and be back before he knows you are gone! Actually, no, we couldn't. But many teens had already come to grips with their sexuality. A lot sooner than I ever did. What were they expected to do for sex? The law says and said then that we cannot indulge them. It must be tough to have a teenagers raging hormones and no outlet but your hand.

Spacey is wealthy and doesn't need to work another day. But, as an artist, this video reminds us that he has a talent. To cut off that talent so abruptly must hurt a lot. He talks about people rushing to judgment without any facts, without any evidence. He plays a character rather than himself. Why? The statements of his multiple accusers are evidence. Whether it's he said, she said doesn't matter. Statements are admissible in court, where they might be established as facts. That's the benefit of a public trial where a person who said something must now bring the facts that support it. They get cross-examined, and their statements are entered only in accordance with the rules of law. No hearsay, for example. So Spacey is right that no facts have been established. But we do have multiple statements. Most of those will never see a courtroom due to the statue of limitations. But people are entitled to their opinions, whether based on a statement or a fact. Too bad for him, because the statements alone, even outside a court of law, cumulatively make a case against Spacey that many, if not most, find credible. So there are courts of law and courts of public opinion. He's already lost in the latter. It will be interesting to see if he takes the latest case all the way to trial.
