In my case, over 8k miles. I do not give an exact number because I grew up in more than one location in Argentina. Interesting, I have been in the elite group since very little.

I just read this. I am so sorry! I hope you are recovering fast. Hopefully, I am leaving this weekend to Buenos Aires. I have both Pfizer shots, but I am not going to be careless. Wish me luck, things are really bad down there.

Thank you! I love Marcelo, he was a huge influence when I was giving my first steps in gay life and activism back in the 80s, in Buenos Aires. I am trying to trigger some questioning. There is too much mediocrity and self centered satisfaction in Gay mainstream, specially in the USA. Did you hear of "épater les bourgeois"? Each one of my examples alone is of course a weak argument, and perhaps they may not coincide with your personal experience. Look at everything together. It is not just terminology. There is a progression in our self awareness and in the understanding of how sexuality and gender are social constructions. The idea of more or less rigid sexual identities/sexualities is still mainstream, but a different understanding is growing. It is both. Dissatisfied? I think you are too sweet. I do not have anything against coming out. I am out and proud of it. What I find disgusting is the sense of superiority that privileged men feel from coming out (there is a difference between pride and self-aggrandizement), and the way they look down to other men that made a different decision in their lives. These idiotic fundamentalists of being out and loud, without considering privileges and circumstances, they are quite mainstream nowadays and just one of the things (remember, do not look just at ONE) that is tearing the gay out of me. Hell yes. My handle is a testimony of the last century. I am an old man. I considered switching it to Jose Soplanucas, my blog's handle. However, I am not ashamed of my past mistakes and misconceptions, but quite proud of being almost 60 and still keeping my mind open and my willingness to change the only thing where I can really operate changes, myself. So I decided to keep it, and keep all the history of my evolving open to everyone. You drink your wine, I smoke my pot.

For those of you who like Rupaul"s Drag Race, this show may be interested. As an Argentine, I am drooling, but I wonder how an alien would process the experience. Starting in the third episode, you can use YouTube's automatic translation. GAME OF QUEENS

I think you are pointing to a tradition much more universal than the Arab world, and much more ancient than the Middle Ages.

For me, replace "Brazil" with "life". Even if incidentally I am planning to spend a substantial portion of my future life in Brazil.

I find interesting that no one says anything about the pervasive Racism, Classism, Misogyny, Machism, and overall Conservatism I find in nowadays gayness.

I do speak from my privilege and understand if someone still needs to grabs to an outdated way to understand sexuality. However, if you arre living in an urban area in a progressive city in most Western countries, and still feeling a thrill for Gay Pride, I humbly think you are setting the barre too low for yourself.

I do not think you have read beyond the headline.

Living in the post HIV/AIDS pandemic era, and considering the rising of awareness around intersectionality and the cultural nature of humanity, maybe it is time to question again whether or not "Gay" is the right place to be and to fight for. I do not think so. GAY IS NOT GOOD

LOL

I am loving this thread! While we wait for the next post (from whoever, everyone is being VERY informative!), let me share one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite Cuban singers.

Thank you for your reports @iendo! Keep bringing details when you have time, please. Yours is, I think, the freshest report we have on Cuba. It is interesting, because your experience seems to contradict a quite established narrative here. According to this narrative, the good times for gay tourism are way behind in the island.

@iendo, would you give us more details on your visits in 2019? Please?

I do not think he cares about the specific dating, 90s or whenever. He wants to know how it was better, considering he had a greats time in 2029. I am not trying to be his interpreter. I want to know how.

I am surprised you did not include Rio. I did not answer the question because I do not think it is a question well asked. I do not think there is such a thing as "the best place to meet boys". The best place for you may not be the best place for me. Others friends could have listed São Paulo, Salvador, Mexico DF, the Mayan Peninsula, Berlin, Varsovia, Bangkok, Manila, and the list may go on and on. PS. I just realized I did not list any city from North Africa. I would have not done that twenty years ago.

Why do you think anyone can know what the situation in July will be? In pandemic times, talking about July is science fiction.

At 3?????

No, thank you. Too close to my situation.

The only way bad sushi could stop @Tomcal from attending 117.

If you are paying, you should have no concerns.

Thank you, my friend. I am flattered. I cannot wait to see if the studios register the blossoming of creativity in the independent circuit, and the awakening on discrimination and job sexual harassment, and operates changes in their practices. I am pesimistic. By the way, Rhyheim is about to reach the 1M followers mark in Twitter.

Marcelo Pombo has just liberated 20 years if his productions. He is my friend and one of my favorite South American contemporaneous plastic artists. You can visit the website with the catalogue of two decades: https://marcelopomboimagenesliberadas.com You can also read my report: https://ilikepinga.com/2021/05/08/sexodelico/ SIEMPRE ALERTA (ALWAYS ALERT)

I wish I had more access to Dominican media. I find the music of their speaking to be the sexiest and even kinkiest of all Spanish accents. When I hear a Dominican man talking, I always read sex in between lines. Sometimes I get horny speaking to some of my students' fathers on the phone.
