This tweet and video is heartwarming. The replies beneath it show stereotypical replies by christo-fascists ad the legacy of the British Empire

I'd embed the video if I could

Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned the dark meat and white
But I fought the temptation with all of my might
Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees...
Happy eating to all - pass the cranberries, please.
May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump,
May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.

Peter White explains why getting mad at a man hitting on you [assuming you are not gay] is like getting mad at someone for giving you free money.

He is to be deported because he has failed to prove it.

Put this into your own context. You are in a foreign country and will face real harm if you cannot prove you are gay. You do not have any friends or family available to you at all, ever.  Now, prove you are gay.

Please read the first five bullets of the netiquette announcement. They do cover this matter. This announcement here, today, is a temporary measure to draw attention to my intense displeasure at their breach


I dislike political epithets such as the one being bandied around that is a portmanteau of 'liberal' and 'retard' Indeed I deprecate the use of 'retard' to indicate any form of intellectual capacity, and will treat continued use of such words to be an indication that the person deploying them is making a conscious choice not to be part of the forum.

Deploying such words is, of itself, an ad hominem insult to and attack on those against whom it is being used, whether directed at another with precision or directed at a group in general. Continual deployment from this point in indicates to me that I may need to enforce the decision to quit made by the repeated user of such terms.

I do not care whether or not those words are used in common parlance.

I will not have this place reduced to bear baiting nor cock fighting. Put plain, it is not going to happen.

I can, and will, filter future deployment of such words in a manner to make the poster look ridiculous, if I have to. Please remember that this forum is a benevolent dictatorship, run by me. It will not descend into chaos

I'm sure I'm not the only guy here old enough to have had a boyhood crush on David Robinson who played Midshipman Harvey Crawford in the 1962 "HMS DEFIANT." In those days, for a quarter, you could spend all day in the movies. The main feature, cartoons, news reels, coming attractions... not to mention nickel popcorn and nickel Cokes. I was eleven, and this boy was my wanking fantasy for several weeks. A bit of retro inspiration.

Hello people of this awesome place! <3

I hope you're all doing well.
J is here, or Josh, whichever.
I just wanted to maybe extend a pleasant invitation to be friends. Smile
I don't have very man physical friends where I am.. Doesn't really help that most simple things are rather difficult for me.
Buut anyway. I won't go into that here^^;

Take care everyone. And thanks for reading my poems that I post in the forum. I do appreciate it. And I hope they can help you in some way.
I know a lot of them are dark poems. I guess I'm good at it.. Most of the time, life is just a little lonely.. But that's okay too. I know we can't talk to each other all the time.

So if you want to be friends, or if you need someone to talk to, I'll be here for you. Promise.
Take care. And stay safe and happy.

We had a major period of time yesterday and running into this morning, UK time, when the site was inaccessible. So was our hosting provider.

We have concluded that this was because someone had messed up a routing table, and pretty much screwed everyone over in that data centre.

As I am sure you realise, this was their cockup, but it was our arse that suffered.

Thank you for those who emailed to say "The site is down" all of which arrived when the site returned. When the domain is inaccessible that is also true for email. The sending and receiving of emails is impossible in that situation.

All you have to remember is it was a cockup, and that our arse bore the brunt of it. Their cockup, our arse!

Mine is not as attractive as other people's but it is not disgusting.

Where do we get this bizarre set of standards from:
  1. Female breasts may be shown in national daily newspapers and are acceptable on many beaches worldwide
  2. Full read and frontal female nudity is shown in mainstream films
  3. Vaginas may be shown in soft core porn
  4. Female anuses may not be shown except in hard core porn. Bizarrely, they are on display to the male partner when engaged in a doggy style penetration
  5. Female nudity is acceptable in many nations worldwide, and, often surprisingly, in Europe in 'sensible places'
  6. Male breasts may be in public display anywhere
  7. Penises may almost never be shown
  8. Full frontal male nudity is unacceptable in mainstream films
  9. An erect penis must never be shown in any format except hard core porn
  10. The male anus is obviously so disgusting that it may not be shown in heterosexual porn, though may be in homosexual porn
  11. Males in nudist resorts are required never to become erect. How possible is it to control your penis 100% of the time?

Where has all this crap come from?

We have, now, the chance to get non adult male circumcision for non medical reasons, debated in the UK parliament. We need 100,000 signatures on this petition. Obviously only those with a relevant UK address may sign. 

It is time to get this barbaric practice banned by law, just as it is for girls

Over adulthood folk can do what they like with their own bodies. Under adulthood the parent inflicts it on the boy.

Which orgasm type are you?

When I watch porn where a guy is having a serious wank I have noticed two types of action at orgasm and ejaculation time. One is the guy whose muscles tense, whose butt squeezes, whose hand turns into a blur and really seems to work hard at it. That's type 1 in the question below. The other is the guy who just strokes casually and passes through orgasm and ejaculation with an outflow of semen that doesn't seem to affect him, almost as if he is having a conversation with you while having an orgasm. That's type 2.

Type 1
Type 2
Mostly type 1, sometimes 2
Mostly type 2, sometimes 1
Both, equally
Either, at my choice
What is an orgasm?

Unfortunately on Sunday, Monday for you, I have to wrap up the sun and send it back to you.  We've used a lot of it this year, but despite that it's only just begun to get warm.
Sunday, 21 June 2015, 16.38 GMT / UTC.  It will have a Havana postmark on it.

Winter? You (Northern) lot can have it, we're over it already!

Long, long ago, and far, far way, I started this site for reasons that are unrelated to stories. The site is about gay kids and the adults they become who are in pain. The site is for those folk, folk like you, folk like me. The forum has always been, first and foremost, for those folk, leavened by banter, humour, light heartedness.

Look back deep into the older posts and you will find folk who have used the forum to start to work through the horrors that beset them, sometimes horrors made by others, sometimes horrors made by them, themselves. So are answered, most are answered. Some are simply the poster needing to expose their demons to their own scrutiny.

I just want to remind you, perhaps especially my email friend who told me that the site is not an agony aunt, that it is. It most assuredly is.
