I wasn't sure I'd get something whipped together, but since the weekend I've gone from Nothing But A Title to Third Draft. Probably a couple more days of editing before I submit it.

Still hasn’t happened. Doesn’t do much for me. Cock does, though.

You’re not wrong that the US has outperformed other economies, but Americans are pretty well known for not seeing past our own borders.

Quote by MorePleasin

Can someone please explain to this this dumb Canuck what the "complete disaster" was that "fucked this country to its foundation" ?

Crime and inflation. The former exploded in the wake of the Pandemic (though it has since eased to pre-2020 levels), and although not strictly the Biden admin’s fault, it was widely blamed on the social justice movement and DEI, so now we have an enormous backlash to deal with on gender and race both. Trump was well equipped to fuel and feed on white-people and male resentment)..

Inflation has also “eased,” but slowing the rate of increase is not the same as returning prices to 2019 levels (which would be impossible). It was largely not Biden’s fault (more due to the Pandemic supply problems and the Ukraine invasion), but the fact remains that food and goods cost 20-25% more than pre-Pandemic, and housing costs are a staggering 50% higher when count in the oligarch-friendly interest rate increases. Those who’ve remained in owned houses have been blissfully insulated from the housing increase, but those who bought first homes or who rent are feeling a lot of pain, and house-poverty is at an all-time high, also raising the rate of food insecurity to levels we haven’t seen in a long time.

Although the job market remains strong, wages have not come close to keeping up. The material standard of living for a majority of Americans has declined substantially during the Biden admin. The Dems’ response has been to gaslight them by reminding them the economy is strong and inflation has eased. While that is technically true, it is far from the “I feel your pain” of Clinton (not that I’m a fan), and seems calculated to drive people into the arms of the opposition. It’s always about the economy, stupid. There could have been a Democratic path to victory through this minefield, but they were far too clueless about the plight of working people to see it.

More succinctly: Bernie’s right, Jaime’s wrong. Full stop.

As I go to bed, Kamala seems to be running out of runway, her only real remaining path to 270 being the blue-wall states, and even those are starting to look like a stretch.

The Dems should be winning this by more than 10 points. Anyone think a loss will force a serious reckoning over their repeated, colossal fuckups this year? I don't. If there's anyone who can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it's the Democratic Party.

Buckle up, my friends. The barbarians are breaking through the gates.

Sucking cock.

I might be okay with it if we had both just been outside doing sweaty stuff together beforehand. Playing a lively game or building a deck or going for a run could get me really horny. I can totally see going for it and sucking each other off, sweat and all, before hitting the shower. And after.

I notice the shape, especially that of the glans, more than the size. A hot cock definitely sends a hot signal directly from my eyes to my own penis. Lately I'm especially turned on by uncut ones, and thoughts of what I can do with all that foreskin, though cut ones are great too. I do find pubic hair (on BOTH men and women!) to be a huge turn-on, so shaved doesn't do as much for me - although a beautiful shaved cock can still turn me on. Size might matter more if I had a pussy, but I'm wanting it to go in my mouth or my ass, and I'm not sure bigger is better for those holes.

Good for you for coming to the realization. As a man I can’t offer much beyond wishing you well in your journey, but I think you will find people on Lush very supportive. This is the only place I have ever revealed my bisexuality, and I certainly have found Lushers supportive.

I’ve always been turned on by the idea of sucking a man, but the desire to kiss a man didn’t show up until I passed fifty. Now it’s very strong, and seems like it would add incredible erotic energy to an encounter. Honestly, now it’s hard to imagine kissing not being part of the deal, as with being with a woman.

Always wondered if circle jerks were just an urban legend. Certainly never had the opportunity come up. And I would certainly have enjoyed it.

Then again, I would have enjoyed stroking each other even more. And sucking each other even more than that.

EDIT, early 2026: See my Serial Thriller series below for a hot circle jerk that escalates to more than that.

1. Cum in a women's pussy - YES.
2. Cum in a women's ass - no, and no real interest.
3. Cum in a women's mouth - YES.
4. Cum in a man's mouth - no, but on the bucket list.
5. Cum in a man's ass - , no, butt on the bucket list.
6. Have a man cum in your mouth - YES, once. Want a lot more of this.
7. Have a man cum in your ass - no, but would give up my ass for the right guy.

To the OP, please do not have sex with these assholes. And for the love of God, do not give them blowjobs. All it does is enable selfish behavior, a problem that gets worse with age if people keep enabling it. You owe that much to the fellow women they will date in the future. Variation of the Campsite Rule.

Or, it’s possible some of these guys are gay. I have a good friend from college who used to tell me he didn’t like going down on women, but I have always suspected (and not just for this reason) that he is gay. I still do, in fact. And being bi-curious myself, I may finally test the hypothesis someday. FWIW this friend is the model for “Rick” in my Midlife Renewal series.

Quote by dpw

So, are guys better at sucking cock?

Yes! We know what it feels like, same reason women are often better at eating pussy.

Quote by bigjohne1

Well, being a man, never given one, but sure have received a bunch! ;)

Being a man doesn’t mean you haven’t given one. And this is Ask the Guys. And some of us have.

I wouldn't say it necessarily means the OP has bi tendencies. In the last few years, bate clubs have sprung up all over the country, and from the sound of it they attract plenty of straight guys who don't want contact.

Not that there aren't also plenty of participants who are there to jerk and be jerked by other guys, which sounds absolutely hot AF to me.

Haven't, but want to. Sucking is the ultimate (for me), but I love the idea of jerking each other, possibly while also kissing.

Quote by joe71

I did feel a bit depressed about people's tastes for a bit there, when a couple of what sure seemed to me like AI fakes topped the Gallery for days on end. Not that those shouldn't be allowed, just makes me sad when those are the pictures turning the most people on. I like humans, and their imperfections. Glad to see the top results mixing it up a bit again!

Not really. I might do it if I were with a woman who was REALLY into it, but in general the idea of a cold, foreskin-less piece of plastic in me isn't very appealing.

What is appealing, however, is the idea of a warm, throbbing, jizz-jetting human penis inside me.

Quote by Tim1990

We were both sixteen. He was my best friend. After masturbating together, oral was the next step (on the way to anal). I gave and received. It was amazing. Bi since that day.

So hot! I love the idea of taking best-friendship to the next level.

I'll repeat the astonishment I expressed in my comment to "Think of Me ..." What an incredibly powerful and sexy story, and to realize (which I didn't, until after I'd finished it) that it's 100% dialogue illuminates it as a staggering achievement. Well done, and well deserved.

Congratulations as well to everyone else named in the top ten. I've read, Liked and commented on every one of these tales, and they all deserve the recognition.

Kudos also to all who entered: even beyond the Top Ten, I found numerous stories to Like and quite a few to add to my Favorites collection as well. It was great fun reading them all, something I don't always manage to do.

Thanks for sharing this. This visitor to people's profile pages does find all the "scam" (maybe they meant "spam?") posts interesting, and I'll remember to start clicking All now.

Good work ditching the Grammarly app. It made my not-very-old Mac so slow as to be nearly unusable, even when I wasn’t using it or editing. Uninstalled it and everything returned to normal. I still have the Grammarly Safari plug-in, and that mostly works okay.

Maria Schneider. She was not informed of the scene (which was not in the script) until moments before and director Bertolucci insisted it not be simulated. She suffered for years after and died at 58.

Yikes, serious scumbaggery at work there. I have not seen Last Tango and didn’t realize I was echoing it when I wrote Island Pleasures last year. At least no one was assaulted in the making of my version.

As for Saltburn, I’ve now seen it, and it wasn’t as weird as I expected.

Quote by Magical_felix

could have bladed his ear or just poured some ketchup on it. Haven't y'all ever seen wrestling?

“Could have” is a long fucking way from “did.”

Quote by RowanThorn

Anyone who claims it was staged cannot possibly begin to fathom how hard it would be to clip a person’s ear.

Seems like a disenfranchised young white male obsessed with guns looking to make a name for himself.

That was my first thought too. At 150 yards you are either shooting to kill, or shooting to miss. Unless you are a colossally skilled sniper, you are not shooting to graze an ear. And FWIW, Crooks was regarded by members of the local gun club as a lousy shot. He is not the guy you would send in if this was your desired outcome.

Quote by WellMadeMale

This wasn't a Sirhan Sirhan style of murder attempt. This was an uber staged secret service special, made for TV and slow motion replays.

No matter how massively this may have benefited the Trump campaign, and how iconically it was photographed, there is not currently any real evidence that it was staged. The fact that Trump is pretty much guaranteed a win now does not establish that the shooting was staged. Sorry.

What our political climate really does not need more of is the bandying of bold conspiracy hypotheses (many of which don’t deserve the label “theory”), based merely on an (often shadowy) beneficiary of a particular event - but without any actual evidence. This is happening increasingly on both sides of the political divide.

Agreed, Bill, this is not a good thing. No matter how I feel about Trump or any other President, for the stability of the Republic I don't want to see them getting shot. I guess we'll learn more about the identity of the shooter in the next couple of days.

Maybe if it isn't too big, and it's well warmed and lubed. The idea of someone else shoving a cold plastic object in my ass does not appeal, isn't a particular turn-on, though I'd do it if she really wanted. Nevertheless, pegging IS a major element of my Dirty Talk contest entry: No-Dating Policy.

What I'd rather have in there is a warm, pulsing actual human cock. Now that does sound enjoyable.

A girlfriend and I once had fun feeling each other up in the back of the family station wagon at a drive-in, but there were a lot of people around and we drove somewhere more secluded to finish the job and fuck.

But in my imagination, spy movies are great for getting busy in the back row: Summer Cockbuster.
